in the blink of an eye

CNY is over! Thank goodness this year is much more bearable than the past years because I was actually chatting with people, mostly with my cousin's new wife, Tina. She's pretty fun and cute, and a life scientist like me :P And she hates research HAHA!!! She is moving back to Melbourne with my cousin in Feb! I have a new shopping partner :X

One other good thing this CNY was the food prepared by my grandaunt, who is a Peranakan. She makes the most AWESOME and FANTASTIC sambal fried rice EVER. I look forward to it every year. And the most AMAZING salted vegetables and duck soup.... Ohhhhhh yum. Stuffed my face.

Anyway, I usually never liked CNY because I don't like having to be like a trained performing smiling monkey for rellos I never see anyway. And ang paos? I am not allowed to use them anyway... So other than the awesome sambal fried rice and soup there is nothing to look forward to really.

turn off that nasty CNY music

Well, I didn't do much since last year, having been wonderfully unproductive and lazy.

I did do some shopping on and offline.


Firstly, this dress from etsy.com:



And also a MAC 15 pan palette to house some of my eyeshadows:


Also bought a Spiked eyebrow pencil and finally bought a new loose powder- Chanel's poudre universalle libre. Not tried it yet :P

I am returning to Melbs on the 14th of Feb... But I only arrive on the morning of 15th and won't be able to spend V-day with Elliot .... Poo.
