Update: Moved to New York

Hello, hello. It's been so long. Technically, I did post a few times during the spring/early summer but that barely counts because it just wasn't as in depth as my usual posts. Not necessarily length-wise, but it was just different. As usual, I didn't finish my travel posts either haha. I really doubt I'll get to them... although I haven't been able to clear my phone of the photos until I do! As I sit here writing this, I'm actually procrastinating studying for the CPA. I have no idea how I'm going to get them done before the exam changes/NTS expires but let's hope for the best.

So as many of you know, or if you haven't really been keeping up with my life, I moved to New York on August 1! And started my job a few days later. My apartment is quite small and old, but for the price and location, I can't really complain too much either. Although I've already had a bunch of freak outs and definitely days where I wanted to LEAVE.

My room is also tiny and a bit smaller than I would have liked. For reference, I wanted a 10x10, which honestly isn't even that big either, but I'm living in a 8x10 room. The photo above was minutes after moving in. All those plastic bags covered my entire floor, or what little floor I have. There was no room for anything. It took maybe a day or so to clear it off. The floor wasn't too bad because somehow I was able to navigate to the bed. The worst was clearing off my bed:

But the struggle really came from realizing I didn't have enough drawer/closet space to fit everything so I needed to buy a second clothes rack, so until then (which ended up being ~3 weeks later) I slept with this remaining pile: 

Those plastic bags from earlier actually have a majority of my clothes.. so this was only a fraction of it. Yet... I always seem to end up wearing the same few outfits, hm... Now I have an ugly, out of place clothes rack in my room that takes up 40% of the empty space I used to have.

This is the closet I have to a room photo:

You can tell which rack sticks out like a sore thumb... you can also use your imagination for the rest of my room :)

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up has been something I picked up recently, and hopefully it'll cure me of my hoarding problem—although, the thought of it saddens me because I love all my things :'(

I think that I'm adjusting fairly well. It's a really big city with a lot of people, so naturally it can feel lonely—but luckily, I haven't experienced that negatively yet. I befriended some new people, mainly coworkers but for the most part I've kept to myself lately. It doesn't really bother me too much, I think just working and getting home late definitely contributes to it. Because by the time I get home, it's usually 7 or 8. After cooking, eating, and cleaning up, it's already 9:30 or so. By then I just want to sit in bed and watch Gilmore Girls (all the time which could've been spent studying, tsk tsk).

Just wanted to do a quick update, I think most of this post sums it up. To end the post, I tried to look for nice photos to balance out the ones of my room.. but I was only able to pull up two. I guess my life hasn't been that interesting :'(

Oh, on that note, another slight update (ish)! I've recently (both in the few months) upgraded! From my iPhone 5 and Sony TX9 to an iPhone 7 Plus and Sony RX100 II. Hopefully my photos reflect that from now on :) Room photos are still with the old phone. Although I find that the 7 has pretty pixilated looking photos?

Tacos from Los Tacos No.1; Adobada (Marinated Pork) is probably my favorite!

Until next time~

Herp Derp Derp

If you didn't know, I'm going to be interning in New York for the summer. So I went to NY with my mom on Saturday and she accompanied me because her friends were here as well. So I stayed up the night before packing and everything and we arrived some time past noon. 

But then a few hours later... I realized that I didn't have my passport for paperwork that I needed for my internship. D:< It was a Saturday, so I couldn't mail it (even overnighting) and get it by Monday morning, where I needed it in my hands by 6:30AM. So the only choice I had was to take the bus back home the same night T__T;;; I didn't even get home until... 4:30AM. I slept in and took the bus back to New York the next day (Sunday) and didn't get settled into my place until nearly midnight :( Needless to say, I was super tired at work the next day.

Oh, but to derp more, since I didn't actually get to move in on Saturday, what happened was that my mom's friend had all my luggage because I wasn't able to get it to my place that night. So then on Sunday night, I realized that my hardcopy of the paperwork was still with the friend.... Derp... and I don't have a printer here, so... fml. Nowhere to print it, and it's just as important as my passport, that I wasted all my time and money on getting if I didn't forget it T_T I almost forgot the paperwork when I left home, but remembered it right before I headed out, so not sure why I forgot my passport =(

Luckily, I was able to print the paperwork at my friend's house on Monday morning, only to realize once I got to work that it was supposed to be submitted online, not an original copy. Fml.

On a side note, I would get sick the night before my first day, so I've been sick all week :( Just have an uncomfortable (not sore) throat and small cough.

It's been a busy week, but I'll try to finish up my Singapore posts soon, and maybe more updates on my first week.

Summer 2014 New York Trip

Was just about to type up this post when I realized that I didn't go on an annual New York trip at the end of July with friends as I normally did in the past 3 years(?). 

I went to New York on Sunday night (8/10), even though I was originally planning on going on Monday morning, but my mom wanted me to do earlier >_> Super stressed that day because I had no time to do anything and ended up flaking on one of my friends and luckily my aunt came over to drive me to the station and help me pack. Even as I was rushing out of the house, I ended up dropping a container of this herbal tea and it broke D: So I only had time to pick it up and throw it into the sink without cleaning up the mess. 

Primary reasons for this trip was helping my aunt get her visa and visiting friends from college. I got up in the morning to go to the consulate and within 5 minutes I was out the door because apparently you HAVE to have your flight and hotel booked before you can apply for your visa and my aunt had not done that, sooo it was such a waste of time going there! It was super sunny and far too. 

Not only that, but I wasn't supposed to meet up with my friend until 2:00-3:00PM but it wasn't even noon yet! I didn't have the keys to go home and by the time I did get back it'd be almost time to head out again, also waste of train fare.

So I ended up going to a Starbucks for like an hour or less. Apparently they charge for refills now too :O Whaat. Then decided to go to these bead stores on 6th Ave. I actually ended up walking in a huge circle because of that detour I took to go to Starbucks D: 

So spent maybe one hour in total in those stores as I waited for my friend to come. Ended up spending like $30 on a few things >< And I still feel like I don't have enough to make anything either.. didn't realize it was such an expensive hobby. I was kinda into crystal beads at some point and kind of got interested into more of the jewelry aspect of it, but nothing ever actually came out of that. 

After meeting up with my friend I went to Kambi and got their basic spicy ramen. It wasn't actually that spicy though, and I was super full halfway through, probs because I've cut down on the amount of food I've been eating lately, even though normally I'd probs have like two servings or something. 

Then went to Mango Mango for drinks and it was actually pretty good, though the crystal jelly was kind of weird. Then went home. My feet are so tired from walking all day :(

The next day considered of going to Joe's Shanghai and Cha Chan Tang for food. Then as nerdy as it sounds, we went to a PC cafe afterwards because we didn't know what to do. It was a lot cheaper than I expected ($2/hr) though the place was pretty hot.

It started pouring an hour before my bus though and I had to help my mom and aunt get pastries so that wasn't very fun. But yeah, that concludes the trip, so until next time!

Winter Break: Brooklyn & Sick

Day 5: December 30, 2013 - Day 12: January 6, 2014, New York
For the next few days, a couple of friends joined me in New York, so I spent most of my time in Brooklyn. Since I'm writing this like a month later, I honestly don't remember too much so I'll probably cut it short.

Had curry for lunch when we met up

I went shopping at Woodbury Common. I bought a few things from J.Crew for the first time and from a few other stores. I think at least 30% of the money I spent during the duration of the trip was from this day. 

I got to try Joe's Shanghai, which has a lot of raving reviews on Yelp. It was my second time trying 小龙包 and it was good, but I couldn't tell the difference between crab meat and pork (?) ones. The scallion pancake was also yummy.

Originally, we were supposed to go watch the ball drop for New Year's, but they didn't really seem to want to and it was also really cold that night, so we decided against it and just stayed in. It's still on my bucket list to do though.

I also tried sliders from White Castle for the first time, I think I had like 5 or 6 even though I wasn't even planning on eating that many T_T

We were also supposed to go to Philly, but that didn't work because of huge snowstorm.

I tried okonomiyaki for the first time. I forgot what I thought of it though.

Curry ramen... it wasn't that good though.

I headed back to Manhattan on Saturday morning and by then I was starting to get pretty sick. For the next few days until it was time to go to Canada, I stayed in bed, sick. I had quite a bit of a fever and did nothing but sleep for most of the day.

Well, that was basically it for New York. 

Spring Break 2014

This spring break I went to New York, so nothing too special. There wasn't much of a reason to stay home because nobody else would be there. I booked my tickets last month, and I was able to get them for $6.50 roundtrip :))

The ride up wasn't bad at all, I spent it watching My Love from the Star. The ony thing was I couldn't find the outlet lol because it was on the overhead for the opposite side, but it was between the seats for mine and I couldn't find it. When I finally did, it stopped working >:( so I ended up using up most of my phone's battery, whoops.

I got there sort of late so I just got takeout to bring back to eat and that was about it for the rest of the night.

The next day, I woke up to go watch my friend play handball. I went to Wah Fung #1 Fast Food for lunch and ended up getting a small 叉烧饭 for $3.50. The big one was definitely a better deal, but I couldn't finish it. I only ate half of mine, which I brought back for a midnight snack. 

Next, we went to Brooklyn to play pool and ping pong. Spent probably two hours or so there. Had dinner at Gia Lam II, a Vietnamese restaurant that I suspect to be owned by Chinese people because the servers spoke Chinese. Had a bit of a night high because my friend and I just sat there for a while laughing for no reason. 

The next day I woke up at 7:30AM because it was kind of noisy..despite going to bed around 4:00AM. So I just watched more of my drama. The agenda for the day was KBBQ, Dave and Busters, and Joe's Shanghai to finish off. The KBBQ place was in Flushing, which seemed so much further than the first time I went, or maybe just because the restaurant was a 20 minute walk from the station. Anyways, I ended up taking one of those vans that goes from Chinatown to Flushing for $3.75 because it seemed quicker that way and cheaper than taking the LIRR. 

I'm not sure why but my boots were scratching the back of both my feet really badly so walking was a bitch. I checked it after and the inside back of my boots are starting to get messed up :/ I only got them a few months ago too. 

The KBBQ place I went to is called Picnic Garden. The service was alright, the waitress came around sometimes to cut up the meat. It was an all you can eat place, with options laid out for you to grab and some prepared foods, which was cold/slightly warm at best. The total came to about $18+tip/person, which I think is cheap for KBBQ. 

After that we took the bus back and dropped by Kungfu Tea and Paris Baguette. But because of a mean comment I made, my friends left me there wtf. I think they may have jokingly left, or maybe not, but I'm not really the type to go find them when they do that so I went home instead. And that was about the rest of my day. I got curry chicken for takeout from a Vietnamese place. 

On Thursday, I spent the day with a friend from school. I ended up a bit late because I overslept and had a hard time getting out of bed. We met up at the Rockefeller Center and the whole day we kind of walked within that area.. Since we passed by it at least three times. We walked around Park Ave, went to Korea Town, and Grand Central Station because I've never been to the last two before. We went to a restaurant called Kun Jip. I had a soon doo boo and it was alright. I got full quickly. 

Dropped by another Paris Baguette to pick up some pastries. I ended up indulging myself in the very berry shortcake (?) and it ended up tasting like a typical Chinese birthday cake. I was hesitant because it was pricey ($5.75?) and it probably was a waste but oh well. Lesson learned. I also got the Tiramisu bun thing, which I reallyed liked. The fruit pastry was dry so it wasn't as good. The chocolate cream bun was also average. 

We went to Bryant Park after and I finally found a Kinokuniya. If it was a few years ago, I would probably splurge on the monthly phone book manga for the furoku, but nah. We went to the library afterwards so look around. It reminds me of a more spacious version of Copley Library. Then we sat down to chat a bit. 

We decided to go to Uniqlo to end the day but we ended up at Times Square on the way because there was an AE there. I went to F21 and got two pairs of shorts :) I got a sweater from Uniqlo which I'll probably give my mom or keep if she doesn't like it. There wasn't a bit need or want for it so I couldn't justify just getting one for myself. 

When I got back home I had an octopus spinach noodles dish that my brother got me. It was very...healthy because it was half salad, half noodles plus some slices of octopus. It was good though. I expected it to be a hot, cooked dish but it was all cold. 

I spent the night looking at job postings and went to bed. The next day I woke up much earlier than necessary but got tired so took a quick nap, which I shouldn't have because my bus was at 11:10AM and I didn't get off the train until 11:07AM and there was still another half-mile walk. Luckily... The bus was late because I got there around 11:18AM and it hadn't arrived yet. Normally I would be upset but this time I'm grateful. The ride back wasn't awful but it seemed longer, probably because I didn't want to kill my data watching my drama because the wifi is kinda crappy and I only took a short nap.

Anyways, until next time!

Winter Break Vacation: Rainy Day at the Zoo

I'm pretty sure I drafted this, but I can't find it so I'll rewrite it.

Day 4: December 29, 2014, New York

That day it was super rainy and we only had one umbrella. We definitely had nothing to dress for the nasty weather, whether it was a water-proof jacket or rain boots (or at least not me.) But my friend really wanted to go to the zoo and I wanted to be productive as well, so we went anyways.

But the way there was just terrible. On our way there, I did complain a lot because it was pouring and I was getting soaked. Still, like I said we wanted to be productive and it was also my friend's last day.

So we got to Central Park Zoo and it was practically empty. There were a few other people there, but BARELY. It was soo much smaller than I had anticipated, because when you think of a zoo, you would expect something pretty big. But it was very small and divided into different wings.

After going through everything, we finally left. We didn't really spend that much time there, actually, but we trooped back home.. and by the end of the day I was super upset because of how soaked and uncomfortable I was and I guess I kind of took it out on my friend. I did feel bad though :( I took a warm shower after that and the rest of the night was just super quiet. 

Winter Break Vacation: Bad, Bad Lunch & First Shopping Experience in NYC

Day 3: December 28, 2013, New York

Woke up at 1:15PM to my friend's spam of texts.

Our first stop for the day was Otto, near Washington Square Park. The food wasn't really that good. Ordered pasta and pizza. The pasta was overly salty and the portions were tiny. The pizza just wasn't good. Had caramel and olive oil gelato for dessert. The caramel didn't taste like caramel and the olive oil one was just weird. Not worth the $40. 

Headed to SoHo to look around. It was my first time in the shopping area there. I ended up buying a few things from Necessary Clothing and the damage wasn't too bad.. I also bought colored tights from Joe Fresh, been wanting some, so I was happy to find them for $2 each. Wasn't able to take any pictures, but I bought two tops, shorts, and a scarf.

My friend got a stomachache so ended up cutting the shopping trip short but we will be back!! The bus took forever to come, probably we got to the stop after it left or something. It was like a good 20 minute wait. 

Winter Break Vacation: Lazy Day

Day 2: December 27, 2013, New York

We woke up at 11, surprisingly, considering how late we went to sleep. But then for the next two hours it was just lots of waking up and falling back to sleep. Finally got out of bed to get dressed, ate leftover food from the night before, and got ready to head out....only to fall back asleep until 6:30PM WTF. 

Sooo finally we headed out around 7. Our first stop was Prosperity Dumplings, due to the raving reviews of how delicious and cheap they were. It was a bit of a walk there but finally got there eventually. The food was good, I got full after 9 dumplings. Wasn't a big fan of my steamed shrimp dumplings. There was too much cabbage. 

So the yesterday I couldn't figure out how to buy a weekly pass, but finally did today. So wasted $10 :(

Next stop was the Rockefeller Center. Walked around the area to see what was good. There's the giant tree. 

Then we went to the Macy's in Herald Square. I didn't know it was the largest one. It had 9 floors.. That was interesting. Spent some time going through every floor just to have gone through them. 

Last stop for the night was the Brooklyn Bridge Park. I wanted to see the Manhattan Skyline at night. The walk from the station was pretty sketchy because it was soo dark. I have better photos from a different night, I think, so I won't post them here.

Went home and slept at like 7 even though we got back at 12. No idea how it got so late. 

Annual New York Trip #3

Last month I went to New York with a bunch of friends to continue on the tradition of going to New York every year. Post about it last year [here].

Day 1: July 28

We headed out early in the morning, I think around 7:00AM after grabbing some congee for breakfast. I didn't sleep that night, so I knocked out the entire car ride. After arriving and dropping off our stuff, we went out to eat at Cha Chan Tang (茶餐廳).

Cola wings..kinda tastes like soy sauce wings to me, but I think it's made with actual coca cola.

Curry chicken..once again I couldn't finish it :(

We roamed around Chinatown and went to Chinatown Fair Family Fun Center, an arcade, briefly afterwards. Then we went to Times Square like tourists would. I got some earrings and rings from Forever21 :0 No pics, but they're cute :) 

This girl showed me a nail art kit (forgot what it was called) at Toys "R" Us and I thought the design on my ring ringer is so nice ;0 I took this pic a few days later, which is why my index finger has tip wears. The kit was like.. $25 though so nty. It's like one side is a normal applicator, like a brush, and the other is a fine pointed pen. The pen works while applied polish is still wet.

Made our way to the Rockefeller Center for some reason and some of us parted. We were getting hungry so we tried to find a place to eat. There were several complications, such as Google Maps being shitty and bringing us to the wrong place. I entered a place by name and it took me to another place T_T;; I should've known when the name showed up differently, but I was being dumb and gave it the benefit of doubt of having its name changed. -_-

Settled for the 53rd & 6th Halal Cart. I read the reviews to go to the longer line one, but I expected them to be right next to each other, but I only saw one so we went to that one and the line was suspiciously short, but I thought we were just lucky or something. 

When we crossed the street to look for the fountain to sit at, we saw the other cart with its super long line. -_- Ffs. It was $6 and yummyy. I wonder what the longer line cart would've tasted like :(

Rooftop view from the place I was staying at.

Day 2: July 29

Stayed up most of the night streaming Friends online. So..as a result I slept in quite a bit, until almost noon. I probably shouldn't have so we'd have more time to do other things, but I was tired :'(

Went out to Chinatown again for jerky, but they ran out of spicy ones :'( So we got some sweet jerky and the guy said there'd be more in two hours. 

In the meantime, we grabbed brunch at Public. The portions were fairly small, but filling enough. Decided to try something new so I got their "Fry-up" which has poached eggs. It was so-so. I think the food wasn't really my style so I'd have to give it a 6/10. Nothing wrong with it, just not worth the $13.

We went back to the jerky place after an hour and forty-five minutes. The guy said thirty more minutes, I think, and turns out the spicy one was all reserved for later too, so we just left. A couple of friends, who decided to tour around separately, came after a while and they told them longer too. -_- What the hell.

Our destination for the day: Brooklyn Height Promenade to look at the Manhattan Skyline View

We got off at Borough Hall and walked there..but Google Maps lead me to the wrong place again dammit. So after entering the right place, it took another 15 minutes or so to walk there..but it felt like half an hour T_T;; I think in the end we walked a huge circle to get here. 

 I think the actual Promenade closed down or something, so we were at the Brooklyn Bridge Park. The weather was like perfect. Kind of cloudy because it was supposed to rain, but the breeze was super nice. We relaxed for about half an hour or so before heading back so we wouldn't be late to leave.

We left around 5:00 and headed home. So that concludes the trip. Until next time!

August New York Trip

It feels like it's been a while since I've blogged! Yesterday, I went to New York with a few friends who I went with last year around the same time of the year. 

We took the 8AM bus, but it came early so we took off around 7:45AM. I almost didn't get to go on because I went to go find an ATM and by the time I got back, they just started boarding so I was near the end and two of my friends already got on so we were almost separated -.-;;

We arrived right at 12:00PM and decided to get something to eat. Originally, we were going to get dimsum, but we didn't want to go look for a place, so we settled for whatever was closest. We went to a small restaurant called Canton Kitchen. 

Pork with thousand year old egg congee

All the smaller dishes, such as the congee from this place was pretty cheap. It was $21 to fill up 4 people. The only thing that I dislike about this restaurant is that right after we got seated, it took 10 minutes for them to take our orders and that was only because we called the person over when we finally made eye contact. Another thing is that they included tips automatically, which is something that I don't think restaurants should be doing. I hope they didn't purposely do it for us because they thought we were young and were just going to leave without tips. 

Next, we went to the Elizabeth Center and by then every store was opened already.

Mini photo frames | Stickers | Planner | Tissues

Only spent $10 on these, so not bad :P The tissues were too cute to pass and they were only 5 for $1 so I split it with a friend. They probably don't even come with that many, but I'll just refill it myself. I'm probably going to use the planner for assignments and stuff. I already use Google Calendars for just normal plans, so at first I wasn't sure if I should get it or not, but it was too cute to pass xD The only problem I have with it is that the cover is (hard) paper.. so the edges and everything will wear out.

We then walked around to get beef jerky. The place on Mulberry St. was all sold out so we had to troop back to the other side on Canal St. for the other place. I only bought half a pound, but at this pound I hope I can finish it :x

Afterwards, we went to look for bubble tea. We went to a place called Vivi Bubble Tea. It was tiny and pretty crowded. The bubble tea was pretty good though and I also ordered takoyaki but that took like 10 minutes to make.

Takoyaki

It has these flakes of meat on top of it. The takoyaki itself was like a fish ball with one piece of octopus inside. This is the second time I've tried takoyaki; the first time all I tasted was batter and one piece of octopus..so not really sure how they normally are.

My aunt calls me and asks me to get her slippers for her friend's kids, but after searching over 10 stores, I found nothing :( Then we looked everywhere for a bathroom, and ended up in the Elizabeth Center again. We went into the purikura shop in the corner of the first floor and found these!! At first we found the individual masks for $1 each then I found the box :O

My Beauty Diary (我的美麗日記) Hello Kitty edition Strawberry Milk and Honey Strawberry $16 (both) | Chocolate Truffle $1

They're so cute I don't even want to open them :(

Scratch tickets.. ugh didn't win anything :( I bought a bingo one and some of the letters/numbers that I scratched out weren't even on the board. Such a troll D:

And to save the best for last... I found Cure Natural Aqua Gel in New York!! I've been looking for it all over, especially whenever I'm in like Asian supermarkets. I've looked all over at Pacific Mall in Canada and even the last time I was in New York to no avail... but finally I found it :)

Cure Natural Aqua Gel $40

It costs roughly the same as online.. and it was always such a splurge to buy it, so I never pulled the trigger. But now that it's actually in front of me, I couldn't hold the temptation any longer. I was a bit skeptical as to whether it was counterfeit or not though..since this is the ONLY store that sells it out of like the 50+ that I've visited, so it's kind of sketchy. I brought this up to my friends, who were also interested in buying it. I admit it was sort of rude, but we don't want to spend $120 on something fake when it comes to skincare. The saleslady at the store told us that they're an authorized seller on the site. I actually looked it up too, but I didn't find anything on Toyo's site. I'll just give them the benefit of doubt xD

So that about concludes my trip :) We stopped by Popeye's for some food and a tea shop called Yaya Tea Garden for more bubble tea. We also got curry fish balls 11 for $2!! Which is way cheaper than I've ever seen. My friend also got an onigiri and it was so delicious!! Wish they were available here :( The downside about this store is that they ran out of the loyalty sorta cards that they stamp. Oh well.

Cotton Candy sunset/small skyline

That's my update for now!! Hope you're all enjoying your summer. I have two weeks left of my internship, so I hope it ends well. 

Weekly Recap: 3/5/12-3/11/12

An update to the whole iTunes situation.. they actually refunded me for the first transaction, but in iTunes credit...which I won't even need. Plus they told me they'd refund it in the original payment methods..so I emailed them but they wouldn't do anything x__x As for the $3x transaction..the transaction cleared with my bank before I could put it on hold & call the bank..so hopefully I can get that money back!

Anyways, here's a recap of what happened last week!

I went to Dave and Busters last Monday. We spent $35 there..and only got around 700 tickets? Which was just enough to get this fellow. :D My top shelf is getting too full for my domos x_x

 Ichigo from a pastry shop :D They're expensive though..like $2.95 each, so I couldn't get that many.

Wednesday night dinner.. had a late shift at work :( Went to get froyo, but they didn't really have the flavors that I liked.. so I didn't really get that much. 

If you remember Yeh from my Canada post, it's a place where I got froyo and crepes. They recently opened up one about half an hour drive away and I wanted to try it so this Friday I had time to go :D THEY'RE SO DELICIOUS! I wish it was closer to home because it is quite far to go often :( They froyo was very rich in flavor. There's like so many different flavors in my cup xD Strawberry mixed w/cheesecake, blueberry, mango, cookies and cream, smores mixed w/vanilla and that's it, I think. They were all so good, but my favorite would have to be their mango. Tastes like real mangos!

 On Saturday, a bunch of friends and I got together to make sushi :) Some of the eggs we made looked like pancakes :o Funny story.. my friend was trying to flip the egg to the other side and it flipped right into the trash can xD

Round 2!

I went to NY on Sunday for the day. Left the house around 6AM and got back at 8PM.

 Bought some new earrings recently :) The pink ones were $1 for the pair and has that hypo-allergy plastic end and the other pair is a tiny one for $3 :) I used to have a tiny pink pair, but I think I lost one of them :\ But yeah they're so small! Might look big in the pic, but you can see how small it is compared to my finger.

 I want to learn how to make those net roses, so I bought some material :) Dunno if it's cheap compared to other places, but the net was only $1.50, wires $0.65 and green tape $1.25. I got these from the Elizabeth Center.

pa: A72 | Revlon: Ocean Breeze 320 | Not So Blueberry 370 | Provence 040

Got the Revlon from CVS since they were on sale for $4.79+$3 extrabucks each. The pa is from a store in the Elizabeth Center in NY. The store had a bunch, but since they're such tiny bottles (0.1 fl oz) and I've heard that they're quite sheer.. I only bought one just to have it. The store had a lot of them, but yeah.. This one was $5. Some of the other sparkly ones were like $6.50 or $8.00.

Nails for the week in Revlon Colorstay Provence. It was kinda thick so I was worried that it'd be streaky, but it didn't come out that bad. However, when I put the top coat on, the polish was like smudging again (got onto my top coat brush) even after a year of drying, so it's not because it's still wet.

Yesterday, I went to Yeh again :x More froyo for me! Ahh how I wish I could go there everyday or something :( Okay, maybe not but wish it was more convenient! Also tried their crepes. It didn't have that many fruits inside.. and I only had a bite so I thought it was okay.

Well that's all for last week!
