Happy New Year Everyone!

Apologises I'm a few hours late but my sentiments remain the same -wishing everyone a joyous, healthy and successful 2012!

Soloing in Hong Kong at the moment. Unfortunately I haven't taken any photos because:

~~my camera's shit and I'm embarassed about using it~~
~~I keep forgetting to take my camera out with me~~
~~I don't have a laptop to post from~~
~~I haven't found anything worth taking apart from the obligatory blog shots of random trees; well dressed strangers; sunsets and clouds~~
~~I feel like a loser taking photos of myself.~~
I'm lazy.

BUT.............

I promise that '12 will be different!!!!! Trust me.

I'm not usually a resolution maker but for the 295 readers this blog has had this year (I know, I can't believe it either), I promise to dedicate a lot more time posting, reviewing, posing, cross-dressing, and courting your visual senses for your enjoyment. I just want to make you happy.

Thank you for those 30 secs your spared me when you thought you had the web page you wanted but realised it was really because you had made a typo; thank you for not posting nasty comments even though you may have detested everything about me and thank you for making my day when I checked my stats to find that a person in Kazakhstan had viewed my blog.

Will be avoiding avian flu for the next few days. Have you read the news?

See you soon!

Hi Ya'll,

Apologises for going M.I.A on you all, I've truly missed you! (yes, really). Semester 2 and its cousins, assignments and exams, have made my last month a hellish experience, like all family experiences. Unfortunately, the worst has yet to come so I will be retreating back into study hibernation because I am the nerd I am. I will do my best to update you lovely people with snippets of my no life because I know you care about me. (PLEASE LOVE ME!!! SOMEBODY!!! ANYBODY!!!!!!!!)

Anyways, I had my 21st paartay last Saturday with the lovely Karmo whose a day older than me. I think the most exciting part was being able to use those red plastic cups all you American readers use in your frat parties. Yeah, I have high ambitions in life.

My beautiful friend Alice did a shout out to me on her blog. THANK YOU ALICE! She's a wizard in writing and her style is ridiculously unique. Check her out here.

Here's a photo from the night, just so I'm not such a terrible blogger.

Karmo as a Jukebox, me as Caesar

- red and white bed sheets. Scott Schuman worthy.

Talk to you soon!

Seoul

Hi friends,

Guess what? I went to Seoul.................................Ria

Quick lunch today at named restaurant. Too poor to fly out to sample directly from Korea I'm afraid however Seoul Ria did satisfy my kimchi kravings.

Oh yes, this bimbap did hit the spot.

And that's the extent of my review. Alright, it was much more than that. Yum Yum. Apologies peeps, I'm no good at reviewing food - I just eat it and my stomach does the appreciation.

Also, tried my hand at a bit of outfit posting today. Please excuse the unintentional smug look I have - I can't afford the surgery. Sorry. Don't laugh or I'll cry

Dress - $299HK (you do the conversion) at MUJI
Leggings - $10 at Cotton on

Melbourne

Hi Peeps,

Went to Melbourne last week with some other peeps and I've come to share with you what I reaped (REAPED ...jeez guys). Anyways, it was fun in a blurry sort of way and involved tram riding, 2 minute ramen and a fridge.

Wait

2011-06-30T06:28:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone,

You know that saying "Good things come to those who wait"? Yeah well, listen to what yo momma told you as this was certainly the case with this pair of sass & bide Hulsey shorts.

Long story short, been lusting over these since snakeskin was back 'in fashion' (were they ever out?) except with an original price tag of $220.00 I said hell to the no! Then a wonderful thing called a sale was born and they climbed down to $149.95 at David Jones' last week but I was like uh uh. So sass & bide advertised them at $90 on their website but I said go lower. So today, on the greatest-day-for-bargains mankind has ever know aka end of financial year sales, DJ's had them at $66. So I consented.

So boys and girls, like all good things in life, remember to wait.

Hi Guys,

I had anticipated a haul post on the goodies I would have managed to score from the end of financial year sales however it's unfortunate to say that they have been a tad disappointing. Limited sizes and soiled clothing? - sorry David Jones but I'm going to keep my hard earned monies.

Not to despair, however, I did managed to pick up a stained lip tint from Kit Cosmetics since I've been searching for a paraben free lip tint since forevaaa...

Now, if you have soft + moisturized + exfoliated lips (sadly none of which I possess); aren't too fussed about re-application after every meal/ drink or spending time building up colour - then this is the lip tint for you @$22.90!

So the search for a paraben-free lip tint (preferably under $20) continues- any ideas?

Jeffrey, oh Jeffrey your shoes are divine,
Salvatore and Skate, how I wish you were mine.
Its unfortunate that your shoes, although trendy, are so dear.
Taking me back a couple of hundred I fear.
Then at Rubi Shoes, just my luck
I came upon Clara, on sale for twenty bucks.
