I am not going to take advantage of all these freedom I've been longing for.

I am going to make use of EVERY SINGLE FREAKING DAY.

Each day should make up to a total of 1 point :D

Let us begin.

List A (Worth 1 point)

• Make an item of clothing
• Decorate your room
• Do something with lotsa effort.... (planting, sewing sumfin)
• Bake something

List B (Worth 0.5 points)

• Catch up with a friend
• Pardy
• Shopping
• Clean the house
• Eat somewhere cute

Rabble: Songs that remind you of a time in your life....

I hate it when songs come with memories. The song plays and no matter how long it's been, I still get the same feelings I get as the time that I heard that song.

Year 3, 2001: Mariah Carey - Always be my baby

My mum, the Asian drama queen rushed to Soph and I saying that she had no idea where my big sister was and suspected that she was kidnapped. Soph, my mum and I were all in a panic. I ran upstairs to my sister's room and this song was playing. My sister was at work the whole time.

Year 8, 2006: The Fray - How to save a life

A time in my life where all I thought about were boys and the wrong friends. It was a ridiculous feeling. I cared so much about what everyone thought about me. Everyone that was hurting me constantly had control over everything I did and how I felt. Silly Alice.

January 2011: Jason Derulo - Love Hangover

The time where I was going on a downwards spiral. And began my relationship with a boy I was kinda sure of...

May 2012. <can't remember the name of this song dammit> Something about Electric stuff..

I let too many random people into my life, ya'll staying for too long. Gedddoudddahere.

 June 2012: Wale ft. Miguel - Lotus Flower Bomb

This is still my favourite song to date...

After dinner, with someone, little did I know, would become such a big part of my life. Sitting in this room in dim lighting, it was weird, I finally felt like I had control over everything.... ha. Ya'll messin with my head.
I had this song on replay for the three hours before I went home and slept that night and three hours after I awoke.

July 2012: Usher - Climax (Kaskade remix)

The car that took us everywhere. My impulsive, (dangerous) and spontaneous trip the Melbourne. Going to a new city, meeting new people, seeing all sorts of places... Just luck, I guess. I learnt a lot of things this weekend.

September 2012: Kaskade - Lessons in love (Headhunterz remix)

To recap the whole event..... Just, fml. A week of self pity.

Millen O'clock

Went to pick up a package from Target, also picked myself up a bargain.

A clock for $4? Yes please. Here is some free advertisement for you, Target.

 Too damn excited.

Yerp.

Tsk

You looking kinda lonely there gorgeous.

It's okay. I got you covered. 

 Hi lil milz

Lil bit of blu tack... and....

That's better :') 

Lil glamour.

Oh milz

Milz at 5:43am deathstaring me from the corner of my bed.

He know's I'm doing all the wrong things. 

:(

The difference eyeliner makes

I was taking pictures for my post this morning.. Watch my eye shape change....

 Oh makeup, you are miraculous stuff.

What, ya'll didn't hear? I'm a mermaid. Hehe, pic from 2011!

The Art of Instagramming

It's not just me. You all do it. Specially arranging the items on your plate, fixing it up, just for a pretty picture on your Instagram timeline..

How I make photos look on Instagram when I eat:

How I actually eat it:

When I buy eggs...: Me, every weekend.

I absolutely love grocery shopping. Prancing around in the area on my lonesome, checking out the weekly deals at my own fast pace.

Having Uni, Mondays and Tuesdays and work, Wednesdays to Fridays leaves absolutely no time for me to do one of my favourite things in the world, simply roam around in my area whenever I want. Everytime I get back from Uni and work, the shops are just closing, so I only have to weekends to browse.

The morning of the start to every weekend, I set a list of things I am to purchase that day. They are to be the main reason why I'm walking out the door.

Every weekend, I end up coming home, armful of grocery bags, not buying anything on that list. 

What did I buy instead?

• Lighters
• Suction cup hooks
• Shallots
• Lettuce
• Grapefruits
• Apples
• Post-it notes
• Chocolate frosting
• Basic tees
• Socks
• Zucchinis
• Mushrooms
• A duster
• Garbage bags
• A can of tuna
• And... Minnie mouse ears. 

Every weekend I end up walking into my flat, unpacking my things, then realising that I've forgotten to purchase those items on the list.... And every weekend, I end up making a second trip to the grocers.

 Sigh Arsy, what to do with you.

*My new minnie mouse ears are heppy tho*

Rabble: It's all about the angle

I tweeted a picture of my new sheets the other day..

My room really isn't as neat as I make it look.

Annnnd turn 45 degrees to your right...

Sigh, typical Alice.

Sob story of the day: GG Phone Screen

Hi guys!

Sob story of the day.

Last weekend I dropped my phone, looked at the screen.. phew! Nothing happened. I jinxed it thinking that and it slipped out of my hands again.... Then the LCD stuffed up.

So yeah, I'm living off my old phone, the camera is gone which means no twitpicing every moment of my life!

 Illin' with my new glasses

Which I virtually tried on here.

Absolutely kicking back with so many readings and an assignment to complete by monday arvo. 

I am absolutely loving Uni life right now, can you tell?

Mr. Fed the Seal

When I was in year two, my Papa took our fam to Seaworld.

My sister Sophie and I both got a toy each.  I picked out a killer whale and my sis picked a dolphin.

I was sitting on the floor in our bedroom and my sister was sitting in her bed on the top bunk. We were both playing with our plush toys our Papa had purchased us yesterday and were thinking of names for it.

My sister named hers Sky. Since it was three letters and I, always copying her, named my killer whale Fed.

Fed the killer whale.

That toy is long gone though...

I went to Sydney Aquarium on my 19th birthday and picked out a cute little seal out of the bunch.

His name is Fed.

Fed the seal.

*scurries*

Fed is a little cutie

What have I achieved so far in the past 3 months... (Jan/2012)

Since I finished my course at tafe in October, I aimed to make the most out of the spare time I've had and do everything I dreamed of!

But progress has been super slow since I had trouble finding affordable items using scrap pieces around my room and buying off eBay...

So so far, I have learnt and achieved the following....

* The basic structure and creating the net for making plushies (post)

- I'm not very good at this still, once I sew the inside, I reverse it and it turns into a completely different shape! :( I don't think I'm looking to improve though... Making plushies are so boring compared to crocheting!

* Knitted a complete scarf! (Using size 10 knitting needles... It still counts!)

* Learnt how to crochet and do basic stitches and understood how it would effect my piece when I use these stitches (double, half, treble, increasing, decreasing and slipstitch)

* Made a dress for my new toy arsy (post)

* Posted my first D.I.Y for creating a plush and a Christmas card (here & here)

* I've semi-learnt how to put together jewelery *yay*... Haven't had much practice yet!
* How to start off a sewing machine- Threading, bobbin stuff and all that jazz.
*Learnt how to cook super duper simple Vietnamese dishes

Yay, I'm satisfied I think

I don't have a picture that relates to this post................
So, yeah....

This is Hello Kitty dressed as Melody.
I got her from a $1 capsule machine in Canada. Soph and I were obsessed with those things! They were unbelievably cheap and had the cutest toys!

Rabble: New Years Resolutions for 2012...

Hi!

I've come up with lists and lists of new years resolutions in the past which were unrealistic...

I guess this time I should be more detailed into what I should change or improve in!

Here are my last years new years reso's....

Obviously I had not followed a couple of those..

And I had not once read a book this whole year.. eh... unless Archie Comics counts?

For number 8, after chatting to my sister... I've realised that I have so long until I finish tafe & uni. I don't have to consider these parts... I've always been stressing about this when the things I can work as is so broad.

So for next year I decided that I'll grab a couple of those and not try to have 10 points. 

Just however many I think I can achieve... And definitely be more descriptive as to why and how I'll achieve it.

I should not have to wait for New Years to come around for me to want to make changes to my life,

I know. But I'm just like that...

New Years Resolution for 2012

1. Take better care of my body
Since I had turned 16, my big sister has always said "Your body is a temple. Treat it like one.".

I never really understood what she meant until now.... I am not taking this quote as a religious meaning. I have completely treated myself like shit.

I'm going to be living in this body forever and what I put in myself will affect me forever (And I mean developing habits wise...).

I plan to take better of my body by... 

* Drinking lots of water, lots in my definition will mean at least 2cups a day...  I am a lazy poo so I'll have to refill two little bottles daily to remind me of this.

* Exercise.. I can say this as much as I want but I won't do it. I will not go outside for a jog...I'm just lazy like that. So I'm going to have to develop some sort of routine to keep me going. I also plan on walking as much as I can! Hot weather is an exception to this... 

* Not consuming alcohol often (<5x/year) ... It's so so so so so so bad for you! And I always feel like complete shit afterwards. Alcohol can bring on so much bad things. I'd rather not take the risk.

2. Do not mind people who do not matter

I can't even put this into words right now without sounding like a sappy poo.

It's sad that it's taken me a year to take this in.. 

I shouldn't care for the remarks, opinions or advice of people who would not act out the same.  People can talk like they're king of the world to you, but once it's upon them, it's a different story.

Another point is that I should not make effort with people I should not expect it back from. No matter how lonely I get, I will never feel regret.
I need to stop taking other people's advice, since I'm the only one dealing with the consequences.

3. Make something new every week

Every year I feel incomplete... As if I had not fulfilled anything.

So I've decided that I will commence a new project every week. Projects would only be arts and crafts of course! I plan to make decorations, plushies, clothes, etc. 

These projects, depending on the difficulty would take up 1~3 hours of one day and would make me all cheery and happy once completed!

4. Learn to love and enjoy life more

This is quite a far step for me to reach... I'll have to be able to achieve all the points about first before being able to be happy or even content about myself and where I am now.

And that is my list of New Years Reso's for 2012!

Lets see how I go with this...

Rabble: The Best Thing About Photo Editors...

Hi!

Well what is the best thing about photo editors?

I can be anything and do anything I want!!!!

Hi guys... This is plain Jane Arsy here.

Now I'm a pirate! Gimme all yer gold.

 Now I'm on a beach chilllliiiiinnnn, slapped some sunscreen on and my new floppy pink hat... Just sipping away at my sparkling water and kicking back with a slice o' watermelon.

Summer Sucks!

Millenium and I have always hated hot sticky weather........

No no no no no thank you...

When it's cold, you can make everything better by layering some cute little fluffy jumpers all over you and chuck on those little comfy booties.... But when it's hot you can't do anything at all :( Just lay there in sweat waiting until the sun goes back to sleep.

We've made little scarves to scare away the sun and all it's misery it had brought us during these months each year.

And we like to pose the same with our scarves..............

We are sure not eager for these upcoming months :(

Well, it's Xmas Eve guys.......................

And yes. I'm sitting at home posing with Milz.

Party.

Rabble: Granny Arsy

Hi,

I'm 19 today.

Happy birthday....

to me.

Rabble: Millenium?

Who is Millenium?

What is this pink bear doing lingering around in so many of Alice's posts?

What is his importance!!!!!!!!!!?

I received Millenium as a Christmas present from my Aunt Nancy when I was 9 years old.

I can honestly say that I don't remember much from before I was 9 years old. The only memory I have from when I was a child was living in this great big (it seemed massive when I was small.. until I google-mapped it) house in Canada that myself, my sisters, my uncle, aunties and grandparents shared.

It felt like the longest year I've ever lived in my entire life. So many events happened in that one year.

It felt like I had been living there for so long...

I've had Millenium for half my life.

My sister and cousin are about the same age as I am and we had received similiar boxes for each of us to unveil for Christmas.

I remember opening the lid of that red holographic box with the pretty curled ribbons, uncovering the pink soft toy and emerging him out of the box. 

He was the cutest toy I had ever seen, touched and felt.

He turns 11 this month on the 25th, he was born on the new millennium of 2000.

It never occured to me until two weeks ago when I typed 'Millenium' and a squiggly red line came under it that I realised that I had been spelling 'Millenium' wrong this entire time.

Millenium is a TY.

My sister also has Princess, who is also a TY who was named after Princess Diana.

My cousin has Teddy, who is also a TY. And I don't know why he's special....

Mine is the scraggliest of them all, ever since I was 9, besides long trips and camps... Millenium has never left my side!

Don't you have something important to you, like a piece of jewellery or photo album for example that means so much to you?

That's exactly what Millenium means to me.

Milz and I in our days in the spotlight :')

I was in the middle of saying no autographs please!

Since I was younger and as I was growing up, whenever I felt down, I had always held Millenium for comfort. I always thought that in his beady little black and red lined eyes he was consoling me through every pain I felt and every change I went through, he was watching everything that happened throughout my life.

He's the most adorable toy I've ever come into contact with in my life :')...

And he's all mine ☺.

Rabble: Seize the day!

Hiiii!
I finish Human Resources Cert IV at TAFE tomorrow!

After that I'll have a few months break until I take on my next course... (Diploma in HR)

I don't want this break to pass by as quick as all my other ones have...!

Then when it comes back to studying I'll get so disappointed feeling like I haven't done anything resourceful (in my terms)...

So by the time I began my next course, I must have created and completed the following...

* Make finger puppets
* Make a gingerbread house matched with a little ginger bread family
* Make chocolate chip cookies
* Make a laptop sleeve
* Make a little pocket for tissues
* Make a laptop case
* Find a hard cover book
* Decorate a book!
* Make a lap table
* Make cute hair clips
* Master zebra nail art
* Try out half moon nails
* Decorate my room with hanging things
* Cut out my cat calender
* (Buy a sturdy brush and) Clean my shoes
* Look for plastic (in every nook and cranny of every house I walk into!)
* Make coasters!
* Make sugar cookies!
* Make rice bubbles
* Find the perfect balance of lemon iced tea
* Make piggies in a blanket (If my pops isn't home :x)
* Try out face masks!
* Obtain some trophies from Neopets
* Do some felt crafts... Fortune cookies!
* Make a star
* Make a box
* Make flower buttons (for lots of stuff)
* Gather/list all the goodies I've bought off eBay

I can't really think of what else I should do at the moment...

See, this is why I need a notebook!!!!!

Adding another picture just to make this post look more interesting....

Miaaaoooow.

Learn to become better, not bitter.

Hi!

So here's the first (2nd?) real post on this blog...

I decided to dedicate this blog solely for documenting my life... Weekly!

I don't think anyone would care on my other blog and I think it'd be pretty annoying to them if they didn't want to see it.

Well I got a new camera last week but I already lost the charger! Boo hoo :(

I got a Canon Powershot s95 btw. Check out my post here if you're interested in it!

I'm really sad. But let's just skim over pics I've taken during her lifetime :')

The first picture she has ever taken.

Millenium says Hello to our new family member

Playing with the camera settings

Taking pictures of gorgeous sandwiches (hell yes sandwiches can be attractive!)

Tuna + Mayo + Mustard 

 Scrambled eggs + Mayo + Mustard + Lettuce

 Yum Cha @ Thanh Tam (Overcooked and waay overpriced)

 Another variation of my classic egg sandwich, just with added pickles!

 Meeting my neighbour's cat

 Goodies I got from tafe along with freshly painted nails!

 Colourful tabs to help me in my open book exam

 One of my dads delicious dishes! Bon bo hue

And that's the end to my picture spam.

Thank you to my 394839849203849 readers for viewing and I hope you have a wonderful day/night where ever part of this little planet you're on :')
