Hey! Okay, I've started to really enjoy doing these tags! haha It's a great way for your guys to know more about me as well. It's a win-win situation. You should all say what you'd rather to the questions below as well! :)

Would you rather...
1. Walk around all day with your skirt tucked in your underwear or be seen wearing a see through dress?
*Both of these are so embarrassing! Like I'll be embarrassed either way but I'd rather have my skirt tucked into my underwear because then the top half of my body won't be shown haha. Less nakedness I guess!

2. Go to a party and not realize until the end of the night that you have lipstick on your teeth or that your fake lashes are coming unglued?
* I'd rather have lipstick on my teeth because less people would see the lipstick anyways, especially with my braces covering pretty much most of my teeth. Whereas with fake lashes coming off, it'd be more embarrassing because everyone that looks at you would most likely notice it.

3. Forget to put mascara on one eye or forget blush on one side of your face?
*I would rather forget blush on one side of my face because my face/cheeks naturally goes pinkish red so people probably won't be able to notice that I only have blush on one side.

4. Wear lipstick/lipliner combo or frosty blue eyeshadow?
*I'd rather lipstick/lipliner combo because I don't think I'll be able to pull off having blue eyeshadow.

5. Wear foundation that is two shades too light or go way overboard on bronzer?
*I'd rather have foundation two shades lighter because I can apply it on my neck to even it out a bit.

6. Drink an entire bottle of ketchup or run into the guy who broke your heart on a bad hair day when your skin is freaking out?
*I'd probably rather run into the guy who broke my heart (who is no one right now hahah) because since we're not going out anymore (hypothetically), I won't care what I look like in front of him.

7. Be able to date any celeb you wanted or wake up with perfect red carpet-worthy hair?
*DATE ANY CELEB FOR SURE hahahah So many celebs in mind ;D I'm not that bothered with my hair because tying it up in a bun or french braid is good enough.

8. Have your armpits smell musky or like delicious lasagna?
*Hahahahah this has got to be one of the weirdest but not too bad questions ever! I'd like my armpits to smell like lasagna so I'll have a natural fragrance of lasagna without the need of deodorant.

9. Give up your makeup or cell phone for one year?
*I'll give up my cell phone because I mainly just use my phone for games which isn't exactly the most important thing haha. It's not that I wear a heap of make up but don't you guys just feel more confident with a little bit of foundation on? I know, I know, it's bad to feel like you always need to wear make up whenever you leave the house and I know for a fact that no one really looks at your skin. (Well I never look at other people's skin so I don't notice the tiny flaws that we, ourselves, would see in the mirror.)

Have fun answering the questions! :)

Hey guys! So sometimes, I have these really crazy and weird dreams so I thought I'd share one with you. As soon as I woke up, I wrote down what I remember from the dream so I'm typing out the dream the way my sleepy self wrote it down.


Jennifer Lawrence arrives from the airport. My family and I are on a trip and there was a convention event that Jennifer Lawrence was at. She was there giving away free stuff. (The things that I remember were a towel and balloons.) I grabbed them all then left the goody bag on the table and left to see other things. When it was nearly time to leave, I go back to the table and my goody bag was gone. I was furious and was searching around, looking at everyone's bags to see who stole mine.

My family and I were at a hotel room. There were only two king beds available until we realised there was another area that was part of our hotel room. It was really dark but my mum, dad and I went to the beach with a large flashlight. (The hotel was right by a beach, we could see it from our room.) We played in the water with two oars each, while one person held onto the flashlight. We went back to the hotel and slept. The next day, Yvonne and I met Jennifer Lawrence. SHe told us how she was wondering who put the goody bag on her table. I was nervous but asked her if she could sign my pyjamas (because it was still early I guess) and she did sign it. After a while, the signature rubbed off though.


That's the end of my dream hahah such a random ending. The entire dream is so weird but I love writing down dreams so that when I look back at it, I'm just like what the...! hahah I think I'm going to start a dream journal soon because it's always fun to remember what dreams you've been having. As I was typing my dream up, I could actually visualize my dream!

Hey guys! So if you read my blog post a few days earlier regarding an excellence award, then you would have known that I went to the prize giving a few nights ago. It wasn't as boring as I thought but it didn't feel like much really happened and I could tell that the teachers that were sitting on stage were as bored as hell. There was even a male teacher just looking at their nails! hahah

So let me begin by telling you about when I first got to school. As I arrived to the classroom that we're all supposed to meet up at, there was already quite a large group of people there. I wasn't late and wasn't the last one to arrive but there was probably over half of the people there already. I'm glad I instantly saw my friend when I went into the room so I didn't have to look like a little lost puppy. Not long after I arrived, we all lined up and had our uniform checked because we had to be in correct uniform and also we had a roll call to check who's here or not.

The event didn't start until around 7pm because everyone was still being seated and teachers were probably preparing and whatnot.

After probably an hour later, most of the juniors (year 7-10) have received their awards and it's the seniors (year 11-13) time to receive theirs. Which means that I was almost going to be called up on stage to receive my award. I was so nervous and my mind was pretty much just blank at the time. I think one major thing that I thought about was not tripping up and making sure that I smile on stage haha.

After receiving my award, they gave out more awards and also told us who the head girl, boy and deputy girl, boy are.

They had a professional photographer take photos of everyone receiving their awards and made them available for everyone on a website. So here's a photo of me and a bunch of other students that received a certificate as well.


Overall, the night was alright. Not too interesting when they're calling out everybody to receive the awards but I wasn't really bored which is good haha!

Hey guys! So if you read my blog regularly, you would've read that I went to a restaurant for my birthday dinner. It was a restaurant called Chaits Tapa and Bar. It is an indian restaurant where you can buy the original mains like butter chicken. I have never been to the restaurant before yesterday. I always enjoy trying out new restaurants because why stick to just one when you can experience so many more!

My first thought of the restaurant is that it is quite small with not the largest dining space. It's not like it was too small and we were all crammed together, but there aren't a lot of tables available. The decoration is quite nice because they have fairy lights up. They don't have any special decoration relating to Indian cuisine I think. Well I didn't see any.

Before the food arrived, the waitress came over to our table with a beautiful drink. It was only orange juice, nothing too fancy but it was good. It looked really nice as well.

Taking the first sip

I ordered a Himalayan chicken which includes rice, naan, salad and poppadom.
As you can see from the image above, the salad is very small. There's one poppadom and three or four pieces of naan bread. It allows you to refill the curry but not the rice or other things. Normally restaurants allow people to get more rice instead of getting more meat. This is quite a good deal but it'd be even more amazing if they gave you more rice haha because you can normally eat a lot of the rice because of the sauce.

My meal cost me $18 which is quite expensive considering that some other Indian restaurants around my area does special deals of having a main cost $10 with unlimited rice but not unlimited meat. If this meal costed me a few dollars less, I'll give it more stars because in my opinion, it's a bit overpriced even though it includes naan bread and a poppadom.

I rate Chaits Tapa and Bar a ★★★/★★★★★

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! haha I turned 17 yesterday! Wow, where has my childhood gone? My old innocent little self has now matured. I'm nearly an adult!? Say what! Like honestly, the past few years are just like a major blur. Not that I don't remember anything, but it has just gone so quick! I still remember celebrating my 10th birthday and that didn't seem like that long ago.

So here's how my day went:
I woke up at 7am with a sudden burst of energy. Like I wasn't even sleepy when I first opened my eyes! That has got to be a first haha I pretty much jumped out of bed because I was not tired at all.

From 9-12pm, my mum and I went to our local shopping mall to buy groceries and just see what goodies are on sale. I ended up buying two long sleeve, plain shirts for $8. It was originally $5 each but Jay Jay's always has this special mate rate deal on where if you buy two things, the price would be cheaper than just buying one. The price depends on the item you choose and how much the item originally is. I'm glad I bought the shirts because they're pretty thin so it wouldn't get too hot if I wore it during the Summer time. We also bought a black forest gateau which is delicious! My mum also bought me the game Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts.

Once we got home, it was 12pm and I made mini pizzas using pita bread and having the typical pizza toppings of pepperoni, lots of cheese and sun dried tomatoes. It was so good! I haven't had pizza in ages.After eating, I started playing Banjo-Kazooie but I only had time to play one of the mini games because it was already close to 4pm which meant that I had to start getting ready because my friend would be over at 5pm.

When it was 5.30pm, my friend and I began to walk to the restaurant. The restaurant is only 15 minutes away and it's still bright nowadays due to day light savings. By the time it was 6pm, we were all seated in the restaurant. There was only 5 people (including me) at dinner which was actually really nice because it was easier to just all talk as a group. We placed our orders (I'll talk more about the restaurant in a review which I will post up soon hopefully.) and we were all just goofing around, taking photos, then suddenly the waitress comes to our table holding a fancy looking drink. I didn't even think about anything at all and then she said that it's for the birthday girl! Aww, that was honestly so sweet! haha I wasn't even expecting it. The drink was just orange juice but it had two layers with red at the bottom and orange at the top.

Excited to eat!

7.30pm was around the time when we finished our dinner and walked out. Man, I was freezing! haha it was still bright outside but the sun was setting and it was windy so we were cold. Before heading back home, we all went to this playground that is really close to the restaurant and just swung on the swings haha! I love swings! You can never get sick of swinging on swings and I always get that adrenaline rush when I go really high up! I was so cold because I forgot to bring a stupid cardigan or jacket or something to keep me warm!

After the playground, we went back to mine just pretty much just played some Raving Rabbids, watched quite a few episodes of Gilmore Girls and sleep. hahah I was so exhausted after the day but we stayed up until 5am, watching Gilmore Girls.

That was my whole day yesterday! :)

Hey! Who here loves watching The Carrie Diaries as much as me? I can't get enough of Kydshaw! They're just the cutest couple even though there's usually some problems with the relationship. I love all the actors in it. Like none of the actors and characters annoy me at all! You know how sometimes there's just that one really irritating actor or character that just puts you off from watching the show? Well The Carrie Diaries is perfect because I can't think of any annoying thing about them! If you have something that you found irritating about them, please don't tell me, because then I'll start to realize it and won't be able to watch the show the same way haha!

Let's start with talking about the main characters in the show:
The main cast is Carrie Bradshaw and Sebastian. Of course there some other characters like Maggie, Walt, Mouse, and Donna LaDonna but I won't talk much detail about them.

Carrie Bradshaw, played by AnnaSophia Robb. She is such an amazing actress! I haven't seen many of her films/shows. I'm pretty sure that the last film I saw of her was Bridge to Terabithia which is always such a good movie. She's such a tom boy in that film so it might be surprising to some people that she's playing a really feminine role for The Carrie Diaries. I can't imagine another person to play the role of Carrie Bradshaw.

Sebastian Kydd, played by Austin Butler. He is so flippin good looking haha Vanessa Hudgen's is one lucky girl! Austin Butler honestly does seem like Sebastian Kydd.

I'm reading The Carrie Diaries book now and I'm nearly half way through the book! In the book, there a few more characters like Lali (cop's daughter, sounds like Maggie's family/life).

If you guys haven't seen the show or read the book, you definitely should! Tell me your thoughts on the show/book :)


Love,
Elaine
