Headphone, Lights, Book, Brownies, IU, Jeju Song

31st August, 2012 (10:00pm)

Hello people of the world!
It is currently 10pm in Australia.
Soon winter will turn into Spring.
And crazy ass cold winter will be gone followed by the blazing hot sun burning your skin to a crispy brown for summer. Seriously, I'm going to miss you winter. I'd rather be cold then hot. Just the thought gives me the shudders, Okay, you know how I lived in Carlingford a few years back. I loved it there. Peacful environment, lots of green space, no noisy neighbours, large house, backyard, and less people. But the only most horrible thing there was NO AIRCON!! You seriously would die, even though you had your blinds down and your fan was on full blast. The only wind was the humid breeze that gets blown around in your room. I'm sure most of you will disagree with me saying you hate winter instead of summer. It can be true. Right now, my house is freezing cold. I am snuggled in bed wearing at least 5 layers clothing and I can still feel my toes going numb. I am seriously, every morning I wake up it is literally 5 degrees. You can see your breath when you talk. I am not exaggerating.

Anyway I'm digressing aren't I?
Yeah, sorry about that.
Well, I wanted to write this post today because.. well just because I couldn't be bothered to go on with my studies for my prelims which happens to be 2 weeks later. I know I should be stressing, which I am... which will catch up to me somtime soon. Trust me. I really stressed out like last minute. I know, bad habit. I'm working on it.

Yeah, I guess.. Right! This post is going to be another book rave. This time, its a crime, mystery, romance novel. If you know me, I'm a sucker for crime and mystery, I normally dont read books with romance in them but this time it was amazing!. My friend recommended this book to me a couple of weeks ago when I asked him what he was doing. So, heres my review on the book 'Digital Fortress' by Dan Brown.

The main character Susan Fletcher is a brilliant, stunning mathematician who works at NSA, encrypting codes in this machine called the Translater(forgot how to spell it). Eventually, it leades up to a mysterious code that canno't be broken. The U.S government made this machine(translater) to help unlock mysteries and crimes around the country in which most rapists, murders use, without it there would be millions dead. Yet, the public doesn't know that every email and telephones are bugged straight to the government. With this mysterious code NSA is being held hostage by this code that is released by a Japanese cripple who believes that every man and women deserves privacy within their conversation to one another. Susan battles to save the agency that she belives in, getting betrayed by her country, her boss, and the for the man she loves dearly.

At every turn of the page there is a twist, exciting mystery that makes you stay on the edge of your seat. I haven't read anything like it before, I've always been stuck with the crime fiction novels but this one you get to actually think. I would rate this book 5 out of 5. When I'm reading a book I imagine it perfectly. What the character looks like, the setting, everything. This was a well set out book, it doesn't just let you figure out the ending easily, it requires you to think and try and solve it. I haven't had time to actually read it all the way through in one go because I was so busy. But between train rides going to school and coming home I was stuck on it. I almost missed my stop.... -_-. Enough with my blabbering on. You have got to read this book. It is amazing.



Next thing.... I got new headphones!!!
They were a surprise :)
My parents never get me anything, not even christmas or birthday presents.
But my mum chose this awesome headphones when she saw it online at a korean shop.
She bought it for me and I received it yesterday.
It is a Sony, white headphone. The brand is MDR-ZX100. The quality isn't horrible and the headphones aren't ugly. I've only own one headphone before this one and that was the Zumreed. I saw a similiar one in the music video 'Love girl' by CNBLUE and it looked pretty awesome. I found it in chinatown and bought it. Let me tell you... do not ever get Zumreed headphones. They might looks alright, but the quality is horrible. It broke after 3 days of use. The ear things were coming off, and the adjustable things keeps coming undone. But I still used it for 2 more months after that but it eventually broke. I'm not the type of person who throws things around, I take care of my things. So, its either because I got it from chinatown or that these products are bad. You get to pick. Anyways... heres a pic.


Btw I got new lights!! Now my room is white not yellow. I can see properly :)

Today I guess I felt like baking. So I went to ALDI and bought 'brownies' and 'banna bread' mixtures. It was really cheap about $3 each. Normally at Coles they are like $5-$10 each. So, I got it for a good price. I've never made brownies before, except the time my friend and I tried to. Which was pretty nice, not too bad. So I thought heck try it one more time. Now, my oven.. is a portable one that we got it from K-Mart for $35. So, we dont really know how to use it well, it much different to the ones at school so I'm working on it. Anyway, it turned out pretty good. The image might not looks too good but it tasted not too bad.


Awesome brownies and mums what I like to call 'garbage pizza'. It's not because it's disgusting its because she uses leftover ingredients. Like dumping it in and putting it in the microwave... like potato, corn, bacon, cheese, chilli, beetroot, tomato sauce(ketchup), barbecue sauce and lots of other random ingredients.

Oh! Did I tell you. I cut Sam's hair?
My dad was complaing that her hair went everywhere so I cut it, washed it. Tiring.. but it was worth it. She looks so cute now.

Strike a pose!!

HELLO!!
And I can't forget my favorite songs of the post :)
I have a lot... but I can't fit it all so I will list some down.
These are not in order.

1) JJ Project - Bounce
It so cute!! Has so many genres in this one song.
2) Beast - Beautiful Night
3) B.A.P- No Mercy
Love the little dance they do in the chrous when they sing 'No Mercy'
4) Nuest - Face
5) Boa- Only One
Love the chereography! Really want to learn these moves.
6) Justin Bieber- As long as you love me
7) Owl City- Good Time
8) IU - Nagging
9) Heartstrings OST - Because I miss you
Thinking about learning this song on guitar
10) Ed Sheeran - Lego House
11) Taylor Swift- We are never ever getting back together

But I guess these are my ultimate favorite songs at the moment :)


I randomly came across this song. Really adorable and relaxing.


My cousin and my friend loves IU. So I was searching her up and it came to this. The video is really adorable, very good plot about friendship and summer. Lyrics are strange but her voice is amazing. I keep replaying it..

Wow, its already 11:15pm. So tired, have to go to sleep.
Night World,

House, Drama, Haircut and Thai Food

8th August, 2012

Hola Mi Amigos..
It's been a while. Theres been a lot.. and i mean A LOT of work at school.
Well, I guess it makes sense as it is the last term of year 11. Getting old..
What next? Life is pretty complex.

Well, Did I tell you I moved?
From Epping to Bexley.
I always had to wake up at 5am in the morning and catch the train at 6.
The train took an hour or sometimes more to get to school.
Now I get to wake up at 6am and catch the train at 7.
It depends which train I take though :(
If I make it.. which is pretty rare it only takes 30mins.
But if I take another one it takes an hour..
All well.. its much closer now.
But its a house, a real dodgy one but a house is a house.

Oh, and this grandpa from Italy is renting our garage for his storage. He gets old stuff and fixes it, then sells it. Gave us a washing machine, refrigerator and a dryer. Its not 100% working.. some leaks.. and found lots of dead roaches but it works alright. But hey no complaining its free! He also gave me a bike. :)
When I first got it, everything was all rusted.. the handles are broken... and the brake isnt working.
But after scrubbing the rust off... and putting more air into the wheels.. put some spray thing on the chains it works pretty well for a really old bike. The only problem is the handles, bum seat and the brakes... mostly the brakes though.. you cant really stop.

Here's a pic:

I just finished watching 'Heartstrings' :D
Sooo good.
It's about this guy who doesnt care about anything except music.. like modern music.
And this girl whos happy, enthusiastic. learning a korean traditional instrument.
Lots of stuff go wrong.. and somehow they end up together when they start doing a musical together, both rock band and traditional. Really cute.
Some characters you really hate.. but in the end you grow to love them because they are actually really caring and sweet in the inside.. just doesnt want to show it.. and in the end... the ending is really good. It was kind of predictable but still really good.
You should go watch it .. on youtube.. hahah

Heartstrings

How adorable :3
Looks like a puppy.
He played as the drummer

Oh.... since Decemember when I went to Korea I got a haircut. Side fringe and a perm. Looked pretty good. So I decided to get it again in a hair shop in the city on Friday. -_-
Worst choice ever..
Not only was the haircut bad.. but expensive. Dare I say.. write it.
It was over my limit of $20.. yes it was double the price.
Plus the customer service.. no comment.
Here's a pic:


Hm.. What else?
Oh, these past few weeks we've been pracing a lot in Hospitality. Wanna see?
They're not wonderfully disgusting or amazing. But its alright.

Totally forgot the name of this..-_-
But it was delicious!!

Lasagna!!
Sooo yummy.
First time making it too today.


Oh, and on Friday night. After the haircut. My mum and I met up with some family friends to eat dinner in the city. If anyone comes.. go search up 'Siam House'. It's this delicious thai restuarant. Kind of pricey but its definitely worth it, even the interior deisgn is amazing.
TIP: If you order a main meal you get a free beer. They wont ask you if you want it. You have to ask first otherwise they wont give it to you.


Stupid Aussie Weather.
Cold yet Sunny


Sorry.. only one pic. Was too hungry. We ate A LOt!!
