MERRY CHRISTMAS GUYS!

I had a wonderful christmas over at Matt's uncle's house. the weather was absolutely gorgeous. and sitting in their fake grass was the shizzle. Matt obtained a tan!

The lunch that was whipped  up was pretty darn tasty. those cheese cauliflower bakes... and that ham from some exotic place... and that punch. also. giant cherries that i only got to eat one of cause they weren't mine. :(

also we got nice presents! I am happy.

I recieved:

Bordello teeze shoes (refer to one of previous posts) HOORAY courtesy of mattt

paramore tickets for next year in february, from my mom

body lotion and shower gel and hand cream and britney spears perfume ( i'mma gonna smell like britbrit from now on)from neil and jan

B&W filw (eyebrows), incense sticks and nail lacquer from brad and kate

matt rocks though

what. up. we finished the whole season 3 of how i met your mother in 2 days. it was pretty awesome. barney, or should i say Lorenzo von Matterhorn is legen, wait for it, dary.

no photos yet because i'm using neil and jan's interwebz  and their uploads count as downloadz. :(

lack of posts are due to me working on a new blog. i want to start the new year with new everythin! but for the sake of updates, and for me to get into a habit of posting regularly, here's what i've been doing i;ve fininshed half of my first batch of eyeshadows. i couldnt continue cause i didnt bring enough jars along with me to matts house. i am bummed. but.. i printed out everything else that should be in the pack-thingamabub. went partial christmas shopping today. still have 1 person to buy for. past few days, been battling with CSS. its so difficult :( and tonight, i think sam is cooking carbonara.

Apparently sometime in the near future, we'd be able to get curly, or straight hair, with a pill. NO MOAR CURLERS AND HAIR STRAIGHTENERS. it sounds pretty good to me..

except. if i were to use it... my hair is gonna take forever to become curly because it works by changing the shape of the hair follicle because the hair grows in the shape of it. i.e curly follicle = curly hair. straight follicle = straight hair.

so for me to have curly hair for a day, i;d have to wait a gazillion years. im pretty sure if i never cut my hair from the day of birth, the longest strand would be up to my butt because the rate at which my hair grows is non existant.

also what if you wanted to get half curly hair and half straight hair...



i actually had some other hair style in mind but i couldnt find a photo of it. oh well.

this invention prolly woulndnt come out for the next 5 years anyway.

Semi productive day today.

its pretty amazing what kind of babies your mind + bordem can produce.

bought some stuff that i needed to carry on my life (not really) and tried to renew my passport but realised i had to make an appointment for EARLY IN THE MORNING :( i wish i were a morning person.

anyway, went to astra, and i got a pretty rainbow candycane

PLUS i found a suitably sized mortar and pestle at the 2 dollar shop for $5.50! (ironinc i know) GO ME!... and some other junk.




Matts back in b-town so i'm actually not getting to see him until saturday (i think)


( Somewhat of a pictorial update.. )

Im gonna build an empire.

my everyday glasses broke last night RARRARA :( so 2 of my pairs are currently injured. good thing i have one sapre pair left.

but i need to fix the other two asap cause 1. i miss one of them 2. just in case.

so... does anybody know how to reattach arcylic together with mininal evidence? and also, metal on metal.

( Photos here! )

Okay so.. well the semester results are out 4 Credits for everything. Formulation, pharmacology, product development and molecular biology.

Its pretty depressing because i could've sworn i did better than that considering i knew most of the answers. also because a whole bunch of answers were from past year papers. how could i not have gotten higher? grr.

i will never ever tell any one my exams went well ever again. :( i always get shit grades when i say my exams went better than expected.

sigh. how depressing.

so my attempt number 1 of secret project: eyeshadows was dismal. the colours werent rubbing off as pigmented as i wanted them to be.

so i orded some eyeshadow base. eventually, i think i would like to make my own eyeshadow base so its more wanda-ified.

also.. the pigments smell funky. i need to find a way to make them smell good.

Rough edit. its really really rough. it think it was my first take. hence everything else being perfect and female vocals being retartded. putting up for critique!

i dont like the tone of my voice everything else is relativly okay-ish.

I knew it was gonna be difficult finding a mortar and pestle now a days.. luckily my g ma has everything in her kitchen so she lent me hers. she saves the day :D

welll.. i didnt get the job at pandora that i went for an interview for. it was quite a bummer. i was hoping i would get it.

maybe eventually my resume will get noticed in the multitude of resumes in all the various shops i've applied in. somehow.



the moon in the daytime. my g dad spotted this while chillin out on the verandahh

Christmas gift post no. 1



Bordello TEEZE heels in US size 7 PLEASEEEE

My g ma was telling me about the drug that she recently got onto for a suspected pinched nerve. I felt so achieved when I could predict what the side effects were.

I could tell that it could be a glutamate antagonist or a GABA agonist. A quick wiki search told me that it was a GABA analogue which and it could also decrease the amount to glutamate release by increasing the activity of glutamic acid decarboxylase which converts glutamate to GABA.

it helps with a pinched nerve because it suppresses the excitatory nerve transmission that transmit pain.

so, this drug would cause a decrease in glutamate, and this would cause depression or suicidal thoughts, which my grandma told me after finding the right words, but i could tell her that.

I can also tell her that it may cause memory loss, hallucinations and possibly impaired cognitive function( so it is dangerous if she drives a car) if she takes enough of it or if she takes it with other pain killers of sleeping pills like oxycontin or lorezepam.

also, according to wikipedia, it was originally marketed as a drug for neuropatheic pain, seizure and anxiety but recently it has be marketed in treatment of fibromyalgia and spinal cord injury. and this is a good example of a market developmental opportunity in terms of product development where there is an existing product and a new market.


WOO. i actually feel like the stuff that i learnt in uni is actually coming to use. of my 13 years of studying I've never applied so much of what i've learnt in real life.

PHARMACOLOGY AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT FTWWWWWWW

but i know its boring to read because it so science-y.

so what does this tell you kids? being good at science is not gonna make your blog popular. sorry buddy.

I helped clean up Matts kitchen and was really into it until i realised the cleaner that i was using wasnt meant for wood surfaces. And there i was pouring copious amount of the chemical onto a plastic scourer and scrubbing the wooden cupboards. There was so much grease that had accumulated on the panels I only concentrated on the bottom bit of the cupboard. and then i gave up.

things to buy for when matt's new room mates come in
1. garfield wall clock - they type that has a wagging tail and moving eyes for extra creepiness to keep the criminals away. aha.
2. some cutlery like these.



3. some nice art. HA. i'll blow my photos up. kidding.
4, DJ hero. or sing star I WANT TO CHOOSE.
5. clean HAUS.


also i finally watched transformers 2. it was pretty good. and it went on for a pretty long time.but i enjoyed it. it was a lot funnier than the first one i reckon.

went job hunting today at chadstone.

there were quite a lot of places looking for christmas casuals. i hope i can get a job. I probabably should start applying for a passport as well.

Matt and I are possibly going to Singgers in Febuary next year. i think it would be nice, except the weather isnt gonna change as far as how it rates in my books. gonna be crazy hot+glaring sun to warm +sticky. not so much difference there. i rate them both about... a -4 out of 10, with 10 being the best.

also i settled a number of ebay stuff. hopefully that clears soon.

AND i can also start on my secret project! mwahahaha

Matt bought a dress today and its so beautiful :D:D:D:D :D

Its only november and it feels like im gonna melt in the night time. amazing. I am not looking forward to more heat.  i shant complain about weather being cold ever again. i think spring and autum should be all year round. mmmm

anyway, its the end of my finals. REJOICE. 

i think i need to plan out my holidays because i know i will waste it.

firstly, tomorrow, its off to Astra! then go home and possibly clean up my slighlty filthy room. and the bathroom. then play the sims. and then.... play with make up. mmmm sounds pretty good i reckon.



On the Yarra river on a winters night. Oh melbourne + ghost Wanda. :D

The weather is becoming increasingly warm today and i dread to think what it would be like in summer. Walking from the bus-stop to clayton station today was a massive strain on my retina becase the sunlight was so glaring. i think i need to learn how to use sunglasses more. hmm.

a little birdy also told me that it will be 40 degrees on wednesday. WHAT.:(  i think Matt should invest moeny in an air conditioner.

So today is the 3rd day of exams and wednesday is last. HOORAY. i cannot wait.

so many plans so little time.


i think i shall start a company selling extra time..

So i have always followed this girl who owns her own cosmetic company called LimeCrime and shes pretty popular on the interwebs, and just recently i decided that she should be my idol and someone I aspired to be like. She's come a long way from being a chick who does outrageous make up tutorials.



However, there has been some contraversey of her just buying MICA powders that are already premade in wholesale, repackages them and sells them at a much higher price in her muchly publicated blog/webazine/whatever.  Some people say she is, while she says shes not.

Well either way, it affects me because... that was how i wanted to start. I thought that i would be able to make a small hobby thing about blending my own colours from wholesale pigments that were available online...and then brach out from ther etc etc (for those of you who dont already know I'd like to manufature/formulate my own cosmetics) but apparently its taboo to do that. Im too slow. too many people are thinking along the same lines as me. :( DOES THIS MAKE ME LAME?!?!? :(:(:(:(


so now i have to find another way to be unique and NOT taboo and actually make my own stuff from scratch and not premade mineral powders. But then again, mineral powders on sale are pretty much the pure thing + some other fillers + other excipients. so, honestly speaking eyeshadows and other mineral make up are pretty darn easy to make by yourself.

About the whole LimeCrime controversy thing, i dont think its that terribly wrong to repackage and hone on packaging and branding even though the stuff is kinda still the same etc etc cause really, it's just a business opportunity. Shes just a really good business woman (as compared to a cosmetic formulator) with an eye for colour. This whole repackaging business probably goes on in the clothing industry as well. The shops in melbourne selling clothes imported from China jack their prices up really high, the fancier the shop, the higher the prices (USUALLY) I guess you could say that is pretty hard to find clothes or 'asian' styles blah blah in australia.

Xenia (chick who owns lime crime) is probably more susceptible to all this hating because people who buy mineral make up are internet/youtube geeks who have nothing else to do except do make up tutorials or product reviews. and they probably want to make their own make up as well but arent as business minded as her. Obviously, its pretty bad for the company if they get found out that they repackage or mark up the prices much higher than they already are.

also please take note, that im not even sure if she DOES repackage.

I cannot wait for the holidays to start. Im so excited about starting new/continuing old projects. hopefully i finish them all. now i'm just chilling in anticipation for tomorrow. then monday, then wednesday and then HOORAY.

i also need models because i need to practise my photography.. lest nadiah surpasses me... which i think she has already.

For my diligent 15+ friends(some of which dont even use LJ any more..) + lurkers . *beady eyes*

AM I FUNNY???

1. HELL YEAH
2. NO. SORRY
3. uhm.............
4. Go leech on someone else you whimpy barnacle.

post answer below.

i expect more than 3 people... or else i offically have no friends :(

So tomorrow is the 2nd exam out of 4. after that, two more within a 3 day period and its job time for me.

product development is the best subject around. it teaches you good values and every thing! i feel like i've grown. aha
