High Tea with Mum (:

it was soooooooo good (:  i've never been inside the Tea Room, except it was sooo pretty (: one of my dreams of having high tea at the QVB has come true!!! ((((((:

you can't share, which sucks, so each person has to pay for something, and they put two person's food on one stand. the stand itself didn't look like much, but after we finished, we were soooo full. if you go with three people, they put it all on one stand, except the stand is fatter, so it isn't as pretty...

i had chai tea. it smelt soooo nice. i love their tea because it isn't bitter. i don't like tea bags since they are really bitter. my mum had rose tea and it smelt lovely (they didn't have cherry tea so mum was ): ) yum.....i can still taste the tea and spice in my mouth....

and i had my first professional macaron. it was pistachio flavoured and you get bursts of the nut in tiny bites. yumyumyumyumyum. that was my fifth macaron. the four before were all homemade.

everyone sits there for more than 1.5 hours, so that is a reason why high tea is expensive, because it's slow, and money comes in closer. there were quite a lot of people though. actually, mainly women, and occasionally an old husband. i saw 2 young husbands, and only 1 boy, and 1 uni guy. yeah, everyone else there was female lolololol.

people who don't finish their food-it's such a waste. i would totes grab it off their stand, but obviously it's not right to.....had soo much tea.

the cheese smelt so nice, and everything was good. yeah, it was worth the money, it didn't look like it at first, but when you think about it, a macaron is $2.50, a scone is $3.50, tea is $6.5, yeah it all adds up (: the scone is deceiving. it looks really light, but when you pick it up, it's quite

i wanted a window table, but then we realised the tables there were smaller and couldn't spread stuff out, and were sunnier....

yumyumyum

my camera was sticky after =/

and seriously, i went towers this morning and yesterday and city today, and over 20 stores in total, and formal dresses are sooooooo expensive. i couldn't even find lisa ho today in the city. and myer's dresses aren't even that nice. there are so little discounts compared to last year and stocktake sale....and they weren't even nice.
and i bought my formal dress today, and it was a bit over budget. i'm really picky. i usually buy branded formal dresses, but branded dresses don't look that nice/ are 1000$, and you can't even see the brand....it's quite plain though.....and then i went to another store and found a dress that i would have bought since it was cheaper, even though that dress wasn't on sale....it was peach though, i don't even know if peach matches me...i have to get over the fact the not all branded dresses are nice...

so mixed feelings...maybe i should have just gotten the cheaper dress even though it wasn't on discount...except i have seen 5+ people on fb with that dress, just in different colours.. but if i gain weight during HSC period, then i am really screwed. so i should start losing weight after January....
i wanted a unique dress, except i've been looking for 2 days straight, over 20 stores, so i guess i just bought it since i know i won't have any other time.....
unique dresses are expensive. like bridesmaid dresses are nice and for formals, but it's enough for me to go hk....

but i'm happy

except i haven't done any work for three days...

this year has passed soooooooo fast (i think i am abusing "so") as in, the fastest year of my life, so far...
good year though (i think...)

i'm soo glad i don't watch trailers before the movie, because it spoils it. like mission:impossible, when the explosion happens, it's better not to know than watch the trailer and know.
2 nights, 2 movies

Puss in Boots was really good as well (: he's so ngawwwww (: and i liked their story line (: with other childhood characters. it was a tad awkward watching with little kids and their parents

looked at soo many dresses today. some weren't even nice and were expensive =/
there was this one dress that fit nicely and was ok, except it was hot pink =/

and i bought a ghd case today!!! it was cheaper in store than online, for once....
and what happened to Lisa Ho at towers? i think it closed down...
and i bought a formal dress today, which was more than 50% discounted (: i'm soo glad i didn't buy much yesterday so i could use that money to buy a dress (:
yayay, dresses, i shall keep looking out for them...

and i have done no work in the last 2 days, and also i know no work will be done in the coming 3 days. and 4 days next week.

had KFC again today, soo fat ):
i'm soo sad that the boost outside Event computer didn't work ): i didn't get my point )))))))))))))):

and just realised something bad about having 3G...fuarrr, why didn't 3 tell me it needed internet, i thought it was free...
i am 100% glad i have free internet now since if i accidentally used something, it won't cost my parents $2/mb....
first time going over in a phone cap, and it wasn't even talking on the phone adfghjkl. yes, and i am glad i didn't buy much yesterday, so i could use my shopping money to pay the phone bills :'((((((((( oh wells, i guess having a 19cap is good, because everyone else is on a 29cap and each month they pay 10 more than me, so in the three months, they pay 30 more than me, so it kind of makes up for my accidentally used data.......?

so that's why they changed the movie from 6.50 to 7 and changed it from cinema 6 to vmax.

because Mission:Impossible Ghost Protocol was SOOOOOOO GOOOOD =D like sherlock holmes good (: and there were quite a lot of people, but it wasn't noisy (: Benjit is soo funny (:
and they ALL HAVE IPHONES/IPADS!!!! yayayayay

i remember when vmax first came out, is was only a dollar extra, now it's 3, but it was worth it since they did the sounds pretty good and the movie had good sounds.

i love good intense movies with humour and cool gadgets (:

and i wish i was taller so i can buy pretty, long, cheap, branded formal dresses.....
everything i saw today at DFO either didn't fit me/ none of my size, so i didn't buy much...

didn't go boxing day sales this year, because i woke up past 11....
i remember last year i went, it was super duper crowded, with people fighting over stuff. like in Guess, people were literally fighting over handbags, and Guess isn't on of those "more expensive" branded stuff...
and last year, the day after boxing day, i saw at towers that they had the same stuff on sale, just not as much...

so i didn't do anything today except eat. and i had KFC! haven't had it in soooo long....

and the part just under my shoulders hurt, must be the impact from hitting the water yday...

and we have enough chocolate to last us the whole year, which means, if we don't share it to other people, then we have to chuck some out since we get heapsss of chocolate during easter as well...

and ayayayay! new plan starts today. free facebook and internet! my iPhone can actually act like an iPhone now. as well as news and weather (which is not on voda, so i am still sticking with 3 because i like my news, even though we order the newspaper....)

and a few days ago, i realised that Maps on doesn't need internet, how convenient (: and also, i was just introduced to Viber, i am so slow, EVERYONE GET IT SO I CAN CALL/TEXT YOU FOR FREE (:
but i have heaps of credit (well for me its plenty...) so you don't really need to get viber....

and i just saw photos of relatives in hk and their xmas party.....their ham was MASSIVE. like the guy had a special wooden structure to help him cut the ham. it looked like...10 textbooks piled on top of each other...i don't know....

Merry Christmas (: + Mosman Beach

Christmas service was nice (: i love singing xmas carols. the sermon was really good/cute since it was suited for primary kids. the pastor had a pass the parcel with envelopes inside with verses (:

last year they had eng and chinese congregation at the same time but in different halls, this year they separated the times...

and when i came back, my family friend was like, do you want to go to the beach, and we were like ok (:

i don't think i got tanned too much. except my right arm kind of hurts.... :S haven't been to a sydney beach for a while..
Mosman beach: you can actually swim, since there's no waves. so we brought out boogie board for nothing, except just to float on....i like riding waves (:
luckly, they had platforms which we could jump off, about 3m. it was soooooo ridiculously fun, except when you climb up the ladder, it's filled with moss oceany stuff. except it's safe. the adrenaline on your first jump (: except i can't stand salt water, so i didn't jump as much as i would have in pool water.

and the boys played cod and nerf guns all afternoon and night, so i didn't do any work, not even read ):

bbq was nice (: no turkey this year ):
i really miss my uncle's xmas parties in hk, he has a real christmas tree, xmas stocking filled with yummy yummy goodies, swapping presents with family, ham, turkey, custard, xmas pudding, fruit mince pies, gingerbread, etcetc, aka THE LOT. i shall experience that again next year


my dad forgot to zoom in.....):

it's almost 12 and they still haven't left, and they live in the city....

Jesus is a small package, great gift (:
