Shopping With Hazel-nut And Brookey

Woah. Overdue pics! Well the following are from my toury visit to UWA on wednesday. I love that place and I so want to go there to do my uni life. Its awesome.



Potential smart asses. Literally.

The second presenter was hell funny!

He was telling us, in the process of learning, everyone goes through 4 stages. I cant rmb the exact names of each stage but he used learning how to drive as an example.


Stage One is when you havent learnt it yet but you feel like you will be pro at
it. Like before driving, you think "OH, JUST SIT AND PRESS ACCELERATE OR BRAKE' - one is ignorant and thinks they know everything.

Stage Two is when you
actually start learning and realise what a dumbo you are. Ie, you sit in the car
and get confused by the array of driving controls and skil it takes to drive,
esp manual cars.

Stage Three - you have learnt but still cannot do it
subconsciously. Going back to the driving example, say you stall the car in
traffic and being a beginner you panic and have to slowly recite the steps in
your head on how to restart and get going again. You take time and its abrupt.

Stage Four. Imagine this, 3 months down the road after getting your P's
and being able to solo drive, every driving manuvre comes automatically to you
and you can hold a conversation about so and so cute guy 3 cars behind you, blow
your nose with one hand while swerving an obstacle and browse radio stations.
Then you stall the car. Car behind you honks like mad cos you didnt move
instantly.

But unlike THREE months ago, you do not panic. You stay calm.

You compose yourself, start the engine and gracefully stretch your hand back and do this....



Credits to Andy for drawing me my pink car. Nice right? Using only Paint program!

I had another driving lesson ytd and I got honked. I was so tempted to follow the lecturer's advice but I am a polite driver and thus I just smiled and gracefully pulled off.

Peace.
Anyway... back to pictures ^^ Them two sillies had an absession with that tweez gesture today. Pls dont mind them....









And no, my dress aint from there. I wish though....

They have this awesome $650 red and gold oriental looking one and I LOVE IT TO DEATH! Brookey wouldnt let me go in to take a pic. She hates that store! GEEZ! (considering she still blew $500 on her dress.... what is an extra $100?...) Anyways, my stuff, Im seriously all prepared already. I only needa get my dress altered, hair and face done and Im all ready to partayyye! Heres a total cost breakdown...

Shoes - $30


Jewellery - $32


Dress (Im not showing pic!) - $59, though it was originally $300. I am GOOOOOD! It is a proper ball dress from a ball gown boutique too so IN YOUR FACES ALL THOSE OF YOU WHO BLEW A FEW HUNDRED! =))

Woots. exciting. But anyway, I have a BBQ to entertain today. CHINESE NEW YEAR! ^^
To be frank Im only interested in the ang baos (red packets with moneyyyy), but ofc its alot more than just cold hard cash. CNY is also very important because...

Ok, Im drooling and ruining my keyboard.
Must go.
Happy CNY! and if you want to send me an ang bao (WITH MONEY!), you are very welcome to do so, just email me for my address and your kinda gesture will very much be appreciated. =))
