WHOOTS!!! I just had a movie marathon at home, and I so want popcorn/nachos, plus my craving for Pancake is still here!!! Jeesh...I realised something. Once I started to actually buy groceries (like actual food stuff, veg, meat, milk, rice etc.) I really cut down on buying snacks & tidbits. It's like last year, when I was still staying in homestay, the only things I bought from Coles were like biscuits, Tim Tams, instant soup packets, cereal, chocolates and other snack stuff. But this year, I haven't even bought myself ANY Tim Tams or keep any chocolate at home, or biscuits or chips for that matter (Other than the Wang Wang Cheese Crackers I get from Chinatown). 0.o"...Something's wrong with me. Sorry, side-tracked...

ANYWAYS. I am getting hooked onto dance movies...AGAIN! Watched a few these few days while I am alone in Gatton since I've got nothing to do anyway. I really liked Take the Lead, Save the Last Dance 2 (1's not bad too), Step Up (I LOVE IT!!! Channing Tatum~ WHOOTS), Stomp the Yard (COLUMBUS BROWN!!!).

Anyone wanna reccomend other dance movies? I heard about You Got Served, but people said it sucks, so I am still thinking about watching it. And of course, don't suggest Step Up 2, cause I ALREADY WATCHED IT, and it ROCKS! I love Step Up series, they totally should do more of those. Also heard about How She Move, another MTV movie (like Save The Last Dance), totally gonna watch that when it's out on April 10th!!!! It's about step dancing (aka Steps), like in the movie Stomp the Yard. Looking forward!!

Am gonna try Mad Hot Ballroom and maybe One Last Dance sometime soon.

Another movie worth mentioning is probably Innocent Steps (Korean). It's also on ballroom dancing, mainly focusing on Rhumba and Latin dance. But the story is more towards romance than dance as they don't show much practice or dancing in the movie. so yea...

I shall now proceed to watch Raise Your Voice & What a Girl Wants and scream like an obsessed fan-girl at Oliver James, who can play the piano AND the guitar AND sing AND compose, PLUS, he's from ENGLAND -love his accent...-, plus, it doesn't hurt that he is extremely cute. They should make more "chick-flicks"/"teenage" movies with him in it...XD, just for my sake. XD

Just went for a haircut. At Heatwave again, and by Wini AGAIN!!! Hahas. It's real short! For Halif & Co, think Vivien, for NP dudes, think in-between Vic and Linda, for Jing & Co, think somewhere near Kai's current hair. For Talisa and the rest, ummm...You will know when you see. XD.

Violet base with inner red highlights! Love the colors, but not so happy with the length. I guess I am just not used to it. BUT, since my hair grows pretty fast, I think in 2 weeks, it will be fine. Plus, I am leaving till Dec, and Wini said that my current "head" will last for around 1/2 year. Cool!

Mum says it's too short and not very nice, brother (eldest) says "Why you go cut till so short?!". Zzzzzzz...I find it okay LEH.

Pictures up later this evening, am still in my mum's office.

Hmmm, forgot my make-up pouch this morning, plus my ZA 2-way foundation has run out. Went to Citylink and searched high and low for Watsons, found none and end up buying Missha instead. Their 2-Way cake is alright, if ZA's coverage was full, then this will be around medium. Blusher was so-so, color is just right, but i would rather they add a small brush or something to go with it like other brands, cause I didn't get the one with glitter which came with a puff attached. Kinda expensive, so I think I will stick to ZA.

Introduction

Hi! Welcome to my blog.

This is the area where I rant and rave about everything and anything going on in my life.

If you are looking for recipes, the links to each single recipe will be located before the archives, just scroll down a little.

Usually, I talk about what's been going on in my life, my cooking, or my latest buys/holiday trips.

Time to time, I will introduce new websites that I find interesting, and online shopping haunts.

I make my own blogskins, and I do submit them onto blogskins.com. You can find them HERE

Thats about it!
