Summer Gives Birth to Shopaholics

I KNOW!!!

It's been over a week since I last wrote a post, but who to blame when it comes to summer and I am born to be a popular person among peers, and they can't even hold a party without me. That's why I am being kept away from my beloved computer and YOU, my beloved readers and friends. I miss you! I honestly miss you. I miss the feeling of keep writing nonsense at night alone while everyone's sleeping. It's also sad that when I check my blog on my phone and see if any new reader from a new country, that even the old ones have abandoned me... Why do you do that to me?? Why can't you stick with me even I was a little busy?? It's true when people say there is no long lasting love? Oh my friends, you know I love thee...

But you know what? I AM BACK! And better than ever!

Let's not talk and talk for hours, but to see some pictures? How's that? I personally like photos and paragraphs the same way. But a relaxing place like this, we better look at some pictures of what I've spent my $$ on the past 2-3 weeks, so you know a part of me that you've missed. Good, huh?

Now I am going to do it in kind of a chronological way, easier to tell the story, yea?

Firstly, take a look of my new powder! Isn't the packaging super adorable and girly?? It's like the magic mirror that you can hold it and turn into a princess! Hehe, I saw it and recommended by a Youtube beauty guru. She is cute and American, she bought it when she was in Thailand for holiday. And I knew I can buy this Korean brand in HK, and I did! I bought it like half what she paid. That's why HK is a shopping paradise!!! 

And here is my very first EOS lip balm! I see it all the time on youtube and people talk about it all the time. I don't really LOVE to have it, and I have two lip balms already. One the I love from Australia and that is the one I buy over and over again. The other one is from a beauty box that I subscribe to, that one's packaging is cool and classy but it fails hard as a lip balm. It smells horrible, just list the smell of bad breath, and it doesn't moisturize AT ALL. It's just a meh. I opened the package of the EOS one and smelled it, it's sweet and pretty nice. As I won't be using it soon, so I didn't put it on my lips for hygine sake.

It also counts, right? Yea, this is the Mother's Day present that I gave my mom and her mom (my grandma ha). I couldn't think of what to get her, you know she doesn't put on makeup, so I can't get her cosmetic products. As I knew we would visit my uncle and grandma that day, so me and my bro simply bought a mango cake which she loves for her. Haha, I can also share a slice of it. Clever.

This is the beauty box that I have this May. I will write a post of it compared with last month's one later. Keep an eye of it!

OMG! HK is so hot right now but you know Winter Is Coming. Oh yea baby, it's A Song of Ice and Fire - Game of Thrones. I freaking love this show by HBO. Well, recommended by Mr. Porcupine long ago. I fell in love with the show and still in love with the season 2. So why not read it by myself?! I bought the first book and am reading it at the moment. Like a week later the other bookshop has a promotion for a credit card, so I told my dad to buy it for me. Hahaha, buy 2 get 1 free! It's really cheap. The problem now is they don't match with my book one... Anyway, I won't go against money, so let be it.

Another promotion product that I got. The shopping mall has a huge bi-week promotion at the moment, and that means it's the golden chance for me and my mom to shop for skin care products. AND my sun block  is almost empty, the best time to try the new one Shiseido has. If you do not know, it's a well known and high end skin care and cosmetic brand. So the box in the right is the Very Water Resistant UV Protector that I bought. Those three little samples come free with it during the promotion week. For that tiny bottle with the yellow cap next to the UN Protector is free also as my mom is a member of the VIP. So, you buy one thing, you get 5 things! Hahaha, girls' are like that, you know you somehow pay for the 'free' stuff as well, but you get happy about it. :) At least I am. :D

Hey! I got these charms on that Girls' Day. Super cheap! One pack of those earrings with 3 pairs only cost like 50 US cents. And that white I-Don't-Know-How-To-Call-It thing is also cheap, and the three girls share one of the three. So pretty and represents friendship!!! Yay~~

This is what I like to wear recently with my bangles also shared with the girls. Chic!

 And see how pretty it is with the bangles I got from Forever21 ?!?! Oh pretty!

 This is the very exciting piece I got yesterday! The most exciting thing among all. So I came across a shopping mall near my home and there were a sale area from a book story which also sells stationery. I saw this bag which originally designed for people to story their drawing pencils. I just thought it's perfect for my makeup brushes!!! And I chose the black one, looks just like the professional MAC one. I LOVE IT! Perfect that I can show it to my girls tomorrow during the Makeup Fiesta Party!!!! YEAH!

Finally, H&M. I think I bought a black dress for my interviews that day. Not really sure what else I got myself. All I want to share with you is this bag. Look at it, it just makes me wanna go swimming! 

So babies, stick with me and you will know more of me and this world also. :D I know I have been away and it's frustraing. I will try to post more and hey! Though I didn't wake up early to watch the once in 300 years solar eclipse this morning, but I really did visit the frozen mammoth from Siberia and I will be seeing Real Picaso's paintings! You know what? It's the historically FIRST time they are out of France! The first place they want to visit is Hong Kong! Where I live! Duh! I gotta see them, I have to. 

Stay tuned and you will love me more. <3 Remember to clean your makeup brushes often!

Love, S.

Girl's Day!

Hey Beautiful~~

How are ya doin?? Hahahaha, I LOVE it when some guys greet me that way. Hahahaha, Silly Stupid Sara! Anyway, Sara is Super Happy today. :D Well, what is better than having a Girls' Day with your old classmates and simply doing nothing and having pizza and playing Wii and watching youtube and Braking Dawn and gossiping and eating homemade dumplings and laughing at someone's pic on Facebook and shopping and screaming all day? Tell my any possible alternative and I will be appreciate.

First off, as friends of mine, I have the obligation to inform you guys that I have already quit the cashier job.Yes, the colleague there were nice, the company even included two meals a day, the location is crazily super close to my home which I can get there like within 4 minutes on foot, I stay indoor all day with air-con, I can play with money bills (does it count??)... Many positive comments about this job. Two arguments settle it all - I gotta stand on my feet whole day without a chair or shift and poorly paid. I honestly wanted to quit the first day, but then I told myself I gotta hold on for at least a week. Yay! I finished a week and I chose the most expensive meal set every day. I still feel bad that I kind of betray the manager and all the colleague that ever helped and taught me. Hey! My ankles hurt really bad and my legs hurt even when I go to bed or leave the bed each day. I don't think it worths to work for a summer job that pays not much and hurt me physically. Also, I told that manager the first day that whenever I find a better job, I will leave...

These few days I have experienced a lot, like how to handle misunderstanding in a better way, more smoothly. When I was younger, I always believed that if I got the point then I should stand against the world. That's the right thing to fight for my rights. Then I realize, using alternative choice of expression like more formal and polite way, even you don't feel like that, can always settle things much easier and faster. Everyone is more happy with that after all, including myself. That's the Art of Words. It's not what you say, it's how you say. It interests me a lot in how to say the right thing in a more suitable tone and using the right wording, it gains you more friends at the end. Not to be a fake person, but to be a more mature person who can calm people's anger. It's hard, yet it's fascinatingly challenging. 

Remember that I said I would go to a factory building for a book exhibition? Well, I did went to that building, but not really got into the building. That building looked horribly old! I didn't dare to go alone. What if there are men with bad intention that try to rape me?? What if there are zombies hiding and waiting to eat me?? I don't know, I always feel like there are zombies inside factory buildings. Generally, factory buildings are scary.

Umm... what's else... I always want to post a beauty related post about the things that I bought recently. Umm... haha... maybe later, I am sleepy now. I have to create some invitation card samples for my classmates to choose for our graduation dinner and I Have To go shopping with my girls tomorrow in Soho. LOL, you won't have enough energy to spot on good looking guys there if you are tired. Won't you agree with me girls ? (Wink Wink;))

Hahaha, I seriously think that I make myself like one of those Desperate Housewives or those four women in Sex and The City. Geeze! I am not that old and thirsty of men, neither that wealthy... Believe it or not, the words that came out of my mouth may make you feel that I am a bitchy young girl, but inside, what I truly believe in is from a traditional granny with ancient moral values. 

Oh! A side note - When I watch youtube videos or movies, I always get confused about Anyways and Anyway by people. Then I asked that special friend of mine who used to be an English teacher, he confirmed me that there is no such word of Anyways. So I was right, only Anyway, never Anyways. So... I hope the revolution starts from here, Stop Saying Anyways, it hurts my ears. Especially when you are a native English Speaker, don't you think it would lower your own status as a literate person? I am a Chinese and my English is not that good, but I learn from mistake and I want to be better in it. I hope you will work on it with me, influence your company and start the Good English Movement. It's not fighting against slang. Slang is fun, but this is bad language which should be avoided.

Goodnight or Good day to you my friends. I am ready for bed, Get up early tomorrow for a healthy breakfast. :) Try to replace your toast with bread, it's the easy step to a healthier life.

Love, S.

Poorly Paid

Hey guys

I live such a meaningful life! Have I ever told you that I have a new part time job? Yea... as a cashier in a restaurant. You can't even imagine, it's so damn tired! My mom told me to apply for the job that night as the venue of it is super close to my home, and it offers free breakfast and lunch, so it seems like the 'awesome' job. 

The manager contacted me two days after, it's like she REALLY wanted me to have the job. You know, I got lazy and I didn't want to do anything. For the sake of traveling with my girls and I haven't found other job, why not go for it first, since she said I can quit whenever. I was tricked. The first day of my job was on 1/5, the public holiday! And it was Labour Day! Which means?? Every single person goes out and have meals. That was just my first day and I didn't even know how to operate that stupid computer yet! Btw, that computer system was the most stupid system ever. You have to memorize different ways to order different set of meal very carefully. It may sound the plain easy thing, but what I mean is - There are several ways to get the same food, but the price would not be the same. I mean, why can't it solve the solution itself and give me the same, cheapest way of getting the same food, instead of me, using my own human brain to work it? It's just no point.

So besides memorizing every stupid system code of it, I gotta put a smile on my face all the time. I mean, I am basically a happy person, I smile and laugh a lot, but it gets really tired when you are standing there dealing with rude customers hours strict. I now seriously have more respect to those who work in the service field. 

AAAARGH!!! I still have many things want to share with you guys, but I really have to sleep now, I have to get up at 0530 tmr! Goodnight my friends!

Never drink cold drinks in the morning! It's not good for your health!

Love, S.
