Shopping Time!

Entry served on 22 July 2009 at 19:30

Gosh, I’ve been meaning to post this but have been partly extremely lazy. So, this is the second part of the things I ordered online during my study break. I’ll say that I’m very happy with this lot compared to the previous one where the pocket mirror was slightly disappointing.

There still the custom wallet but I’ll talk about it later because it deserves it’s own little section. ?

So, first and second picture [half of it] is of the four keychains I ordered on Livejournal[taconaco]. I got Harry Potter, Kakashi [Naruto], ???[Death Note] and ???[Yami no Matsuei]. They are adorable hehehhheee…*hem hem*.

The other half of the second picture and third picture is a lot of four pie-shaped keychains ordered from Etsy[skookyspry]. These are as cute as they look, even cuter actually! I’m really happy I got them. It was buy one get one free thus, I have four.

The fourth picture is of a set of 12 mind-teaser games. I love these sort of things. I suck at word-games, mind-teaser word games and all thsoe, but these sort of objects games, I’m totally in. (As you can see in the picture, it shows one of the completed mind-teaser games. [Second column, middle row, metal balls in a circle])

Now, onto my custom clutch wallet…thing. It really is as awesome as it looks by the way! XD By the way, made by Etsy[thelaughinghouse]. I really recommend them as they did it exactly as I said I want it done.

The first image just shows the overall “look” of the wallet. The fabric is Amy Butler’s “Kashmir in Olive”. It’s fantastic, right?! OK, the nitty gritty of it.

The original wallet was the wallet itself without the strap. I specified how I wanted the strap, which they did it perfectly well.

As you can see from the second picture, it’s a single strap “crossing” over the wallet. Second and third picture shows how the strap is attached. One side is permanently stitched on, the other side has a snap-button clasp.

Fourth picture shows there’s a secret snap-button clasp as well to attach the zipper(yes, underneath the zipper is a snap-button clasp) when using the wallet like shown in the first picture.

Last picture just displays the junk I can fit in it.

Again, pardon the LQ images. My webcam may be tiny and cheap($12), but it does it’s job well. *pets webcam* The lightning is also crap because it was either no lights(thus, black) or light. Dinner time now, au revoir for now.

Got cheated? Yeah…

Do you know what I hate? Stupid lying fuckers that affect me. Especially other university students taking the same course as me.

University started this week and we’re supposed to be signing up for lab courses. I signed up for a lab stream at 11AM as my first choice. But I got allocated to another stream which is at a slightly shittier time. I won’t be so fucked if I was late at signing up. BUT I WAS ONE OF THE FIRST. My name was within the first ten boxes! And I see names much further down the list stating they have to have this stream as it’s their “only choice”. Only choice my ass. More like they were being late and lazy fuckers.

Another example, last term Biology equity tutorials. These were optional but “priority will be given to students who have not done Biology before or are struggling”. I fit BOTH criterias down to the T. My name was in the first half of the sign-up page. Did Not Get In. Yet I know that there were students who HAVE DONE Biology right up ’till college, gotten an excellent grade in the subject, who got in this equity tutorial. It’s just fucking bullshit. Priority? What priority.

These sort of thing pisses me off. Immensely. Maybe next time I’ll just be like them assholes and state it’s “my only choice”. Then maybe they’ll know how annoying it is…

Faux pas?

Today was my first day back at university. I had two classes which was Human Biology and the other was Diseases & Immunization…something like that. It was quite OK. Though the lecturer for the latter class has such a damn sexy accent. Makes me want to crawl really, in a good way. XD

After the lectures, I think I commited one social no-no. Talking loudly on the phone. I normally don’t get unexpected calls [except for the time where my number was mistakenly printed in a porn newspaper, not shitting you], but it turned out to be my uncle who wanted me to babysit my cousins [they are a story for another day].

So I walked out of the store and onto the busy street. I could barely hear half the things my uncle was saying because it was so loud. This resulted in me talking out loud. Which is a big no-no. I think it’s just reflex that if you can’t hear, you talk louder. But it doesn’t make sense that you should talk louder when you actually can’t hear. And on top of that embarassing display, I was making hand gestured even though my uncle is at least 15KM away from me. I noticed a few passer-bys looking at me strangly, but I couldn’t really pay attention because I had to concentrate on listening on the phone.

After the call ended, I asked my friend, “I was talking really loud, wasn’t I?” She could just nod her head. So embarassing. Must talk softer next time! Practice, practice, practice!

Another no-no I think I did today was not acknowledging a regular customer at the restaurant I work at on the train. But I have a reason! Thing is, I don’t know him on a personal level. I only know him from work. “Know him at work” means that I recognize that he came in to the restaurant previous times. That’s it. I don’t make small talk with ANYONE, because I hate it. So I know nothing about him. With that, he is classified as a stranger to me. But I feel bad because he recognizes me and probably wants to have a little chat but I hate it and I don’t know him so I refuse to look at him! *sigh* I wish he knew me smiling away at the restaurant is my “customer service” personality. It’s not the real me. The real me is as anti-social as they come…does anyone have this problem?

I’ve started cross-stitching. It’s a rocket bookmark.

My days flew by…

Where have I been, I hear you crying out. Sick, that’s where I’ve been. Absolutely dreadfully sick. Fever, block nose, bleeding nose, headache, fatigue and the list goes on. Today is one week and one day since I’ve been sick, but I feel a little bit more capable. My headache has mostly gone away, though the fatigue is still there. So after this post, I’m going to sleep so that I can go to work later tonight.

My last batch of online shopping arrived last week. Including the lovely custom purse I ordered! I have to show it off in the next entry or so. It is honestly lovely. So for now, bye. Cozy bed, here I come.

It's a big stereo. Speakers so loud, they blow women's clothes off!
