Crashing Ikea with My BFF Heather!

Hi peeps! Yesterday Heather and I went crazy at Ikea and I filmed a video! :

Crashing Ikea with my BFF

Watch it! It's funny!

After Ikea we went to this place called Hana cafe cause being broke did not keep us from spending money like we own it. The service is meh the waffle and the tea also meh :/

Picture time! :

Ikea 

Is it me or are Ikea dolls kinda ugly

Acting like we're high class

(In reality we crashed around at Ikea for hours but left the place empty handed) 

Waffle (meh)

This mixed berry tea is also meh 

The cake is not bad but costs NT$90, Starbuck's cakes are better and only costs NT$80 or even less.

Conclusion : Hana cafe is not worth spending almost 300 for an afternoon tea. And the waitress gave Heather an attitude when Heather asked if what they gave her is waffles cause she ordered pancakes and she specifically pointed at the name on the menu. But the waitress said they won't change for her cause they already confirmed the orders with her before serving. But both of us don't remember her confirming AT ALL. And in Taiwan most places call waffles and pancakes "hot cakes" so it's really hard to order the right ones.  

That's it for now.

Bye! 8D

Yearbook photo shoot disaster!

We went to take some yearbook photos! It was a DISASTER. Actually it was fun but for some moments it was a disaster for me. Let me tell you why.

Our class wanted to take pictures with the "in the big city style" so we decided to take pics at night when it's dark but shiny because of the lights from buildings. And we agreed that Taipei 101 was the best place for the "big city" feel. But because we wanted to take pics at night, our class arranged that we'd meet at 4 pm. So me and Heather and some friends decided to meet up at 1 pm first to eat lunch.

Now I've always known that I have a big problem. If I eat out and immediately go walking, I'll throw up. But if I sit and rest for awhile first then I'll be safe. So I thought that I'll be fine after sitting in the train on our way to Taipei 101 cause it's quite a long trip. WRONG. VERY WRONG.

While waiting for all our classmates to show up, I felt a very sickening pain in my stomach. I sat down and hoped that it would get better. But no it didn't. After all our classmates showed up and we started taking our first set of pictures, I felt the horrible sickening feeling in my stomach that means I'M ABOUT TO THROW UP ON MY CLASSMATES RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW IF I DON'T GO TO THE NEAREST FREAKING TOILET RIGHT FREAKING NOW.
But what's the problem? THERE'S NO TOILET. Not here out in the open. Take a look at this picture :

Can you spot me?

I'm on the back row, the sixth one counting from left to right.

It's in the open. And I'm not really smiling cause I'm about to barf in public. There's no toilet near enough for me to reach in time.

So guess what I did? No I didn't throw up in a trash can in public. That's too embarrassing. No I did something WORSE : I threw up in a nearby bush. In public.

So much for me looking extra glam on photo shooting day, I even put on fake lashes and all. I totally looked like a drunk hooker barfing in a bush. How classic. Except I didn't smell like booze, I smelled like curry, what I had for lunch.

So after that, it's all good right? I threw up, so everything is back to normal right? WRONG AGAIN. I was so happy that I'm finally feeling much better that I drank starbucks. And guess what? Yeah that's right, I threw up again.

It was after taking this pic

Back row, second one counting from left to right.

I wasn't smiling again 'cause you know why

In the same bush. I would like to say sorry to whoever had to take care of the bushes. Seriously I feel so bad for that person. I probably should have cover up my barf or something. Anyway this time I smelled like starbucks coffee.

I would also like to say sorry to Heather who had to stay with me throughout both of the barfing moments. She even got hit alittle. I wanted to warn her to move away or she'll get hit but my mouth was busy. But I'm glad she's with me though other wise I'd look so pathetic.

After the second barf, I felt better. And we continued photo shooting.

We really went to Taipei 101!

In case you're wondering why my clothes changed. We had to bring three sets of clothes. Black & white, bright colors, and your own style. So it was a busy day.

Please note that I AM wearing pants

Some people have been staring at my bottom with eyes that says "are you wearing pants?". Yes I am, it's covered.

After the photo shoot, I bought crepes.

I know! You all must be like "barfed two times and still eating things?!" But yeah I never learn my lesson. Especially sweets, they control me.

I mean look at all the things I've had in ONE week :

Honey toast

Starbucks

Starbuck's chocolate lava cake

Poor Heather can't save money or diet at all with me around.

By the way, I didn't barf after the crepe ok?

Pudding time!!! :

And look what I've made! :

I love to post shit load amounts of photos that look about the same cause I can't decide.

But hey! Lots of photos is better than no photos at all right? 8D

I made those donuts in class (again) cause I was bored (again).

Don't worry, I have fair grades. Not good, but at least I pass my exams.

I hope Dunkin' Donuts won't sue me.

Anyway, something awful happened to me last week. I don't wanna tell you guys the details but let's just say it made my life a bit harder. At least until next year's entrance exam is over. I am grounded for half a year and I only get to play computer 2 hours a day on weekends. Seriously it's driving me nuts! D8 I mean computer's OK but not being able to go out for HALF A YEAR?! SIX MONTHS?! Bleh :/ 

Well, see you next week!

Danshui & Ximending Haul

Hey! This post is gonna be about my hauls for the past few outings. The reason why I didn't blog last week is because while I look through and edit my Danshui trip photos, I realize most photos of me kinda looks unglam. Not because Heather didn't take good photos. But because the sun is bright, the wind is blowing (like really hard) and I dunno why I just don't look good in photos anymore. So I lost the mood to blog. LOL I KNOW!!! LAMEST EXCUSE EVER!!! But it's true, when you realize your photos don't look so good you just don't really wanna blog about it and share with the whole world. But I promised, so here goes :

DANSHUI 

(淡水)

awkward expression cause the sun is too bright

The sign says : "husband killer"

LOL 8D

This one say : "Cheated in exam"

LOL x2 8D

And here's what I've bought!

Danshui has the "old street" place where they sell nostalgic stuffs

I remember when I was a kid, I loved to suck on those chocolate syrup sticks!

See that boiled egg at the bottom of the picture? It's a toy that you throw really hard to the ground and it would look like liquid for about 5 seconds and then it turns back in to the solid state. I wanted to make a video or maybe just take pictures of how to play and how it looks like and share it on my blog but I took the toy to school and the boys kept on playing with it very violently until it broke :( so no chance :(

At first it's very funny when it broke but now that I think about it I'm kinda pissed. Boys in my class always like to borrow stuffs from people and never take good care of it. Sometimes never even return until you saw your things that you lend to them lying on the ground looking ragged and dirty. I'm like if you wanna borrow stuffs from people, at least take good care of it ok?! Now finally one of my things broke because of you guys and even though it's a cheap thing, it's hard to buy! And the guy who broke it says he'll pay me back but of course he never did. Pissed -_-

XIMENDING

(西門町)

These are what I bought at Ximending

(except the Ginger ale soda, bought that from a mall)

The.....umm.....what are they called? Anti-dust plugs? Basically it's a plug for the hole where you plug your earphones and their purpose is to prevent dust from entering the hole. Why am I explaining this anyway? This thing is known around the world isn't it? Right now my favorite is the blue bunny ears but they're not exactly bunny ears, they're something like this :

Pic from here

But I also like the little twin stars 'cause they're cute (I like pink and blue/mint combination)

And the little gingerbread man is super cute too! 

Look how it matches my cookie themed cell phone cover! 8D (happy)

I have a favorite Taiwanese blogger. Her name is Kusa (which means "grass" in japanese which is her name : 小草 is her Chinese name which literally means little grass in chinese). She's kinda famous. Her blog gets featured almost everyday and a lot of people read her blog too. She used to be on stage on small events and she and her blog got on the newspaper. I love reading her blog because it's so cute & informative! She and her brother's wife (who's really cute and young too) has a shop called "Rocky Boss" at Ximending. So I went to check it out 'cause I read about it on the website and think the shop sells a lot of cute stuffs! (Of course Heather was forced to go with me lol 8D ) 

Here are some pics of the shop (stolen from other websites. I will post the links ok!?)

It's the colorful shop

And they sell Swimmer's stuff!!!

Swimmer is a brand in japan that sells cute sometimes weird stuffs. And I love them but the shops are in Japan and quite expensive. So glad that Rocky Boss sells them! I mean look at the above picture! The comb!! I WANT!!! Too bad it's sold out :(

Pics from here and here

It was my lucky day 'cause when I reach Rocky Boss, I realize that Kusa is inside looking after the shop! I was kinda lame 'cause I was too scared and shy to talk to her so Heather had to be the one to tell her that I'm a fan of her and I read her blog all the time. She was abit shy too but chatted with us abit. Then (after some lame awkward moments)  I asked if she can take a picture with me :

It was Halloween so I got a pair of bear ears on my head

But even with the adorable bear ears I still look like a man/giant. Especially next to Kusa 'cause she's so tiny :/ no edits can make me look any better :/

Any way here's what I bought from her shop : 

My Melody box (NT$ 90)

A tiny box and I admit it's kinda expensive. But it's so cute and I've always wanted to buy a small box to store my false lashes (and it feels so lame to just walk into her shop to take a picture with her and not buying anything). I do like the box. Cute!

Swimmer contact lens box (NT$ 490)

I also admit this thing is CRAZY expensive. But I love it! It's Swimmer and it's cute and it's got a cake with a pink bow on top and a smiling cup of coffee/tea. IT'S MADE FOR ME!!! Finally I've got a stuff from Swimmer! No I'm not stupid or retarded, I'm just crazy.

Things in Rocky Boss is quite expensive but expected 'cause all the things they sell are from Japan. Some of the things they bought directly from Japan on their trip there and brought back to sell here in their shop in Taiwan.

I know this sounds crazy but I'll be going back there to buy more stuffs. You can't stop me. But after I've saved up enough money first :/

That's it for this post

See ya! 8D
