i can't access xanga.com at work anymore, they blocked it! Arrggg...been so bare without it, i used to log on every morning to read or update my blog but now...i can't!

but the good thing is, i've been so flat out at work.

i'm getting the hang of taking the minutes of meeting, i used to freak out just thinking about it but now i can actually say, i'm pretty all right.

other than work, the weather in Perth is crazy! It's been so cold through the nights & the crazy storm has arrived.

oh i hate the rain! only because i take the train to work & i hate getting pour on...I'm seriously thinking of driving in to work for the winter season.

however, if i was home & it was raining...that would be another story. I would love just staying in bed, reading my books.

so other than work & rain.

it was my 23rd birthday on Thursday! My boss & a couple of managers had flowers delivery to me! they were gorgeous!

and in the evening of my birthday, my family & i had dinner at "cy o'connor village/pub" in canning vale.

Gossip Girls

I’m addicted to this American TV chick flick, its base on a book series of the same name written by Cecily von Ziegesar. Gossip girls revolve around the live of socialite teenager growing up in New Yoke city, Upper East Side.

Serena van der Woodsen is a pretty young lady.

Serena and her family are prominent in New Yoke society. Her mother Lily van der woodsen married Chuck Bass dad, S also has a younger brother named Eric van der woodsen who suffers from depression.

S longs for real romance and eventually find true love with Dan Humphrey a middle class guy from Brooklyn.

Dan Humphrey is best friends with Vanessa Abrams

and the brother of Jenny Humphrey.

Dan has been head over heels with socialite Serena van der Woodsen for many years, and finally snagged his dream girl in the first season of Gossip Girl. He is a aspiring writer, with a good heart and morals.

Dan maintains his close sibling bonding with sister, Jenny and his father Rufus. He does not really fit in with Nate or Chuck.

Every girl has a best friend, and her was Blair Waldorf,

they have been best friends since kinder. I have to say, Blair has the most amazing fashion sense. I love what she wears! She idolizes Audrey Hepburn, and has a tendency to be bitchy and controlling!

Blair is known as B to Serena, and she is very vain! thought her friendship with S cause her to be insecure at times as a result she is known as Queen B, as she using her charm and wealth to win people over.

Blair dated Nate Archibald since they were in kinder, she wanted to marry him but found out that he had slept with Serena, her best friends, and everything went down hill. The most interesting thing is, Blair & Chuck hook up in the back of chucks limo and lost her virginity to chuck.

Chuck Bass, “I’m Chuck Bass” his trademark line, his wealthy & charming at times. His the most connected kid around over at the Upper East Side, he has a thing for Blair Waldorf and ever since they hook up, he can’t get his mind off her.

His best mate, Nate Archibald also a very wealthy, must I say BEST LOOKING character which I was praying isn’t gay! Nate has been dating Blair since they were in Kinder, they broke up their relationship in season I and ever since then, he has been hooking up with lots of gorgeous chicks!

and the infamous saying in every episode, they end it off by saying xoxo gossip girls, till next time folks.

Eye brows Threading

I’ve been finding for a place in Perth that does eyebrow threading and I’ve finally found it!

I was first introduced by my cousin who threads her eyebrows every month from an Indian lady in Singapore, so while I was on a holidays she took me there.

At first, I was a little nervous. The lady sat me down and wipes my face with a white powder and started doing what she does best. Me, on the other hand screaming “Stop..stoop! It’s too painful” she was about to thread my entire face!!! I was a beginner so it was a NO-GO! I said, just tread my eyebrows.

It hurt a little, but it looked fantastic and it lasted me awhile. Ever since then, I’ve been finding for a threading place in PERTH.

Eye brow waxing can’t beat this!

I had a really bad experience with waxing, the beautician wax my eyebrows and she did it 3 times on the same spot. It was painful!

I looked at the mirror and then I looked at her and I said, “Is my eyebrows meant to me this red and swollen?” Her reply, “yes it would take ½ hour to let the swelling go down.” Bull shit!

Not happy with her response, I asked to see her manager. At this time, my eyebrow was bleeding! Yes…bleeding!

The manager was shocked & apologise, she gave me back my money and told me the next time I come in again, it would be free.

Thanks but no thanks. I’m not letting them touch my eyebrows ever again! I was left with a scar on my eyebrows for about a month.

From then on, Mom has asked many of her friends, but no one knew of a threading place.

To my surprise, my boyfriend’s mom came home one evening and handed me a brochure and told me, you should try this place out and let me know if they’re any good.

Browsing thought it carefully, and it must have been my lucky day! It said, “Eye brows treading for $17bucks”

I know a rip off but soooo worth it!

I have finally found an eyebrow threading guru! And it’s not a lady that does it, it’s actually a dude. I was so embarrassed when he started doing my eyebrow cos his looked so much better than mine. Nope, his not gay either, he runs the store with his wife.

There are no chemicals used in this method, so if your eye area is easily irritated by those products, this is a better way to go. The hair supposedly does not grow back as fast and grows back finer! Definitely give it a try if you encounter it.

Over the weekend, I went to watch the movie “He’s just NOT that into you” with the girls; I have to say I totally enjoyed it!

i’m so getting alfred to watch it when blockbuster releases it out.

I love the part where the two African women sat on the bench and quoted some of the things guys mention when they break up with chicks.  

“It’s not you, it’s me…”

I thought the character Gigi was crazy, and what she does to meet a guy is just so terrible, and pretty funny, she wants a man who says he’ll call and she sit next to the phone waiting and becomes a little stalkeish.

She meets Alex (Justine Long) who runs a pub and he advises her to stop sitting by the phone. Beth (Jennifer Aniston) eventually calls her long term relationship off as it wasn’t going anywhere meaning the next step - MARRIAGE. On the other hand, her boyfriend Neil (Ben Affleck) reckons there isn’t anything wrong with their relationship because he loves her so very much & marriage isn’t going to change it. This is soooo sweet!

Janine (Jennifer Connelly) isn’t sure if she can trust her husband which is her high school sweetheart, Ben (Bradley Cooper) who can’t even trust himself with Anna!!! – Ben was such a dick in this character…wants the best of both worlds!

All I have to say, go and watch it if you haven’t!

The next movie on my list to watch “Confession of a shopaholic”, I can’t wait to watch the part where she freezes her credit card and try to crack the ice block! * Blonde moment *
