A small package for me

Bobbi Brown shimmerbrick in rose. The mirror is so awesome. It's comparable to 17% opacity deep indigo difference layer on Photoshop. Honestly.


In case fluidline dries out.

I think it's time to go to Mecca to buy an aluminium compact for this.

MAC Slimshine in Gentle Simmer

Obviously I've been too lazy to study for Legal so I've been listening to the Grandma's Virginity Podcast all over again. So many lulz I can't even.

Cheats' trifle

This was inspired by the 'trifle' Nigella Lawson made on her show Nigella Kitchen. She used fresh berries whereas I've used a combination. As the juices of the frozen berries defrost, they colour the yoghurt as well.

Spinach and ricotta gorge-ousity

This is one of the mini rolls I made on Monday. I don't have any good photos of the larger one but it's basically this but bigger.

Inside

Tonight's dindin! Crispy, golden puff pastry cradling soft, melt in my mouth spinach and ricotta mixture.

I'm not usually one to criticise others' opinions, attitudes or beliefs but I'm becoming increasingly enraged by this one anon/s-user conversation on formspring. The heat of the debate rests in the fact that user thinks that the average size of Asian women is size 8. I agree that Asian women are usually smaller framed than Western women and that because we live in a Western society that yes, most Asian women are considerably smaller. The point that amazes me is that user is trying to defend her point that it's average for women to be size 8. This kind of argument reminds me of the 'real' women debate - Please define 'real'? All women are real. In this particular argument I don't even understand how the majority of women of an ethnicity can be lumped into a subjective statistic, 'size 8 average'. It's infuriating to see this user defend her claim that she is 'fat', especially when I, clearly an obese Asian female. Her facts aren't backed up by solid evidence. For example her claim that the Australian sizing system is larger than other sizing systems. The fact of the matter is, they're different sizing systems! It's just like how French shoe sizes are about half a size up than European sizing. Australian clothing follows the UK sizing system and US shoe sizes. The only thing that's crystalline is that in Australia we don't have regulations and that any size can be labelled anything. The whole argument on FS has amounted to two days worth of bullshit about size 8 averages when the bottom line is that Asian women are smaller in comparison to other races, especially in Australia.

Furthermore, to speak frankly, the user really made a mockery of herself. Her argument was almost incomprehensible and tl;dr. When you're trying to argue a point it's far more effective to write or speak in a formal manner, at least then you can tell that you're actually serious. Repeated use of profanity or netspeak isn't going to do any favours and to be honest, made user look like a drama queen. Oh well, I suppose that's what happens when you're fighting a lost cause.

This wasn't an attack on the user herself, I'm just pissed off as usual.

Salad!

This is my brunch. I apologise for the strangely coloured photos but the mixture of halogen down light and natural sunlight in my kitchen makes for weird colouring.

A witlof base.

Some pan-fried potato (I couldn't resist. I LOVE POTATOES!).

Layer a (badly) sliced tomato.

Arrange some steamed asparagus.

A sliced boiled egg.


Pour your dressing ingredients into a jar. In mine I have olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey and wholeseed mustard. Then shake it like a polaroid picture until it's all combined.

Garnish with some torn basil and dress your salad!

Feed to someone with a monster apetite

I just got a letter from Ms Brown! And she has a return address! (brb, google mapping)



WAY TO GUILT TRIP ME, URGH.

✄✂✃✁

Yeah, those are all the scissors I have.
It's kind of common knowledge that the HSC makes people do strange things (eg studying, eating too many desserts etc)... so much so that 'strange' things aren't strange anymore. Immediately after I printed out my Modern History notes (see image 1) I went to the hairdresser to get my haircut. Recently I've been really into Ipso Facto (boo, I only discover them a year after they break up, I REALLY SUCK) and their haircuts have been plaguing my mind forevah, begging me to cut it. Short story even shorter, I got my haircut. I got bangs cut again so I'm going to be super busy training my hair to grow straight down.

Actually I kind of resemble a boy from the Middle Ages...

fulli tabulli

Ms Bullivant is such a sweetheart. As I was assembling my brunch today Mum handed me a letter. My immediate reaction was 'hmm, an unknown pen pal? WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE, I RECOGNISE THAT HANDWRITING, OMG SHE'S WRITING IN CAPS'. Clutching the letter and walking towards my room I wondering if she sent me a letter to tell me to write some history essays or make a point that everyone else has sent essays over and that I'm the only one who hasn't. I'm quite often intimidated by my own thoughts so I left the letter next to my laptop for fear of being scolded by Ms B through her letter... and because I hadn't eaten yet. After my brunch (two salada crispbreads with vintage cheddar and avocado.. dericious) I began opening the letter. The seal was kind of sticky, indicating to me that a) I was touching Ms B's saliva remains or b) the envelope manufacturers use bad quality glue. I'm ruling out the latter. Inside the envelope were two chocolates and a printed letter. WHAT IS THIS MS B? In the letter you tell us to 'Strengthen those hands that have to write for three hours in the exams. Get those muscles into training!!!' yet she types her letter out (most notably in Comic Sans in some icky barf green ink)? The rest was pretty sentimental and I'm not one for sentiment so I started eating the two chocolates she had sent over. cool story bro

A couple of days ago I was in Coles looking through the fresh produce section, looking at the artichokes no less. Artichokes are fucking expensive, I'm not paying $2 for one when I'm going to throw two thirds away. My mum came back from her daily shopping today and presented me with two artichokes. I'm so excited! (if I were Ms B I'd write 'I'M SO EXCITED!!!')

That happened at the kitchen counter as I was eating, now come back into my room. I open my laptop up and open Tweetdeck. '99 new tweets, 1 mention'. 1 mention? Who could that be? wtf? HANNAH MARSHALL THE DESIGNER SENT ME A TWEET. K, S and I were discussing Paris fashion week (okay, well the three fashion weeks actually) after the Louis Vuitton ss11 show and I listed down my favourite collections from ss11.

NAVY - mixtape

Self assured, independent, strong, melancholy. Also nautical! I took the theme literally with the last song. Här!

I had planned out several themed mixtapes on a sheet of paper but knowing how messy and disorganised I am, I've lost it. I compiled this about a month ago, before I lost it so uh, don't expect frequent mixtapes?
