a weekend of shopping

The weekend is going by a little too quickly for my liking.

Yesterday, I was at this semester's Freshmen Lunch. As part of the student council, I kinda had to be there anyway, but the department also wanted to acknowledge our award, so they had a little prize presentation. I'd like to say that I don't really care what they gave us cuz it's the recognition for our hard work that matters, but seeing as how we managed to predict exactly what we would be getting (a Parker pen from HELP)...here's hoping for a leeetle more creativity next time. Apparently, we're getting book vouchers worth RM150 with the actual award (the thing is next week).

I just looked at my table and it's still there, sort of in the wrapper. It's got such a long name - The University of Queensland Award of Excellence for Second Year Bachelor of Psychology Program.

The other day I was in Midvalley and I fell in love with this top in Dorothy Perkins. It's ridiculously overpriced, but I tried it on and I was gone. I told my mother about it and she just laughed at the price. But later on, she said I could have it if I wanted, as a reward for the award. So yesterday, I showed it to her and had a proper look at it again. And we ended up getting it :)

I just got back from the house of a family friend where a little exhibition of sorts was being held. They get things from India (clothes, jewelry) and invite everyone around. I found this gorgeous white top with gold print and little lines of sequins around the neckline. I love.

The title of this post makes it seem like I did nothing but shop, but that isn't at all true. I so wish it was!!

neither awake nor asleep

I'm lying in bed listening to gorgeous new music (Sober by Kelly Clarkson, Apologize by One Republic & Timbaland). I had to wake up really early today, and it's all cool and cloudy now. Perfect stay-in-bed weather.

My last midterm was on Tuesday. I did absolutely nothing yesterday, and it felt a bit strange. Apparently, lots of people are skipping our 2 o'clock class. I don't want to go either, but I don't want to skip another class.

My mum, brother and I had dinner at Friday's the other day before watching The Brave One, and I made a new discovery - these little macaroni and cheese things. They're coated and fried, and they're completely amazing. It's on their 3-course meal menu. I wish it was on their normal menu. Three courses is a lot of food. For dessert, we had this cookie (except it was more like a cross between a cookie and cake, with chocolate chips) and ice cream. That was pretty good, too. Def. better than their brownie thing, and a nice change from Chili's chocolate cake ice cream heaven thing.
