Catching up are Good Times

Since coming home from university, I haven't actually met up with my friends. Infact I've only left my beloved house once. Work and job hunting have got the best of me.

However I went round to my best friends house yesterday and jammed and caught up with each others lives. She just recently came back from Canada so her life was much more interesting than mine!! I told her I was considering in going to Canada in September when she immigrates over to Canada permanently and we started chatting about the things we could get up to. Ahhh I really hope I can go and money is not an issue that permits me. I would absolutely love love love to go Canada and be able to spend some quality time with my best friend before I have to say bye for a very long time :'(

So our catching up always consists of watching YouTube videos and playing games and laughing about absolutely nothing, like the good old times. Sleeping by 3am failed miserably as we started playing games on our iPhones and went on instagram.

I didnt take any pictures because we looked a wreck but domo looked highly amused whilst being squashed:

Sorry for rambling on. Happy Easter to you all as well. Sadly I didn't have chocolate to eat before I left them in university. Did anyone receive some yummy eggs??

Easter Egg Hunt

I met up with one of my close friends in Central London today.  I can't recall when the last time it was when I chilled in London, since it's always so hectic! 

As per usual, I found myself running late.  But whilst walking to the train station, along my local park I saw two beautiful ponies.

We caught lunch at Vapiano near Oxford Street and stuffed our faces before we trekked across to Covent Garden.  We went down Carnaby Street where I was ever so tempted to enter the shops and SPENDD!! But alas, my bank account is slowly deteriorating.

At Covent Garden there were lots of eggs!  Sadly they were not edible.  To be honest it wasn't exactly an egg hunt, since all the eggs were placed in one area.  But it was a perfect picture opportunity to capture the beauty of Covent Garden and the artists' work on the eggs.

 

The Big Easter Egg Hunt in London attracted many tourists and children who are on their Easter break.  There's always something going on in London and this is what I have missed about London; the culture, spontaneous life and full of adventures!  Going to University has made me more appreciative of the home town I grew up in, London.

So now i'm back home.  Instead of attempting some work or applying for internships, I am watching The Apprentice (as you do).  Should.Really.Start.Work.Soon. But it's only my third day of the holidays!! Haii =_=

How did you spend your day today?  What do you normally do to chill out?

Take Care!

In the Open

Ever since coming back to London I don't think I had left the house for as long as today and had enjoyed as much fun! Thank you Priscilla for a wonderful day :)

We went to Westfield in London and surprise surprise I was late. I should really ought to be on time next time, I always make her wait ><. Luckily this time she had her sister's company but I should really improve on my time keeping. So we spent two hours in Boots, insaneeeeee!!! We went a little crazy on make up. It was doing an offer of 3 for 2 afterall, every right to be crazy!! Despite spending a huge amount of time in Boots, I also spent an awfull amount of money in there too. Nevermind. Im just so excitedddd for the purchases!!!

So I bought....

This is a face scrub that is formulated to be gentle on the skin. Especially useful if you have sensitive like me. It contains exfoliating beads to literally scrub away dirt on your face and enable new skin to regenerate. Hopefully it does what it says, I need to sort out my blemishes and acne big time

Now for make up, the GOODIESS!!

I bought this cream blush by Max Factor in soft pink. A majority of the brands failed to deliver a cream blush, all had power formulas and it just wasn't what I looking for. Walked around in circles and saw this. Still yet to try it on my skin.

Revlon Lipstick in smoked peach. This is a matte formula compared to their rich moisture products. I don't personally wear that much on my lips but I guess it deserves a bit of colour so I purchased this. It has a slight shimmer to it (sigh), but hopefully it doesn't make my lips look greasy and big compared to the others I purchased in the past.

Barry M Nail Paint in Mushroom colour. The first product I picked up, I am slowly beginning an obsession with nail varnish. I was never a nails person but it is literally so much FUN when you're painting you're nails. I sometime wish I had more fingers for that reason. Am so so excited to test this colour.

Bourjois Paris Nail Polish in Bleu Asphalte. One nail polish would just not be enough. HAD to buy this one. Love the colour and also cannot wait to paint with it. Maybe I should alternate the colours when I paint on my nails. How cool would that look?

Revlon ColourStay in Lavender Meadow. Have wanted a purple eyeshadow for a while, so thought to purchase this because it is a quad set. So blend blend away.

MaxFactor Loose Powder in Translucent colour

.

Bourjois Paris, Felt-tip eyeliner. Hopefully it is 24hour stay like it states!

So those were my purchases for the day. Am pretty pleased with them all and hopefully its result matches. Please be aware that I am not affliated with any of the brands. Everything written here is of my own opinion.

Sorry if this post has bore you, was quite excited with the purchases and wanted to blog about it.

Royal Wedding this friday, cannot wait!!!

Much Love,

A View from my Window.

I love sunsets, I prefer it compared to sunrises. Preferably because I am more of a night person. The sunset marks the end of the day- whether it was a stressful or relaxing day it is a time to reflect upon the day. Not too great if you wake up late.

I managed to catch the beautiful sunset through my window. The sun does wonders :)

Hope you enjoy the photos and love the sun just as much as I do.

Much Love.

A Weekend of Reunions

Firstly, I would like to say a big happy birthday to two great friends from uni, Alice and Haz, hope you both have an amazing day!! It's been a great pleasure knowing you both!

So my weekend? My weekend started on friday!! It was a weekend of reunions, saw friends I hadnt seen for months and even since last summer.

Friday started off at Buckingham palace, it was beautiful to view London on a sunny day. We were blessed with a week of sunshine and it was the perfect time to make the most of it. Im glad I had the opportunity to experience it.

We went to the Science Museum in South Kensington, it brang childhood memories back. When I was younger, we use to go on school trips to the museum. You would of thought the novelty would have worn out by now but it was still so much fun! We also experienced going to space and had water sprayed in our faces.

Some silhouette photographs.

Went out for dinner on saturday with another group of friends. We had thai food, it was really nice however over priced and my belly was not half filled at the end of it. However we did have a cheeky dessert after it, I guess this is what I miss from being in London.

Lastly on Sunday I went to the pub to meet a few friends I used to go school with. Last time I saw them was in February, was absolutely a pleasure to see them all again. You dont notice time flies until you see them and how much you actually miss their presence until you experience it. Having given up alcohol for Lent, I obviously was not allowed to drink but I still had just as much fun as everyone else. On top of that, we played football. Well I just stood around while they played because I was wearing very unpractical sandals! However the sun made up for it.

I am building an interest in photography and obviously with the sun around, I made the most of it with my little digital camera.

Speaking of which, I have been trying to save up money for a SLR. Hoping that one day when I get it, it will be the beginning to the journey for my photography. However being a university student, it is not easy to save money. I have been asked numerous times why I should bother spending so much on a camera when I have a digital camera. Well it is something that only a photographer can understand. There is more depth to a picture than its surface. People who appreciate photography read beyond the picture itself. It is form of art that I wish to pursue in my lifetime.

Thank you for reading.
