Random Trip Updates

My apologies for the lack of updates, ladies. Just a couple of days left to the Chinese New Year, and a lot’s been going on. Here are a few random bits of my trip so far:

1. Meeting up with a few fellow beauty bloggers at The Curve (TGI Friday’s) was one of the highlights of my trip. It was my first bloggie meet-up, and what a great one it was too. It was so good to finally meet up with the ladies behind the beauty blogs I so often read. And so many girls to share my love for makeup too!

‘Tis a pity Paris B couldn’t make it. Girl, vodka martinis on me when we do meet, yeah? 😉

Bloggie Meetup 9 Jan 2009
L-R: Me, Prettybeautiful, Rinnah, Carmen, Connie, Kahani, Beetrice (missing in the picture was Syen, who was snapped the photo)

Many thanks to Beetrice for arranging the gathering.

2. Sang at my cousin’s wedding with barely any practice before the event. The only time Bee and I practised was in her car. On the way to the wedding.

3. I accidentally deleted this blog, had a huge scare, but thankfully managed to retrieve most of it a few hours later.

4. Met up with my girlfriends and made Chinese New Year ribbon cookies for the very first time. Set up a makeshift sweatshop at my friend’s apartment’s kitchen, and sweated (literally) over the hot oil. But the results were so worth it.

5. Met up with my old classmates from secondary school. Oh how time has flown. Also realised that I actually have a social life when back in Malaysia compared to when in Australia.

6. Had a great time with my extended family at Genting Highlands.

The cousins back together, in a cable car. Hee hee, doesn’t Beetrice looked like she was wearing my scarf? 😛

We weren’t planning on even going to the outdoor theme park. I didn’t know what hit me, but when I saw the spinner and rollercoasters, suddenly I knew I had to give ’em a go. Better to do this when I don’t have children yet, eh?

That’s it for now. There’s more to talk about, but I’ll leave it to when I’m back in Melbourne. And oh my, I can’t wait to show you the stuff I’ll be bringing back too. It’s shopping haul gone crazy, I can tell you 😉
