New Job =)

It happened so fast. Wednesday i was doing an aptitude test. Called on Thursday

What i wore to my 9am Friday the 13th interview before my restaurant shift at 12pm. Shortest interview i ever went to. Offered the job on the spot!

Accepted =) Started on Monday. There was a rainbow on my drive to work =) The day flew by. Boss is really nice, he said he wants me to look forward to coming to work =)

What i'll wear Tuesday =) =) New boots ($89) and bag ($30) from Novo, its intoxicating spending Australian dollars I earned, feels soooo good

The real beginning begins

Haircut ! (Concave)

My Spanish teacher told us about a Spanish event in Frankston. On the spot i decided to go! Alone!

On my way to get there, i passed by a hairdresser. I've walked into so many since the beginning of 2011. The Aussie girl with red and black hair in the cut i wanted, served me. She put down an appointment for me at 4pm even though i told her i'd think about it

I called up my teacher to know where she is but spotted her just as she was reaching into her pocket to answer her phone!

She was happy to see me, greeted me with a kiss on the cheek. Chit chat, and talked to her colleagues as well. They are from Argentina.

She then pulled me over to go see some dance that was taking place. She doesnt know which central American country its from, but it was fun watching

Love how so many people wore hats like that. My teacher told me she needed to go back to her booth and thanked me for coming

The next show was Zumba

They welcomed the audience to try. Shy at first... and told myself i have no one to take care of my handbag as an excuse

No idea what got into me, but i decided, why not just put ur bag on the floor where u can see it and try the dance! U know u wanted to! Thats exactly what i did! Conscious at first but totally did not care in less than a minute. My long hair was all over the place when doing the highly energetic dances!

Thats when i decided. This is it. A nice classic ending to my long hair. I'm going for the hair cut!!! =)

I went to visit my old boss in a restaurant in Frankston, chat a bit =) Still had 30 minutes to spare after that, so i grabbed a bite to eat. Sat at one of the tables and just observed the people around me

Watched the way the old Spanish couple greeted their friends, loved hearing Spanish. Listened to the Aussie tell his friend he practiced his Spanish by saying Gracias when he bought his food

Then it was time! The 4pm appointment

I look so scared! Hahahah. 10 years since i last had a drastic haircut. Even though the hairdresser is a Caucasion man, i felt comfortable. There were many women in this shop unlike another place i previously enquired (looked like a barber, $20). And cheap too $27.50. A mall hairdressing place quoted me $80, another was $45

With another place, i dont know if she said $50 or $15, it was an Asian lady, most of friends would say caucasions dont know how to handle Asian hair. But i was worried of the Asian lady... scared i couldnt communicate with her.

Told the white guy what i wanted, he said its called a concave cut, not the bob cut. He snipped off some of my long hair before i asked "I think its too late but do u think it'd suit me?". Hahha. He said he wouldnt cut it if he doesnt think it suits his customers =)

Shocking when i look at the amount of hair on the floor!!! Even when its fallen, my hair looks so pretty. Look at my highlighted bits... Poor locks.

The cut brings out the highlights i did in Thailand

Exactly what i wanted =) From the front it looks similar to my long hair. Because the front is the same lenght. The back used to be longer than the front. Now the back is shorter than the front =)

Freaking hope no one gives me the dreaded "you look the same" comment

Went to the Frankston beach to feed seagulls leftover bread. It was relaxing =) Treated myself to some caramel churros (Spanish doughnuts) and then headed to the train station

While waiting for the train, i tried tying up my hair. OMG! 3 inch pig tail! I'll definitely miss my comic-book-like one foot long wavey black hair flowing out of the cap i wear at work (i look at myself on the CCTV...)

It'll grow back. But for now, i'm happy. Really happy to have some change =)

Went for fish and chips in Port Phillip Bay after that. Shop named Hunky Dory

With a couple of my Malaysian friends in Melb and a couple of their Indonesian friends =)

Love them!

Appreciate this wonderful Saturday! =) Going to bed tonight smiling!

New Shoes

Used to be a Nike girl but switched to Adidas in 2007 =) My old pairs failed me after a good 3 years of work. Time to get a new pair but ended up with two !

Fell for the buy-one-get one-half-price gimmick! Love!

I wore the dark pair to the gym and the Aussie Chinese girl next to me said "We have the same pair of shoes!"

I was like, "Heyyyy yeah, we do!!!" =) Hahha

Shoes in my closet

Wayyy back when i was in Melbourne, there was two warm weeks in August-supposedly the coldest month. Red boots were reduced to AUD 10 !!!

Snap 'em up wei! =) I've also got flat green elf boots too. Hahah. Last wore these red babies for the Wild Wild West Night

Also in 2007, i bought these glittery pair at half price!

Last wore them to this Karaoke session with colleagues =)

Really sweet, really lady-like and un-Sue-Lin-like shoes

Bought them in 2006 from Vincci cuz they were cheap (my weakness) and havent worn them yet...

Another pair from my college days

Still love the colour but my taste has changed, wouldn't buy a pair like that today

Oooh, these stringey thing! Back in 2004, i waited and waited for them to go on discount!

Worn only once, to the Ausmat awards night. My first ball with E!

Before my internship in 2006, i thought these shoes were formal and bought them for work

Only to find out that in audit firms u need shoes that covers the back/heel. Only worn once, to the interview of my internship

Today i dont think these are nice anymore...

Recall wearing them to the Monash Ball in 2006. If u click on the link, u'd realize my date for the ball wasn't E! Hahah! My guy friend actually asked me to go with him in front of E and then turned to E to ask if it was okay. My boyfriend's cool =)

Never worn these, so unpractical. Just try them on from time to time and admire them! HAHAAH

So pretty, you can tie the ribbon in front too !

Threw out a few that weren't lasting... father has been asking me to start my spring cleaning... its gonna be tough!

Shoe Fetish

My work shoes are falling apart, need a replacement. Ended up getting these! HahahRM64, TCS Shoes

While the sales assistant was getting me size 8, the Bargain Bitch's eyes was drawn to the 70% mountain of shoes! HAHA, i have a weakness for discounts. Picked out a green pair of classics

Guess no one wanted to buy plain, green shoes at RM100? I paid RM30 after less. TSC Shoes. Great for work, easy to put on and slip off =P

Went home to realize, i have another pair of classics i havent worn

Wore them Friday and it hurts. Brandless, RM50 from Sungei Wang

Decided to do a catalogue of my shoes, since i can never remember what i have, and always end up wearing the same old things.

Love the colour, and love the unique strappy back.
Afer 50% discount, paid RM60. Bartic, Isetan, Lot 10

I love shopping there, good discounts, got this pair from there too

Twins, paid RM 64.50 after 50% discount.

Here's one of my few branded pairs

Nine West. AUD40 if i remember correctly, from Melbourne.

The only other pair of branded shoes i recently bought are Hush Puppies, featured here.

In the past 1 year and 8months, i've bought a total of 13 pairs of shoes/sandals! Is that a lot? Judge me! I wanna know

Last but not least,

Not because i love them most, but because the picture turned out artistic! Esarli, RM32 after 40% discount.

Taking the pictures above took me an hour, selecting and simple editing took another hour. Writing and layout took another hour. I enjoy the whole process =) I love blogging!
