#222 - Fever, not in the literal sense

 Max Brenner: first time eating there, and it wasn't really worth it.  The chocolate souffle was expensive and soooooo rich. Urgh. Completely put off by chocolate now

"EXTERMINATE!"

#221- luxury fashion

^ not that i can afford it T_______________T

anyhow well today bitter and better went on their chatswood date <333
and throughout the day they discussed many things, one of them being luxury fashion especially since they roamed chatswood chase (i love that place!)

also i'm a polo ralph lauren member surprised i wasn't one earlier since i've (me + dad) spent like $500 there in the past 6 months; half of which were for gifts.

anyhow the point of this post was to rant about how some luxury items are not overpriced and they are indeed well worth their expensive price tag. also don't bother complaining because i did say some because there are some things which are overpriced and there is simply no justification.

so today on my 1hr train trip i introduced Better to the brand Hermes which according to dad is the most expensive luxury fashion brand. i can see why when the hermes kelly bag has a starting price of $7500 and yes that is the starting price. if you want other more desirable materials such as crocodile, diamonds then be prepared to spend $$$$$$$ no joke!

basically, all hermes bags are handmade and each kelly bag in particular, is made by 1 individual as in one person works on their own bag whilst another works on another kelly bag i.e. no assembly line. what makes this brand even more high class is that hermes' craftsman have to go through a rigorous training (that goes on for several years) before they even start to make a bag. then there is the bag itself.....
a kelly bag uses lots and lots of leather. (if you want to find out the specifics then click here and this is my source) the stitching is again all down by hand and the thread itself is $$$$$

so all up if you can afford to buy a kelly bag then it is definitely well worth the money because of all the materials and the craftmanship that is involved especially if its almost entirely handmade.

some snaps from todays date:
 meet fresh so big and we couldnt finish it and omg saw some people attacking it solo :$
 ehehehehe playing with food (:

#220 - Cosmic world

Time flies ridiculously fast. HOW IS IT THAT THERE'S ONLY THREE WEEKS LEFT =( On the other hand, really getting into watching stuff, like LOTR (1 film left!). Also saw TGWTDT (Swedish version) on SBS: it was fantastic and closely followed the novel. Favourite fictional heroine: Lisbeth Salander <3

Lisbeth
Oh and why are movies at Event Cinemas getting so expensive for students on normal days?! They offer so many VMAX/gold class/3D sessions for the good movies and for just so-so movies, they offer regular cheap sessions- how infuriating. And to think that back in the good old days, students could watch movies for under $10 on regular days ... >:(

From here, I may be incoherent because I'm just babbling about unrelated topics, but yeah just bear with me!

-Becoming so self conscious about my inability to speak fluently...
-It's funny how we fight...and we don't make up by apologising; instead life goes on and we simply ease back to the way we were.
-No one's replied to my job applications :(
-Google Maps: you are godly in times of need
-Excessive yum cha makes your stomach churn, no matter how good it is
-New found adoration for BBC
-Dad currently is at the APIA tennis tournament since his company is a sponsor- it's pretty cool, as seen below. He got signatures too and how cuteeee is he =D

#217- Keeping up with resolutions

It seems as though I have already neglected my new years resolution >< sorry but I will post more......

Anyhow there's not much to talk about but I have finally received a copy of this math test that i really wanted to do plus I think I know what degree I might want to do. except I'm not too sure about a career but yeah I'm working things out at my own pace. The only problem ATM is that my feet are kinda sore yeah a few people would be like 'i told you so' (shhhhhh) despite this going to city was so worth it because that meant FREE STUFFF (: ahhh life is good
