GELATO-GELATI IS BACK...AGAIN

Due to numerous requests, I've decided to resuscitate and reopen my blog again.

I shall start the new year, my new post with some questions and answers.

Q: Silly girl, why haven't you been blogging for like..MORE THAN A MONTH?

A: Well it's because I've alwaaaaaays wanted to blog about my europe pics, and as most of you know, I took like more than 4GB of pictures when I was back there. and honestly, even till TODAY, I haven't really taken a full look on those pictures yet. Why? cause -

there are just tooooooo many pictures to look at and after a while you'll just get bored of it. Even if I looked at it, I was just scrolling through it pressing the right arrow button one after another. I attempted to pick the best pictures of each countries to blog but in the end, I failed. Why?cause

THERE ARE TOO MANY PICTURES FOR ME TO COMPRESS. And obviously I can't just upload the original file because each picture is like 1500KB or more and it'll take too long to load. So in the end, two answers for the question = lazy + long.

Q: You're such a lazy pig. So I guess you've been just laying around all day doing nothing during the holidays?

A: well not really, ever since I came back, I started handing resumes to all shops in box hill and westfield, after a week, no news. So I decided to try out Melbourne Central. And obviously, my first priority would be a MAKE UP SHOP! and God knows me best to give me the job two hours after I handed in the resume to my boss. And yes I've been working in the Face Shop for a month now. I really enjoy my work. It just doesn't feel like i'm doing the same thing over and over everyday. Everyday different ppl will come in and ask different questions about make up or skin care products, and as usual I really enjoy putting on make up for ppl and selling it to them. I think I look forward to go to work more than I look forward to go study methods or chemistry back in BHS.

Q: Well no more BHS for you anyway! Which Uni and what course are you doing now?

A: I got into the Course that I've always wanted since Year 9- Commerce in Uni Melb double major accouting and finance.

For the past few weeks I haven't really got into the "excitement" of starting a whole new uni life cause the routine of my life was just wake up- work -practice driving- dinner- study japanese- watch canto shows-sleep. But after O Week and buying all of my uni books, I am actually getting very excited to start uni next week. I've been looking through all my accounting and economics textbooks and besides the probability bit, everything looked so interesting and fun and man I really can't wait to learn all of it. And yes talking about Japanese, I decided to pick it up cause I really wanted to learn a new language. Being a multilingual person myself, there is no doubt on my interest in learning new languages. It was a choice between Jap and French, and after many advices, I decided to pick up Japanese first and maybe French in a few years time IF Jap goes well.

Q: Have you started learning Japanese then? Do you enjoy it

Yes this sounds silly but I've been trying to learn Japanese through YOUTUBE. There's this reaaaally good japanese learning program called "Let's learn Japanese Basic" that teaches you how to both speak and write japanese. Although it's like a reaaaaaally old program from the 80s, it's still very usefull as they teach you in a way where if you know the structure, you'll be able to ask any questions you want.

Q: So update us with more things!

A : Basically, within this month, I

1. found a job

2. cut my hair

3. made new friends
4. learn jap

5. bought a new ninewest hangbag

6. bought alot of new jayjay clothes and temp dresses

11. miss my bestfriend- gone to sydney , promised her to dedicate a post for her which i will soon

12. miss my beloved coussssssssin who left to Malaysia/Singapore for good- the house is sooooo

empty without you now

13. got into the mood of playing Pc games again, So i bought two games from EB Games today- Rayman and Lego Star Wars

14. changed my bed to even more pink and now my bedroom looks even more pink.

15. signed up for tennis lessons with Xinni but never attented a single lesson cause those stupid ppl didn't call us back.

Things I need/ want to get/ do

1. Go for singing lessons

2. get a pink/ good logitech mouse to play my games

3. call up RACV and ask why after SOOO LONG they still haven't contacted me and tell me when my driving lessons are and everything. Might have to find a new instructor.

4. Sponser a kid from China

5. Continue to keep up the spirit of blogging!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Greetings from Germany!!!

wow wow it's nearly the end of my trip now...i've taken like millions of pictures now (had to actually buy one more 2GB memory card) I really want to upload those pictures now but then this stupid computer in this hotel doesn't locked up their cpu thingy so BOO.

Oh well, I'll start uploading it when i get to london in a few days time or when i'm in malaysia in about 2 weeks time. Alright ...just an update...

Day1- London
It's my 2nd time in London now!
The tour hasn't started yet...so my oldest sister was our so called "tour leader" of the day. We took tubes (trains) everywhere to see the good old tourist attractions like big ban, castles, and did some shopping too!

What did I buy? - Nothing! (surprise hey)

Day 2- Paris
This is the day where my tour officially started.. Woke up at 4am...There are 45 people in my tour group..all from different countries...USA, Australia, South Africa and Canada...First day is always quite werid..people think we're non english speaking people from China...but bleh when I start talking they'll know that i'm a true malaysian!

Our tour leader's name is Victor- He talks soooooo much in the bus- This history that history... I couldn't sleep at all...being in a tour is quite bad...unlike schooling, I have to wake up at 6am everyday...listen to sooo many instructions...where to meet what time to meet...feels like school...and when we don't do the right thing..he (the tour leader) gets angry and actually tells us off

Anyway, it was new year's eve and I went to the eiffel tower at night..it was greeat..the lightings comes out at 9am, just like those christmas tree lights.....took sooo many pictures...even took one for my softtoy..lol

I know NOTHING about european histroy...absolutely nothing..but after this trip...I kinda have an idea now..at least I'll see Napolean as a great king in France but not as my make up brand now..LOL....

Man after going to paris, I've decided that Paris is going to be one of my choice for honeymoon!
and when guys speak french..they naturally look very romantic and nice..so even if i'm not a guy..I think i'll start taking french lessons once i go back! (oo aand i want to learn japanese too..anyone wants to learn with me?)

Oh yeah I went to see Moulin Rouge today...seriously they dance naked (well topless) in almost every single scene...guys you'll love this...for me...yeah..I enjoy the dancing..the culture..and also it's actually the first time where there are like 50 boobs of different sizes infront of me...great explore...especially those with fake ones...i feel like laughing...nah but seriously even gay guys will turn straight after watching this..

Day3- Christmas in Paris!
Went to the eiffel tower agaaaain....but this time I actually went all the way up to see the whole of france...it like a dream...maaan..i seriously hope i can start posting pictures up now...it doesn't sound nice when there's no pictures on my blog- and what? how can there be no pictures in gelato-gelati...it's usually pictures more than words!lol

Didn't shop at all so money spent in Paris= $O

Day4 Switz
Went up to the alps....it was sooo beautiful..had snow everywhere...took great pictures..had great exercise climbing up the mountains as well!
People say yeah yeah this is the place to get watches cause most of them are manufactured from here but oh please it's a waste of time...you can get the same thing with the same price in Australia...but my mum bought a CK watch just for the sake of getting it cause her old watch ran out of battery but oh well so long she's happy.

I HAD to spend money in switz cause I ran out of memory space on my camera after 4 days...

so money spent so far= $50

Day 5- Milan
Milan..the shoppnig paradise! sounds like a place where gloria will have lots of fun in...but NO...we were only given like 50 minutes to shop and bleh dad decided to buy mum a gucci bag and sister bought a wallet for herself but seriously all these shops here are sooooo unaffordable for me...

Money spent in Milan= $0

Day 6+7 - Rome
Rome is one of the most boring place ...for me... Besides Michelangelo.. I didn't really enjoy the romans history/ancient buildings there...and why? cause I didn't pay attention in Year 8 history class lol..i had mrs warmsely okay..

Went to the sisten chapel which was greaaaat...Michelangelo is just soooo talented...the V something musuem was..."okay"...and the colesium just makes me feel like watching gladiator again! Went to this underground 2AD tomb which was quite scary..

and lastly went to trevi fountain and made a wisssssh!

Had a pizza party dinner today with italian musicians around... it was a great party cause this is where i got to know those people much better...and after 2 hours...we became great friends!

and yay I finally bought an affodable brandless handbag from rome!

Money spent in Rome- $30

Day 8- Florence
I"LL NEVER GO BACK TO FLORENCE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE...CAUSE GUESS WHAT HAPPENED HERE? I GOT PICKEDPOCKET! SERIOUSLY I WAS SO PISSED OFF...ABOUT 200-300 BUX GONE....(dw pris even if your money is gone i'll still get you your foundation) CREDIT CARD GONE, ATM CARD GONE, DRIVING LICENSE GONE OMGOSH I CAN'T BELIEVE IT... I WAS SO ANGRY BECAUSE I'VE BEEN SO CAUTIOUS WITH MY BAG THROUGHOUT ITALY, I NEVER OPENED MY BAG (besides taking my camera out) AND I ACTUALLY "SANDWICHED" MY BAG SO TIGHTLY IN BETWEEN MY ARMPIT..WATCHING EVERYWHERE BUT STILL I'M THE UNLUCKY ONE ...STUPID PEOPLE. BLEH I WAS JUST SO ANGRY THAT DAY.

money left= $0

Day 9- Venice
After that incident...I was jut so moody in the morning...not wanting to do anything...but after steping in to venice..I started smiling again...it gives me this peaceful feeling ( i was in a small town called burano with only 1500 living in there).... with all my money gone..i could only afford to get myself some murino glass jeweleries with 15 euro in my pocket...

Sat on the gondola at night... it feels soooo romantic...with music and everything ...man Venice is another place for my honeymoon.

Spent new years eve in Venice...and because as everyone know that their main transportation is boat and ferry...we couldn't get to the city area for countdown...

but stayed up to party, countdown with my new tour friends from all around the world..they're all about the same age so it was great! Glad I made so many new friends here... This was also the day which I drank my first full glass of alcohol! and why? It was just a coctail...and it was sweet....but my throat started burning after that..

Day 10- Austria and Germany
This is where I am now- Germany. Stopped by Austria for a couple of hours to see the snow and sat on a horse carriage ... Going to continue my germany trip tomorrow...and because gladys is nagging at me now..I have to go.

More news and pictures to come!

Happy new year to all!

and xinni, happy birthday for yesterday just in case you didn't get my sms (have fun in Hong kong man! you'll be shopping much more than me here lol )

I'll be back real soon, will post up some pictures on facebook later too.

Another 3 more days and there comese to the end of my trip, will be going to spain and london alone as a family, and WOO HOO SINGAPORE NEXT! can't wait to go singapore to buy shoooes...and most importantly...affordable shoes!

Really miss you all,
love,
glo with an empty pocket. =(

Greetings from Malaysia

Hello my dear loyal blog readers,

I just arrived in Malaysia not long ago. Still in the airport now..waiting for my transit plane to UK. Got upgraded to business class woohoo!- that's why I had such a great sleep just then. They served us with great food as well- had satay, veal cutlet, pies, salad, chocolate cake and garlic bread. But what I miss most is my miloooooo iceeee which i'll grab it later after finish blogging.

I watched hairspray on the plane which is SOOOO BAD, okay fine not like SOO bad but BAD it is.
So my advice is- please do not consider renting it from blockbusters when it comes out.

In about two hours time, I'll be heading off to UK, loooong flight for me today. There's nothing much to blog about Malaysia since I have been here for only- an hour now? But few interesting things happened.

At Melbourne airport...I wanted to get my phone roamed. So I called optus customer service and waited for soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long...and still, no one picked up.
When I reached the customs place, I seriously didn't know that phones are not allowed, but as unlucky as I am, the optus customer service guy FINAaaaaally picked up my phone after half an hour of waiting BUT as he picked up- the custom lady went- PLEASE PUT DOWN YOUR PHONE NOW...I said...wait a minute...dad said...go behind and talked...and so, I started walking behind....

Custom Lady: PLEASE PUT DOWN YOUR PHONE NOW..I SAID NOW...HELLO YOU LISTENING TO ME?

Family members: aiya put down the phone la GLORIA PUT DOWN THE PHONE...

Me: can i get my phone roaming this phone my number is 040...

Custom Lady: EXCUSE MEEEE..

Me- *puts down phone*..

maaaaan SO UNLUCKY...

so yes- got told off quite badly by the lady...she said i was so rude and inrespectful..- a great start for my holiday.

but OH WELL....everything's good now after that 7 hours flight- and hopefully I'll come back soon with more interesting news about Europe!

and xinni, if i can't get online in Europe - which i probably can't- HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAAAAAN- what kind of shoes do you want for your birthday (just leave a comment) if not I'll just simply get you one! lol

oh yeah MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! and BOO please shop until you drop during boxing day- cause i'll be missing that!

Love ya all,
Gloria
xoxo

GELATO-GELATI IS BACK

It seems like I've updated my blog during exam times more than I updated it after exam.

Sorry my dear loyal blog readers, you must understand that blogging gets a bit plain some times...especially when you're in that "cbs" mood to do anything..such as compressing your pics..thinking of topic...uploading pics etc...

But since alot has been happening, I shall start blogging once again!

Firstly, I want to thank all of you for attending my birthday party, hope you guys had fun that night, cause I certainly did!

Thank you all for your presents too. No surprise, everyone knew me really well and got the make up girl make ups for her birthday. I'm serious. Mirror, Make up brushers, make up bag, lipgloss,eyeshadows,nail polish etc etc. And of course, I, the vain pot really liked all these vain presents! It suits me best!

Here are some pictures from the party.

Being Vain 1

Being Vain 2

Tim- thanks for the cake and fixing up the wii!

Em... has...pink...eyeshadow....on only..one eye. *looks up*

Vickurm gets quite touchy with guys sometimes...but i'm sure we know that he's not gay because....

Prissssey- Thanks for always being there for me!

Zubu decided to be Tim's tail for the day.

the one and only... Chow family.

Maurice is meant to be on the other side... I'm stating to miss you maurice (if you ever read my blog in 528572 years time)

we added a new move- *walks pass each other* *turns around* then only - OH HEYyyy...*handshake*dangbuku!

Everyone started wiing that night

They wii-ed at my tv

...and on my fountain.

We also had alot of fun plaing taboo and pictionary till midnight! OUR TEAM WON!! (cause Vic, on our opponent team takes too long to draw...eg took 50 seconds to draw a door)

Time to blow the cake..

Now Group Pictures

Once again, thanks for coming guysss!

Last night, on my ACTUAL birthday, my family celebrated with me...once again.

cake time.

I made a birthday wish : I wished that my results will be good enough to get into Commerce in Melbourne.

and after all the hard work...

I did it!

It was much more than I expected it to be.

I wanna take this chance to thank God, for carrying me through this whole VCE year, and now it is officially the end, I thank you Lord for providing me with strenght and wisdom, and most importantly just by having the peace in my heart throughout this stressful time...

I also want to thank my friends and family members, and congratulate many of you on your high achievements! For those who are worried about their uni placements, please do not feel discouraged. Trust in Him, that He will make your path straight.

Lastly, if I don't ever come back to blog this week, I'll probably start blogging about my Europe trip when I reach London. Hopefully. I really don't want this blog to die.

I mean... gelato-gelati, it never dies!

Love,

Glo

(I really miss you xinni...)

Girls End of Year Sleepover Party!

We started up with...

looking at pictures and I know i'm very attractive but xinni..why is your hand in...there...

then teaching the girls how to do the "smoky eyes effect" which both Xinni and I wasted time watching those youtube make up videos till 3-4am during exam period.

the girls stole my maxibon and Melina brought us fish and chips! woohoo

before we went downstairs..

Mish and Xinni, both fascinated by Melina's boobs (they're bigger than we thought)

then... Xinni and I... as usual...got caught up with our make ups while Mel and Mish played manly Ps2 games- Dynasty Warriors 4 and Beach Volleyball.

xinni don't kill me I need to resize the other pics ..i promise you i'll blog it in two days time.

everyone was just doing their on things (more like xinni and I taking vain pictures together)..so in the end..we thought of doing a group activity..

Pictionary!

MELINA CHEATED...she saw the word yet she pretended that she didn't. TWICE.

but Xinni and I cheated as well, we kept on tapping on the sand timer when Melina's group had their turn.

We cheated both ways but our group (xinni pris and I) still won in the end!!! with honour.

At 4am, We started watching Little Mermaid but after half an hour...everyone feel asleep.

but for some of us...we weren't really "alseep"... I wonder why.

Melina slept like a man and took like more than half of the bed lol but luckily she had to leave early at 8.30am. I ran back to my room to sleep afterwards....and suddenly "knockknock"

*Melina comes in*

glo: *oh no*

Oh well it was a greaat sleepover party after all, especially when we could all get together to chat and relax without worrying about..sorry...what's 2x+1=7 again?

All i know is that we had FuuuNnnn!!

loooots of fun

loveee you all. + em

ps. lol xinni, I finally experienced the true meaning of "salang haeyo".
