Another good day!

I would have started with "don't leave things till tomorrow" because I could not get up at 6am this morning to do my writing as I have planned last night.  Although I was worried that I could not get my things done and my supervisor would be unhappy with my progress.  But as I got to his place this morning, things went pretty good.  We have the plan for Chapter 4 of my thesis which is a good sign.  He also commentted on my writing progress "it's not that great but definitely getting better".  That's all I wanted to hear at this stage because I don't want to know that I am not improving at all.

I then went to Macarthur Square to buy a few things, well I have not visit here for a while since I started working at The Herb Booth.  My plan was to get a pack of bottled water and a new installment of Vampire Academy series.  However, I got a great catch of things, although I spent quite a bit today.

First I stopped at Ally Fashion and bought 2 coats...OMG they are sooo nice!!  I am very fussy about the style and fabric material for coats.  It has to be soft and should not produce any furry feel after washing.  However, this season coats really captured my attention.  I got 2 military double breasted coat.  They are actually look much better outside than in pictures.  There was another really nice white coat but it doesn't have my size unfortunately :(

I really like clothes from Ally, Valley Girl, Forcast, SES and Bootilicious because they tailored clothes for petite people like myself.  If you are looking for something warm this season, then head straight to Ally Fashion,  they have some great stuffs at very affordable prices.

I then stopped at Reuben F Scarf, a gentlemen's clothing store and got a jacket for my boyfriend and a coat for my dad.  What a bargain because they are having 50% off everything, yay!!  I also stopped at a Homeart and got a  3 piece comforter set for my boyfriend :) It's so comfortable and cheap!

Now let's talk about the shoes department.  I first stopped at Taylor's Shoes and got a pair of red sandles, so hot and the price slashed from $79.95 to $19.95.  How good is that?  I thought that's all but I once again stopped at Williams and got another 2 pairs of boots.  Can you believe it?

Talk about being fussy again, I have been searching for a pair of boots for months, but why can't I find a pair? Well I have specifications for boots.  First, I don't like zipper boots.  Second, the heels cannot be too high or too low, it cannot be too pointy or too broad.  Thirdly, the material have to be soft and the style have to suit my personality.  So when I saw these boots, I have to get them because I know how hard it is to find a pair that I like.  On top of that, the price at Williams are quite affordable too.  Now thinking back I have bought a few pairs of shoes here.  I think this is the only shoe shop that suits my taste.

I then went to Wooworths to get some groceries for the week.  I thought I would have finished my shopping trip because I was so hungry and tired and spent quite a bit for today already.  But when I went past Angus & Robertson, I saw the book I was searching for the past few days.  And oh yeah I grabbed it straight away.  So I ended up with 2 books - Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead and Marie Claire Real + Simple cookbook by Michelle Cranston.

Today I could say is a very successful shopping day but not financially wise :) but what can you say? A girl needs to treat herself sometimes with nice things don't you think?

At least I did get something for my most 2 important people.  Oh yes, I did get my pack of bottled water lol.

So I will be having a new book to read and some great recipes to try out.

Oh I forgot to mention, tonight we cooked something really good too "chicken salad".  The chicken was freshly bought yesterday so the meat is quite tender and delicious!!

I'm having a blast!!

What a wonderful day!

Although, I only had 5 hrs of 'disturbed' sleep last night but today really paid off.

I started the day at 7.30am, dressed up and get ready to go to the poultry farm to get some ducks and roosters.  We ended up with 4 ducks, 4 roosters and 6 dozen of eggs.  Everything is so cheap!

When we got back, we continued to shop for vegetables and other needs for 'tiet canh' aka 'Vietnamese pizza', a famous dish made out of duck's blood jelly.

This was my first time experience in the process of making this dish from the start to finish...and oh dear it was so long, 3-4 hrs from preparation to a finished dish.  However, everyone was very happy and we had a great time!

Beside 'tiet canh' we also have 'bun mang vit' and 'lau', now my stomach is killing me.  Maybe I had too much foods.

I very much appreciated my other half for making today so special for my uncle and his family as today is my aunt and cousin's birthdays as well as my uncle and aunt wedding anniversary.

In the past, I never really treasure moments spending time with my family and relatives, now I know what it feel like.  I wish I could have realised this sooner because this moment is priceless!

Love you all!

Blogging Networks

It's almost midnight and once again I have wasted the whole day configuring my blogs...

Initially, I only want to start with one blog but then I realised I have too many "likes" and I don't want to mix everything up.  So I have a novel idea "why don't I set up a whole network of blogs?"

So in the end I have created 6 different blogs under the name of "tweetie"

1. Tweetie Anime - my anime collections and the ones I have seen and where to find them
2. Tweetie Books - my book collections and where to get the best deals
3. Tweetie Journal - my train of thoughts where I composed anything that I wanted to write
4. Tweetie Movies - my movie collections or the lastest movie I have seen
5. Tweetie Music - my music collections and the best songs out there
6. Tweetie Perfumes - my perfume collections and my favourite fragrances

Alright, that should be all for now.  I better get some work done before heading to bed.

Tomorrow will be a very long day.  Hopefully I can survive after the party!!

This is my first time actually gamble with real money and I won $33 lol...I know it's a small amount compare to a lot of people out there. I don't know if this is the right thing to do because I don't want to get addicted to it. I have told myself never to gamble due to certain incidence...

I remembered once I was around 9 yrs old, we were refugees in the Philippines. One day, after school I stopped at one of the street stall and played something similar to instant scratchies. At that time I only have 10 pesos on me, but that 10 pesos means a lot, almost a week of my breakfast allowance.

Anyway, after I lost with the first scratchies, the owner told me to buy more maybe I'll be lucky next time. At that time, I was so young, all I wanted is to get back the money I lost more than winning. One after another, I lost all 10 pesos. I then promise myself never to do anything relating to gambling.

I have kept my word for almost 18 years. I do play poker with friends sometimes for fun but I am very reluctant to play with real money. Sometime we tip in a small amount. As long as non-addictive games then I will play. I only bought lotto ticket once and actually made a profit of $15 but it ended up as breakfast allowance for my little brother.

From my past experience, I realised it was so wrong for an adult to coerced young children to participate in any forms of gambling. I am so glad that we have the laws to protect vulnerable children in Australia.

In the end I decided to cancel my account as gambling is 'so not me'.

Oh well easy money like this does not suit me at all!!

The best thing I like about this is the game Imperial Kitchen aka Meal or No Meal, it is a mirrored version of "Deal or No Deal" game show in Australia from Network 7.

Even though I'm not good with playing games but I still return everyday to participate in it. First is to earn some participation points. There is no way I can win anything as being the top 100 players. But what I really like about this game is the cute animated food dishes. That's all!

Get Paid for Your Opinion

Hi there,

Do you ever wonder how to make real money in an easy way. Well yes there is. With the online surveys you get paid for your time and effort. And of course this is not a scam.

I just found this great website that gives you cash for your opinion on new products, services, and websites. They reward you for each evaluation and survey you complete, and you can even choose to keep the products you review! The surveys are really easy, and the membership is FREE, so what is there to lose, right?

You may think it's a scam. No I can assured and guaranteed that it is true. I have spent the last few days trying test if earning money online is possible. Usually I think they are all scam. I have stumbled on a few and this is the only one I found so far that paid well. The best thing is it does not charge any money to join not like some other websites asked you to pay certain amount to buy from their tips and tricks. So why not try it out.

P.S You need a paypal account to get your money deposit.

A touch of online trading...

I have always heard about shares and online trading but never actually spend some time to find out about it.

The common website I have seen one of my colleague visited is "asx".

I can't remember what and why but somehow I went onto the asx website and started to sign up as members. Since then I started to read about share market, online trading, dividends, share broker etc...it was actually very interesting.

From looking for a share broker I entered the CommSec website and learn a bit more about their online trading business...

I don't know how but I got carried away to credit cards.

Although, I have wasted my precious time for writing my thesis, I somehow learn something about the share market and online trading with a bonus about credit cards.

Talking about credit, I still have not found 'the one' that is suitable for my need just yet. Maybe I have too many criterias like low interests, low annual fees and good rewards. Well you can't have every good deals in one card I suppose but I will keep looking because I am not in a need for a credit card just yet.

Anyway, getting back with the share business, well I cannot afford to buy any shares at this moment, but I still want to learn about it for now because it might be a good use for later.
