Thriftin' them treasures: Vintage books and bag

After much fiddling around, I managed to get my phone photos up into my computer. It usually doesn't take this much effort, I'm not sure why it is this time. Anyway, the point of this mini rant is that I've been doing a lot of op shopping lately and I'm so proud of my findings. THANK GOD FOR THE EXISTENCE OF OP-SHOPS.

I scored a couple of books;

- An Esquire Treasury

- Home Nursing

- Midwifery for nurses

all for a dollar each! I'm pretty fascinated by vintage medical imagery (medical imagery in general) and I was pretty excited walking home from the Op shop. Another thing I love about buying old books is that they almost always have their owner's name and address written in cursive on the front cover. Its like a story in itself; imagining the life that its owner had.

And I got a 60s style cosmetics case which I plan on using as a normal handbag. I don't have many girl-y handbags so it kinda gave me a reason to get it.

The good stuff: Holidays

I love the holidays; there are less deadlines and more time to relax and do nothing. Unfortunately, this will be short lived, and so I am trying to make the most out of it. Not too much though, because then it would defeat the purpose of a holiday.

Things I want to achieve in the last months of 2010 (amongst other things)

1. Do more Op shopping (yes, this is actually a goal)

2. Do some catalogue photography

3. Make some more 'cupcakes' ( ahem)

4. Organise and do a photoshoot. (speaking of photoshoots, I saw this beautiful girl today who is the ultimate model material at the pub while I was having lunch with my grandparents.)

5. Get ready for 2011

6. Go to the dentist.

7. Become Supergirl (I KNOW IT'S POSSIBLE! - I was looking through Uni/TAFE course the other day, and I have to admit I want to do SO MANY courses; I even considered a degree in Dentistry. Me meeting the requirements for the course is another matter.)

8. Fix/clean up/clear up my god-awful, painfully slow phone. (I know, I know, its better than no phone.)

9. Reveal my SURPRISE (HO HO HO)

Class of '10

PS I didn't realise how shitty that font thing looked until now, my bad. Haha. Also, it was a shame that some people couldn't make it into the collage. Like me... lolwut. I totally forgot.

The end of Pharm. Sci.

In celebration of reaching the nib of the examination pen, Jia Leng organized a fitting flocculation(HAHA) of the Pharm. Sci. class of '10.

The past three years of my degree has gone a million kilometers per hour and I kinda don't want to leave but I don't want to jinx my chances and end up failing my exam so I have to stay. I'm glad that I didn't go to any other university or to any other campus, for I wouldn't have met the people and teachers that I have, or Matt for that matter.

Anyways, the lunch was great; it was great seeing everyone together again, especially after that long and tedious exam period. I hadn't seen much of everyone during that time.

If someone was going to ask me the question of who I would miss the most, I'd answer "Jia Leng" in a New York minute.

She was the only person that I recognised from life before Australia; I had met her in Malaysia for my matriculation foundation year prior to entering Monash University. And now that we've finish our course, she's packing her bags to go back to Malaysia.

The most intriguing part is that in the past three years I've changed so much and she's still the same ol' Jia Leng I know. Sometimes I recognise the clothes she wears form way back when. Shes seen me go through 2 boyfriends and I have never ever heard her talking about boys or her latest celebrity crush. Maybe its cause I never ask. Haha.

I definitely would want to see her again and I very much hope somehow, she finds her way back her for honors. Or something like that.

... Of course I will miss the rest of you too. But I can just call you up and arrange lunch without having to fly you over here would I ?

P.S I think we should have a karaoke night. :D

DON'T RUN AWAY YET

Hey bros, just so you know, I'm not dead. I'm just bogged down by a lot of things right now. But I assure you, I WILL BE BACK!

And then I will tell you about all my adventures.

In the mean time, I just have to say, Call of Duty: Black Ops was probably made by a grudge holding ex girlfriend who is jealous of her ex boyfriends new girlfriend and is out to turn all males into zombies.
