28th August is a day where the public raises awareness of Cancer and its harm as well as a chance to donate the Cancer Council to help fund for cancer research, support and prevention.

The ads I've seen while commuting to school really did hit me. On buses and on trains, it read "one in two people get cancer". I've known a few people whos lives had revolved around cancer and in a way being their friend I've 'passively' shared their emotions, seen what they go through and even while studying about the human body at school, it really is a scary thing. Its even scarier because there is no cure for it.

I did my part in donating to the Cancer Council to receive this:

My mum just recently got into internet shopping/ online shopping and is spending money online at an alarming rate. Not to mention using my card for every transaction ( so daddy won't know when he checks her cards).

Today, we spent about $135 (incl. shipping) on bags:


All from Gmarket.com This is a korean online internet shopping website but there is an english translation available which isn't that great but makes it easier to navigate around.

Eversince my friend introduced me to mooncakes, I ABSOLUTELY love them!
So this week I bought a 2 boxes which I swapped around to give me this combination:
- 2 green tea paste 2 yolks
- 1 taro paste 2 yolks
- 1 white lotus seed paste 2 yolks

While munching on my mooncake I've realised I've never really known why around this time of year Chinese (what I assumed) people ate mooncakes. To be honest, I don't know much of my own korean heritage and from memory I've known around this time of year we celebrate something but we don't have mooncakes.

So a quick wikipedia search tells me:

Mooncakes are chinese pastries traditionally eating during the Mid-Autumn Festival. This festival is held on the 15th day of the 8th month in the chinese calendar. On this day, the moon is supposedly at its fullest and roundest. Farmers also celebrate the end of the summer harvesting season on this date. Mooncakes are offered between friends or on family gatherings while celebrating the festival, one of the three most important Chinese festivals. As well as eating mooncakes, there are other cultural and regional activities held on this day.

Mooncakes can be round or rectangular, 10 cm in diameter and about 4-5cm thick. The filling inside is usually thick and made from lotus seed paste but there are other variations such as sweet bean, taro, green tea, mixed nuts, durian etc. The outside is covered in a thin crust. Mooncakes are quick heavy and dense and are usually eaten in small wedges. Mooncakes also contain egg yolks in them to symbolize the full moon.

The traditional mooncakes are imprinted with the chinese characters for longevity or harmony as well as the name of the bakery and the type of filling. For decoration purposes, you may also find imprints of the moon, flowers, vines, rabbits (symbol of the moon) and Chang'e on the moon (from a story of the Mid-Autumn festival)

Mooncakes are considered a delicacy where production is labour-intensive and few people make them at home. Mooncakes can be bought in Asian markets and bakeries ranging from around $10 to $50.

Mooncakes are also associated as being used as a medium to secretly distribute letters by the Ming revolutionaries to overthrow the Mongolian rulers of China during the Yuan dynasty. This idea has been said to be conceived by Zhu Yuanzhang and his advisor who spread a rumour that a deadly plague was spreading and the only cure was to eat mooncakes. The quick distribution of mooncakes coordinated the Han chinese revolt on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. Another method of hiding the message was printed in the surface of mooncakes as a simple puzzle of mosiac. To read the message, each of the 4 mooncakes packaged together are cut into 4 parts and the 16 pieces must be placed together so the message could be read- like a puzzle.

So that's what I learnt from Wikipedia.
Enjoy your mooncakes =)

I've been thinking alot about where I should work lately because I'm running out of money FAST.
I dont like working in fast food so working in the food court was out of the question.
Brewing coffee would be fun to begin with but I reckon it would get boring after a while.
I would LOVE to work in fashion retail, amongst the clothes I would like to buy, my favourite brands, getting discounts and no worries about getting stains or food smears all over your clothes!

But recently in my degree, everythings beginning to become very work-based, what would happen in a community pharmacy setting if some patient came in with this and those symptoms, how would you diagnose them? I was pretty worried that I would be left at a disadvantage compared to those who work in a pharmacy setting every week. Also, because I don't have enough experience working as a pharmacist or even a pharmacist assistant, it would be harder for me to get a placement in my 3rd year or even a job when I graduate. I mean, who would want to hire a pharmacist without any experience working in a pharmacy setting?

A couple of days ago, I applied at my local pharmacy and they did call me back wanting to interview me. As I walked into the store, I remembered that the store manager wore a name tag, I asked for "*name*, the store manager" and that I was here for a job interview. I found out during the job interview, I had gotten her name wrong.

I'm not too sure if the interview went well but they did encourage me and commented that I did pretty good and they would call me if I got the job. So *fingers crossed*.

I always love new and intriguing ideas that come to play in designs of all sorts! It's even better if it involves me getting a freebie or two.

When I got off at Wynard Station today before heading off to school, I noticed a line forming at a red vending machine smack bang in the centre of the station's entrance. I thought to myself: 'hang on a second, there wasn't a vending machine here before.....how can they operate this if there's no cables?'

On closer inspection, Nestle was promoting their beloved Kit Kat with a human vending machine. Once you get to the front of the queue, you receive a free Kit Kat by making the unfortunate yet cheerful man reach for the bar you want- whether if its on the top shelf, bottom shelf, etc.

I love seeing these things in the mornings! It truly puts an end to those boring busy mornings where all you can see are buses taking men and women in suits to work carrying coffee.

My bf gave me a present a coupld of days ago:

Turkish apple and cinnamon tea. It smells like cinnamon but I've never tried turkish apple before so I cant really comment about the taste being close to its description. But it does taste nice!

Yesterday, walking to my bus stop at 5:30am I noticed they changed the bus timetable. I was lucky enough to have not missed my bus since I normally walk out 5 minutes early in fear of missing my bus. I dipped my travelpass as usual, telling me I've used it for the first time today.

However, once I got off the bus, walked to the other side of wynyard and caught another bus to school, I dipped my travelpass in again but it beeped like crazy and printed on the back of my ticket
"faulty ticket, show driver ....."
I thought nothing of it until after school catching the bus back to wynard, it beeped like crazy again telling me it was a faulty ticket! I showed the bus driver my ticket and he said its ok but next time I board a bus or a train, it might not work so I'd have to continually show the drivers my ticket to get on another bus. At this point I was very angry and fustrated having used my ticket for the first time and having to deal with this minor problem for a week until my ticket expires.

I researched on my phone how to deal with this problem and sydneybuses told me that I'd have to post my faulty ticket to some address and if their tests show there is something wrong, I would get a complimentary ticket from them. I was already annoyed by this problem and sydneybuses' solution didn't help either because:
1. I'd have to purchase another ticket ($23) to use for that week
2. I'd have to fill out a form, and maybe even pay for postage (not 100% sure on this)
3. They MIGHT or MIGHT NOT give me a free ticket

When I met my bf in the city, I told him my little dilemma complaining and whinging and forced him to use my ticket while I used his. For some reason, whenever he dipped it into the machine, it didn't beep. That was when I decided to swap tickets with him so that I wouldn't have to deal with such a minor problem everytime I used the bus or the train.

That day I watched Public Enemies with a bunch of people (which I'm not sure if i regret yet..). I had high expectations but I came out feeling disappointed. For me personally, the camera usage was pretty poor giving me a headache/ motion sickness at times. It didn't seem like it was professionally shot and that they were using a handheld camera instead. I saw no character development and it was hard to follow the story plot at times for me to understand why people were being shot ( but I must admit I was soo tired during that movie, I fell asleep).
Despite all the bad things I said, there was some things I did like such as the action with all the gun shots etc and some morals that were perceived during those times.

Afterwards I decided it was time to go home as I felt dead tired and my legs were aching (even though it was still 9:05pm, I had a 8am class the next day and I really needed sleep). I looked at the time and thought I had enough time to reach my bus stop but as I got there, they changed where my bus now picks up (thankfully it was 2m away). But not only that, I read from my old bus timetable saved on my phone and the new one said I had missed my bus by 15 minutes and must now wait another 1 hour!!!! It become the most long and annoying long one hour of wait I had ever experienced- also trying not to fall asleep.

In conclusion: I HATE PUBLIC TRANSPORT!
I also did learn how stubborn I am to changes which affects my personal life - humans are selfish beings~.

edit: they changed my beloved bus to an ALL STOPS BUS (previously it only stopped at major bus stops) so my trip home from school how takes 1.5x as long!!!!! >=[

Australia's winter is the most annoying weather I've experienced. It doesn't stay one constant temperature. Whenever you think of winter, you think it's going to be cold so we dress warm, wear layers and make sure to stay away from the wind's icy touch. However, even though it is cold during the morning and evenings, it gets blazing hot and sunny during the day time causing you to sweat if you're wearing too much.

So what is there to do? Wear a thick warm jumper over your t-shirt and take it off during the day perhaps........?- I refuse! So here's what I wore today and made sure not to stay out too late.



I don't like wearing face make up but I do like to wear make up on my eyes.

*Estee Lauder Illusionist Intense Mascara
*Bloom costmetics liquid eyeliner- jet black
*Mac powerpoint eye pencil- white
*Dior black crayon eyeliner
*Estee Lauder Signature Eyeshadow Silky Duo - white and grey
*Clinique Colour Surge impossibly glossy 113- Sugarplum

The weather wasn't too warm but not too cold that I wanted to wear more.

I decided it was time for a change. So here I am with a new layout for my blog- what do you think?
There's a few kinks l'm trying to fix.

Losing money fast and trying desparately to find a job =(
