BBQ at Rye Beach, Peninsula.

Had been planning for this activity for about a month. I always thought that it was a good idea to plan activities way before hand, so that I could just do some research on the place we are planning to go to, read on some reviews, ratings, attractions, etc.

Before we started our journey.

It wasn't easy planning for a trip especially when you are located in a foreign country. But really thank God for making this a perfect trip. This was actually-supposedly a pre/post-birthday celebration for September babies like me, Mai and Tim. Somehow Tim wasn't able to make it. Anyway, all-in-all, this trip was an unforgettable and memorable trip!

Our mid-sem break is not so mid-sem afterall. It fell on the 10th week of the whole semester, which was 2 weeks before exams starts. That's why I say it's not so mid-sem afterall. LOL. So we took this opportunity to have fun under the sun and chillax abit before exam modes ON.

We departed in the afternoon. Rye Beach wasn't that far, it was about 1 hour ride from Berwick. We were welcomed by good weather! *Weather forecast is quite accurate is Australia* Although the sun was blazing, but the cool wind swiped off the heat. Enjoyable weather!

Tony on monkey bars!

and TW's lousy shot for me. 

My nice shot for Mai.

Jeff: I am the King of the...Rye Beach!

Esther is really good at this game!

Mai too...

Hahahaha!! Tw's so lazy he doesn't even bother to move a few steps forward.

Seal!

It was a tiring day as we had so much fun! We ended our day with BBQ fest, but we didn't had time to take pictures as our stomachs were all growling already. Some of us ended our day at Peninsula Hot Springs, it was extremely relaxing and comfortable to get soaked in the warm-hot water after a tiring day filled with lotsa fun! Was having too much fun already, so no more pictures after that.. LOL.

Before we left Rye.

Before penning off, please do enjoy the very last pic in this entry.

Best shot of the day!

Light Ash Hair Colour.

As promised, I'm back with a new hair colour...

After watching Dream High, I started liking Suzy from Miss A. I was going through her pictures in the internet and suddenly, it just came to me that I have to get her hair colour. I thought about it for about 2 weeks, asked some of my friends and family (FnF) for some advice. All of them said I should really just go for it.

So after doing my research on where to get my hair colour done and stuff, I decided on this hair salon. 

On this wonderful day, I walked into the salon. Of course, I was warmly greeted. So I told the staff at the reception what I wanted and showed her the picture and a brow dye. She then explained to me that the colour tone was light ash colour. However, if I really wanted to get the same colour effect, I'll have to bleach my hair. They also nicely explained that I could just dye without bleaching, but the effect wouldn't be as nice.

Worrying of my spilt ends, I decided to just chop off 2 inches of my hair and start the whole process. So she introduced me to my hair-stylist for the day, Alex and so we started the hair-do. Throughout the process I captured pictures to be posted...

Bleaching in the process.

The color of bleached hair.
(I always thought bleached hair is white)

Applying the color.

Brow dying in the process.
It was my first time, so I was super excited :)

Almost Done

The outcome!

Although it wasn't really the colour that I expected, but still this colour looks great on me, don't you think so? However, the staff ensured me that the colour is gonna fade to the actual light ash colour, which would take about 2 weeks or so.

Then I started taking SS pictures sending them out to my FnF. My sister said I look even more Eurasian now. My friend said, it looks like your original hair colour.

The next day continues...

The colour was this light in my room.

The colour in my room is somewhat a resemblance of the ash colour that I wanted, 

but under the sunlight of the day...

Miss A.

Just a sneak peek on my next post.

I dyed my hair! to this colour:

Suzy on the far right.

The colour I want.

 Introducing Suzy from Miss A.

The colour above is the actual picture that I showed the hair-stylist. But there's actually an obvious difference in the colour that I actually want and the colour that actually turned out. According to the hair stylist, as they bleached my hair, the colour will actually fade to the colour above. I shall patient wait for 2 weeks =)

The actual result.

Now I'm super excited about my new hair! I keep getting good comments about it *syok sendiri*

I shall blog about the place I went, and my experience with the hair salon, the process, etc. so stay tuned...

Just a little treat for you readers,

Miss A's new song in July 2011.

and their debut in 2010.

You're very late for a tea party!

as quoted by mad hatter in Alice in Wonderland.

So we have an upcoming ball. Theme: Dark Alice in Wonderland.
check out their website for more details.

I seriously had some ideas on what to wear to the ball. Was I to wear like the white rabbit? Queen of Hearts? Mad Hatter? Alice?
So I searched eBay and these are the results:

Srcew them. Nope, no way am I gonna wear like these or I would end up like a total slut.

Remember, this is a formal Monash ball. Not a costume party.

List to do:

search eBay

virtual shopping

literally shopping

Guess I'll just have to look for some dress online if not then just go city for shopping. 

So the theme is Dark alice in Wonderland. Dark Alice. Dark. How is alice supposed to be dark? in what sense? like wicked? as shown in the videos below? They told me that this Dark Alice in Wonderland thingy is not based on the Alice in Wonderland movie 2010. If so, why do they use the same song as in the movie (where Alice was chasing the white rabbit), in the website as well? Maybe I'm just thinking too much. Cos I still have 5 days left to choose my dress!!!!

This thing is driving me bonkers!

Seriously, the word "dark" alice in wonderland is giving us the headache. and it reminds me a PC game I used to play when I was younger.

*Warning* Wicked content.


I had no idea why have I got the guts to buy such a game. Apparently this was a very popular game in the States and there's a second version of American's Alice McGee coming up. The wicked gets wickeder...

It's so much scarier and gorier this time, but I cant wait for the new game!
