random fact {no.4}

Random fact number four was a stroke of luck for me. My photo is front cover of this year's Australian National University student diary.

 
                   Is it just me or does the purple pickle look like a swollen, um...man-organ?

To be honest, I'm surprise at how sharp it still looks at that size because it was taken with a digital camera.

Being Asian, I was planning to hoard a few copies of the free diary (you know, to send to my grandparents and my parents and maybe one for my dog to chew on), but alas they were all gone :(

On another note, I've got a few updates! :
  • just received the most beautiful wedding invitation card from my cousin in toowoomba...is it odd to want to get married so i can send out pretty wedding invitations too? 
  • i whipped me up a new blog overnight! photoshop is magical. i don't think i can ever say that enough!! haha.
  • i have been running into door frames, walls, you name it. i need to remind myself that doing these kinda stuff is actually PAINFUL! or else...*gasps* could i be growing sideways?? 
  • mindlessly bought two tix to watch the band parkway drive with bff amir at sydney in may, then realised that parkway drive isn't really my thing *facepalm*
  • i didn't mean to be rude by missing out on friday's one day of silence for japan :( i did however make a small donation to the australian red cross.
  • i've got two talks to give next week so i might be a little behind comments. although sometimes i do leave the comments to run for a little while so i don't spam myself :)
This random fact is part of a tag by silvii tron from Evening Lanterns to share seven random things about myself, and I am more than halfway through already! See {no.1}, {no.2} and {no.3}! :)

I'm off to have some time to do the whole zen thing to keep my life in order...that, and to catch up on sleep from watching too many late night episodes of House M.D.!


With love as always!, xo

Ooh, like the new look! And I have been bumping into things lately as well, been wondering what was up with that...now I am kinda relieved it's not just me! haha Happy weekend!

Congratulations on your Photo being used for the cover of the school Journal! I wish you had been able to snag a few for your family, but I'm sure they are proud even if they didn't get a copy. And your totally right about the pickle.

said...

Oooh happy! That's a great photo. Never underestimate what a digital cam can do! :D

said...

What a lovely cover. My uni has a hideous one. :-P I tend to hit into things sideways as well but I think that is only because I walk with my hips if that makes any sense?
No problem. Your blog is a pleasure to read. Thank you for the shoutout!
Xx, K.P.

And about the thrift shop, it's in Amcorp Mall PJ. Too bad Malaysia only have a few good thrift shops.. But the next time you in KL, must check out the that thrift shop in Amcorp Mall.

How long have you been in Australia, Yileen?

said...

LOL omg amcorp mall ftw! Oh lovely picture I might add ;)

I missed out on Friday's one day of silence too. Had no idea until later. I had a post scheduled that day and didn't get to be online till much later in the evening.

Nice blog! :-)

wanting to get married because of wedding invitation? perfectly normal! I myself want to get married so bad only because of the prettily-styled party I imagine I'd have,, hahaha..

Hugs,
The Picnic Girl

liling t.
I took it with a 10 MP one, which is as high as that of my SLR. Teehee :p

K.P.
I've always tried to walk with my hips. Reckon its kinda sexy when I see girls walk that way. Five minutes after trying I'd forget and walk like a hooligan again! Lol! You should so try for the uni cover! Your photos are amazing! :D

Amelia IrreplacableDude
Absolutely! :)

katieleigh

Thanks for your support, Tiq! :D I've been to Amcorp mall once or twice but I have never seen that store before! I must have a better look next time. It will be a full year I've been in Australia on the 3rd of May! :D

Hi Kaylia!! They're renovating Toad Hall right now and building a new Biology building. Oh, and we a got a brand new Vice-Chancellor last year. Other than that, I don't think much has changed! :)

Thanks babe! BTW, did I tell you I winged that talk like a pro? LOL!

Odd Sundays
I keep my old diaries too!! I've always wondered what it would feel like going through those diaries when I'm 50 years old or something :)
