MacBook Pro

Yesterday my mom got me my MacBook Pro 15". It's my late 18th birthday gift but I don't care. I'm in LOVE with it. I have to admit, Apple products are pricy, but I think it's worth the money. It's surprisingly quick with installing other programs I used to use on Microsoft Windows. The sound quality could be better because you can't really feel the music like on a normal computer with good speakers. I personally thought the 13" was just a BIT too small so that's why I choose 15" and 17" is waaay too big to carry around. I also love how the MacOS X system works, you just have to play with it for a day or 2 or maybe even just one day and you'll know exactly how it works. This is how I experienced my MacBook on the second day lol, but I'm sure it will continue like this for a while. Oh, and I LOVE the fact that it automatically has Helvetica, my favorite font ever. Bye Arial.

Oh and it's Mother's Day! I love you, for everything you've done and still doing for us. I didn't get her a present but yesterday while we were on our QUICK shopping spree of 30 minutes or something, she saw a pair of shoes she really wanted. She thought it was a bit too pricy but I was like.. "Hey, you know what? I didn't get you a Mother's Day present. See it as your gift from me LOL". It helped and she bought them. She'll never read this lol.

We got these two chocolate hearts from two random guys (I think they were gay? 'Cause they were wearing a hat with hotpink decorations on it.) Not that it matters ;)

Pregnant

No not me. My sister Chungmei is expecting her first little baby GIRL with her boyfriend. In about 3 months I'm going to be an aunty and I can't wait to meet my little niece. After 6 months she finally gave me permission to tell the outerworld about it. I wanted to tweet it as soon I heard the great news but she wasn't ready to let everybody know yet. So there you go :)

birthday presents

The other day I got some presents for my 18th birthday. I got them from two lovely girlfriends and they both knew I was totally seeking for some new nail polishes haha! I got a Herôme french manicure set and 5 other nail polishes;

O.P.I - Canberra't Without You
O.P.I - Gargantuan Green Grape
Hema - Wetlook (white)
Hema - Dark Blue
Beyu - 093 Hot Pink

At first I thought it would be like a hell with the French manicure set but I tried it and it was so easy! I'll put pictures up as soon as I'm going to French up my nails again.

These are actually my first O.P.I's. My friend knew how much I loved Chanel's Jade (minty colour) and since you can't purchase it in Europe she got me the Green Grape instead. I'm wearing the nude one from O.P.I right now and I love it! Too bad you have to use two layers before it actually covers your nails. And don't forget to use a top coat. I used Herôme's.

18th birthday!

Bro got me my first present:






















And two customers of our snackbar gave me this card:
It says 'You're great!' in Dutch. Too funny!






















And mom promised me a MacBook :)

new shirt

It's cute with a blazer and my black jazzy shoes. It says 'The Stories of Red Lips' but I have no idea who that woman is. She reminds me of Dear John's Amanda Seyfried though... And yes I am cheap. It was only 9,95€ at H and M.

minds

finally the time has come...

That I'm actually going to see John Mayer. I've been waiting for ages for this to happen :) CAN'T WAIT! PS: If you're also attending Pinkpop 2010 and you see some chinese gal yelling, screaming and crying... it's probably me.

chocolate fondue

Me and my girlfriends made a chocolate fondue last night. It was delish! Too bad everybody was full and got sick after 3 pieces of fruit with chocolate ;) We still pushed ourselves to eat it though LOL. After that we watched some porn (don't ask :D) and we stayed up till 04:30. #nowplaying craig david - awkward

friday i bought

these babies:





and the best part: I only paid 24,50€ for everything.

song of the day

You need a friend
I'll be around
Don't let this end
Before I see you again
What can I say to convince you
To change your mind of me?

I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm going to love you more than anyone

Look in my eyes, what do you see?
Not just the color
Look inside of me
Tell me all you need and I will try
I will try

I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm going to love you more than anyone

Free for you, whenever you need
We'll be free together baby
Free together baby

I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body'll be free
I'll be free for you anytime
I'm going to love you more than anyone
I'm going to love you more than anyone

new years resolutions

I personally don´t believe in new years resolutions, but I still think this website is worth taking a look at & maybe even do them!

hong bao

So there's this Chinese tradition that if you're married you have to give your family HONG BAO on new years eve. It literally means 'red package'. Basically people put money in it and give it away to relatives and it also says good luck.

My mom totally forgot that it was already 00:00 2010. I gave her a hug and told her happy new year, AND where's my hong bao?! She forgot, but she left it on my desk this morning :)

Do you guys have any traditions on new years eve? Tell meeee! ;)
