金都餐廳餅店 [PLOG]

Weather's starting to get warm in vancouver,

YAY. so today went out with parents and bussed to richmond.

My mom wanted to go eat @ 金都餐廳餅店

on Alexandra Rd.

I went there like 3 years ago with friends and i remember the food as pretty decent.

When we got there it was busy as hell...

we waited about 15min for a spot and we got the levitated corner hahaha.

talk about feeling special.

we ordered the 金都無敵全餐,

which is basically 2 choices of appetizer, choice of soup, garlic bread,

one main course and drink included for $11.95

pretty decent cause of the portions for the food.

cause in vancouver a lot of the restaurants are at minimal satisfaction level.

either too greasy or too much msg or too salty.

afterwards i bought some pastries for our afternoon snack.

got some egg tarts,  老婆餅， coconut cream buns.

overall i can say the place is worth going to if you're looking for something to munch on,

it has alot of inexpensive things on the menu.

and might i add the chinese pastries are pretty good there!

but don't be expecting great customer service,

people are whipping in and out and the waiters/servers are busy as hell.

Derpadoodle

SO BUSY THIS WEEK OMFG.

tests, assignments, blah blah blah.

everything is getting thrown in next week too QQ.

fun stuff...

i had several "projects" due this week, and i got a final next week,

then a ap exam the week after.

MURDER ME. LOL I CAN'T WAIT TILL IT ENDS.

and i've been trying out random makeup styles cause i'm that bored.

some vkei and twiggy :]

and i finally finished my jewelery project! HIP HIP HOORAY!

yeah after these two weeks i should be active again on here ;[ 

！加油！

Review: Garnier Belle Color 51 Medium Ash Brown

My roots were growing out and the reddish colour I dyed my hair last time was fading.

so i was contemplating whether to go lighter or darker...

in the end i decided to go darker just because i don't want to look too out there.

I usually choose drugstore brands when i want to go darker,

and then i would choose japanese brands if i want to go lighter and have evenly dyed hair.

i probably will not dye my hair again for another 3-4 months.

okay i really hate the smell of this hair dye in particular,

but their darker tones are really good and last a while.

i didn't leave it as long as i usually would,

which would be 40min - 50min.

cause of the time crunch and i get really bored waiting LOL.

impatience is a flaw.

it covered pretty well, my roots blend in with the dyed part pretty well.

when i finished dying it, i thought it looked a lot darker than i expected,

this morning when i looked at it again, i think it looks fine,

a dark ash brown colour.

overall this is a pretty good hair dye and comes out quite even.

REVIEW: Wet n Wild Megashield SPF 15 373S Pink Champagne

I always see good reviews on wet n wild lip colours,

so i decided to pick one up.

i wanted a nude colour however they were all utterly destroyed or gone.

so i went for the lightest pink there is available.

this lip color smells like sunscreen... which is kinda a down for me.

it's a very light kinda shimmery pink, definitely pigmented.

I like that it doesn't flake your lips,

i try to avoid shimmery lip colours just because of that reason.

and it's quite moisturizing and lasts quite long.

but i really really don't like the packaging or the lipstick itself:

A) looks like it'll crack or break if i put it in my makeup bag

B) the lipstick is so soft it'd break if i applied pressure or "by accident" hit it on something

yeah otherwise it's a decent product.

 

REVIEW: Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear 110 Green With Envy

I actually like this green,

however it takes a few coats to achieve the same colour,

the first coat is like a weird green yellow sheer colour which looks meck.

and the 2nd coat starts to look like the green in the picture.

the nail polish is kinda easy to scratch off but a good top coat should fix that.

for $2.77 CAD i guess it was an okay buy.

The BUSY Week [PLOG]

LPI exams to tests...

finally cooling down a tinsy bit.

but the weather is getting warmer and nicer :]

basically getting things accomplished and finished... nothing too special.

AND TODAY WENT TO WALMART AND BOUGHT SOME STUFF!

going to review them now.

Oh stressful week. [PLOG]

My highschool year is almost coming to an end,

but i've been stressing out about a lot of things.

I have an LPI exam coming up on thursday,

2 weeks from now an AP exam...

then a history 12 essay and not even counting assignments from other classes.

GRAH AND THE DAMN LIMITED JOB ACTION IS NOT HELPING ME.

cause i do need my transcripts but it's such a hassle to get marks from teachers,

then fill out a form and mailing it to the institutes... and it's due APRIL 30th.

UGH. FML.

okay that aside, i have to work harder so there may be a hiatus of my blog.

i will try to post when i have free time like today :]

SO THIS WEEK... let's see i went to apply for mcdonalds...

i didn't get the job ;[ i'm never going to get a part time QQ.

then i went to crystal to meet up with my dad and we ate some stuff at the food court.

i keep forgetting to remember the place's name...

but they have the BEST 凍鴛鴦

me and my dad's meals w/ drinks came to a total of 10$

and i made progress on my key ring project,

finally put the key part and the top part together.

however i am working about the rest of the ring,

if i over heat everything will fall apart. =  =

then today i went out to volunteer @ the vancouver sun run.

i had to wake up at 4:50am, haha man i'm so tired right now.

i didn't drink coffee in the morning either.

my bf came and picked me up at 6am,

then we headed chinatown 新城 for breakfast w/ his dad,

when we got there the buns were fresh.

just out of the steamer, i got a 叉燒包。

很好吃！ 熱辣辣新鮮唧包！

his dad got a 大包 and 雞包,

they're huge. and worth buying, $1.50 - $1.70 for one.

i didn't take pictures because LOL i found it awkward to whip out my camera 

and starting taking pictures of one bun,

but next time i go with my parents i will!

so we reached downtown afterwards and met up with the other volunteers

@ the hyaat hotel, got our tshirts and vests,

our duty was to answer questions and direct people to the right colour starting points,

but in the end it seemed to be ineffective as people went where they want.

it was pretty cold compared to the past week.

and ugh i pulled my butt muscle up to my back trying to get through the massive crowd.

Afterwards I got home it was only 12:30pm,

so after a bit I went out with my parents to 裕記 @ Killarney Market.

their 叉燒瀨粉 and 燒鴨瀨粉 one of the best,

for the 叉燒 you can select 半肥瘦， 瘦，or 肥.

then i ordered their milk tea, which was pretty good :]

haha i gotta work out and lose weight, i'm getting fat.

Easter & Grandpa

HAPPY EASTER Y'ALL

so today we went to richmond

and had dim sum @ Empire Seafood Restaurant.

The food was alright, a bit on the oily side.

and lol i spilled my $2.50 worth of COLD SWEETENED SOY MILK

HOW DEPRESSING IS THAT?!

JUST TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE FOOD FML

honestly not much customer service, 

considering they didn't even offer paper towels or anything ;@

this was really good

 Afterwards a family friend offered to drive us to visit my grandpa.

ALL THE WAY IN SURREY.
