But it doesnt feel like its the new year, or that its January already!... i only have 5 days left till im back at uni again!! i really dont want to go back! i havnt done any uni work, i havnt applied for any placements!! i feel tooo lazy i want to rest more!! >.< aiii...everyday i remind myself how much work i have to get done but then i think about the stress and the all nighters i will have to go through!! ahhhhhh!!! i just dont want to think no more!!

well anyway its been 5 days into the new year already...gone quick!! been quite busy actually...NYE was ment to go out into manchester for count down into the new year but i had work and was too late when we got out...couldnt decide what to do because toms friends couldnt come out so we decided to go home but then we decided to go back out to go tai wu just the two of us..had Lobster and a big meal was yummy... on new year day i didnt have work so went to toms...his family was preparing his sisters wedding :)
on the 2nd it was his sisters wedding... i was to help put her make up on and to do some tricks to the groom before taking the bride away :) he had to answer 9 questions and if he got it wrong we made his friends either drink soya sauce, vinegar, eat wasabi or do press ups... at the restaurant i met all of toms family!! was a lil scary didnt kno if i should follow him around greeting all the guests or just sit on my own haha...

its been a while...

its been over 3 months...so sorry i havnt been updating...you guessd uni has taken over my life!!!

remember i said i was going to make some clothes the two weeks jus before i go back to uni and to fix my grandmas trousers...well didnt do any of tht...jus got lazy for two weeks and booom!! uni work jus took over... my timetable is crazy 9.30-4.30 everyday apart from friday...half day friday but i have work after uni... even though the timetable says we finish at 4.30 i still stayed in the studio workin till like 7 or half 7 most of the days...dont get home till 8!! that is how crazy it has been...

iv been eating crap n eating at dodgy times and sleeping dodgy times tht it has caused my health so messed up gained weight and unhealthy skin...i look dead lately. iv been doing all nighters doing my work, like every week i hav two a nighters...44 hrs awake my longest and do it almost every week...so many deadlines!! well its finally christmas holidays and i only have two weeks of..they say 3 weeks but they still wanted us to go in to uni last week. >.<

i was asked the other day design is so tough am i actually going to design after graduation?...i actually paused and thought >.< because of all the stress!! but then again all this hard work is not going down to waste!! one of the tutors made me feel like crap already she said i dont know how to draw and that i shouldnt be on the course...and askd did i come from foundation!! i was soo mad!! yes i came from foundation therfore i put alot of time, effort and money to get onto this course so this is what i want!! if this is not what i wanted i could of just easily down my degree at college or at sheffield hallam wer my friend is and my boyfriend being at sheffield uni >.< why waste an extra year in foundation just to get into salford...aiiii!!

anyway...its been a while...i made a few things in a few projects...have some images but should really get it taken as a photoshoot...

this was one of first had one week to design and make...i kind of rushed this as u can see the design is nothing special...at hand in we was told to lay all our work out and put the garment on a manequine then the tutors will look at everyones and put them in to individual groups n we will talk about the gud and bad...the groups are kind of like grades from A-D...A being the best and D very low...i thought i was definatly going in to D because the design is really boring!! but amazingly i was put in B thts like 2:1...it wasnt the final grade but it was to tell us what standard we are in i was so shocked!! the tutor told me tht it was a boring design simple and too short for a dress...(im short it was perfect length for me) lol but what made it a B is the bubble effects i did on it...to create the effect i used marbles tied them in to the fabric with elastic bands and steamed it. i had to use something from my magazine i did for the summer project as inspiration and i chose to use the egg puffs...

see the resemblance?... :p

ok second outfit was done in 2 weeks and had to include print and inspired by my favorite place...my favorite place obviously Hong Kong...i cudnt think of what to put as the print and even asked around what people would think of when they think of hk got lots of replies but mainly food or shopping..then i thought of chinese people the streets of hk is always packed out and over crowded of hk people...like day and night so i did a print of alot of chinese people... i called it "yellow people" lol

its a wierd combination the waistcoat and the baggy pants but i thought the pants wer cool and feel loose and free the tutors didnt like them >.< haha lol but not surprised it does look wierd. The lining in the waistcoat took me for ever!!!!! got so stressed out tht i didnt bother answering my mums calls and told her to leave me alone...felt bad afterwards though lol...

ahh got so much mre to show and tell...battery on laptop is dieing and its 5am goin to sleeeeeep update mre soon!!

Im freee for once!!!...

First of all want to say happy birthday to my auntie her bday today gona go out for a meal later :)

Happy Birthday Koo Ma!! :D x x

Well woop woop I finally finished my project on TIME aswell think this is the first time EVER!!! :D Just waiting for it to get printed to a magazine now :) uni gave us a website to print books www.blurb.com the website has there own software but i used adobe InDesign instead which was recomended by a friend (Poling) who also studies fashion but at Sheffield Hallam. After completing the magazine on indesign i was to upload it to Blurb.com there was so many faults and had to go through it all again and drived me crazy!! I sooo didnt finish it on the date i set myself but at least I have 2 weeks to relax before going back to uni now...

anyway got loads of free time now and have loads of things i want to do!! first of all dye my hair which im doing right now :) want a dark ash brown colour so i have a Garnier caramel abit lighter than what i want but i have dark hair so i hope it will come out the colour I want.

then i need to fix my grandmas trousers they too long for her... bless her shes shrinking :( i dnt want to shrink when im old >.< then I'm going to make some clothes dunno what sort of stuff yet but will see what fabrics i got :)

need to tidy bedroom and living room oh and wash my car Harry :):)

eek register for another year at uni!! :)

I went to town on Sunday here's my recent hauls:
All from H&M

flower clip/broocher £2.99
hair grips £1.99
eyelashes (Medium)£2.99
just some random pieces i picked up :)

Internet haul:
ebay

fairydrops platinum mascara £19.38
hair velcro grip 62p
I was recomended the fairy drop mascara and i couldnt find it in HK so i decided to get it online this one i got is a platinum an upgraded version of the one i was recomended by a friend but i think this mascara isnt so good. gets abit messy from the bumps on the brush and it doesnt hold the curl to the lashes.

The hair velcro grips i bought some when i was in HK but i only brought one pack and my sister and mum loved them so thought i get more it was alot cheaper online aswell got 4 packs for 62p including post&package $5 for one pack from HK >.<

Well anyway this post is getting long im gonna leave it here now...xxx
