House Party and Chanel nail polish review

I had a boarding house party today and I enjoyed it so much! (ate a lot...)   There was a lot of food to eat, eg chicken wings, chips, hot dogs... and my favourite is the massive chocolate cake!!  (I even forgot to take a photo for it because everyone was chasing after it!!! XDDD)  I loved it so much because it had something like ice cream and crunchy biscuits (?) inside!! :3 Mmm... I am saaaaatisfied.... ^0^ ~.~

We also had something called 'Secret Santa' in the party that everyone had to prepare a gift for someone... I received a very big mug XD and it's quite nice.    This is the photo:

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON!!!!! @.@ This reminds me the very cruel fact that my exams are coming..... ><''''''''

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, I wore a Chanel nail polish today, which is borrowed to me from Lynn :) and I was so amazed by its beautiful colour!!!  Here are some photos of it! :D

The beloved Chanel logo... *.*


This is a Chanel 515 Pêche Nacrée nail polish!!  It looks really good that it has a peachy/rosy pink colour and has some tiny shimmers inside (almost invisible! XP)   It is also a very elegant colour T^T my hands become so elegant.... :P and I just suddenly become so obsessed with this colour!!!  Lynn, good choice! XD   One problem of this nail polish is that I don't really like the brush... if the brush can be smoother, the nail colour can be perfect! <3



  Another reason I like this nail polish so much is that it doesn't really make your skin look darker, although it's a light colour. :)

Well, this is the end of my post today!  Sorry it's a bit short but I hope you have enjoyed reading it!! See you next time and best regards to all of you! <3

Dumb Ways To Die

Recently, there is a very funny video on YouTube which becomes very popular a while after it's released...   it's called 'Dumb Ways To Die' and is produced by the Melbourne Metro Australia Company.    The message of the video is that people should be more careful and they shouldn't do silly things that would cost their lives.    The cartoon is very cute (though a bit creepy... ><"") and it wins everybody's hearts XD in a sudden... :3    I want to share this video with you because I like the song and I think it has a really good 'plot'. XDDD

Well, here are the dumb ways to die... from the video... :3

1. Set fire to you hair


2. Poke a stick at a grizzly beer


3. Eat medicine that's out of date


4. Use your private parts as piranha bait


5. Get yourself toast out with a fork


6. Do your own electric work


7. Teach yourself how to fly
 

8. Eat a two-week-old unrefrigerated pie


9. Invite a psycho-killer inside


10. Scratch a drug dealer's brand new ride


11. Take your helmet off in outer space


12. Use a clothes dryer as a hiding place


13. Keep a rattlesnake as a pet


14. Sell both of your kidneys on the internet


15. Eat a tube of superglue


16. 'I wonder what's this red button do?'


17. Dress up like a moose during hunting season


18. Disturb a nest of wasp for no good reason


19. Stand on the edge of a train station platform


20. Drive around the boom gates at a level crossing


21. Run across the tracks between the platform



And this is the YouTube official link of the video! :D

Well, this is the end of my post!  Thank you for reading it and hope you like this video too!! :DDD See you next time!! :)

Art trip to Liverpool *.*

I went to Liverpool today :3 (and I got to skip my lessons... XD)  It's a compulsory trip for all the art students in our school and we went to two art galleries in total.    One of them is called the Walker Gallery and the other one is called Tate Liverpool.

Well, let's start with photos I took in the Walker Gallery! :3


?? 0.0 pigeons??


    Before we entered the Walker Gallery, there were many 'pigeons' waiting for us on the roof of the building and outside the entrance :3.  This is indeed an exhibition produced by Patrick Murphy, an it is named 'Belongings'.   There are 150 pigeons on the exterior of the gallery and this is actually Murphy's respond to the Biennial's theme - 'The Unexpected Guest'.   A Biennial is being held this year and this is almost the end of it already (it ends on the 25th of November).  A lot of art work would be shown during this period of time and we luckily had the chance to look at them.  I was also really satisfied by all the exhibitions we've been to as well. ^ ^


The look of Walker Gallery!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here are photos of the paintings inside the gallery, mainly from the John Moores Painting Prize 2012 exhibition. :)


Don't be suspicious... this is really a painting!!!  It is very realistic and you can even see the eyelashes and the pimples XP of this person in the painting!   This painting is called 'Aphasia' and is drawn by a prizewinner of the John Moores Painting Prize 2010, who calls Hu Wenlong, using oil paints on canvas.    This artist really shows his very high art technique in this painting and I am thinking that if anyone can produce something like this in the exam, they can definitely get an A*. ><" 


This is another piece that impressed me very much.    It is called 'The Exiled Forever Coming in to Land', drawn by Ged Quinn (also a prizewinner of the John Moores Painting Prize 2010 0.0), using oil paints on canvas.    This is a very imagery and beautiful painting which has a meaning behind: the white horse is said to be a 'cheesy symbol of death and is loved by fantasy poster artist' and the self portrait (next to the horse) is a portrait of artist Caspar David Friedrich who gives Quinn the inspiration of the building.


This is an oil painting drawn by Edward Atkinson Hornel, one of the 'Glasgow Boys' (a group of Scottish artists combining the ideas of French realist painters and Whistler's use of colour), in 1891. ><  And this painting is already 121 years old... It's very colourful and the mood of it really matches its title: 'Summer'. :D    The two girls look cheerful and cute as well~ ^ ^


This is a 'wall' made by origami butterflies, in remembrance of people sacrificed in the current Afghan conflict on 10/11/2012.    It's called 'The Killing Jar' and is aimed to popularize the Killing Jar project.


This is a 'defaced' sculpture!!    My friends laughed so much after they saw it because it has no face!! XDD


A bird postcard I found in the shop in the gallery!  The two birds are so cute and fluffy~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here're photos we took on our way to the Tate gallery, along the Albert Dock. :)
 





A pigeon... it seemed that it wanted to escape from us!! XD


A seagull!!!  Sooo cute and was not scared by people. :3


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here are photos from the Tate Liverpool gallery! :)

A photo of a girl going up/down stairs made by special effects.    Looks artistic and impressionist! :3


 A steak on a stove!!!  I want to eat it... ><

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Um... here are photos of the view from the windows in the gallery... I didn't take many photos of the art works in this gallery because a few exhibitions banned photography. ><''' :P








My hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream from the cafe in the gallery. Yummy! :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, this is the end of my post!!  Thank you Christy very much T^T for your photos <3 my camera was somehow not working at the end... ><"""  Hope you enjoy reading my post and don't forget to do the survey in the top right hand corner... I really want to know the opinions of you guys... :)   See you next time and best regards to all of you! :DDD
