Saving For SAVERS

Over the past couple of months, I have saved up to an overall amount of Aud 18!!! :) So in remembrance of my teddybank's sarcifiece, Here's a photooo... of my teddybank :)

He's all emptied up now.

Savers

Allan Matt and I arrived at 10ish, and Savers had already been jam-packed with cheapskate mobs like me..

Indian Lady kept smiling at me as I took out my teddybank and gave her... all my coins...

Money spent on clothes today: Aud14.50

It's a date!

If you thought the Ninewest bag I bought was super duper "Can-Go-No-Lower" CHEAP! You obviously have not seen the best of Op Shops yet! :)

This Monday, 50% off all clothes is the cheapest sale of the Year! I have been saving for this moment, Saving for Savers! See you there~

Op Shop Treasure

Ninewest bag for Aud10!

Alongside, here's an awesome video I found exactly 1 month ago.. & I've been checking this video out eversince. Awesome dancemoves, and unbelievable creativity...

That's my secret passion besides Art as my true passion. I guess sometimes, when the day gets gloomy, and the rain starts pouring... it's nice to dance in the rain every so often, in compared to painting quietly in the attic. :)

Little Adventurers

Spontaneity, Spontaneity, & more Spontaneity....



This week is the week for adventures everyone! Not too far fetch yet adventures that challenges.. our... daily lifestyle. Life as a "responsible" teenager tends to get very very dull, maybe lifeless even. What's the point if a teenager scored straight A's and had little or no life at all? That's just depressing.
Which I'm pretty sure none of the us teenagers are. However, the challenge to step out of the comfort zone can pump up one's adrenaline.. To attempt the unexpected, To cross the line... Is risky but the adrenaline which comes along... simply priceless.
There are afew who would get piercings and tattoos, go on roller-coaster rides just for that sense of adrenaline pump. On the other hand, there are those like me... fascinated over the most insignificant things. To ponder upon the beauty of life...


This is the Glen Waverley Route. As for our "little adventure week" We've visited all the blue shaded area today! It was rather fascinating to visit places we never knew existed. Some were the ultimate "hole" and others were... rather interesting. :)

Our usual Hang-out, GlenWaverley. This photo was taken while waiting for our 753 bus to Boronia. There's two Opportunity Shops that has yet been visited at Boronia. Evidently they were reasonably big, and filled with good-fines. Hidden Treasures they are. Hence, Boronia Salvos is definately worth revisiting again... :)

Darren Lalchand and I at the train on our way to...

Mount Waverley Station.

In Mount Waverley, another Op Shop is directly located straight opposite the station. This Op Shop however, hmm is slightly dissappointing compared to the others which I've visited... Don't jump to conclusion just yet though, before judging this book by it's cover... I've once found an Oroton Vintage Clutch bag for only Aud 2 Made with Genuine Leather// :)

The Three Blind Mice on a mission to discover...

Chris Lee "Oh Shit" We're Lost!

Caught the train there and back, and to... somewhere in the middle of nowhere.. called Jordanville.

Random Chinese library that was located opposite the station. Seriously awesome stuff this is. This library was filled with authentic Chinese books, from calligraphy, chinese architecture, sculpture, paintings and heaps more!

The first impression of this suburb was... "what a crappy place to be in" But to my surprise, this library was really one of the most independent, unique libraries I've been to in Melbourne. Despite the limited capacity in terms of size, it truly is filled with... beautiful books.

Sexy China man really is the cherry on top of my Chocolate Sundae :)

We were soaked, drenched, exhausted,& trapped in the middle of nowhere....

On my way to the Wheelers Hill Op Shop, I came across..

1234576542 gazillions of snails. Grr apparently salt evaporizes snails because snails pretty much lives on water.. ladilalalaa Science theory. ;) is better off left unheard. :)

Little creatures... fascinates me...


Wheelers Hill Salvo's.

I've walked a total of 7.1km from my house to school today. :)

Here's another Google Map image for proof. Nothing can go wrong with such technology these days. It amazes me..

Jells Park. ;) Sweet morning breeze, sunny sky and a sweaty back. :)


Holmesglen. :) Before today, I never knew it existed. :)

At a cheap clearance store with snacks below Aud 2, & expiry dates over five months ago...

How convenient :) Surprising it hasn't closed down from selling expired food and beverages.

"Don't touch this" :)

Self-explanatory image. This is another stop at Darling.

No signs of shops, No signs of libraries, No nothing....

Little Adventurers on a mission :)

Year 11 of 2009

It's a small year level we have, in comparison with state schools.Yet it's kids like us that makes schooling life an awesome place to be in. I remember arriving at this school struggling to compensate the school rules of Wavoz. It wasn't much of a struggle, but more of a surprise. With knee length skirt and tucked it uniform, Tied up hair, this reminded me alot of Chinese Goverment Schooling I had back in Malaysia. The contrast was unbelievably shocking in compared to Wheelers Hill. In Wheelers Hill, I was known for two main things, dancing and art. Hence throughout the year, I focused on Art which ultimately was rewarded with the Art award, and Major Winning Prize in the Art competition. Then Semester 2, I choreographed the year level dance along with one of the perfomance in our school production. Despite my short skimpy skirt, short shorts during free-dressed day. Schooling Life was like a breeze, but I remained focus... to some extent. (:

Today, Despite the tight as rules and regulations set out for us.. and the countless detention notices handed out for the silliest reasons. This school has definately shaped me for the better...

& the friends I've gotten' to know, are beautiful beautiful people indeed (:

This is the year 11 Class of 2009.

~Happy Holidays

Holidays keeps getting better!

The holiday just keeps getting better. I guess... since us Year 11s are heading towards the end of year 2009, and into Year 12. Kids are just making the most of their holidays, before doomsville strikes in 2010. :) Here's some pictures from the social lastnight. It was incredible and definately awesome to catch up with old mates again :) As I looked around my wardrobe it was astounishing as to see how little dresses I had, and none of them were fit for Social. Well... more Casual than Social. Hence, I immediately ran to the nearby Salvos and get myself some Op Shop finds. & this is the dress I found. :) (Points at images below)

& It keeps getting better! A couple of them came over to chillax and sleepover at my place straight after the event. :) Potato-couching to the chickflick "Definately, Maybe" was not completely the guy's cup of tea, but I'm sure everyone got some life-long lesson throughout the movie, someway or the other. :) Friends are here to giggle and laugh, to cuddle and hug :)

School's Out,Partay PARTAY!


Here's my outfit for the day

Turning my bubble tube dress into a high waisted skirt. :) Emerald green is absolutely a stunning colour :)
Exams are officially over since yesterday! :) Hence now on till the end of 2009, life would pretty much be.. fun, fun and a whole lot of fun :)
As I glance back over year 2009, I'm absolutely honored to say life's been hectic busy but I'm satisfied with everything that I've achieved.
"Focus" and "Passion" goes side by side
And that is the Key :)

Started the day off with clearing my locker at school, then cleaning my room back home. I should really post up and before and after shots in my next post. :) It will be rather fascinating.
Next was meeting up with mates to Flinders Station and had lunch at Crown's Mc Donalds.

We are a bunch of cheapskates living the life of the "rich and famous", Can't get any posh-er than having Maccas at Crown. :)


Beautiful Liann and I

I've been really interested in art from every culture eversince taking up Art as a VCE subject. How their thoughts and influences are conveyed in their meanings and messages. Different Artists have different approach in conveying their messages through their art. Some are on walls, and others are on the ground. "I want an art, not on the wall nor the ground" -Damien Hirst. He is an inspiration figure to the 21st century. It's amazing to witness the movement of art of our times, Art is beautiful but not everyone sees it.

Catching the bus back to Work. Yes, when I said Hecticc., I truly meant HECTIC. :) Very fulfilling though. So went for Work at Wendy's after.. I love my job, I love stuffing calories into the little people who approaches me. Just kidding. ;) Working at Wendy's enables me to interact with the funniest kinds of people. :)

Customer: "Sherry, I've been here so many times and I've never realised how funny you are"
Sherry: Giggles. "Aw.. thanks" :)
Customer" When I mean Funny, I meant air-headed"
...

Finished work at 6pm, and immediately changed into my previous outfit for Ally's birthday party. Unfortunately teenagers of our age, are sooo unbelievably poor... Only Aud 2 dollars were all we could spend one someone's birthday present...

Aud 2+2+2+2=Aud 8

Awesome. Cakes were on special for 3.98 :) and Strawberries were on special too!

The boys and I decorated the cake, with sliced strawberries along with some stolen chocolate flakes and fudge from Wendy's shakes and icecream. :) Benefits from working at Wendy's :)

Tadaa.. We've done incredibly well in transforming a 3.98 cake into..
A cake made with love. :)
Props to these happy helpers :)
Caught the bus and off we went to Ally's 17th Birthday Party!

Year 11 VCE

It's our last week of exams everyone! Is everyone surviving just fine? Well ironicly, that's the exact topic I had to write on in my English exam today. Survival as the central theme, i think. :) Well it's over now.. Hip Hip Hooray~~ 2 down, 2 to goo :) Awesomeness
While I was finished with exam for the day, it was rather fascinating capturing some shots of randoms studying at the library... :)

Random Snapshots were rather Amusing:

The life of VCE

Screws us all...

& Obviously had drove Jono insane//
Life's been fun, less stress since Art is now over. It's awesome taking a break off Art and focusing on the fun fun fun aspects of life. Friends are truly awesome. :)
But before I blabber too much into.. friends and fun..
It would be my pleasure to take you on a journey of my progression in Visual Communication Term 4 :) A product for the disabled :)
First of, theres Research and Inspiration. As I'll be designing a wheelchair for the disabled AND the elderly.. I kicked off with some researching off the Internet. :)

This skull was inspired by a book on Animals I came across in the library
Morphing #1
Along the side are some designs of the backseat of a chair...
How could I collaborate a comfy seat, into a stylish wheelchair?
Crave for more inspiration.
Inspiration from the water tap holder.
Inspiration from the paper in the pigeon hole.
Here's my first inspiration, of which I've chosen to develop on....
Hydraullic Backwheel, simplistic curve, unrealistic composition
Muck around with different textures possible..
Really, this bit does not have to make sense..
It's the way... a fool thinks. :)
Two point perspective
Positioning of the front wheel does affect the overall appeal. See how the third thumbnail sketch has a sense of Aero-dynamism to the design compared to the 2nd sketch?
Copic Marker rendering, attempting to render different textures.
Stainless Steel
The curve of the wheelchair
Isometric View
Really messy Orthogonal attempt :)
Final render, unfortunately I did not manage to sketch the armrest in on-time. But here it is :)

There it is, a preview of my Visual Communication Portfolio. I love Art and Design. Despite the fact that I am undeniably stronger at Art. I am willing to take whatever it takes to muster the skills of Visual Communication. :) Therefore, I will appreciate the Aud 900 scholarship to UTAS (University of Tasmania) in January 2010. Absolutely Love love my beautiful teachers...

Mrs Mc Kercher and Mr Martinez :)
