Way ahead of plan!

I thought it'll take months for me to knit a scarf since I haven't knitted anything since junior high. Don't remember that I've finished that piece off either.
Amazingly in less than 2 day it's finished! It's still freezingly cold outside so I can use it directly.

The fringe was really easy to do and it does make the scarf look slightly better.


 And tata! the whole scarf. I'm quite please with this. Doesn't look that bad for the first scarf or thing I ever finished knitting. ^^

Gmarket haul #3

Didn't think I would have time to do this until tomorrow but suddently I have a whole day to kill. Instead of doing this:
I'll do the gmarket shopping report to disract myself a bit.
This time it took exactly two week from ordering to arrival. The box is huge. Remember the box in last haul? Well this one is bigger. So big that I can't get in into my car. I had to open the box at post office, empty the contents and get rid of the box.
I had 20 items on my list. I know that the bags on the right is clothes and the small bubble things are cosmetics from Edude. So let's start with the Etude stuff.




I didn't get much from there this time since the freebies were so disapointing last time. They didn't improve.
The Code B eyeliner was out of stock last time so now I can finally get it.
The ribbon, puffy one is blusher. Haven't open and try on yet.
Since I don't know what's in the small boxes, let's go for them!




Hm did I ordered more masks? I don't think so

The Mask together with the samples were actually freebies. What I got skin treatment stuff from Hannule's red line
Some info about this line from hopeinablog
"This line is a premium care line and is probably the most expensive line in Hannule. It is a skin renewal line, anti wrinkle, anti aging, firming and elasticity line."  

Ingredients in this line are (source hopeinablog):
1) Dandelion Herb – Clearing away heat, detoxicating


2) Angelica Tenuissima Root Extract – which is rich in bio-active compounds such as chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, Z-ligustilide, nodakenin, decursin and decursinol angelate ( yes, the infamous Skinceuticals Ferulic which contains ferulic acid too)


3) Ligusticum wallichii – is a flowering plant in the carrot family best known for its use intraditional Chinese medicine where it is considered one of the 50 fundamental herbs. Contains the active ingredient, Tetramethylpyrazine, which is an antioxidant and scavenges the superoxide radical. For a scientific report , read this : here
4) Artemisia Herbal Extract – has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years as an effective Detoxifier


5) Wild Ginseng Extract – 6 years’ cultivated Mt. Geumsan ginseng
I haven't tried it on yet since I got it yesterday but it smells like chinese herbs.

The next small box contains History of Whoo Gongjinhyang Basic line which is kind of similar to the Hannule above. The golden bags and samples cames as freebies.
I tried the cleansing foam yesterday and my skin felt really purified. This morning I applied the Qi & Jin Cream and it feels quite soothing and nice.
 After finishing needle work for a small cellphone strap last time, I feel ready to take on something bigger so I got a small DIY cushion with the cute Korean couple as motive.

This is actually a re-ordering. I like this kind of shoes and got a similar pair from Zipia last year but I got the size wrong so I gave them away. This time the size is perfectly!



More needle work. I've decide to knit my own scarf for this coming Autumn. Yup, it's only Spring for the moment so that means I'll have plenty of time. The yarn calls Hawaii and should be soft and nice.
I need to look up on the internet how to knit coz I can't understand to knitting instruction they sent coz it's in Korean.






I still can't believe that all the clothes I ordered from Vitamin Girl fits in this one small box but it's actually a neat solution. My shirts didn't get wrinkles at all!
Everything here was inside that box.
 Some close-ups. The jeans on the left hand side is from Baby Jeans
 Last item, my laptop-carry-on-suitcase. This is the main reason why I got such a big box from Gmarket.



Lastly, celebrating the arrival with a lobster! Nah the local shop were doing a good deal on lobster yesterday so I grabbed one.

I won some shopping $$$!

I've been having a pretty bad week so this really helps a lot. When I do my routine browsing on gmarket today I noticed that the Gmarket Top Bloggers list for Mars is out - and I'm on it Wiiiihooooo!


I was curious wether they'll know what country to categorize me as. Well I guess I'm a Swedish deep down so don't really mind haha.
Now I'm waiting for the gift certificate and then more shopping muaahahaha!


BTW after travelling around Norway for the whole week, it seems like my third box from gmarket are going to arrive today. This time I think I've overdone it. Well you'll see when I'll post the stuff in the next few days.

You say 'tought luck', I say 'contingency'

It's not that I don't know that it's gonna happen, it's just I don't know when. And the when just happened.
It's really about probability, at some point the probability would be high for certain incidents to occur.
So what do I do about it?
First of all there are lessons learned to note down and remember.
The next thing is to build in precautions or fool-proofing. Yes I just admit I'm a fool.
Last thing to take care of is damage control and re-establishing normal condition. Of course there's a cost linked to this and should be taken from the contingency fund which hopefully, is not equal to my bank account.

It's Spring in the air!





It's warm, it's sunny and the sky is blue! What have I done for the first half of such a beautiful day? You're right, I slept haha. As I needed some few grocery items I got up, got dressed and got out.

This is a good occasion to try out the dress/jacket I got from New Look a couple of months ago.

I might as well try a new Iphone case since I'm getting a bit bored of my pink one.









Totoro, one of my favorite charactor from Ghibli Studios anime. Got it at Gmarket. Thought that it'll be a hard shell but it's a bit soft so it's actually easier to put on and remove. I like that!

Ok! Time to do some Spring cleaning!

Got it right this time!



The training wear I order in my first haul was disaster. I mean nothing wrong with it, just I managed to order the wrong set and the color (white) doesn't really suit me.
This time I got the order right, the quality feels good and it actually looks better than what I expected. The size fits me perfect as well.
Next thing is to find an aerobics venue. It even match with the shoes I got last time wiiiihoooo!

This week in collage

I'm actually quite lazy when it comes to taking pictures. The week started with skiing. Wasn't the best snow condition and I fell once, badly. On the good side, it was sunny that day.

My hair is always in a mess when I'm doing outdoor activities. On the other hand I don't do outdoor activities that often haha

Then off to UK after a horrible night. I don't think I like this house anymore.
Sunny UK is definitely better than rainy Bergen and I do love the shopping and food choices.

Gmarket haul #2

After receiving the first haul successfully I can't help placing the second order. This time more items than the last but it only cost me a couple hundread NOK more, how come? I guess the secret lies in shipping cost. The more you buy the lower shipping cost per item it'll be.
Even though I expected a bigger box than the last one, the box size exceeded my expectations. The black is my laptop bag so you can get a feel of the size.

Looking into the box, you can't understand how Gmarket can justify sending such a big box.
Ah well, let's bring it all out.
The two box on the left is my shoes. The bubble wrap stuff is from Etudehouse. Ok let's do the unwrapping. Feels just like Christmas ^^

1. First out is jeans? I didn't order any jeans. No it's my training wear. I'll post picture of me wearing it another time when I'll do exercises.


2. This one warm my heart a bit. They actually add in a handwritten message to me - in Korean so I have no idea what the message is about, I could guess it's a thankyou of some kind. Also Hello Kitty candies as freebies. Just lovely.
What I bought? It's a rouge/blusher brush.

3. By the look of the box I think you can guess what's inside. The freebie I got was stockings, alway needed.

4.  One of the hightlight of this haul - BB cream from Skin79. I'll do a review on this when I've used it long enough. I chose this one after reading a lot of reviews on BB cream so let's hope it won't make me dissapointed. No freebies comes with this one.

5.  Facemasks! And loads of them. Made in Korea so it shouldn't be too bad. I haven't tried them out yet. I bought 5 different 'flavors'. Ginseng, Q10, Aroma, Aloe and Collagen.

6.  Etudehouse stuff. I got haircolor, highlighter and eye shadow for myself. The unwrap thing on the left is my mom's BB cream. The cup and the paper thing is freebies. I'm a bit dissapointed actually. I've red alot good stuffs about freebies from Etudehouse and this doesn't live up to my expectations at all.

7. Another main item of this haul - rainboots! Living in Bergen, having waterproof boots is a must. No more wet feets.
The typical japanese feet pose hahaha. Well it was suited to show the flower details on the side anyway.

8. These are the boots you saw me wearing in the last post. They are quite ok and very suitable to wear to skinny jeans.

9. Lastly - my wall decos. Don't know when I'll paste them on the wall. After the incident last Saturday, I have got second thought about staying here.

That's all for this haul. No wait a minute, one item is missing. It's something for my brother but I don't think he wants me to reveal what I got for him hahaha.
