Diary | Rapture 2014

If you follow me on instagram then you would know that I bought tickets to Rapture! The day finally arrived yesterday and let me tell you, it was the best experience. I've never been to a concert, let alone a music festival. I should think a concert is more orderly since there are allocated seating. I expected the music festivals to be very crowded, violent and rude. Only one of those things was true and that was the fact that the place was jam packed.

I couldn't have asked for the day to go any better.

Acts; 360, DAVID DALLAS, ACTION BRONSON, J.COLE and EMINEM.

Ananya and I had planned to meet up with two of my friends but we were a little late, and that made a huge difference in the process of getting in. My friends ditched us (thanks guys), but luckily I found my other friend Justin! (He's one of Shiv's best friend.) He was with his gang of friends which turned out to be the same guys Ananya was saying we should meet up with. What a small world.

We were enjoying the vibe before but being surrounded by friends was a whole lot better. The group were all so friendly and I'm so glad they didn't make me feel like an outsider even though I was technically one to begin with. It's just more fun when there's people trying to conclude you in things, and to have a group to dance and scream with. It also meant taking selfies was less awkward too. 

Two girls taking selfies alone = 4evs lonely

Two girls taking selfies in a group = girls will be girls

Even the strangers were very friendly and strike short conversations here and there. People gave us personal space all throughout the day. The only time it was most crowded was during Eminem's performances and even then you still have room to dance so it wasn't crazy sweat rubbing. The weather was kind to us all day long so I was very pleased with my choice of attires. 

 When it was just the two of us.

Luckily the opening act was amazing. Ananya and Justin disagrees but it was my first time listening to 360 and he definitely made me dance.

 Nails!

 After 360 we went to grab some grub. The burgers were fricking $10 each and the tiny bottles of fizz were $5(!!!).

When moving through big crowds, our method of choice as to not lose each other was hand holding. I know, we cute.

 We went to buy some merchandises. I ended up wearing my shirt later on in the night but you can't see it clearly in the pictures so I'll share it another time. 

 You're going to see an overuse of this pose by the end of this post.

Ananya wore one of her shirts straight away.

I look so sinister in the first polaroid. This was around the time when we started to join the group.

Selfie time. I realised all our selfies were on her phone because I surprisingly did not selfie once yesterday (!!!).

 J.Cole was so adorable, he seemed genuinely surprised that the crowd knew his lyrics and were shouting it back to him.

 Sweg.

 "Can we take a polaroid with just the girls?"

*a few of the guys forget their gender and joins in the picture*

The two guys in the back are with us but the girl on the right wasn't. That was pretty much the theme of the night; friendly strangers photobombing us and then asking to see the picture later.

 I asked Kanav to take a shot of Ananya and I but idk what he was doing.

 "Why are you still wearing your bucket hat? The sun is gone."

"Yeah, but the swag isn't."

"Sweg."

"Sweg."

 Justin pls.

 Justin stahp.

 The crowd went crazy when Eminem came on - what a surprise.

 This was one of my favourite part when the crowd held up lighters to the song Lighters.

 ARE YOU FEELING IT??? COS I'M FEELING IT.

 HE SANG STAN!!! It's one of my all time favourites from him, oh my god, the crowd was so loud during the chorus.

HE CHANGED THE LYRICS WHERE IT SAID "Remember when we met in Denver?" TO "Remember when we met in AUCKLAND". oHhhh MmmY GaWddd.

His accent was the most amazing thing ever. He pronounced "Auckland" as "Owk-land". 

I will hate myself forever for not recording that part. Hopefully his experience here surpassed all his expectations so that he will come back again soon.

I just wanna kidnap him and keep him forever (✿◑‿◐).

The ONLY disappointment of the night was the absence of Kendrick. Meerah said she was actually going to sell her tickets after the news. Luckily Lucy forced her to come. I bought the tickets primarily to see Eminem but Kendrick was second priority so I was pretty upset too.

Here's are some videos to leave off with.

Here's someone who did a better job of filming "Lighters" than me.

I didn't get to film his newer songs because I gave up on filming and decided to just enjoy the music.

I went to Eminem's first NZ tour. It's hard to let that sink in still. 15/02/2014

Bohemian hair tutorial | The cage braid

Hi guys! I'm excited to share with you guys my first ever tutorial video. I thought if I was ever to make a tutorial video it would be DIY based but nope, I guess it's hair.

Like I said in the video a picture I saw long ago inspired me to come up with this hair style. Unfortunately I didn't save the picture at the time and even if I did it would have been no use as it was one of those picture floating on Weheart.com with an irrelevant title and no source link. If anyone finds a picture of a similar hairstyle then don't forget to share with the rest of us!

Watch my video if you're interested in finding out how to achieve this braid:

The difficulty level of this isn't beginners but I don't think it's expert either so let's say it's level intermediate. 

Screenshots:

Help you guys found this helpful and if you have any tutorial requests (especially DIY ones) send them to my ask.fm here:

Que sera sera

A tikka I made this week! I had a necklace laying around which never got the chance to be wore out so I thought why not make use of it.

 Geoffrey drew me for his art assessment! I think there's more on the way. I sent him a bunch of photos to use as references. They were pictures I have collected over time of my friends and myself. He ended up mostly picking pictures of me because he's noticeably better at drawing Asians. He drew Shrestha but she turned out looking Asian... My ma says this looks 100% like me so you hear that Geo? You're a professional now. (Yes in real life I have an eagle attached to my head)

Today I got off work early to attend my dance practice. It was crucial as our competition is only a week away! I really hope my school does well because we've put so much effort into practices.

 The girls who showed up at practice (Sammy was hiding).

I was going to quit the Bollywood group after High School Rockers (the competition) because Diwali was coming up next and exams are going to be going on at the same time. However there's a new dance opportunity in between Rockers and Diwali which is International day at our school! I'll stay on board for that before dropping of the face of the Earth to study for exams.

Ms Chand made everyone hot choco and coffee during break. I got a mocha while we sat around catching our breath.

At one point Diksha was explaining a story to me involving powdered milk while my mouth was full with my sandwich. I couldn't respond and so she interpreted it as me not understanding, I guess she was waiting for a laugh. She continued to explain to me what powdered milk was with the help of Ashleen and Svetlana. I kept nodding but they kept going, it wasn't until I finished my mouth full did I got to clear up that I do actually know what powdered milk is. At the time I kept thinking "why do they keep describing powdered milk to me???"
I am a magnet to awkward situations *licks my coffee cup*.

Shamelessly taking pictures at school. I actually have a legitimate excuse that time! Geoffrey needed more reference for his art project so I got to vain on his iphone5 with good reasons. I was having a good eyelid day. Being Asian on some days I wake up with mono lids, some days double lids, and on special occasion, triple lids *sigh*.

At the moment I am obsessing over interracial couples! I don't know why but it makes me happy when I see an interracial couple. I guess it makes me excited thinking about interracial babies (I know I'm creepy) but hey man everybody has their own little weirdness. Mine just happens to be being the ultimate creeper. If I had a choice I would pick and mix so many race but sadly by blood I'm just Chinese. Some people tell me I look Chinese and some people can't tell what I am, I like the last type of people best! It helps me live in denial and think I look somewhat mixed race (even if it's just within the Asian gene pool).
If you're an interracial couple, just know I am some where in the background shipping the two of you like an obsessed fan girl.

Anyways on the topic of interracial babies; Zendaya. I've been hooked on Dancing With The Stars and watched all the parts with her in it.


I also want to share a few more of my favourites (they're not all from the same season).




Hope you guys enjoyed those videos and see you in my next post!

ps. Sorry about my absence. School has been hectic, a lot of assessments have been going on. I promise I will post whenever possible.

Everybody hates Monday, little did they know, Monday hates everybody

My extremely healthy breakfast.

Dressing like a street gypsy because you dress to success, and gypsies succeed in not giving a crap. (Don't mind my messy room, I'm in the process of packing)

School has started up for many people but my school however had the day off. Despite that fact I spent my day at school anyways. I was meant to have dance practice but it was canceled. Considering I had a tramp meeting later I decided it wasn't worth going home and then back again so I stayed. I watched youtube for 2 hours straight before the rest of my tramp group showed up.

We signed out our equipment and tested out our tents. I thought I would have forgotten how to set up a tent considering I learnt it at the beginning of last year but I still had it in me (with the help of D). Now I know if I ever find myself stranded in forestry I can shelter myself, given that a magical tent falls out of the sky.

The weather has been very gloomy and a bit of a washing machine condition. I'd hate to think what it would be like when I'm on tramp.

Before I go I want to share this video that made me laugh too loud.

Poly Festival 2013

 Like the title suggests, I attended the Poly Fest this year with my Indian dance group. I can tick this of my things I've done before I'm old and withered with wrinkles. I'm staying with this group for another term and entering the Highschool Rockers competition. I'm looking forward to Rockers more as we'll be doing Bollywood instead of tradition dancing like we did for Poly Fest. It was fun, I just think Bollywood would be even more fun.

I had a blast with these girls and can't wait for another term of after school practices.

Next year I will most probably join the Fusion dance group (mixed culture), just to get a taste of something new.

Speaking of Fusion. This year the Indian dance group noticeably have less dancers as the old students and new students flocked over to join Fusion. We have one boy dancer this year where last year they had about a dozen (give or take). I ended up being the only Asian in the group, which I'm quite used to by now. I was also the only Asian in my hockey team last year. Rose is in the hockey team this year so I won't be the only one anymore.

Fusion did really well this year and I have a feeling they will be winning the Diversity stage.
