Ballin'

So as mentioned, despite all the problems associated with going to the ball, here and here I did actually make it and below are some of the photos from the night.

This is me when I arrived at the hotel I have to admit my make up was a tad bit too strong, that was my mom and my sisters idea, they wanted to make me look older... But personally I don't think heavy make up on a young face is the best way to achieve that...
Nancy, Me & Nicole
Once I found Nancy my room buddie for the night we headed to the bar and met Nicole one of our classmates, I think at this early stage she was already a bit drunk...  Me and Nancy were very careful to pace ourselves and Nancy started off with a glass of water lol and I had a 7UP could we be any wilder lol!!!
 Then after we managed to get our drinks there was a huge queue at the bar, we were all told to go down to the dinning area, we were a bit unlucky or some people might say blessed, our table consisted of 8 men plus me and Nancy
Michael posing lol and me
Me and Luke
I had one embarrassing moment at the ball, but I just can't bear the divulge any details about it at the moment... maybe I will revisit it in a later post but for now here is the picture that caused the embarrassment
Can anyone guess what happened??
Lastly here is a picture of me and Nancy! Probably one of my favourite photos of the night
Nancy and I
The theme of the Ball was suposed to be 1920's but from everyones outfits you would never of guessed it lol. There was one photo booth at the ball and we had a chance to dress up in 1920's style
Me, My cousin Paul & Nancy
Here is my idea of the perfect feather outfit 
Feather Mask
Feather earrings
Feather bag
feather hair peace
feather eye shadow
Feather Necklace
I think this outfit definitely would of won the best dressed on the night. One final Ball post to come

Tattoo desires

Whilst growing up, I always had some sort of attraction to tattoos, despite my moms efforts to discourage me away from them by saying... They are permanent, They are ugly, They will look horrible when your older, They are meaningless and so on.


I have seen western folk who have gotten Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Thai tattoos that they probably don't know how to pronounce, don't know what it means or have forgotten what it means. Even celebrities like David Beckam have fallen into this Asian exotic tattoos. Well it has never ever crossed my mind to get a tattoo like that, Although my boyfriend wouldn't object to me getting his name tattooed on me,
Its quite tiny but on her foot, if you squint your eyes you may be able to read it
 Whats the meaning?
Angelina Jolie
 David Beckham

But personally I hate tattoos of peoples names, I just think its disgusting. Its like a statement I belong to so and so forever. What if its not forever and you break up like Peter Andre and Jordan? Also I have heard about people getting a tattoo when they were totally drunk which absolutely shouldn't be allowed like Las Vegas shot gun weddings. Madness,
Jordan's Pete Tattoo before and after

Anyway if i was to get a tattoo I would like to get something a bit more original than bunnies or butterflies or hearts or a name, or Asian writing that I can't understand.. I know a lot of people claim to get a tattoo that means something to them... But do things retain the same meaning for your whole life? What means something to you now, may mean nothing to you when your like 80...

So I think something quirky interesting even odd is probably better. I have had 3 Chinese friends who have had tattoos when I met them so I wasn't there during the decision process but anyway one of them had a rose tattoo on there shoulder, one had a wolf on there shoulder, and one had a scorpion on his neck. All of them are pretty random except for the rose, but it was on a very random person, (my former classmate) who you wouldn't think cared much about roses or who you couldn't imagine him giving a girl a bouquet of roses...



My ex boyfriend was also interested in tattoos although he was a bit of a scaredy cat, he wanted to get a tattoo underneath his arm, where nobody could see it... which I thought was absolutely pointless, Whats the point of getting a tattoo you have to hide forever?

As for me I would like to get a tattoo on my back, not a big one or a dainty one but a normalish size one. I have a few ideas.


The first idea is a bat, because they are largely misunderstood, and I really think if I get a tattoo it will be largely misunderstood. Bats are usually associated with darkness. Not that I am a dark person or anything like that but i do have a scar on my back which makes me feel uncomfortable sometimes. I feel its a secret i always have to hide, and Bats always have to live in secret.  hidden in attics etc.  So apart from Batman its pretty difficult to see bats.
I like this one although I would prefer a tattoo on my lower back...

I like this one but I would probably want something to put in the middle or even just put pink ink there, or maybe somebody's name..

I am not sure about this one...

Although this is not a tattoo its very cute|

Another cute bat
Well would any of you like to get a tattoo of something weird and wonderful? and where?
