about moi

I've been lacking inspiration lately.. however I have been finding myself wearing shorts and t-shirts with no jacket which only means one thing! Spring is coming and I think it's come early this year. The weather has been so great that it's put me in a better mood.

I was really proud with the new colour microshadow I picked out last friday. So proud I had to take a photo to show everyone. It's the lighter colour; a silvery blue.




So my little brother went on his first camping trip to the snow with his school and he thought it'd be appropriate to bring his wonderful big sister a gift back and no one else in the family. I feel very touched.

So I've been following a lot of blogs lately and I find myself always interested in what the do for a living and what their lives are like outside of this virtual world. So I thought I'd write a bit about myself:
  • my full name is Helen Chik (notice my URL.. clever huh? *sarcasm*)
  • I was born in Australia but my family is from Shanghai
  • 19 years young
  • I'm currently a second year student in uni; studying Actuarial Studies (I linked actuarial because most people don't know what the word means)
  • I'm 173cm which I believe is 5'7" but converting measurements always confuses me so correct me if I'm wrong
  • I practically live at the gym and probably spend 2 hours there every day
  • shopping is my vice
  • my favourite colours are lime green and purple (some might say they're the gay colours but rest assured, I am straight =D)
  • I'm extremely OCD and have weird habits.. just typical girly control freak behaviour
  • I hate it when people are late. Ergo, I like to arrive 20 minutes early for everything
  • I love Japanese and Italian food

My nicely covered school books =D as you can see I have an obssession with Miranda Kerr

Hey Helen! Your post is inspiring, I should do a facts thing soon too. :)

And you're 5'7--I'm completely jealous. I wish I was except growing another 2 inches at this point is highly unlikely hehe.

I dig the makeup!

I love finding out things about people :) There's always something you can identify with - shopping addiction aside, I'm pretty OCD as well. 'Girly control freak behaviour' is EXACTLY how my boyfriend would describe it lol.

You do your makeup so neatly! I would be scared to do a closeup of my own...

have a great day!
