photobombs

a few weeks ago, my 6 year old acer aspire died on me, and dad sent it to the tech place to get it checked out in the attempt to resuscitate it, but to no avail. apparently the motherboard gave up living and there was no point in getting it fixed, said the technician, who suggested that it is better if i get a new lappie. been wanting to get something lightweight but with no compromise in performance, and set eyes on a mac. the Switch and Machines stores were having a discount on e.o.l macs (rm3399 for a 13inch macbook air!) and best yet, they were giving out rm600 vouchers if you buy an e.o.l product from them. so we thought that we could use the additional 600bucks to get office for mac, but there were no stocks left for 13in airs at the stores we went to (apparently people would rather get a macbook pro?) BUT there was one (and only one) unit available for the new 13in air which just arrived on that day itself, the flip side was the rm600 voucher does not apply for new products. nevertheless, mum and dad got it for me since i will be needing a lappie to get work done - thanks mum, thanks dad :) i have since been addicted to photo booth and iPhoto, which explains the three photo booth photos below, edited with the iPhoto app! and can i say, the iPhoto app is amazeballs! although i would probably still want to install photoshop.
wore this to meet up with an interviewee for my thesis research project:
forever21 pastel yellow blouse and tribal prints shorts, necklaces were both gifts from friends, and a cotton on stud bracelet as well as spike link bracelet from sheabelle
that's my sister bytheway, channeling lana del rey?

i guess the main point of this post is to just prove that i am still alive and well! happy sunday evening!
