Hearts Desire

Eversince I could remember, whenever I did well in my studies I would look forward for trips to the department store. I would then be allowed to choose a small gift for myself. My parents believed then that hard work should be rewarded and this is something that I have continued until now with my own finances.

In the year 2014, instead of a reasolution, this year, I've decided to compile a list of items that I would want to own in time.

1) LUNCH BOX & BENTO SET - I like making my own lunches and I am a self-admit addict when it comes to these bento-making sets. I can't resist putting my hands on one of these whenever I enter Daiso and it doesn't help with Daiso popping up like mushrooms. :D

2) TUMBLERS - People who know me can attest that I drink water and lots of it. I really like those novelty tumblers. The creativity in them is just astounding. But its hard for me to buy it sometimes because I can't bear to use them if its too pretty. For me it has to be pretty and yet plain enough for everyday use.

3) HAND CREAM - These are my guilty pleasure. I buy them for the packaging and I just love the scents that hand creams comes with. Sometimes they are too pretty to be used but with my line of work where cuts, burns and dry hands are normal, you can see why I like it don't you.

4) LIP GLOSS, LIP TINTS etc - If I had to select my favourite part of my face, I would select my lips. Its not that I have beautiful lips but simply became the easiest to accent since my eyes are forever hidden behind my glasses and nor do I have those enviable korean flawless complection. I am embarased to say I own more lip glosses, lip sticks, lip balms that I could ever wear (afterall we only have one lips) and yet I am always tempted whenever I pass through the cosmetics section. There is always a colour that I  haven't had yet. :P

5) MUSIC BOX - Its a little unusual but I especially like those that double as a jewelry box. Maybe its partly of its calming effect and that nostalgia it evokes.

6) BRACELETS -  If you would ask me I will always favor bracelets compared to anyother jewelry. This is partly of my impossibly skinny wrists makes bracelets practically impossible (they either slip down my hands or go all the way to my armpits :P) Dainty and yet understated. Just my style.

7) SNACKS - Unlike most girls I don't really like chocolates but I could never have enough of seaweed and chips. My addiction is till the extend of me requesting that as my birthday gift. I just love seaweed and also chips. Just the perfect combination XD I know they're cheap but they won't be cheap any longer if you eat them everyday. I wish I had an unlimited supply

Its a little late as always for my first post for this year but well better late then never. :D and as it is Chinese New Year I would like to wish you all Gong Hey Fatt Choy~!! 

Closing Chapter

Its time to say our goodbyes to another year. 

Much has happened this year - the good, the bad, with plenty of happy occasions and also sadness. 

If I were to describe what this year was to me in one word It would probably be accomplished. I didn't notice but a lot has occured and I'm proud to say I believed I have done what I did the best that I could have.

A little recap perhaps?

Graduate and went on road less traveled (which I am most definitely better off seeing as how my batch mates are stuck in a quandary)

I had my first job

Was hospitalised for the first time - Its a little bizzare...morbid but its quite interesting to see how does hospitals work from the experience of the patient. This is after you got after the fact that you are THE PATIENT

Felt how hard working life is ( bla bla bla I want it this way, that way, well you can have the highway *hmph*)

And also how it could be rewarding. Our FIRST sis-brother trip. This which I am proud to say is self funded by your truly. It is amazing, the feeling of satisfaction gained from paying for your own.

and is planning and saving for my self funded trip to korea

Baked a cake for a friend's birthday for the first time. You can imagine we had loads of fun ^^

Finally attended Comic Fiesta after 5 years. (Did I mention that I really like Euphie?)

And I also learnt that it is who you are with that matters - in which have a confession (...shhhhhh) I guess karaoke wasn't so bad after all...if gone with the right people. :P

A year has come and gone and with this year and this year I will enter adulthood with a mix of pride, amazement and anticipation of what is to come. May every year be better than the last.. With this I'd like to wish everyone a Happy New Year.

Bye Bye 2013

and 

Hello 2014

The Present Time

It has been a while. Just recently I have unofficially completed my internship term. :) Its really a relief to NOT have the report's deadline hanging over my head. >.< Currently I'm waiting for my result to be out in about 2 weeks time. I doubt that I'll get a 3.5 pointer though. :( Of course I'm hoping for the best.

Compared to a couple months back, I believe that I am less stressed(?) Improvements probably due to the new employees and also due to the rescheduling of job responsibilities. ^^ This I hope maintains well into next year. Just recently, I was asked to design a poster/ advertisement for this upcoming thanksgiving.

Well, this is the result after 2 hours. I hope it looks pasable >.< And lookie here, I can already see my job responsibilities thanks to my boss. Since currently Pastries are my responsibility...well I can already 'anticipate'. On the bright side, there isn't really an order yet from the school.....sooo cross my fingers.

Usually while blogging, I usually don't backtrack on events but this I think must be recorded. Recently (or not so recently) I had a birthday celebration with my friends - this which is very much appreciated by yours truly. ^^  Personally, I consider myself as someone very hard to surprise 

However that that truly surprised me - whether it was intentional or not I do not know. But I guess I could say that I was slightly...really slightly disapointed when nothing happened. Man and when I thought nothing was happening. *BOOM* there was (I'm sorry girls) such a dead giveaway. :P Spiriting off while leaving me window shopping ALONE is really not the best way to be uhh...discreet. 

And also on a side note - seriously the excused you girls gave was hilarious. :D Anyway I loved it soo much because I truly appreciate the gesture and it really made my day. I loved that the cake was chocolate/coffee-free (I'm probably the weird girl who doesn't eat chocolate.) *shrugs* And the gifts was absolutely perfect and will be much loved and used. 

I hope its not too late but still Thank You for everything. I hope that we will be friends for many more year to come a.k.a FOREVER. <3 nbsp="" p="">
