We all have that friend who you don't text every day and don't meet very often, but in our hearts, we know that deep down, that person is no doubt one of the very best friends that we don't wanna lose.

This girl who used to be a blogger whom I looked up to as a silent reader has now become a really dear friend of mine > Chanwon Tan from www.chanwon.com ♥

I suppose I don't need to do any further introduction about her since she is so famous already ^^ You have no idea how grateful I was when we started becoming friends on Facebook. At first I thought the 2 of us would be like those "friends" on Facebook who would never have any interactions at all, but I was wrong. Although we don't text 24/7, we still do text pretty often (I text her more often than I text my own buddies who I grew up with :p) and we tell each other problems that we have in our lives despite the fact we only see each other ONCE every year.

Yes, you read that right, it's only ONCE every year because we are separated in 2 different countries, which I guess is more than 1000 miles away!

Meeting her is something that I look forward to every time when I come back to Malaysia from Melbourne. My to-do list when I am in Malaysia will always include MEETING CHANWON & EAT WAN TON MEE! HAHAHA sorry girl, your position in my heart is parallel to wan ton mee :p (HAHA joking joking~)

I spent my very last 2 days of 2014 with Chanwon babe with lots of fun and girl talks ^^ (even though the last day was a mere 2-3 hours, it meant A LOT to me)

Thank you Chanwon babe for driving all the way from Seri Kembangan to accompany me in Subang ♥

Instead of meeting at a shopping mall or cute coffee shops, I asked Chanwon to come over to my god brother's house (because I was staying there) so that we could do a song cover together! WHEEE!!! After having lunch at Secret recipe, we headed back for real work :3


This is my girl focusing on her work!

I played the role of a "musical director" for her solo song cover which I believe she will be uploading it to her Youtube in the near future. 

And, we also did a cover of a Chinese song together. To be really honest, I didn't really have the confidence to do a Chinese song cover because my housemate told me that my Chinese pronunciation is weird >< But, this time, I THINK I managed to pull it off?!?! @@


We did the recording first and then recorded a video in 1 freaking take lip syncing to our voice. So please pardon us if the voice didn't really match the video very accurate because it was a crazy rush! HAHA

Yet, it was incredibly fun!!!!! She's such a good and confident singer!!! Every time when I do a song cover, I would record it nearly over 5 or 6 times before uploading to Youtube. For Chanwon, the most she needed was only 2 times!!!


The next day we had Subway for lunch and I helped Chanwon take her #ootd :p HEHE


And we took a lot a lot of Polaroids as memory ♥


THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTS BABE! I'LL USE THEM WELL ^^ WAIT FOR MY TAIWAN SOUVENIRS KAYYYY~~

I wonder when will I see her again?! Gonna miss her lots~~

In a blink of eye, 2014 has already come to an end. I would say that this year had been a pretty dramatic, happening as well as fruitful for me. I admit, I have grown up, well...a little I SUPPOSE~

Throughout this year, I cried, I laughed, I was exhausted, I felt like giving up on everything and just ran away to a place where nobody knows me...From all the ups and downs, I realized, no matter how big a problem is or how stressful the situation seems to be, it will all be over as long as you hang in there.

And here I am, writing this post in 2015 as a proof that I have survived 2014! Yes, I'm still human!




Here's a recap of the big memories from 2014~


♠ The biggest change of 2014 was the fact that I have started to love the idea of having a housemate. I never thought that I would like having someone in the same house as me because I didn't have the confidence that I could live peacefully with someone when I have to face her for nearly 24/7 everyday in Melbourne. BUT....I now feel weird when my housemate was not at home. Company, now plays a very important role in my life. Although we don't have the same personality (in fact, it's pretty much the exact opposite, apart from our love for music - yet we have different taste in music HAH), we enjoyed the time searching for recipes from Google and trying them at home, exploring more Korean restaurants around Melbourne, watching crazy Youtube videos and laughing like mad during dinner time etc. Small little things which may not seem to be significant or special to the others, but in my eyes, for someone who had lived her life for 20 years with nobody at home apart from her mom, I would see that this is something that I did out of my absolute comfort zone. And yes, I love every bit of it, and thank you Bitch~ I shall bombard you with more higher-leveled bullshits in 2015.



♠ I got my barista certificate! Yes, I can finally cross this out from my 2014 resolutions (It's #17). Who wants me to make them a cup of coffee? My specialty is cappuccino! HAHA I also learn how to drink coffee because I had to taste my own coffees :p





 ♠With my salary that I got from working part-time 3 or 4 times a week, I could finally have a taste of buying my own prize possessions with the money that I earned with my own fucking hands. Hell yeah, that feeling is good!!! For my first salary, I bought my mom a swarovski necklace and a pair of earrings for my grandmother. And I also got myself a pair of Converse - it has Bart Simpsons on it!!! WHEEEE~~ I also bought a lot of things which I could only dream of having since a few years ago such as headphones, polaroid camera etc.


 ♠I am now the treasurer of Melbourne University's Korean Society. Finally 1.5 years of hard work paid off~ I worked my ass off to get to where I wanted to be.


♠ It suddenly happened that I can now type a little Korean and I can understand quite a lot by hearing and reading. I am now starting to learn to have the courage to speak in Korean so that I can improve. Once in a while when there were Korean customers coming into the cafe, I would try to speak to them in Korean.


♠ I fell in love with B1A4. Thanks to the free tickets from my juniors. After being a K-Pop fan for 4 years with all my focus on CN Blue, now I have a new group to love! Jin Young is my 2nd love after Yong Hwa :p


♠ Saw Alex Goot and Chrissy at their concert in Melbourne.



♠ Went to Perth for the very first time with Mommy. That was a hella boring place (I thought Melbourne is already boring enough...) although the scenery was nice.



♠ After watching a very inspiring video by Wengie (click here), I finally start to gather up my courage to do something I like. Ever since I was a kid, I have always liked singing and dancing. However, as I get older (sad~), the time I spent on dancing had reduced drastically because of the other commitments I have in life, but my love for singing had been brought to an even higher level. Too bad I'm not born with an amazing vocal or having any extraordinary music talents (I do play guitar, ukulele and piano, but I'm not great in any of them...I really failed in life), if not I would have been pursuing music right now. But, Wengie's video inspired me to just do it and fumble along the way. Starting something is better than not doing anything about it, that's what she taught me. So, I started my new Youtube channel (CLICK HERE), learnt audio recording and editing. Everything was new and pretty time consuming, but I am enjoying every second whenever I'm doing my Youtube things.


♠ If you have a look at my 2014 resolution which I wrote back in 2013, #11 was to have a boyfriend (as I an idiot last year?), but now, this thing is not at all important in my life anymore. It would be a downright lie if I were to deny the fact that whenever I watch a Korean drama I wouldn't hope that I could find a guy who I can call my own, but for now, it's just not something which I shall include on my "resolutions of the year" list. I have learnt through a painful way that promises are just bullshits if they are not accompanied by actions in real life and sincerity. Thanks to you dude for this lesson and I'm so glad now that you are out of my life once and for all. Girls, nobody will treat you as a Queen, so why not be the Queen yourself!


♠ After years of blogging, finally I received a few sponsors. Although I'm no where near my amazing blogger friends, I was really happy and honoured to be able to be approached by companies who like my blog :3


♠ I also received a long e-mail from a reader for the first time. Charmaine, I am not sure whether you are reading this (I suppose with my crazy personality I would direct you here to read this) but I am really really really happy and proud of you to be able to finally to gather your courage to leave home for New Zealand. Do you know that when I was typing the reply for you, I was so incredibly touched? I was actually crying when I replied you *blush* I never thought that someone would actually ask me advice for such a big decision in life. Thank you for believing in me and not thinking that I was just bullshitting HAHA



♠ Became real life good friends with a blogger - Vincci. I even asked her to come to my house for sleepover party and made her do my dishes WTF (well, I did cook lunch for her though)

♠ I am now someone's god mother :p HAHA! My godsister Daphne Froggy (who I knew through blogging too) gave birth to a very cute little boy!!! I am his god mother!

♠ The desire and rebellious intention of getting a tattoo is now out of my life already. I had been wanting a small but meaningful tattoo since I was 12 years old, but that day when I was working I saw a couple of tattooed old ladies came into the shop with some faded tattoos....I realized, I wouldn't want one anymore.

♠ Cut my hair in Melbourne for the very first time at a Korean hair saloon. Cost me freaking 35 dollars~

♠ Sent off a few seniors who went back to their countries for good. Come to think of it, I'm on my way to finishing my university life...That's why saying goodbyes is unavoidable as well :(


THANK YOU *bows*
