Not going to lie, I am still wrapping my head around the fact that I am turning 24 in 41 days and it is 2018 now.


Here's the time where everyone started to come up with all those Facebook memories and Instagram best photos...I am still keeping it old school by writing it on my blog. Or to play the game more seriously, I may somehow copy this blog post into my diary if I feel like it.

It's been 6 months since I last blogged. Little did I know 6 months could fly just like that *snap*

Looking back, it definitely feels more than 6 months.


So much was going in my life in the past 6 months and it wasn't till 3 Saturdays ago I had my first ever no-schedule day all to myself.

Here's my biggest attempt to recap everything.

January 2017 caught me off-guard when the Aussie government suddenly increased the minimum points required for their skilled migration visa applications. Since then, everything was just a hot mess. 1 week before I headed back home to Malaysia to visit my family, I made two major decisions - enrolled in the Professional Year programme and the Naati paraprofessional interpreter exam.

To be honest, looking back, I have absolutely NO idea how did I manage to afford paying for all these let alone surviving through them. Those two cost me more than 10 grand - I paid every single cent on my own.

But, what else can I do? I really want to get the permanent residency in Australia. Thus, the only solution was to suck it up and hustle through.

Right after I got back from Malaysia, I enrolled in another external course that prepped me for the Naati parapofessional interpreter exam. That took place on every Saturday from 10-5pm. On the other hand, the Professional Year programme runs every Sunday from 9-5pm. I was, still am working full time from 8.30-5pm from Monday to Friday and occasionally a few Saturday shifts.

Believe me when I say this, anytime, anywhere, I'd choose work over exams and studies!

Right after Naati exam ended, it was the time to get my shit together and study for the level CFA exam in June which I enrolled last year when I got my first ever paycheck.


CFA was really hectic. By this time, I was at the brink of going insane. Not too literally but you get the gist of it... I love working in banking and finance in real life but when it comes to studying for a Finance exam, I'll sum it up in one word: SUICIDAL. I was never good at Finance exams. Although things made more sense this time around considering that I have been in banking for quite a while, I didn't have the fire of passion burning in me.

On top of that, I had to find a new place to move. Because most of my friends had renewed their leases at the start of the year and also because most friends moved back to their home countries after graduation, there's basically nobody whom I could see as a potential flatmate. The last resort was to go onto flatmates.com or whatever random websites and put myself out there to find a potential flatmate. For me, this was the most pathetic and desperate situation that I got myself into, EVER. I was disgusted to my bone marrow! It's the feeling of begging your ex ex ex ex boyfriend to patch back with you.

I started to recognise the fact that having a full time job is not good enough. Working hard is not hard enough. Everything's stagnant. Being so tied up by a crazy schedule indirectly made me complacent and lost focus in life because my goal switched to completing everything on the schedule and that's a happy day! I felt as if the whole world was going to collapse on me. As if I had a thousand invisible dementors around me sucking my soul out of me. I was lost but also dead, in the inside. "Stucked", "quarter-life crisis" or whatever you label it - that's the situation where I was in, though my personal description would be "FUCKED".

Thankfully, I was blessed enough to transfer to another workplace within the same company. The day when I was told that, I was so goddamn happy and I felt like a tiny beansprout that just had his "breakthrough" to the first exposure of sunlight after being in a bean for ages.

I did consider skipping the exam because the idea of hustling through and "try your luck, who knows what the outcome will be" scared the shit out of me, big time. Perhaps suffocating is the better word choice. Still...after a few cry-babe sessions and tonnes of whinging, I continued with my studies.

Right before the CFA exam, the paraprofesional interpreter results came back and I failed by 2 marks! Fuck my life big time. At that time, I didn't even know what should I feel. I didn't cry, to my very own astonishment, because I didn't even have the time to register the fact that I failed the exam that could potentially cost me to be thrown out of Australia in my head.

Very quickly, I submitted a request to have my Naati results reviewed BUT I also decided to place all my bet on the table by enrolling in the "internal" Naati at the same time as my backup plan because I couldn't afford to sit around and waste for things to happen. I have come too far to bear this risk by not going all out.

For those who don't know, the "internal" Naati is just like a diploma. Unlike the official Naati exam where you figure things out on your own and sit for the exam with all fingers and toes crossed that you could successfully pass it, "internal" Naati is basically like enrolling in a 1 unit of subject at college. You have to go to classes, submit assignments, fulfill in-class assessments and etc. This cost me 3.2K...

Adulting life is struggling to find a way to pay everything you have to pay, priotize your payments and trying to squeeze out some money for savings.

I guess the saying "the bitter has to come before the sweet" is legit because one of my friends suddenly texted me and asked "are you still looking for an apartment because I'm thinking of moving out". Fast forward through those apartment hunting shit and trying to sweet-talk the property agents to let me secure a place without having to go for an inspection, I finally sorted out the lease of our new place.

Then, for the next few weeks, my life consisted of 3 things ONLY - work and CFA and a list of miscellaneous to-dos.



Miraculously...I managed to walk out of the CFA exam hall alive.

Reaching for the remote control to fast forward things again, after CFA, I finally had the time to get my nails, eyebrows and facial done and had my first ever shopping in 2017. The rest of the time was spent decluttering and packing.

5th July I moved into the new apartment and spent around 1 or 2 weeks trying to put the place together. Then the Naati results came back with a PASS!! I was sick at that time but with the "PASS" in hand, I rolled out of the bed regardless and headed to the "internal" Naati to withdraw myself from their exams and also to submit my EOI (expression of interest) for my Aussie permanent residency visa.

Just when I thought that it's time for me to slowly reap what I sowed, I failed CFA. Found out about this at 4am and balled my eyes out. Eventually I went to work with black smokey eye makeup to work so I could cover up my goldfish eyes.

Technically speaking, I consider this the very first time I fail an exam in my 23 years of life. It hit me hard but at the same time, I didn't have the desire to do it again even though I believe if I were to do it again I would be able to pass it this time...Just that...I don't know, I can't picture myself doing it anymore, at least not in the near future. I want to stop having something hanging behind my head and waking up everyday living from one to-do list to another to-do list.

After I talked to a few friends about it, I decided to hide it from my mom first because I knew deep down that I wasn't ready to do it again and I was so petrified at the thought of her telling me to re-do it again. As much as it kills me hiding things from my mom (I'm the worst at lying to mommy since I was a kid), I also knew that I'm old enough to make decisions on my own and bear with the consequences of my choices. Nevertheless, at this point of my life, I really do not have the tiniest bit of desire to work on something just because I have to but not because I want to.

Although I feel apologetic towards my mom, I am not really sorry. On the contrary, I'm ultimately thankful to her when she told me to retake IF I'm ever ready to do it again myself. Also, thankful that she is starting to treat me like an adult.

As a pick-me-up, I plunged myself into building something that I have been wanting to do for quite some time. While I felt stuck in life earlier this year, I decided to start an online business.

I was, still am pretty clueless with whatever I am doing but I know after all these crap that I went through in the past 1.5 years, I want to do something for myself. Owning a business has always been a fascinating idea of mine. I want to create something that represents me and that belongs to me. Something that its value is way beyond success or failure - because it's something that I build from scratch myself and nobody can take it away from me.

Something like the fox that the Little Prince tamed and the rose that he took care of on planet B612.



I'm stoked to share that I'm building a clothing ecommerce store and it's launching really soon!!!!!

Here's a little sneak peak - the first ever product that I've introduced to anyone!

Another thing to share is that...I also decided to chase the dream that I have been putting off for 7 years! 7 goddamn years!

Looking back I can't believe why on earth did I put off a dream for THIS long!!!



One of the most surreal shits that I have experienced in my life. I swear I was at the brink of bursting into tears. All these years of "BIG TALKS", finally...I am going to Korea!!!!! FOR HALF A MONTH!!!!! 

7 years of waiting for THE PERFECT moment to go to Korea, I decided to not wait any longer. If you know me through social media or in real life, I am a huge Korean fanatic since I fell for Jung Yong Hwa oppa in 2011 and thus I fell in love with Korea, the place where my man lives! I'm going to be stepping on the same piece of land with him AHHH ♥

Perfect moments never exist in real life, what we can do is to take the leap of faith and create moments as perfect as possible ourselves. Many things in life are now or never, so don't wait anymore. Let things free fall and have faith in yourself along the way. 

I know it's easier said than done but going through life is not an easy process, thus when we come across anything that we desire, make sure to believe in yourself and work hard for it. Despite the fact that results are not always guaranteed, you will be surprised by what life has to offer - it might not be right away but someday it will. I believe it that. 

For me, although it took 7 years, this is also the first time I'm travelling solo and one thing that I am proud of is that despite paying for my rent, insurances and all these exams and list of crazy stuffs that I listed above, I am still able to afford to save a decent amount to go on this trip!

Dear Mom, IF you are reading this and before you get mad, I'd layover for a night in Malaysia to chill with you for a day or two before heading back to Melbourne!! 

2017 had been crazily stressful for me for the past 7 months but now I accept the fact that the power to change things around and create a life that I want lies within my own hands and nobody else's.

Choosing to do something that you want and believing in it is just like growing a seed. You can't control the sunlight, the air or other factors but make sure that you are putting your best effort in doing whatever you can to nourish it and have faith that it will bloom beautifully one day.


Fingers crossed for the luck to be on my side!!! AND YOUR SIDES TOO!!!

OMG in just a blink of eye, I'm writing my June favourites. It's just as if yesterday I was writing my May favourites which is my very first post of this monthly series.

Many things happened in June and as the first half of 2016 came to an end, I really hope the 2nd half of 2016 will be better. *I believe it will*

1) Music










2) Food

I found out a place called Rustica at Fitzroy and OMG...THEY HAVE THE MOST HEAVENLY CROISSANT that came with edible flowers.

Whenever I eat something with edible flowers, I always feel like I have died and gone to foodie heaven. Thanks to the Sydney's Black Star Pastry watermelon cake with edible flowers on top of it - that's my first exposure to edible flowers.

PS: Regarding to this croissant, I will have a separate blog post and even a vlog specially for it, so stay tuned! *it's THIS serious*



In addition to that, I started having serious craving for avocados! Don't even know what's wrong with me as I used to hate them to the bones!


3) Book

From my last month's favourites, I mentioned a Youtuber called Lavendaire. In her videos, she mentioned this book and how it changed her life in putting things in order in one's home.



After I finished listening to it (I used audio book for it - click here), I spent a few weeks tidying my closet and sorting things in order.

It is a very inspiring book that talks about one of the most common issues that people have when it comes to tidying their home. I bet everyone has this type of issues, no matter how much effort you put into tidying, it always rebounds to the same old frustrating situations again.

Instead of throwing things away or trying to find places to put your things away, Marie Kondo (aka Konmari) tells you to keep things that spark joy in you and throw/donate/recycle those that do not. Then, find a place for the joy-sparking items for your home.

Through this, I somehow discovered a way to control my impulsive shopping urges. Whenever I feel like I want to buy something, I will ask myself "Does this spark joy?" or "Does this spark enough joy for me to make a space for it in my life?" Whenever I couldn't have a straight up "YES" to those questions, then I'd just forget about it.

She even has a typical way of folding clothes which will keep your closet organised. Thus, I took out all my clothes and ironed and fold each of them accordingly!

Though I didn't follow every single thing she taught in her book, the ideas and concepts are good to be incorporated into your own lifestyle. I personally think it's a really great book which will potentially change your outlook of life!


4) Adding flowers to my room

I never had the idea of doing a monthly favourites blog post because I never think that I have anything good to share with you guys as I thought that my life's plain and boring and it's not worth to painstakingly write a blog post about it. However, as I started to be more grateful for the small little things in life, I figured out "Hey, I do have good things to share!" Be it a piece of clothing, a quote, a book or a Youtube video :) Anything that I would recommend to my best friends personally, I will share it here!

1) Music:

I was supposed to write this before 2015 ended, but here I am writing it on the second day of January 2016. One of the reasons was because I wanted the feelings to sink in first so I could write about 2015 with a peaceful and indifferent mind rather than having to feel that "this roller coaster of 2015 is still not at its official end"...if you get what I meant...

2015...I don't even know how to begin. I would say that apart from 2014 which I thought I learnt a lot and I thought it's THE most happening year for me, I wouldn't say the same anymore after going through 2015. Sorry 2014, your place has been replaced.

Highlights of 2015~
♠Went to Taiwan again after so many years. Visited my grandma and my aunty in Taoyuan. Paid a visit at my dad and uncle's grave for the 2nd time of my life. Also went to Kaohsiung for the very first time. Thanks to my friend Ian who I hadn't seen for years who brought us around.

♠I turned 21! Got a big surprise party that my mom and my best friends threw for me. Both of my primary and high school best friends came. Unlike most of my friends who had their glamourous birthday parties in Melbourne where they were showered with Tiffany & Co, Pandora, Swarovski, I received a present which was very simple to most of the people but VERY meaningful and precious to me - a handmade photobook that all my friends came together for a few nights behind my back to complete. It's so important to the extent that I would put it on the list of "things to grab in case of fire" together with the pillow that my grandma made for me when I was 3 years old! It's this serious! It was a blessed birthday, simple yet heart warming and that's enough for me. Mom gave me a platinum ring with diamonds on it because I explicitly told her that I didn't want a key pendant. While I got a platinum pendant from my mom's boss.

♠I met up with Kharn Yee and Rachael for the very first time after meeting them through blogging. Didn't know how and when, but the friendship just bloomed over the Internet.

♠The very last time I was there to help out with the Korean Society's orientation event. I could still remember the scene where I approached the Korean Society's booth in 2013, feeling very anxious and afraid and intimidated but 2 years down the road, I heard the newcomers who told me that they wanted to me like me - not a Korean but being able to understand the Korean language and being able to have Korean friends and learn about Korea so much.

♠During the mid-year, I "retired" as their first Treasurer who's not Korean and that marked the official end of my life in Korean Student Society of Melbourne University (MUKSS). I wouldn't have imagined I could have a day like this. Well, it didn't come easy. What I seldom disclosed was the start of my journey being in Korean Student Society was really tough - I got yelled at, got kicked out of the dance performance because they wanted their Korean friends instead of a non-Korean there who needed translation all the time, a senior who tried to take advantage of me when he was drunk (of course I escaped), a senior who I had a crush on who turned out to be stealing the club's money by transferring them into his personal account etc...It's all about either you starve or you learn AND I'm proud to say that I survived and have made a lot of great friends who taught me a lot throughout these years AND I can understand basic Korean nowadays.

♠I saw my favourite girl group S.H.E live on stage after 9 years. This time around, it was their own concert. Dream came true!

♠I traded in my white iPhone 4S to a golden iPhone 6.

♠I found my specialty dish - Carbonara Spaghetti.

♠Went to Krabi and Langkawi over winter break.

♠Traveled to some new places of Melbourne - Frankston, Mount Macedon, High Point, the Melbourne Aquarium, Brighton and Dandenong.

♠Started to pick up the habit of keeping a diary. I love my Midori diary so much, a place where I can be myself and speak what is truly in my mind, it's a getaway for me.

♠On the 2nd last day of 2015, I tried baking all alone for the very first time.
♠I fell in love for the very first time in my life. Whatever that happened throughout the relationship was part of our memories - be it the good or bad, the laughter or the tears. I still am grateful for his existence in my life and that's all that matters.

♠I graduated! This should be the biggest thing of my 2015! After years and years of being a student, now I am officially done with school. Exactly 4 years and 10 months of being in Australia, I finally got that very expensive paper that I had been dreaming of for nearly my entire life. Thanks to my mom for giving me the greatest financial support without her I wouldn't have been where I am today. I know I always appear to be taking things for granted but I'm just not a very verbal person when it comes to family members...I AM THANKFUL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, ALWAYS. Also, to my real friends who accompanied me throughout this up-and-down journey, my housemate Chernie and lastly DCat who gave me the greatest support when I was feeling stressed out and pushed me to study harder in my final year of University (results wouldn't have improved if it wasn't for him, sadly he couldn't help with my Fianance papers HAHA). The journey had been full of sweat, tears as well as laughter and smiles...It's just a great milestone in my life that I swear to god that I will never ever forget.


I'm just ending this post with the last selfie of mine for 2015! Here's me trying to catch up with my December diary entries that I till this day haven't managed to catch up with! HAHA!

All the ups and downs that belong to 2015 and let them end there. The most important thing is WE ALL SURVIVED and that's it!

Life is not Accounting, so please don't bring your balance forward - what happened in 2015 stays there. 2016 is a brand new start. Start it with a smile! Just like a card game, close all the cards and shuffle the deck once again and anticipate what cards you will be getting in 2016.

May you have a wonderful 2016 ahead! :D All the best! 

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*

Hey guys! It's 2014 today!

Gosh I still am taken aback by the fact that 2013 is already GONE!

2013 was an amusing year for me, to go down the memory lane a bit:

               Started my Uni first year

                Got my very first salary

                Hung out with my blogger idol Chanwon
                Went to Doraemon exhibition
                First time spending new year's eve outside home

I know my life is as simple as a 2-year-old kid's very first ABC book because I don't really have much major things going on in my life, but I am grateful for the fact that I'm still living on this planet. 2013 was quite a new turning point of my life because not only it's my last teenage year, but also it's the start of my life as a Melbourne UNI student, which I am proud of.


As for my 2014, today the very first day, I slept in till 12pm because I'm a bit sick these days. Before I started to watch the last 5 episodes of MARRY HIM IF YOU DARE, I decided to come up here to write about my NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS :p

Perhaps...It's just a rough guideline for me to live through 2014 without wasting it like shit again :p
