Ten years down.

Ten years, quick and easy - just flies like that.

Thanks to the #10yearchallenge , I thought it would also be nice to pen down my thoughts at this moment while reminiscing what I've been through the past ten years and to see whether I had a drastic change ! :D 

Ten years ago, I did my O'levels and graduated , I had a boyfriend, and I was looking forward to what life had installed for me. Within these ten years, I did my diploma, I fell into depressed mode, broke up with my then boyfriend, I had my down time. It was tough, real tough and I hated those days. Never a day was a looking forward to school, but thankfully I managed to strap it through. I met my BFF in school, and I'm glad we held hands and pull through those dark days and that we are in a much better place now. I spent a lot of time on the internet, there's when I made a lot of friends from the internet got closer with some of them. I remember a period when I was very active in blogging and I had products sent to my house weekly for product reviews!

I was fancy. I liked my nails to be painted all the time. I always try to look my best, quirky, spends a lot of money on clothes and basically things that would make me pretty - it was to boost my self- esteem

Ten years down, I matured, I am no longer in a relationship with someone else but in a better relationship with myself. I now had a Bachelor Degree that I fought for, some skillset up my belt and a future that I'm not quite sure about. These days, I grown to care more for others, and I know, I have so much more to achieve.

I stopped my bi-weekly manicures. These days I would only have my nails painted occasionally over festive seasons. I stopped trying to impress people, I care for my own comfort more. I wear what I like, I make myself like myself more.

We all have come far haven't we ?

Life, what challenges are you going to throw me next ?

Loves,

10 things I did to save more money

I mean like it's quite obvious that this is semi occupation hazard but also good practices that I would always keep in mind.

1. Save at least 30-50% of your income automatically. 
   One practice that most of us don't practice and I'm kinda guilty for that as well. I used to diligently do that when I was holding an office job and things got off when I went back to school and doing freelancing work. It's a phrase and I feel that it does get harder as we grow older, but I'm striving to get this good habit back on track after my transition period as well.
2. Have two jobs, save 100% of one salary
   Because I no longer have a fixed pay, every month I had variable amounts and they comes in at different days of the month. It makes savings much tougher and cash flow harder to keep track. What I did was to keep one incoming salary to a separate bank so it naturally become part of my savings :)
3. Let your savings work harder.
   The simplest way is to do some "homework" and park your money in a bank that gives the best interest rate. An even better way is to set aside a portion of the savings and sign up for an endowment plan, I suggest a shorter term eg 5 years, and then review every five years, just in case of a disruption. A shorter term endowment plan works well for freelancers like myself since we do not contribute to CPF and we "lose out" from the employer CPF contribution portion too. The 5-year endowment plan serve as a "CPF contribution" with less flexibility compared to the bank but you know you can get it out in an agreed date (policy maturity date).
4.  Buy things during sales.
   One of my shopaholic practices is that I would barely buy anything full retail price. While I am really very grateful that I have amazing family and friends around that are able to give me amazing discounts and deals, I am seldom tempted by impulse purchase which brings me to the next point.
5. Only buy things you need 
   I'm a girl and I like pretty, fine things. I love my Louis Vuitton and Chanel bags and I cannot lie! People often buy things to impress and we don't think through when we are at the moment. If you really have to, do a price comparison first.
   
   p/s : Here we are talking about big ticket items.
   
   Some questions I usually ask myself before I buy :
   Q : Would I be able to use this item everyday ?
   Q : If not, will I see myself using it 5-10 years later ?
   Q : Is the price worth its quality ?
   Q : Do I really need it ?
6. Do a price comparison - Taobao might not always be the cheapest!Don't get me wrong. I love Taobao and I've been getting my stuff from Taobao since my secondary school days. Back in those days we use agent to daigou for us and we have to send in our orders in excel format, for real. What I realise these days is that we have so many other e-commerce sites that makes taobao not the cheapest option anymore.
   For example , this LED lit mirror / lamp
   It was the same price on taobao and hipvan after the chinese dollar conversion, but! it was overall cheaper when I use Hipvan because there's free shipping/delivery plus there was a discount code on it. If I were to make the purchase through taobao, I would have to worry about the shipping fee and any complications (every electronic thing has this), the electric plug etc.
   
   Same situation for my purchase on my Xiaomi Air Purifier from Lazada too.
   
   
7. Less is more. 
   
   Sell away things that duplicates or no longer in use. 
   Rarely use ? = sell.
   I could totally give it away or get some cash back for whatever item it can. The choice is up to individual, while I feel that it does make a person feel much better when you paid for a purchase and you get back cash for it.
8. Learn to share
   Sharing is caring, indeed! One simple yet good example was carpooling, ride hitching and sharing accounts - opt in to share a Netflix Account or friends to come together for a Spotify Family account.
   Talking about gadgets, currently I had sold my cameras and is only solely using my mobile while occasionally borrowing Yongwei's #jennythedrone for travel or commissioned work. It IS an expensive toy but I think it is not whether you can afford one or not but more like the the chances of me utilizing.
   My friends and I sometimes share our wardrobe too (mostly my friends coming to borrow my clothes). There are days we need to attend one formal event once in maybe three blue moon so there's absolutely pointless to make a purchase for that occasion, so you borrow.
9. Invest in quality productsI spend alot of money in quality items.
   Quality over Quantity anytime.
   I believe in the value of how it is made, the practicality of the material used and design behind it.That being said would need a lot of research to be done, on its brand, quality reviews etc.
   
   With the right brand, it is definitely worth the penny over the long run.
10. Make more money to buy what you want.
    An extra side job, a small online business or investments instruments. No one relies on one income to make money - it is not possible. The toughest yet best way to gain more savings would be to make more money through investments or starting having a side income. 

"Savings & investment are all you're left with after a career. Education, certificates, experiences eventually become useless"  

I hope it's useful! Good luck!

Whirlwind

It's crazy, before I could update on the space about the start of my 2016, 2017 has ended and so is the first quarter of 2018. Here's a summary.

In 2016, I completed my unfinished business (overdue modules from school). Phew, no more crying and reading and studying at the same time. And also completed 4 basic sets of exams from SCI (Singapore College of Insurance). Became a financial services consultant at the end of that year, while I enjoyed the job scope as much as I did, I was still doing what I love - teaching and training.

I hope that answers everyone who's asking me about what do I really do. I train/coach, I give tuition (still, to my existing students) and I also I advise on financial planning.

And I still do, I have a clear vision for what I envision. The difference now? I left the company that I joined in Nov 2016.

There's so many things to say; it was not a decision I made over a fortnight, not influenced by any and most importantly - it came from the heart. While part of me still have mixed feelings for the change, I'm grateful and I'm excited for better things to come.


Loves,

Struggles of 2017

The greatest struggle of all is - to keep this online diary alive. Most of the people that I know personally and majority of the public views everyone with a blog as a blogger and they are a scam and always get freebies. Unfortunately I dont, I do occasionally get invites from my influencer friends for parties/food tasting/product launch etc but personally, I have NEVER email any company to get something in return.My blog still truly stand as a publicly viewed online journal of my personal snippets and highlights in life that I want to remember, mostly happy stuff. thankfully.

In 2017, I was so busy that I don't even know what I was busy with, I drafted more  more than 40 posts, but they never made it to the light. I'm also guilty for towards my PR friends who have been patiently waiting for my review about products and food and whatever lah, and I took forever. I also wasn't able to keep up with my monthly highlight series - which I curated to make my life easier by summarizing everything for the month into one post. I kinda stopped after the death of my iphone 6s  but I promise they will be out soon! They are all in my drafts wtf.

The next struggle has to be my work life. As most would know, I'm contracted as a Financial Services Consultant with one of the Top3 insurers in Singapore, as much as I enjoyed the job, there were more downs than ups, with I am still coping as a soft skills trainer and still teaching my private tuition classes.

Life's been pretty rocky and I'm trying.

Thank you my little angels (the you reading this) for staying by and keeping up with me.


With tons of love this time,
A.

ONLY THREE

The BFFL and I had been really busy for the past few months in whatever we were doing and we hardly had time for each other so much so that I missed her so much. While I spent most of my morning and late night procrastinating, I was also trying out "The rule of Only Three" to manage my time and lifestyle a little better. I've been trying out for a while and was sharing it with the BFF so I thought why not do up an entry about it and who knows, I might benefit someone else.

p/s : I came out with the tittle of "The Rule of Only Three" but it is just part of my nonsensical Angie Theory. I'm sure there's a more prof way or has been credited for something similar like that. If there's an official term for it, do let me know!

The idea of it was first shared with me by Mint where she mentioned that we should not overwork ourselves by doing more than 3 things at a time. At that period of time, I had several "jobs" up my sleeve! I was getting my income from my Full-time then part time Client Service Associate position in a MNC, a virtual personal assistant, teaching private tuition and at the same time, a full time student at SIM. That would mean that I had to juggle between work and school. Most of the days I slept at 3-4am whereby I would spent my breaks in between lectures to email/speak/liase with clients, do up my admin stuff and then to teach tuition or be in the office, only after I'm done with what puts bread on my table, I would start on studying for test, working on my assignments. I was so exhausted I would take any bus ride my nap session. I quit my office job eventually but I was still very much overwhelmed with work. After she shared the idealogy with me, I kinda felt that it made sense and that I should also improve on how to balance and make use of my time more efficiently. So I started to drop and give up opportunities after my graduation and limit myself to only FOCUS on 3 things at a time which was teaching and being more proactive in outdoor activities.

It was quite tough to begin with, as I struggled with my own emotions about having lesser income, not able to sustain my previous lifestyle and things like that. Slowly, I got the hang of it and then I moved on to only do 3 things in a day. For example, I would only go to three different locations in a day and nothing more that. On a teaching day, that would mean that I can only teach 3 students at 3 locations in a day before I tire myself out mentally. Another example of a typical day would be, T1: Practice my electone ; T2 : Prepare notes and worksheets for my students ; T3 Dinner plans.

I do feel that it helped to balance that delicate level for my time management, while I need to learn to manage my own feelings and emotions, it decreased my anxiety and put me into more effort in each. New and good habits are going to take some time to stay so hopefully I can maintain it!

Loves,
A.

I can't wait to be better things in life, be a better me, and just keep going. May I be able to continue whatever I enjoy and what I feel right, for as long as I want to.

Happy New Year Babe!
We still have 3 more months to finish off the year, but I am proud of me so far for this is one of my best achievement year. I really think I did quite a lot, and some that I never thought I would.
Good job me, I did SNSC Level 1, got my Class 3 License, finished my education with a Bachelors', just to name some. I'm sure I'm up for some new ventures and a brighter future. Isit now that I can start to live for myself? I am not sure, I hope so and please be.

Year 23, what am I expecting in the next 365 days?

Loves,

A little more, 2016

p/s: this is like a personal reflection so.. it is probably gonna bore you.


In the year of 2016, I started the year without any fireworks viewing, no fancy outfit, no party make up, no squeezing in the countdown parties crowd, no alcohol,no pictures, no everything but spending the last hour of 2015 with the people who matter most. It was cozy, quiet, but close to heart. And we did online shopping and bought a $100 + bag. #HUATZ

Looking back, 2015 had been a year of reflections and soul searching.
Despite not having much achievement, I (surprisingly) surpass my happy quota, and may I continue to exceed it in the upcoming year.

Oopsies that I took so long to publish this as I was barely breathing from the things I were doing. I enjoyed them but it's pulling me away from this little space so I was glad that I found some time on a Sunday morning, finishing up this post that should have been published on the first week of January. Anyway still before Chinese New Year la hor, still in time ok.

Instead of doing a typical New Year blog post that I would not fulfill, I thought of just sharing how I can achieve things a little more in the said time frame of 365 days. I've also accepted the fact that goal setting did not work for me,fml. It's quite tough to accept that crushed feelings after you have a plan, trying to work towards it and it exploded. Later, I found out that it has something to do with my horoscope. Thus, le me is learning to accept it.

Learn, a little more.

The more places I go, the more people I meet, the more things I get in touch to in the previous year made me felt so little. There are so much things I do not know, and that I should not shut myself up. Last November, I took up a HR role in a SME and went with an open mind. Looking forward this year, I hope I would be exposed to more things, like more skills and knowledge based items. Keeping my fingers crossed too for trips that I have in mind and experiences that I have never thought of!

Care, a little more. 

I think it is about time to contribute back to the society. I am so busy that I often missed out people who has been trying to meet me up. I was so exhausted JUST by catching up with gatherings that I also missed some. See you all soon!!! I was so into making money I barely spent time with my close ones physically and communicate with them via the whatever ways. Thus, moving forward, I would like to spend time with them, a little more. :) I would also like to try to contribute to some charities or organizations for young children. Teach them music or something.

 

Open up, a little more. 

How well do you know me?
And how well do I know myself?

As I try my best to clear off my mental clutter, I want to give myself a chance to know myself better.
Especially this transition period between school and getting back to the workforce. I am generally a happier person now, and really working hard for my mental health. I think that is my main focus to build on for the year. To make it happen, I want to set aside some time to do soul-searching and explore myself. Hopefully, a better me by the end of the year.

 

Believe, a little more. 

Very blessed to meet Dean again on roomiesCD launch and other session we had as he shared with me the Law of Attraction. I felt that it was extremely helpful for me and it reduced my mental distress that I was going through at that point of time. I remember my homework was to "Believe in Love", which I would want to work on it too. It's tough la, really, when you are in pieces already and people still step on the broken pieces to make it into smaller pieces wtf.

Anyway, I will love myself first and always love the people who loves me. I will also believe in the things I can do, to do better and the ones I can't, that I can.

So I would love, a little more.

I can't believe I actually wrote such positive words.
Well, just a little more.

 Follow the flow, a little more. 

I met this fortune teller uncle in the middle of the 2015 who told me to stop thinking. Stop thinking about anything and just follow the flow like a piece of driftwood. Someone's gonna realise the beauty of the driftwood and appreciate it. It was also him that allowed me to realise a very severe condition- my thoughts conducts my body's behavior. It might not sound as bad as it seems but it WAS.

No matter how healthy I ate, I am always sick.
No matter what I do, I can't sleep.

Now, I know. It was all my unnecessary thoughts and expectations I had that was pulling me down.  The moment I lost myself in my own thoughts, my body failed me. I was mentally ill, therefore it resulted in my bad health ( food poisoning, insomnia and etc) My doctor also asked me to stop thinking so much la wtf. A little achievement unlocked was that I'm no relying on medication to sleep well!





Being part of the process,I had to learn how to make mistakes and accepting the mistake. It was one of the greatest challenges of last year but I think it was one of the best keynotes that I made myself went through. Pure mental torture for the Virgo but I'm glad that I had support. <3 Still learning to accept thou!

Go have fun, a little more.

Aiya, for this... If time permits la.
Recently I was exposed to sports (Wtf right I know) and gotten my SNSC level one cert!
Looking forward to go kayaking again, I actually quite miss the sport.
I kinda wanna be out under the sun more often, and have a much more active lifestyle.
That's something for me to note.
And generally have more fun la, THERE'S SO MUCH WE CAN DO! HAHA #crazycells

Grow, a little more. 

Not sideways. But emotionally, physically strong and mentally too!
I want to be more independent, more thoughtful and a little bit more talented.
I've also been training and teaching young children and teenagers but at the same time they are also teaching me things that I do not know. Being part of their life, influencing and growing with them has been a joy. Perhaps a stronger personality?

Level up, a little more.

Sometimes I felt that my life is all about collecting certificates..
There's never ending tests, assignments and examinations. 
Hoping to be a licensed driver soon and pass my damn Grade 6 Electone exams.
Also aiming to learn Thai and Japanese and be a certified diver!

Not forgetting, my bachelor's degree and financial stability.

That's quite a lot of things to work on and I should stop.
While I float around in my ocean, I really hope I can make improvements to my life little steps at a time.

May we all be better.

Loves,
A.

16 things that I've realised by 22

So it has been a couple of weeks since I legally turned 22. ( I told people I was 22 so much that I thought I was turning 23 on Sept 15 FML) Anyway I wanted to just pen down some things that I've learnt for the past ten years cause it has been revolutionary. K Kidding, not so serious. But many things did change/happen drastically for the past ten years and I thought it would be nice that I note it down for memories sake. Maybe ten years later I could write about it too, and maybe another ten year series. This post is gonna be so real and personal and wordy, just FYI.

Look, ten years ago, I was 12, over independent little bitch taking PSLE (around the time la). Reflecting through the teenagers years and now, I realised many things...

#1 : I have been blogging for almost ten years. 

HAHAHAH I started in Secondary one, for some school project and kept a personal blog that ii typee lyke tis, Aboutt maiix daily life 4 quite some tiime. wtf. I started a new blog (THIS) two years ago, to start a new journey because of manyyyyyy things. Blogging is one of the things that I'm glad I did, and continue doing. I made so many friends through the cyber space and had so much of my memories that I could kept going back to. <3 Like many others, I also did level up my blogging fun, eg making use of the hype and getting perks. It was all good, and views were a big deal to me. Not anymore now, which brings me to the next point.

#2 : Attention is not LOVE.

I admit I WAS an attention whore. I enjoyed/liked/yearned to be the limelight and get all the attention, cause that's the way I thought I was loved. It took me a couple of years to realise that I traded off many things for that short attention I gotten. In return, I lost people's respect, my love and cheapen myself. I'm not sure to say if I regretted it, but if I could turn back time, I probably would do things differently. I would have stopped the public attention to be someone else's everything. 

#3 : Letting things go. 

"Forget the past, and move forward", it's something that I always have in mind and I know it was right for me to do. Letting things go takes time, and it is easier said that done. After leaving secondary school and moving on to the next phrase was to me the toughest to me. There were so many things that happened in the first six month of my poly life, I found myself trapped in a hell hole and my whole world collapsed. I was not able to make the right decisions for myself and I was helpless. It is painful and really not easy to let go. I would NEVER want to go through that painful three years again. Nonetheless, it was when I met my BFF,Adeline, so I guessed she made things up la. Support from my secondary school friends like Jocelyn (&classmates), and ST made me felt a lot better but occasionally I still live in my past. But I'm still trying, to let go of all those things. 

#4 : Livin' in the past.

I would like to think that it was because I didn't had a closure for many things that happened in that horrible three years in NYP. I was so unhappy I had so many "if only,". Only to recently, I felt that like I really need to stop living in the past and be so unhappy about it. At 22, I want to wake up from that bubble.

#5 : It doesn't matter. 

Growing up taught me to understand that there are many things that just doesn't matter anymore. Don't have to be so fussy about things and make people's life easier. Can't believe I used to be that spoilt brat. 

#6 : Quality not quantity.

Here I'm talking about friends. One can has a million friends and none is good. I'm glad I had a couple quality friends that shows support, love, and different ways of care and concern. And that is enough.Thank you all for being there for me, I can't be any grateful. You know who you are! 

#7 : Friendship is not measured by time. 

It doesn't matter how long you know that person, or how much time that person spends with you. It's about how supportive one can be, at least to me. The people that matters most to be comes in at different phrases of my life, 

#8 : Talk topics are more real now. 

From conversations like how that girl next door is such a bitch to useless comments on BGR and my blabbering, I've mastered the skill of  having a conversation with anyone about anything under the sun. Talk to me, about anything. *flickhair*

#9 : Ageing is real. 

Sigh. 

#10 : Being a girl is tough. 

Real tough. I hate to accept the fact that I had to deal with the menstrual cycle and having it ruin my life. 

#11 : Making your time work for you 

At 20, I finished my diploma and joined a MNC as a non-executive staff. I left a year later to pursue my bachelor which I've yet to complete at this point of time. Through the transition period, I had learnt to make my time work for me by maximising my earnings. I realised that I was no longer working at sorta like an fixed hour based pay but stretching my payout to be so much more worth it with lesser working hours.I wished I knew how to it earlier. And no, it is not MLM :) 

#12 : Just step out of your comfort zone. 

Take baby steps, but be uncomfortable. That's how you learn the most.
No one likes to be uncomfortable you just have to get used to it.

#13 : Travel

Travelling has a different meaning to me now. Ten years ago, I just want to get out of the country to enjoy myself , to explore. Now, each trip is a learning journey. Each trip has its own lessons and values that I can look back. 

#14 : Stretch that dollar 

Make your dollar work harder for you, purchase more with that same dollar, make the most out of that dollar.

#15 : Silence is golden 

#16 : Think further. 

Some of my friends would disagree on this point , cause all they want me to do is to stop thinking of things. Think forward, think of what leads to the future. Shape it.

Everything happens for a reason, and probably these are the things I would look back and tell the 16 year old me; the one that's just fresh off from secondary school; doing her first job, getting her first pay. Life's a journey, isn't it ?


Loves,

Last Christmas....

Merry Christmas! There’s 12 days to Christmas right(?) and it just so happened that today's the 12th day. No I kid. I drafted this and scheduled for publishing. I had a blast on the Christmas day itself so much that it drained out all the energy reserved for the whole year wtf. The day started off at the Iserals ( my ex colleague’s family) Christmas Party, it was more of a catch-up and all. I love her place so much, it is always so cozy and Christmas just leveled up its coziness.  The host, my BFF at work, Lexine, took the effort to create a photo area with backdrop and props wtf.

 

I’m so glad I met her while working and thankful that she always had me in mind. <3 Thanks babe and family for having me in the afternoon.

After a yummy lunch at the Iserals, I had to rush home to prepare as we planned an evening visit to the Gardens By the Bay!Went for the party earlier with my bare face cause I was so lazy. Mehhhhhhh.

Andy bought the tickets from the official website and I’m not sure if there were a promo, but we paid $18 each to enter both the domes. It was my first time to the Cloud Dome despite visiting the Flower Dome several times. There also some free exhibits/ light displays at the open area and it was pretty crowded. Walao you all no need eat Christmas dinner one meh! Here’s some visuals to share!

My camera was too cold so my pictures looked smoky.

Both of us got precious shoes so we didn't join them to get some snow stepping on the mud.

End up the wind blew and the snow flew out.

Here’s to the last part of my day – picking my travel Khaki up from the airport! It’s been ages since we had everyone together, all of us were so busy. But anyway, Leemei’s coming back for good!

 We had a mini surprise or prank ( can’t decide for that) for her and had supper the ever popular Swee Choon for dimsum together with our serious yet hilarious conversations.

It’s 5 am in the morning while I draft this blog post out and I’m reporting for work in a few hours time. Can’t be any grateful for all this amazing people in my life. My Thursday wee hours well spent wtf.

Well… Bye for now.

Loves,

Graduation day

So it is my graduation day about a month ago, nothing really to be happy about or special about it.
I decided to blog about it probably because I never expected to have got it. I think I was a complete idiot when I was in poly, my results were super bad and I didn't enjoy AT ALL.  HAHAHAHAHA

Gosh I feel old !!!

CHONGBOON PEEPS!

Here are a list of people I want to thank as I complete my diploma studies. :')

Thank you C for helping me with all the poly decision making, and maybe your love too. Would appreciate if I could have you for a longer period in my life. Nonetheless, thanks for everything you ever done for me. x

Thank you cliquey ( Jocelyn, Diyan, Lena, Jinling, Koey ) for all the moral support when I was facing difficulties in school.

Thank you my year one classmates (Huixian, Grace, xinyi, jasmine, joey) for helping me with my school work.

Saveur

Finally a chance to try out the popular affordable restaurant that serve french food, Saveur!
Met up with my clique-y after work for dinner and I suggested that place cause we all wanted to have dinner below $20 per pax. Jocelyn said no problem to keep within our budget and I gave her my benefit of doubt.

 With Lena & Jocelyn, while waiting for the other two peep.

 Starter : Pasta & Green Salad

Indeed, the portion was really small. 

We shared the starters and it only seems like each of us had a few bites only.

 HAHA, we didnt celebrate Lena's birthday so I decided to get her favourite tiramisu from my favourite tiramisu store, THE TIRAMISU HERO. That's a Nonna Hero by the way.

Ordering at Saveur is really easy, either you order duck , chicken or fish.
Simple english. Mains were not more than SGD $12.

 Duck

 Chicken

 Fish

My say: 

The food was better than average however the portion was not very fulfilling, but again, it's french cuisine and I think french cuisine aint very much to be filling. Our total bill came to be less than $20 per pax for starters + main + drink. Therefore, I don't think I can really complain much about the food with the price.I would recommend this place to girls who have a really small appetite and those on diet but want to have something sinful. This is the place for you. 

We queue for about 30 mins before we could have a seat on the eve of a public holiday and it could have been longer if we came later. (We queued at 6pm) To have a comfortable dinner, I suggest to arrive earlier to get a table.
