Just something to remember in the new year. :3

On another note, school starts tomorrow.

~ yosh yosh ~

 

Another year is finally upon us and I'm about to enter my second semester of Year 2 at Lasalle. It's really insane cause the day when I first entered university is fresh in my mind and it feels like it just happened a few weeks ago. But here we are - 2015 is upon us and also, the year in which I will turn 21. Also, it means another year until I graduate in 2016. ((((；゜Д゜))) I am really conflicted over that fact - I'm both looking forward to it, yet a bit nervous. What will my future career and path be? Then again, we've only entered 2015 so I will try not to worry excessively over such things, and instead focus on doing my ultimate best in the new year. (=^-ω-^=)

Many things happened in 2014 and I have forged some new friendships, known some people slightly better, as well as feeling that I've grown distant from some people, as a result of getting to know the person better and realizing that your personalities don't click, or that your interests differ and all. I guess this is inevitable as you guys start to grow closer (eventually becoming distant). However, I'm thankful for all my friends who have stuck by me through everything, seen me at my worst and weird moments, and I look forward to many more hilarious moments with them. They aren't classified as my 'best' and 'close' friends for nothing! ♡(˃͈ દ ˂͈ ༶ )

One thing I always do each year is to look at my archive on Tumblr. I feel that what I reblog or type about is really reflective of my interests/feelings and it's interesting to see if what I'm interested in changed, evolved into a greater interest or is something new. I will also reflect back on my resolutions each year. I may have broken some secret resolutions - things I hold dearly to my heart, too precious to type them out for the world to see. But we can't have it all, and time will slowly heal the wound.

Moreover, I'm not really sure if I managed to hold true to my last resolution, which was to "live it up a little", but to some extent, perhaps I did! The "a little" part saves me. XD

 

Some of my favourite people, I can't love and thank all of you enough.（●´∀｀）ノ♡

 

Am ending off with pictures of my bestie cause she's the best. Even though we only manage to meet each other now and then, we can always talk endlessly and share about anything. 

♡꒰*･ω･人･ω･*꒱♡

New Year Resolutions: 

1.  Continue to do well in university 
2.  Improve my drawing skills and make Purin x Burin a success with Daphne and Janet  
3. Dedicate time to meet up with my friends whom I've not seen for awhile due to time and schedule clashes
4. Maintain my weight and flexibility/exercise daily
5. Learn Japanese and be able to remember the basics (Hiragana and Katakana)

Twenty-fourteen, I'll kiss you goodbye, thanks for all the laughter and tears, the ups and downs. I look forward with much anticipation on what twenty-fifteen brings me. ♡

Hello my kittens! 

I actually have a lot of posts which I haven't blogged about cause I haven't had the time to take the pictures!! >< Totally behind my blogging schedule... Anyways I managed to get together a lovely post for you all today, and I'm really excited to share this with you hehe! Basically I met up with my darling neko 姐, Elaine, for lunch x tea yesterday and then we did some shopping. :3

Original Pancakes x Troubled Times and Listen To Your Heart Tea

@Real Food at Central

Tea time~

Mille-feuille from Dulcet and Studio at Liang Court

(Elaine had never seen such a pastry before haha!)

We headed to Kinokuniya after lunch cause I actually wanted to find a new makeup pouch(I didn't manage to find one huge enough to fit my eyebrow pencil in the end), and Elaine wanted to get nanoblocks. Of course, there's always the Japanese stationery section at Kino which is just（●´∀｀）ノ♡  (∩˃o˂∩)♡.

I finally purchased Japanese magazines - I've always wanted to cause of the freebies you get along with the magazines, hehe - and a bunch of cute items from San-x. I'm just going to let the pictures do the talking but I swear I wanted to purchase SO MANY KAWAII ITEMS but I managed to restrain myself and ended up with these few.

P.S: Warning: photo spam cause I loved them too much I kept snapping pictures XD

Combined photo and close up

Photo of just the magazines x free bags I received along with them.

I'm soooo happy cause I finally own an item from Angelic Pretty. ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ)

The Alice in Wonderland bag is made of felt and was smaller than I expected, measuring 16 x 23 x 6cm. I also thought it would be made of cloth instead of the harder felt, but it's still cute nonetheless, plus it'll go well with my Alice in Wonderland lolita coord which I'm putting together for AFA/Halloween. ♡ 

The Angelic Pretty tote(?)/bag is sooo beautiful, I'm simply over the moon hehe. It is from their Day Dream Carnival series and is really roomy! It measures 34.5 x 30.5 x 13.5cm and can fit an A4 sized folder. It's definitely something which I'll be carrying about daily. The plus point is that it appears to be waterproof as it's similar to a plastic material? (Sorry I'm not extremely good in identifying materials for bags ><)

I tried to take close up shots of the Angelic Pretty bag for you guys.

I also purchased some pencil covers as well as Sentimental Circus stationery.

The one on the left is a pen whilst the right one is a mechanical pencil.

I'm honestly trying to get more cutesy/Japanese items for my wardrobe/stationery haha! Even though the prices for the pen and pencil were rather costly (around $8.10), it's seriously so worth it cause the items are really cute and well made hehe! :3 Plus I really wanted to reward myself with some cute san-x items so - purchase justified! XD

The last item I purchased was this Sentimental Circus towel/handkerchief. It is sooo darn cute and was such a steal at $2.60 so I just threw it in with the rest of my items. (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

It's really soft and I can't wait to use it!

There were a bunch of other kawaii items which I was super tempted to purchase such as a Rilakkuma recyclable tote, Sentimental Circus mugs as well as a whole lot of notebooks/letter sets. Perhaps next time hehe... *covers face*

Thankfully Elaine had membership card for Kinokuniya so I managed to get members' discount for all my items! I'm seriously going to borrow her card more often hahaha.

Hello my fellow kittens! :3 

So a few weeks back I decided to count the number of chokers I owned on a whim, and found out that I actually owned sixteen of them. Whoops. XD

However, I actually only wear a selected few of them! Plus I cheated a teensy bit cause some of the chokers here are handmade by me for sale.

   Combined photo of my chokers

All the lace chokers.

Top four black lace chokers are entirely handmade.

Bottom three chokers were purchased via Taobao (I am also retailing them on my shop if anyone is interested.)

Close up

I haven't had a chance to wear these out yet, but I really love them hehe :3

Embroidered chokers

Some of these can feel a tad scratchy against my neck (having sensitive skin doesn't help either), so I'm considering selling these off/ reinforcing the back with satin ribbon as a protection. (:

Velvet chokers

The Adventure Time one is simply my favourite. ^^

The last three photos are what I am currently selling. 

All chokers come with black satin ribbon endings, and I do ship internationally!

(P.S: The lace choker is elastic and extremely comfortable.)

♡

I started wearing chokers since last year, and I have to say if you are just starting out with this neck accessory, you might want to choose a velvet choker to get used to it, as the material is much softer and therefore more comfortable. (: 

What I like about ribbon endings is also the fact that you are able to decide how tight you want the choker to be! 

Black and white is a staple colour in my wardrobe - there's simply something irresistible about it. Many times I have to restrain myself from purchasing yet another black/white piece of clothing. *hides face* XD
I've been looking for a basic white shirt for awhile so I was really glad to find this at a good steal of SGD9.90! ^^

This post also marks the start of this blog and I'm hoping to be able to update it quite frequently as it will be easier for me to place all my reviews and ootds in one place. x
