An unusual brunch date that leads to a promised gathering in 2018

Had a very special brunch date today, my followers on Instagram would have seen a few pics that I had uploaded earlier. 

Spaghetti with Seafood in Tomato Sauce

I didn't change my phone but using my own phone to capture this instead. I posted this photo on WeChat earlier and people kept asking whether I had changed my phone. How did I manage to take photo if my phone was on the table, right? The phone was somebody else's where she complained that casing for iPhone 5 is so difficult to find now, and I asked her to change to a newer version, heh.

Introducing my date of the day, 

Well, after I have posted this photo on Instagram, a lot of my friends have been asking which guy is this I'm dating with. I'm very sorry to disappoint you guys that she is not a guy. 

She is a she, HAHA.

So you must be thinking why was this casual brunch date special, what made it so unusual as I've been mentioning about it. 

Did you notice that I was actually holding a pen trying to write something?

That's the point! What was I writing?

So, this girl had an idea of sending each other a letter to the 3-year-later us. That means I had to write a letter answering the questions she prepared for me to a 3-year-later her, and vice versa. And basically I was forced to think a few questions for her, spontaneously.

It took me time at first as she had prepared the questions earlier at home. Then I found that it was so heart-felted and warm yet there was one thing that I could not guarantee is that I would still remember where I had kept the paper 3 years later :p

We had talks and jokes when we just started writing until both of us got into a serious writing mode. I suddenly realized that it had been a long time since the last time I was doing this kind of stuff, making cards, writing letters. I miss those days, regardless to whom I am doing these for, but to really show appreciation and to feel appreciated.

I wrote too long and even needed extra papers, but this girl was silently taking selfies -_-

in progress of writing, serious mode: ON

Till we got the letters done, and promised each other not to open it until 3 years later, which is going to be 21st July, 2018. It is quite a long time to go, but think about it, it was 2012 three years ago, and now it is already 2015. It sounds like I'm talking crap but this actually brings me to deep thoughts.

No matter how will it be 3 years later, I sincerely hope that you're living a happy life, doing better than ever. Never give up on your dreams as I have faith in you.

Till our next gathering!

p/s: I have no idea why did you take a panorama view of me but thanks for all the decent photos! :)

ooh too sexy that I couldn't breathe

Giveaway by Hermo

The mailman came yesterday with a parcel in his mini van, I was waiting for its arrival since last week! Have a look and guess what I got!

This packaging looks familiar, right? YAS, it was from Hermo but NOPE, I didn't do any purchase this time! *evil grin* It was something from the giveaway!!! Let's proceed to the unwrapping of the box...

I could already smell the scent of green tea while I was unwrapping the box! And it was so so so nice. The product was also wrapped in bubble plastic which gave it an extra protection so it could reach me safe and sound *bubbles popping sound*. 

Here it came the Green Tea Cleansing Foam from Innisfree! I've never tried this brand before, but already heard tons of good comments about it. Hermo made my first try of Innisfree come true! 

<3

So you must be curious that how did I actually win the giveaway, heheheh.

What I can say is, I was really lucky for winning that. I didn't really believe in "luck", but sometimes you just couldn't deny it.

It happened when I commented on a post on Hermo's Instagram page (hermomy), regarding the giveaway.

Green tea related stuffs usually attract me easily, and its milky green colour attracted me more. And of cos that time the giveaway was still open, so I was thinking why not give it a try? I only needed to comment anything without any special requirements or R&R, it was definitely worth a try.

So my comment was as shown as below:

Yes, it was just as simple as that! I didn't expect to win or anything, just wanted to be catchy and fun. And I basically forgot about it after I had done commenting. HAHA

Until a notification like this came the next day,

I was about to go out that time, and when I checked my phone... OK idk how to describe the feeling. As I found it unbelievable, I had won the giveaway! I thought that July's gonna be good, crossing my fingers. And it was a Thursday evening when I submitted my details to Hermo, and I live in East Msia so I understand that it actually took time for my parcel to arrive. And YAS I received my parcel yesterday, on Tuesday afternoon! :)

It was such a great experience and it boosted a little of my faith in luck now hahah. And of cos Hermo itself is a trusted company with various beauty products to be chosen, turnin' beauty in a click! I have had a few times of shopping experience with Hermo, and have already now become one of my current obsessions :p (shh...)

Before I'm off from the line, here's a promo code to share with you guys. YASSS, PROMO CODE, which means you can use it to get discount by purchasing goods of total RM100 and above. Don't think that RM100 is a huge amount cos you will know how hard it is to resist yourself when you start browsing thru the products they have! The promotion is valid until 19th July :)

The PROMO CODE is: *hint hint*

Hope you enjoy your online shopping and it's time for me to try out my new Innisfree Green Tea Cleansing Foam from Hermo! See you and you will see me in clear and nice skin I hope, heheh.  xx

Too good to be true

Hello Maldives!

HAHAHAH JK.

Of cos I'm not in Maldives, I'm only in a pic which I got from Google last night trying to paste myself in. I tried to fool my friends too but obviously I still need to level up my editing skills first. Yet I'm kinda satisfied with this as I did it using only MS Paint and some Instagram filter.

I had fun doing this last night and uploaded to my Instagram, and got busted within an hour's time (oh well...). But the main purpose of this was only for fun, so I hope this actually entertained you when you scroll thru my post on your feed! :p

Oh and, don't worry, the travel posts I'm writing soon are definitely original photos which I had taken back from the trips. 100% genuine without editing, I promise!!! Don't lose trust on me just because of this edited photo! HAHA till then!

Stop waiting & start doing

Hello July! Ok I admit that I wanted and tried to start this with a more special way but I suck at this. So yeah, hello people! It's the first day of July and people out there they are doing the "new month new me" thing again, and I'm not being judgmental but at least I'm trying to remind myself that everyday is a brand new day if I treat it as one. You can always have a new start whenever you get a new day, or perhaps you can just start it off the next second. You just need not to wait.

It sounds convincing, but perhaps not from a person like me. I still believe in "good things come to those who wait", so I will be constantly waiting. JK, when I say that I mean when something which is out of your control, or maybe something unpredictable which comes surprisingly great. Perhaps it should be changed to "good things come to those who has patience", it could be patiently waiting, patiently being persistent, patiently *adds verb* whatever you do. I guess it would then be applicable to everyone.

I don't have really big plans for this coming month, half of the year has passed and I am glad that it went well although it went up & down. Yet it was good, I had almost completed what I wanted to complete, esp studies. I could say I had put twice my effort compared to last year's and I know I could do even better and I'm putting myself on this challenge for next semester. (Please keep reminding me if you read this, cos you know I'm always forgetful, and demotivated :p)

I don't have any really big plans yet I have a few things to try out and also consistently doing them. First of all is to keep writing blogs. It takes me quite some time to think of what to blog about nowadays, and I always end up not writing at all, but I still wanna record and write. So I'm gonna get myself back to the blogging routine, not to say to improve my skills, at least to get it maintained. Besides that, I'm kinda interested in handlettering recently, and am thinking to develop some penmanship and calligraphy skills! It sounds interesting, isn't it? heheheh ok, maybe only to me.

Last but not least, I'm gonna start posting travel photos from last year cos I suddenly got the urge to do so again. So stay tuned! x
