Chocolate!

Earlier I have won myself a Laurent Bernard 6pc Chocolate Gift Box from a blogger's contest. Went through a hell of a journey (walked for more than an hour to find the place) and I can say it's worth it. Just the perfect snack for sweet-tooth, like me. Simply indulgence!

For those of you who prefer bitter dark chocolate, maybe this box isn't exactly your taste, but you can give it a try. Each of it has its own filling, and I have tasted something like raspberry, or something fruity in it. Missed out the names and ingredients of the 6-pieces because I was all tired by the time I reached their outlet at Robertson Quay. This gift box costs about $20+, tad bit pricey, yet if you like chocolate that much, it's a try!

Well, I am generous enough to share this with him. Good things are meant to be shared, right! And he loves it too.

Pachelbel, Wild Chic (Classic yet Contemporary)

I was selected as one of the lucky three to review a newly launched collection from Pachelbel, renowned Singapore designer brand of Vegan Fashion. This new collection is called  "Wild Chic", and don't the name attracts you already. Yes for me, a lady in mid-20s. Combination of "Wild" and "Chic" somehow gives a connotation that this Wild Chic bag gives freedom in style and fashion. Practically, to me, this bag fits for all occasion and style. Love it to max!

It also has a flat hard base, that ensures that your bag can stand on its own as you leave it. No need to worry that your bag will slouch or end up laying on the floor. Besides that, this Wild Chic collection is improvised and comes at larger size. It has two exterior zipper compartments, and seven interior compartments, functioning like a built-in organizer. There's specific place for handphone, mini notebook, purse, umbrella, Ipad, files, etc. So no worry that things will get jumbled again. I love the fact that so much consideration has been put into the design and make it so practical for daily life use. 

Other than the above-said, one thing I must have for my bag is durability. Notice the metal ring holding the straps? it gives me extra assurance that the straps will hold all the weight. That's what I look for. I am the kind of person who can't leave the house without my water tumbler. And my smallest tumbler is at least 900ml, so imagine the weight of the water tumbler plus all necessary things I bring along each time I leave the house.

Speaking of which, this bag is made of jacquar material that is lighter than animal skin/leather bags. And of course, this bag require lesser care than leather (perfect for me because I don't really take extra care when using). This Black Jacquar also has fine details like the Pachelbel logo embroidery. So for those of you who are supporters of vegan fashion, you can try this designer brand.

 

This collection comes in five different colors, electric blue, hot pink, red, royal purple and jacquard black. So for those of you who prefers more vibrant color, fear not, you still get your pick. In summary, this bag can offer you so much that you can ask for; functionality, practicality, versatility, style, durability, and sustainability. Awesome, right!

Pictures time:

Fits any type of style or attire, agree?!

Verdict: Definitely worth the dollar, and endures with time and occasion.
p/s: I am already eye-ing on bags from other collections, like the M-Chic and Vow's. If only I have that much money in hand now, errgggg!!!

Introduction

Guess I don't have to go make any intro for the picture says it all.

Hi All,

Updating on my daily life here. Well, it's been a hell of a two weeks. I have started with my new/first/permanent job in the company above. (See if you're able to "google" the company!)

Verdict after two weeks: I wish I had not rushed into it and find myself a good company to start off. It's a small company, family-run business, so you can imagine the tauke-tauke controlling every single thing in the company = N.O. F.R.E.E.D.O.M. The job scope includes mundane tasks that require meticulous mind and extra-hours commitment (unfortunately, no extra pay), SO I don't think I can learn much here. Anyway, there's no time for regret now. Still very "blur" at work, and the person I'm replacing had left, so it's up to me on my own now. Pray hard I can make it.

Maybe you're thinking why don't I just leave and find another one. Well, credit that to my nationality and hassle of applying a work permit. I thought of it, but I have already gotten myself an in-principle work permit that time. I fear that if I reject/ withdrawn this application, there's probability that I cannot work here anymore. So that's why.

Stay on and preserve, that's the advice I gave myself!

Till then, more updates to come.

Pray for me that I will be all right.


Chaos.

I got it!

First of all, apology for being MIA for quite some time. Was busy with things, esp job hunting and settling down with the new life. After four years plus, I'm finally back for good. So much have changed, till I can't recognize it anymore. Anyway, frustrated with the "cold" reply (equivalent to no reply), I finally have the courage to call up to check if the vacancy has been filled. I managed to get an interview yesterday, and I was offered the job immediately after the interview session. Shocked yet happy. I actually made a quick decision in accepting the job offer. I was totally oblivious and agreed without much consideration. Though I kinda regret not discussing the terms in details ( and my stupidity for not requesting higher pay!!!), I am happy to have found myself a job this soon. It was like my third day here in Singapore. Good or Bad, I don't want to know. All I wish now is to perform well and learn in the process to gain more experience. Keep a positive mindset. Do my best to prove myself.

Oh ya, the title isn't really up for good because the company is currently facing some problem updating my info in the database in applying for work permit. Hopefully things can be resolved asap. If you're reading this, please pray for me so that my work permit application can be approved soon.

Still in midst on settling my things here, will update again soon.

p/s: I won some items that I would love to share my reviews after using them. Too bad, too bogged down with the new life now.

it's all done!

Finally my last examination has ended. Overall I put minimal hope in getting good results, I only pray that I grad successfully in Sept. Pray for me too.

It's a mix feeling of happy and sad. Sad because this is the worst ever in my four years, never thought I will do this terribly. Sad because if I managed to grad, I am officially an "adult" earning her own money, facing the big bad world alone. Happy because everything is over, it's a mini holiday time. Happy because I can finally throw away all my books. Happy because a new chapter begins.

 

Hopefully no more exam stress for me!

Now, it's time to pack pack pack and to all my friends/coursemates, I wish ya all...

bon voyage!

 

 

 

H.O.M.E my pillar of strength

Am back home now after Thur paper. An utter disappointment after four years. For the first time, I didn't write anything for my subjective part, a total of 60M. Seriously, I don't even know what am I thinking at that time. Regretted and regretted. Now I can only put my faith in Lord Almighty to help me through, and hopefully with His will, I can pass that paper. I can only hope so. No point thinking it over and over again. *for those of you who managed to read my post, pray for me as well. I totally don't expect flying colors, I only hope to pass my papers and graduate successfully*

So me, unwilling to stay in my miserable room, had decided to come back home. Back to get some love, care and food. After growing up living a separate life on my own, I cherish my time back here. I treat each trip as truly a holiday from everything. 

I finally broke the words to mommy that I want to start my career in Singapore, officially. As usual, she supports my decision. We talked quite alot this time, as compared to my usual trips because I get to meet mommy and daddy only a fraction of the day as they are all busy with work. I know they put high hopes in me, though they give their full support, either in study or future work. I am just afraid that I will disappoint them again and again. 

But their expectation will be my motivation. I will take it as an encouragement to never give up. From now on, it's on my own. Do my best, and achieve the best. One day, I want you all to be proud of your daughter, me. I want, I hope and I try.

It will be months before I will be back home again. The journey begins with your blessing. Thank you for being there for me.

disappointment!

Had my first paper for my last final examination.

As usual, lack of preparation, lack of time, lack of confidence, and most important, lack of memory skill ----> leads to disappointment BECAUSE I don't know how to do. Or should I be exact, I did not memorize my text book to be prepared for the exam. Even last minute of glancing through power point slides wasn't of much help.

Hai...

Typical me. But this time, it is different. I totally lack of motivation, in exam, and in life. I felt so lost. I rather spent my time on doing crappy stuff like FB-ing, sleeping, eating, or just slacking around. Seriously, I had slipped into such devastating state that I no longer want to try.

What disappoint me the most is, myself. In my old days, I will cry or hate myself for not doing well in my exam. But now! I feel okay for not doing well. This is bad, real BAD! Probably you notice that from the way I am writing now. I can still find time to blog about my failure. F*** me!

Well, that's all that I want to say. Hopefully I can and will graduate successfully. Bye bye 'yo.
