Procrastinating Professional!

'Ello Mate! (fake british accent)

Right now I'm on holiday, yet it's not exactly a holiday because I have to revise for exams which are in less than 2 weeks time. This is where the problem begins...

At the start of the holiday (about 3 weeks ago) I was extremely passionate about revising; I made a study plan, had determination, printed out all my notes!! Things were going great and I was actually studying. Then came the week after, and everyone was back from elsewhere, and I started going out, and I started working more.. Then I lost the determination to study, and became extremely good at procrastinating. I would clean up my room (yet it's still a mess), watch TV, go out more, eat, play Candy Crush Saga (very addictive game btw!) and then try and study for a bit but nothing would go in :( I am actually very stressed about my upcoming exam and I do try to study but I cannot remember ANYTHING I have learnt! Help me!

Yes so that is my dilemma..

As for the time since I blogged~ I love taking pictures of myself haha so enjoy :P

OOTD today

With filter and cropped

OOTD sometime last week

And today at work was dead.. so I started taking pictures haha! Took some with Sarah my workbuddy as well :)

Oh hello!

Pout + Mono

Cheese!

I love the brightness of this photo! Plus the flawless looking skin! <3

And they had chocolates at work~ Thought I'd be artistic haha

I absolutely adore Ferrero Rochers <3 If you look at the close up, you'll see that my OCDness has caused me to attempt to face every label in the same direction 

Okay I will try and sleep now!

With my procrastinating abilities I bet I will procrastinate sleep and just surf =="

Ciao!

Welcome 2013

New Year's Day has came~ and passed :D We have now embarked on 2013 and everyone must be making their resolutions now or have already made them :) It's time for me to make mine too ^^ I've never believed in making resolutions and even though I do make them I never stick to them, but maybe this year is a year of change for me :)

Here are my resolutions :)

1. To have a healthier lifestyle

I'm always harping to my friends that I want to lose weight, and they will roll their eyes and tell me I'm not fat. Yes I know I'm not fat but because I am short (like really short) even though my weight may be light to others I think I am actually borderline overweight for my height. But I have decided to stop talking about my weight and have a new perspective on this - I will learn to have a healthier lifestyle and diet. I am actually extremely unhealthy, always feasting on chocolates and snacks and I hate vegetables. I don't think I could bring myself to eat veggies but I want to try the whole "eat less but more times" diet. What is that you may ask?

Basically, I have heard before that it is healthier to eat less but more times in a day. So for example, instead of having 3 large meals in a day, have 5 small ones instead. That way your metabolism can work faster and your body will be healthier too :)

2. Stop biting nails

So when I was younger (like 10 years ago) I had a really bad habit of biting my nails. This habit stopped when I was about 14 but about a year ago I started biting my nails again. It is annoying and I don't want to do it but I find it hard to not bite, especially when I am stressed. And I hate it when my nails are short and disgusting so I am going to do my best to stop biting them.

3. Be more hardworking in my studies

Right now I am not enjoying university very much and I really don't know what I want to do with my life career-wise. It's very stressful for a 20 year old girl! I have thought of giving up uni, but the best choice is probably to stick with it, get my degree then do what I want afterwards ^^" 

So that's all my resolutions, I know some people make many, but I just want a few that I can stick to :)

Have a good 2013!

Peace (:

Reflecting Back 2012

The time as come once again! 2012 is coming to an end and everyone's getting ready for the new year! But then before the new year comes along, let's look back on this year shall we?

If you think about it, 2012 has actually been a really eventful year, with many significant events happening :) 

What's happened so far?

1. WE SURVIVED THE END OF THE WORLD!!

Remember the Mayans? They once again predicted the end of the world, citing that we will face worldly destructing on 21-12-12 (supposedly at 11.11am as well?). Wells I am a Christian so personally I didn't believe in it but it was interesting to see everyone chatting about it and I'm sure people held "End-of-the-world" parties as well. But yet, the world didn't end and we get to progress onto the next year! Hurray!

2. Obama won the Presidential Election 

I am not a person who keeps up regularly with the news but news about American elections is usually huge so I ended up seeing it on Facebook and hearing it from my friends. This is big so I knew :P

3. Mass shooting in Connecticut

This only happened a few weeks ago and I really feel for the parents and families who have lost their children. If you don't know what happened (and I really doubt this but I'll mention it anyways), about 2 weeks ago Adam Lanza walked into an elementary school in Connecticut - where his mother was a teacher - and shot his mother, killing her before turning his gun on the school. 26 people were killed in total with 20 of them being children. 

4. London Olympics

Living in the UK (albeit on the other end of the UK) I was well exposed to all the happenings of the Olympics! It is great that it was held in London and even though I personally didn't go to watch any of the events, some of my friends went and they really enjoyed it! Now I regret not going haha

Okay so those are the few major world events which happened.

What about me?

I have to say this year has certainly been eventful, so much has happened that I can't even remember all of it, but I'll say what I can :)

I went to Hong Kong/Taiwan for the first time!

Even though I lived in Asia for 14 years of my life (I should blog about my life story next time) I've never been to HK/Taiwan. Actually I never ventured anywhere north of Thailand in my time of living in Singapore. I went to China last year (wells 2 years ago now since it's officially 2013) but that doesn't count because that's after I moved to UK. 

So sometime at the end of 2011, some of my friends and I planned to go to Taiwan to visit a few friends of ours who came to the UK. Basically they came to the UK so we thought we should go to Taiwan to repay the visit, but when we checked ticket prices we were like UMMM... it was so expensive!! So we decided to take a detour to Hong Kong and book a trip to Taiwan from a Hong Kong agency, turned out to be cheaper :D

Personally I love both Hong Kong and Taiwan. The people in Taiwan are nicer - not that I'm saying HK people are horrible - but haggling in HK is a lot more fun! I'd love to go and visit again :)

Passed First Year University :D

So in 2011 I started uni, did not know if I was going to survive first year but I did :) Now I'm about halfway through second year, but I'm starting to dislike my course and being really cba with it... I need to reflect back on my life. Still glad I passed first year though :)

Okay this sucks, I cannot think of anymore things which happened. I think I'm having a mind block. But 2 things is better than none right? Tbh this hasn't been one of the best years in my life but it's still not too bad :D Hopefully 2013 will be a better year! 

I'll do a new years resolution post next I guess :)

Lastly... HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Hope 2013 will be an even better year than 2012! ^^"
