Pavilion Christmas Decoration 2021

Picture taken while at Pavilion Mall. 

Love the Christmas decoration here.

View from the top.

Pop-Up Store of Bearbrick in the mall. 

For those who loves bearbrick. 

Pretty crowded while I was there. But if you go in the morning when the mall opens it will be less crowded. 

Look forward to next year Christmas decoration. 

Small Surprises 💕

With the current pandemic, my birthday ended up being cooped up at home....same as last year. No eating out nor meet up with any of my friends >.<

However, got a surprise by my bestie. Received a lovely bouquet of flowers and cake from bestie.....

...and another cake from my nieces and cousin 😍 

Just a simple celebration at home with my family...home cooked food and angpow from my parent 😁

My wishes is that my parent and friends are healthy & safe...and pray that this pandemic will be over soon. 

Hotel Blog Review: The Southbridge Hotel @ Chinatown, Singapore

I've finally put up this blog post on one of my trips to Singapore (before the pandemic). I had stayed at the Bliss Hotel twice and I thought I'll stay in another hotel close by for a change of view. 

The Southbridge Hotel is only a short 3-5 minutes walk from Bliss Hotel and MRT station (North East & Downtown line). You can take a shuttle to the hotel from the airport, but I took the train since I have the time before check-in. 

Stacking Magnets with IKEA SVENSÅS Magnet Board

Did some arrangements with all the magnets that were on the fridge. 

I  always get a magnet as a souvenir whenever I take a trip to overseas. Since there're times that the magnet fall off while opening the door, it was high time that I took it down and put it elsewhere. 

Took a while to clean it all up since there were dust and some oil on it after years on the fridge 😅

Bought this Ikea Magnetic Board from Shopee. 

Got 2 of the black memo board.

After staking all the magnets on it, it looks so much better and neater.

Pretty happy with how it turned out. Still need a few more magnets to fill up the board. Hopefully, after the pandemic we can start traveling again. 

That's Me Alright 😆😆

Just random pictures I saw online...which pretty much sums me up alright (LOL).

Declutter for Cash and Invest in Gold

A while back I sold one of my handbags that I had not used. Back then I loved using big handbags for traveling...before switching to backpacks.

With the current pandemic, I decluttered a lot of my unused stuff, either by giving away, dispose of, or sell it.  I'm glad that I can clear off my used clutter and earn some cash from decluttering.

The money I received for selling my unused item will be used to invest in gold bullion, while some will be put into saving. 

Yesterday while I was at the mall I went to one of the jewelry shops to look at the gold bullion. 

There were quite a few that caught my eye but they were way out of my budget 😭 

I hope to own a 100 grams gold bar....but that will be another day...only buy what you can afford. 

With the money that I got from selling the handbag, I ended up buying this gold coin that weighs 3.8 grams 😍

I have to put more effort into decluttering so that the money I received will be put into my future retirement fund, as well as owning a few more gold coins. Let's see what I can declutter for the next few weeks 😁 

Recycle Your Empty Bottles at L'OCCITANE Malaysia | BIG Little Things Recycling Programme

Today I went to L'OCCITANE store to exchange all the empty bottles that I have collected in the last few months.

Rather than discarding the empty bottles into the dustbin, 10 empty bottles can be exchanged for 1 L'occitane miniature. 

Only completely clean and dried empties are accepted.

In total, I recycled 40 empty bottles in exchange for 4 miniatures.

These miniature products come in handy for future travel...or have it tested before purchasing an actual size item in their store.

You can refer to their website here on the list of the item they accept, and which participating stores accept them.

The one I went to is in One Utama Shopping Centre. 

I came here early in the morning to avoid the crowds 😁

 

While I was here I get to meet up with my friend for a quick brunch, and it turns out to be a treat from her. It was worthwhile going out today 😊

Belated Birthday Celebration With The Family (2021)

A belated birthday celebration with my cousin and pa. Due to lockdown, we were not able to celebrate their birthday.....until now (when RMCO was lifted). 

We have dinner at home instead of celebrating outside at the restaurant. My mum still feels uncomfortable eating out so we have cooked dishes and takeaway at home. 

And boy was it a feast for all of us.
