The Awesome One

Dec 23, 2016

Merry Christmas & Hello 2017!


So it's finally nearing the end of 2016 and here's the
cliche-obligatory-summary-cum-resolution-making post.


To summarize, I'd say that 2016 has been a pretty fulfilling year for me.

Finally finished paying my study loans, graduated from my degree with pretty good results and found a full time job doing marketing. Though I still have much to learn and explore, I'd say that I'm very fortunate to have many benefactors and mentors in life (esp in this year) to guide me and help me. My family, Mun, my lecturers, my friends, my DNA, my colleagues. I'm sincerely thankful.

Before I run through my resolutions, I'd like to show you guys the first Christmas present(s) I got for myself in this 25 years of my life - Yay!

PUSHEEN BOX WINTER 2016 EDITION

I was totally judged by my friends (and Mun) for getting a box that costed SGD100 - when I have totally no idea what's gonna to be in it. I do admit it was a 一时冲动 move when I saw this scarf posted by PusheenBox Facebook and went like "OMG, I NEED TO GET THIS", though I don't literally need it. HAHAHA.


PLEASE AGREE WITH ME THAT THIS SCARF IS SO DARN CUTE.

So yeah, I got this box that costed SGD100 (because of shipment that costed USD25) and I was quite afraid I'd regret. But luckily for me, THIS BOX IS THE BEST BOX EVER. I've yet to receive the box but I've been stalking the hashtag on instagram and saw what's in it - I practically love everything in it.

SEE HOW CUTE IT IS? 
It's sad that shipment from USA to SG takes 10 working days, so I'll probably receive it before my TW trip (hopefully) instead of for Christmas.

And because I bought a present that didn't arrive by Christmas, it didn't really felt like Christmas.
LOL, I'm kidding. I just needed an excuse to buy another gift for myself HAHAHAHAHAHA.


So here's my other gift to myself -



Yeah, I know it's so not-Noelle-kind-of-thing because it's so girly.
But, I'M A GIRL AFTER ALL RIGHT HAHAHA.

Under the bad influence of 277, I decided to get Thomas Sabo Karma Beads that costed a bomb.

So yeah, it's probably the first bracelet I've gotten for myself and I kinda love being girly suddenly HAHAHAHA - not to mention, I started going mani/pedi lately too. Omg, puberty hit me late lol!

AND FINALLY BACK TO RESOLUTIONS

Let's see the progress of resolutions I made for 2016:

I did blog more, I did pursue my career after graduation, I did adjust my body clock pretty much (not ideal but it was a great shift), I did practice guitar and am more familiarized with the chords (will post a pic of my guitar after my guitar stickers arrive) and I'll be travelling to a new country next year.

So it's like 5/10 - not too bad. HAHAHA.


Here goes my
RESOLUTION(S) FOR 2017:

1. Keep blogging
2. Do new covers - at least 3
3. Be able to perform in guitar + vocals
4. Spend more time with my family and friends
5. Start saving up
6. Start taking vitamins
7. Exercise!!
8. Better time & emotion management

That's all I have for now.

I'm already excited for 2017 with all the travelling plans :]
Stalk my instagram/facebook/blog in 2017, it'll be fun.
