Through Gerwyn's Eyes #19 - Complacency ?

 

Through Gerwyn's Eyes #19

Complacency ?

 

 

What's being complacent ?

 

 

Are human beings complacent ?

Let's not target at any country / group of people . In general , are we considered complacent ? In my opinion , I feel that we are . I shall tie this topic with the " take-things-for-granted " side of human beings as well .

I'm sure I'm not the only one who realises this , but human beings take things for granted . I'm not an expert in the world situations , so I'll just use Singapore as an example .

PS : I'M NOT A CRITIC / STEREOTYPE / HATER OF SINGAPORE ETC , I love Singapore .

 

How is Singapore complacent ?

Let me repeat , I'm NOT trying to offend anyone .

 

1. Weather

Singapore's weather has basically " 4 seasons " : Hot , Hotter , Hottest , Raining .

When the recent haze came , almost everyone ( including me , I admit alright ! ) was getting paranoid . Some were criticising Indonesia for causing the haze , others were being "happy" and praying that school would be postponed / cancelled . Don't say that I'm a pot calling the kettle black ( WOW ) , I admit doing that too .

When the sudden hailstones appeared , we were shocked and wondering where it came from . Also , there was even a video going around based on an extract of the news report .

 

2. Singapore's location

Maybe you've learnt somewhere in History / Social Studies , Singapore is a strategic place on Earth ; in the sense that we are almost " immune " to natural disasters .

When the flood in Orchard came about , some were worried about the damages to their shops ; others were shocked at a flood in Singapore . How about those major floods in other countries ? Damages worth millions maybe ? How about the lives lost ?

When the mini " earthquakes " came from other countries , we were worried about it . Also , we were blowing a small matter big .

 

 

3. Education

I'm guilty of being complacent for our education . We complain about the homework we have , and limited choices we have . In actual fact , we have quite a lot of choices in Singapore as well as going abroad . We also have many choices of tertiary education . In some other countries , there are children / teenagers like us ; that deserve education but aren't able to afford it .

 

 

4. Living & Sanitary Conditions

The cleanliness of our Singapore , have we been taken it for granted ? Anyways , we may sometimes complain that some public toilets are unsanitary , and some public places are full of litter . Who is responsible for that ? It's not like some random country flew above us and threw all the litter down . Fellow Singaporeans are responsible for it . Even so , people working CWO / cleaners we have are keeping Singapore clean ; we're also considered the Garden City . So , why must we complain ?

 

 

 

There are so many other things , but I shall not make this post too long . Do you get my point ? At times , we may think life is so bad here ; but in actual fact , we're not that bad ourselves . Why are we so unhappy ? Are we really that bad off , or are we

just being complacent ?

The beautiful babe with the prettiest of things .

 

 

Firstly, if you're thinking " Why should I support her ? " ; I'll tell you why :P

- Her items are mad gorgeous .

- She is really nice ! ( unless you piss her off , I guess ? Nobody likes timewasters / people who MIA )

- She is clearing her items at cheap prices !

 

Why should I spend my money on her items ?

Because , you should be a kind soul and help her to raise enough money !

There are 2 main reasons she needs money :

1) School projects ( IHAVENOIDEAWHYPROJECTSHAVETOEVENCOSTMONEY )

2) Trip with her boyfriend overseas ( So sweet right ? Must support them alright ! )

 

What does she sell that is worth my money ?

- Squishies ( for all the squishy lovers out there )

- LJ loots ( she took money out of her own pocket to get these , help her to clear them ! )

- Personal loots ( those gorgeous pieces where you get on impulse but hardly wear )

 

 

 



 



Excuse me , but would you be able to resist the temptations of all those beauty up there ?
( Please don't say no , it doesn't hurt to take a look ! )

Through Gerwyn's Eyes #18

Education Systems .

 

 

Have you ever thought that Singapore's education system may be a little harsh on us ?

Maybe , it's time to think again .

 

The following content is NOT meant to offend anyone and DOES NOT represent the views of Singaporeans regarding education systems .

 

 

In this post , I'll be sharing viewpoints on the education systems of Singapore , China and Finland .

 

SINGAPORE'S EDUCATION SYSTEM

 

School starts with Nursery & Kindergarten , which is before Primary School .

In Nursery & Kindergarten , we learn the basic things in life like .. 1 + 1 = 2 . And , we also learn about colours , basic skills using computers as well as life skills like how to interact and make friends .

 

In Primary School , we start learning about Mother Tongue , English , Math & Science . We learn about things like the human body and plant systems . We also do things such as Physical Education so that we could keep ourselves fit . Then , at Primary 6 ( Primary School consists of 6 years ) , we would take a national examination known as the Primary Six Leaving Examination ( PSLE ) . With the aggregrate score of our PSLE results , we would then decide on a Secondary School ( similar to High School ) .

 

In Secondary School , we learn many different subjects from the 4 basic subjects in Primary School to 7~9 subjects in Secondary School . These subject includes Literature , Social Studies , History , E Mathematics , A Mathematics , Principle of Accounts ( POA ) , Biology , Chemistry , Physics and Geography . At Secondary 4 ( 16 years old ) , we will have another national examination known as Ordinary ( O ) Levels / Normal ( N ) Levels . The results we get are categorised into L1R4 ( 1 Language & 4 Relevant ) and L1R5 ( 1 Language & 5 Revelant ) . With these results , we are able to see how we are coping against the whole cohort . With L1R4 , we are able to see which courses we can go to for Polytechnic ; and with L1R5 , we are able to see which Junior College we would be able to go to for tertiary education .

 

In Tertiary Education , we would further our studies . After which , we were able to choose whether we want to go to the working world ; or further study in Universities and get degrees .

 

 

 

FINLAND'S EDUCATION SYSTEM

Finland's education system is actually the inspiration for this post .

The reason ? It's at the better end .

In Singapore , we start Nursery at age 4 .

We buy uniforms .

We have school fees and examinations , we even have class tests .

We are sometimes "stereotyped" by people and teachers according to our ability .

We greet teachers by Miss , Mdm , Mrs or Mr .

We have a tonload of homework , and never have enough sleep .

 

Why must I list all of that down ? Here is a small peek at Finland's education system .

They have ..

No uniforms .

No school fees .

No examinations .

No tests .

No discrimination .

No greetings ( they greet their teachers by name ) .

And homework is kept within 30 minutes a night .

 

I do not really understand much about Finland's education system , but I guess this is the " better " end of the world's education systems .

 

 

CHINA'S EDUCATION SYSTEM

For starters , students spend long hours in school & parenting in China is really strict .

How different is it ?

 

4 YEAR OLDS have to stay in school for about 8 hours . I mean , where were you when you're 4 ?

 

For their secondary school , it doesn't differ much with Singapore's . Singapore student stay in school for 8 ~ 10 hours ; while China students can stay up to 12 hours in school & do up to 4 hours of homework at home . WOW .

 

The students in China take their studies seriously .. Simply because , they cherish it . NOT everyone in China gets an opportunity to go to school , sad to say . I mean , I think that every child deserves the right to learn .

 

 

I'm getting really tired blogging about this :X So sorry , haven't typed this long in ages . Therefore , I'll be separating the next time that I plan to blog about into a separate post ! Thanks for reading if you still are ~



Mini Confession #12 - Stumble and Fall .

 

Mini Confession #12

Stumble and Fall .

 

 

Have you ever felt like you stumbled in life ?

Feel as though you were about to fall with every step you take ?

 

I've been stumbling so much that I fell .. down the rabbit hole .

 

 

 

I felt really upset with myself for various reasons . In fact , I've broken down quite a few times this week . On Wednesday , I got frustrated with myself because I couldn't do my POA questions & I teared up . Today , I got frustrated at myself trying to push myself way too hard & ended up crying .

 

Life these days scare me .

Yes , I set time aside to blog ; and many would disapprove of me doing this .

However , I don't want to be an " All work , No play " girl .

 

Even if you disagree with what I am doing now , I still need someone to listen ; someone who cares .

Yes , I have no idea how many people reads this . But , at least it's like my personal diary ; where I can rant out and relieve stress .

 

I enjoy blogging . And I'm not going to stop .

I feel like I'm falling , day by day .

I can't seem to control my feelings .

I can't seem to get myself up .

I can't do things that I want to .

 

I need to get back up , I need to find that strength back .







Through Gerwyn's Eyes #17 - Confusing Life .

Through Gerwyn's Eyes #17

Confusing Life .

 



 

Have you ever wondered about the things you're studying ?

How it ever makes sense in life ?

And how , people ask you general knowledge questions .. and all you ever say is " I didn't learn that . " ?

 

I'll be blogging about some things we NEVER SEEM to use in life .. and also , about some things that we're supposed to know ; but we don't . This post is STRICTLY MY OPINION , and not meant to offend anyone .

 

Firstly , the TOP 3 things we never seem to use ..

1) Algebra

Have you ever literally used algebra in your life ? I mean , taking a piece of paper ; listing the X and Y , finding the coefficients of them in order to solve a daily problem ? I know , teachers have used some worksheets to prove the usefulness of algebra ; but , even when some of us stare at those worksheets ; we'll be like " Why would anyone buy 150 oranges with 20 dollars and figure out how many sweets they can buy ? "

2) Graphs

Maybe we'll use those bar graphs / pie charts .. But how many would use these graphs ? Or those equations that we memorise ? All we memorise , unless we're aiming to be engineers , are just going to that few marks in the examinations .. then POOF ! You'll learn it for nothing .

 

 

3) Trigonometry

Other than being a math teacher / engineer / mathematician .. Why would we use these complicated equations ? I mean , you memorise the TOA , CAH , SOH ; and all the complicated things .. and then what ? Where would you go from there ? The following photo is the integration of some trigonometric functions .

 

 

 

Secondly , what are we supposed to know .. but we don't ?

Let me ask some questions , and see how many do you actually know the answer to ..

1) Who is Singapore's Prime Minister ?

2) Why don't woodpeckers have a headache after pecking on wood all day long ?

3) How many times does our heart beat everyday ?

4) What is Betty Boop's original hair colour ?

5) What did the witch want from The Little Mermaid in exchange for legs ?

6) Cocacola was originally used as a cough medicine , what was its original colour ?

7) How many trees are needed to make a piece of paper ?

8) What is a polar bear's fur colour ?

9) How to you massage your eyebrows in order to get rid of a headache ?

 

I've been asked many general knowledge questions , even questions on Singapore .. but , I don't know any of the answers . Singapore's history ? No clue either .

 

Why is it that we learn Northern Ireland , Korea , Japan and other countries' history ? But , we have no clue about Singapore's history ? Why is it that we are never thought any of these things ; but we are taught about Hitler and Stalin .. and face challenges in life that .. all we ever do is curl up in bed and don't know how to solve ?

 

I don't understand . I'm not sure how people adapt . And yet , we are able to live day by day , not knowing how to solve many daily challenges .

Eat Me #1 - Salad with a Twist .

 

 

Eat Me #1

Salad with a Twist .

 

 

In this section , I'll be doing some " food tutorials " ; but simple ones ! It's been a long time since I last made anything really good , bear with me !

 

For this post , I'll be doing some salad with a twist . Well , normally you have fruit / vegetable / caesar etcetc salad ; where it comes with a WHOLE LOT of greens in it , and sometimes it gets frustrating to eat them .

 

However , for this salad ; I'm just adding random things I can find in my fridge into a salad bowl . Note : The photo above is done on 4th August , and the photo below is what I'll be doing today !

 

 

Ingredients you'll need :

6 Shiitake Mushrooms

3 Medium-sized Potatoes

2 Eggs

1 Chicken Breast ( get an adult to help you remove the skin )

 

Utensils you'll need :

3 knifes ( this is to ensure the knifes aren't contaminated )

2 small pots ( to boil the ingredients , ensure that one of them can fit your chicken breast ! )

1 fork ( to test whether the chicken & potatoes are boiled , and to shred the chicken )

1 spoon ( to assist in shredding the chicken )

1 fruit skin peeler ( to skin the potatoes )

Individual bowls ( to place your ingredients in , so that they do not mix )

 

Instructions :

 

POTATOES

1) Peel the skin off the potatoes and cut them into small chunks .

2) Pour the potatoes into Pot A and fill the water just enough to submerge all the potatoes , put it to a boil .

3) After roughly 10 minutes , use the fork to poke the potatoes . If the fork passes through with ease , take the potatoes out and put them into bowl A .

 

 

EGGS ( while waiting for potatoes to boil )

1) Place the eggs with tap water ( just enough to submerge the eggs ) into Pot B .

2) Let it boil , and then wait 10 ~ 15 minutes to ensure it's completely cooked through .

3) Remove the shells and let it cool before cutting into slices .

4) Put this into bowl B .

 

MUSHROOM ( do this the last as the mushrooms take little time )

1) Wash the mushrooms and slice them into small pieces .

2) Put them in Pot B after the eggs are done .

3) Fill the pot up with HOT water just enough to submerge the mushrooms .

4) Let it boil for around 3 minutes to ensure the " sand " of the mushrooms are fully removed .

5) Add this into bowl B .

 

 

CHICKEN ( remember to leave the chicken in a plastic bag , and put the plastic bag into a bowl filled with water before you start anything ; so that it has time to defrost )

1) Take the chicken breast out of the plastic bag into Pot A , after the potatoes are done .

2) Fill the pot with tap water until it submerges the chicken .

3) Let it boil slowly for 10 ~ 15 minutes .

4) Use the fork to poke a small piece of the chicken out . If the insides are fully cooked ( the meat would turn white ) and the bones look cooked ( the soft bones will turn translucent and the hard bone should NOT have any red / bloody colour ) , remove the chicken .

5) Put the chicken in a bowl and start tearing the chicken meat out using the fork and spoon .

6) Put this into bowl C .

 

 

FINAL TOUCHES

1) Pour all the ingredients into a big bowl .

2) Add in any desired sauces and mix .

3) Enjoy !

 

 

TIPS !

1) ALWAYS change the water used to boil the ingredients before you start boiling another .

2) Remember to submerge the chicken ( keep the chicken in a plastic bag , DO NOT let water seep into the plastic bag ) before you start anything .

3) As the ingredients take different times to boil , start by potatoes -> chicken -> eggs -> mushrooms.

4) By boiling everything , you make it a healthier meal so you can splurge a LITTLE more on sauces .

5) This is just the recipe of one type ; you can mix and match anything you like ! For example , you can add in prawns , tomatoes , cucumbers , peas .. anything !

 

 

The photo above is from 4th August , where I did similar things with frozen corn ( less troublesome than corn-on-a-cob ) , chicken ham , potatoes and eggs .

 

If you like sauces but don't want anything heavy / fatty , you can try the following sauces that I added .

1) Japanese Soy Sesame Seasoning

This is bought by my mum , I forgot where >< But , it tastes really nice and has that tangy taste ! Really good for people who likes that little kick ~

2) Ajinomoto Mayonnaise

Also a product of Japan , it tastes nicer than normal Mayos . What's so good ? You can just put this on normal bread and it tastes amazing too !

 

 

This is how they look like ; or rather .. after you ate 98% of them ><
I hope this helps somehow !

Mini Confession #11

Gerwyn doesn't exist here .

 

 

I admit that .. Gerwyn is not my real name .

Be it in my Facebook account or on this blog , I've been using the name " Gerwyn " .

However , my real name is NOT Gerwyn .

 

Why did I try to hide my real name ?

I'm not very sure either , I just thought that Gerwyn sounded nicer somehow .

In fact , I have people that disliked me ( when I use my real name ) ; but treats me really well when I'm known as Gerwyn . Wow ? Just because they saw and heard rumours about me .. But after they known me for who I am , they were friends with me .

 

Where did the name Gerwyn come from ?

I was just trying different combinations of alphabets together , and Gerwyn sounded nice to me .

 

So .. What's your real name ?

My real name is Jena . Full name as Jena Lim Xiang Ying .

 

Please note that even though I revealed this , I would still be using Gerwyn around . Thus , you can call me by both names :)

 

 

Mini Confession #10 - Inner Doubts .

 

 

Mini Confession #10

Inner Doubts .

I admit that .. I've been doubting myself lately .
Not the best thing to do , in fact ; it's not even a good thing to do .

These days , I've been having A LOT of emotional hunger .
Specific cravings , eating after being full .. That's my life these days .
In fact , as I'm posting this , I stopped to have a cup of corn , 2 packets of crysanthemum tea & 1 raisin bun . I'm really full right now , but I still feel the need to eat ..

I've been doubting myself lately ..
About my life , future , dreams , goals ..
Other than blogging , I'm also doing blogshopping , schooling & having O levels soon ..

Maybe , I've been dreaming too much .
I blog because I hoped it would get me somewhere .
I go to school because .. well , I have to .
I have a blogshop because I wish to expand to a successful blogshop someday .
I have O levels because .. well , I have to .

However , the different career choices I'm hoping for ..
the different courses available ..
the amount of work that needs to be put in ..
They're crumbling me .

Firstly .. There are TOO MANY career choices available now .
Accountant , Blogger , Blogshop owner , Singer , Volunteer etcetc .
So many choices , how do you know what you should be ?

Secondly .. There are TOO MANY course choices available now .
Different polytechnics , different courses ..
They all lead to different careers and different futures .

Thirdly .. There are TOO MANY things to study .
There are roughly 7 ~ 8 subjects to study .
Out of each subject , there are 7 ~ 15 topics .
In each topic , at least 5 things to remember .
The thing is , I have NO IDEA where or how to start .

Lastly .. There are TOO MANY things to worry about ..
What if I didn't do well for O levels ?
What if time wasn't on my side ?

I'm starting to think .. how many people read about what I blog ?
How many people actually like what I post ?
How many people even bother to read EVERYTHING I post ?
What if people didn't like it .. ?

Also , I am NOT the " popular " kid in school . Neither am I very loved .
Even if people didn't tell / show me , I KNOW that they didn't like me .
Even at home , it's hard to feel confident and good about myself .

Hence , I cover up with flaws and a " FAKE " confidence ..
I cover up with this name " Gerwyn " ; and it's NOT even my real name ..
Sometimes I wonder , where am I going ?
What do I do now ?

All I ever feel like doing is lie in bed and cry ..
Cry everything away ; but it wouldn't solve anything .

Through Gerwyn's Eyes #16 - Budget & Expenses .

Through Gerwyn's Eyes #16

Budget & Expenses .

 

 

Lately , I've been telling some of my close friends ( be it personal / blogshop friends ) that I'm trying to save up $1000 . However , I didn't really say why . Thus , I'll be sharing the reason here ; as well as some things about budget and expenses ! This post may get a little long .

 

So , why save up $1000 ?

These days , I've been discussing with my boyfriend regarding our future together ; it may seem foolish and all , but we've decided that we would get married someday after I graduate from polytechnic . Thus , we have been starting to save up for our future ; I mean , you'll need money for everything ! From the wedding to the place we'd stay in , and even from a home to a baby ; money is everything .

 

Ever since we had this conversation ( this started in May , but action has only been taken since July ; it shows how lazy we are XD ) , my boyfriend has an account set up specially to save up for our future . This account , will hold all the money we can save up for the future ; therefore , no withdrawals are allowed >< And till now , he already contributed $2000 into the account . Seeing him contribute that much , I feel like I should do my part as well ; I mean , any relationship is a two-person thing ~ Thus , I aim to save $1000 by the end of this year to be deposited into this special account .

 

In short , saving up $1000 is to save for the future .

 

$1000 is not a small amount , how do you save that amount in .. 4 months ?

Technically , August to December consists of 4 months . $1000 may seem impossible ; however , I came up with this plan .. and I shall share it here . Do note that in the following equations , all amounts have been rounded to the nearest dollar .

 

Target : $1000

Current amount in bank : $108

Current cash amount : $15

Pending amount to be collected from customers : $57

Amount left to save : $820

 

Daily allowance : $12 ( I end school at 6pm everyday )

Budget for food everyday : $2 ( I bring my own biscuits / snack to school for recess , and buy rice from the canteen for lunch )

Amount saved everyday : $10

 

Days needed to save $820 : $820 / $10 = 82 days

Estimated day to save up $1000 : 29th October 2013

 

You can use similar equations to find out how long you need to save up your desired amount !

 

Once I reach my target , does it mean I can stop saving ?

NO . After reaching your target , you would feel really happy with yourself that you managed to save that much . However , if you're saving up for something , wouldn't the money be gone after you buy something ? Thus , you can start saving up for something else ; or just to save some money ( at a smaller scale ) just for a rainy day .

 

In my case , after I save the $1000 ; I'll withdraw it out of my bank and deposit it into my shared account with boyfriend . However , that would mean I'm left with $0 in my own . Therefore , I would like to save another $100 in my bank ; which I wouldn't touch . In other words , my bank will have nothing lesser than $100  . I'm rather interested in helping others whenever I can , thus ; I'll be saving roughly $50 to donate to some voluntary welfare organisations . This then totals up to $150 more to save , but it doesn't stop there .

 

$1000 will never be enough for the future . With the rising cost of EVERYTHING , it's better to save up even more than to just save $1000 . Thus , I'll continue saving up another $1000 and so on .

 

Persevering to save up can be difficult at times . How do I make sure I stick to my plans ?

Firstly , make realistic plans . If you have other commitments such as taking public transport , eating out , meals to cook , bils etc ; make sure you take them into consideration before you set your target . Also , make sure your daily allowance / monthly income is taken into account . Don't set a goal that high up , so that you're able to reach it . Also make sure that you HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT , don't starve yourself .

 

Secondly , if you're the type that spends on random things to indulge sometimes ( like me ) ; you can set aside some money to spend in a week / month . DO NOT indulge everyday , it will do no good to your plans to save .

 

Thirdly , you can set a budget . For example , how much to spend on food / travel / misc. and how much to save every week . This way , you can ensure you save while you spend .

 

Lastly , try eating healthier . Eating in coffeeshops / whipping up a meal at home will cost lesser than fast food . Fruit juices would cost lesser than Starbucks / Coffeebean .

 

How can I manage my expenses ?

If you're going to save up and plan for the future , you can get a Cash Book / notebook to record your expenses and savings . However , do make sure you record EVERYTHING down !

 

If you fail to plan , you're planning to fail .

ADVERTORIAL - Ci Gusta !

ADVERTORIAL - Ci Gusta !

Had enough of yoghurts ?

 

 

Hello ~ Firstly , I have to apologise for posting this while the Muslims are fasting ><

However, I don't think Ci Gusta is halal so .. ><

 

Anyways , what does Ci Gusta mean ?

Ci Gusta is actually Italian for " We Like It ! " There are more information on a panel in their retail shops , which I shall quote :

 

" Our artisanal gelato is freshly made with the finest ingredients imported directly from Italy . It has a more intense flavour and contains 60% less fat than American icecream . "

- Ci Gusta

 

What do they serve ?

Frozen Yoghurt , Italian Gelato , Desserts .. I've only tried their Gelato , cause I couldn't stop !

 

 

In this picture : Swiss Chocolate & Tiramisu ( Back )
Raspberry Sorbet & Rum and Raisin ( Front )

 

What about the price range & quality ?

I can't guarantee about the other products , cause I haven't tried them . However , I can tell you that their Piccolo cups are really worth it ! For $4 , you can choose up to 2 flavours ~ Mind you , they pack it REALLY FULL into the cup ; and not those I'll-just-gve-you-one-mouth kind of services . For both photos in this post , they are taken by me . Look at the amount they give , it's definitely worth it .

Mini Confession #9 - TGIF !

 

Mini Confession #9

TGIF !

It's Friday ~

Previously , I would probably spend this day .. slacking ?

However , from today onwards ; I'll have a small routine to do every Friday !

 

I know this may get boring , but I shall post up this " mini-routine " !

 

1. TIME FOR FACIAL !

I've done my first-facial-after-ages today at my mum's friend's house , and it was painful ( when the pimples were being treated ) but relaxing ( when putting on ice-cold relaxing mask ! ) at the same time >< However , I'm determined to get rid of my pimples , so what's a little pain to a girl ; when all women want to look as beautiful as they are on the inside ?

 

 

 

2. EXFOLIATE THE DEAD SKIN !

Everyday , millions of our cells die ; and stay on our skin . Anyways , I bought a bottle of exfoliating body scrub from Watsons today ( FINALLY ~ ) at $6.90 ; and I used it before I wash up today ~ I have to say , it makes the skin feel smoother ! Sexy skin ? Try exfoliating it ( don't overdo it , I'm doing once in a week ) and you may feel the difference !

 

3. TIME TO FEAST !

Firstly , I'm posting this AFTER the Muslims break fast ( or buka puasa XD ) as I feel it's better not to post this when they are still fasting . Anyways , treat yourself to something nice once in a while , relax yourself . Today , I ate Almond Jelly with Longan in Koufu ; and had FRESHLY-MADE hotdog bun , luncheon meat bun & egg tarts made by my cousin .. LOVES , MANY MANY LOVES .

 

 

4. RETAIL THERAPY XD

Nothing does it ( at least , for me ) like retail therapy ! Buy something that you love ( don't overspend though ! Set a budget for yourself ~ ) every once in a while .. Today , I bought 14 cards & 1 paper bag .. Cards are for my friends & teachers , the paper bag .. err , the teddybear was just too cute to resist !
