Mini Confessions #22 - Faking Happiness


 
Mini Confessions #22
Faking Happiness

Lately, it's been feeling as though I'm just faking it all.
The smiles, jokes, laughter..

When somebody says,
"The you I know, wouldn't be like this"
You'll start to think, how much do YOU know about me?
Then, you'll start wondering.. How much do you know about yourself?

All the smiles and laughter, all to hide your pain and tears.
To hide yourself from, you.

When you have had a past that you wish you were wise enough..
Wise enough to leave.
Smart enough to say "No".
Sensible enough to know your limits.
Mature enough to love yourself.

They say,
"Once bitten, twice shy."
But all you know is, you can't control yourself.

You do everything you can to stop yourself but you know you can't.
Because all you wanted was to be happy.
Because all you wanted was to find someone who cares.
Because all you wanted was to understand yourself.
Because all you wanted was to be loved as much as you loved others.
Because all you wanted was to be in somebody's arms.

As time goes by, you'll feel pathetic.
Pathetic enough to think that you need to buy friends.
As time goes by, you'll feel helpless.
Helpless enough to give yourself to anyone.
As time goes by, you'll feel hurt.
Hurt enough to cry yourself to sleep every night.
As time goes by, you'll feel suicidal.
Suicidal enough to wish you were never born.

These scars, these pain will never leave me.
Whatever people do, whatever people say..
I know I can never let it all go.

The solution is .. Faking your own happiness.

Mini Confession #21 - Imperfections .

 
Mini Confession #21
Imperfections .
 
 
Have you ever search high and low ,
looking for that one person ?
 
That one person that would love you ,
as much as you do .
 
That one person that would cherish you ,
more than anything else in the world .

That one person that means the whole world to you ,
and you just want to be part of their world .
 
That one person who you think about night and day ,
especially when you're falling apart .
 
That one person who makes your heart pound ,
and gives you butterflies in your stomach .
 
 
 
Has it ever seem that sometimes ,
that person will never feel the same way about you .
 
Has it ever seem that sometimes ,
that person is right in front of you ; yet you could never express yourself .
 
It hurts so bad . To be screaming inside yet smiling on the outside . To be fixing everyone else yet breaking your own heart . To be with someone you love yet knowing they may never love you back .
 
 
What if , the problem actually lies in me ?
 
" You're just a replacement for everyone else .
Some easy girl that can be made used of .
Some foolish girl that believes in sweet talks .
 
You're just a girl that would never be loved .
For who you are .
For what you love .
For where you belong .
 
You're just a game to others .
Never to be truly loved .
Never to be appreciated .
 
You're just a girl that will never be loved by the person you love . "

Through Gerwyn's Eyes #33 - Here's To Us

Through Gerwyn's Eyes #33
Here's To Us
 
 
 
I haven't blogged in half a year.. Oops.
Anyways, this blog post would be dedicated to my new polytechnic friends ; and my new life I guess.
 
When you get into tertiary education, especially polytechnics, I guess you can't afford to hide in your comfort zone anymore. You'll have to learn how to open up, how to find yourself and of course, how to socialise.
 
Thankfully, I got enrolled into a FABULOUS class :D
 

 
SP Flag Day 2014
 
 
Well, I have a class that LOVES selfies (maybe that's a good thing!) ; so we took quite a lot of pictures :X
 
There's a total of 19 people in my class ; 8 girls , 11 guys.
This class is a class that clicks, almost instantly ^^
 
 
Accounting Lessons
 
 
We gather everyday before school, have our meals together.. :)
Laughters fill our lives, and of course.. silly things O.O
 


 
Alibaba Day
 

A lot has happened recently, but these people would stand by me, even if they don't know what happened :X And, I think this is just the beginning to many beautiful friendships :)

Ask Me Anything #3 - How to shop at DAIGOU ?

 
Ask Me Anything #3
How to shop at DAIGOU ?
 
After my previous post on my loots from Daigou , I've received several questions related to shopping in Daigou . Hence , I've decided to do a blog post to share this website with you , and also to explain how to use it !

Disclaimer : This post is done by ME , as a mini-tutorial on 65Daigou . If possible , I'll do video tutorials if need be in the future ; but I hope this is enough ! Also , The images below are QUITE SMALL ; so do zoom in if you need to see the photos !

What is 65Daigou all about ?
Similar to Taobao , Daigou is Singapore's 1st locally-registered company that specialises in overseas ( China & Taiwan ) purchasing , logistics and international shipping .
- Adapted from 65Daigou

Simply put , you can purchase many items ( some that are not even in Singapore yet ) on 65Daigou at a much cheaper rate than retail ! Livejournal loots , exclusive Idol merchandise , even furniture can be bought from 65Daigou .

Why am I recommending 65Daigou to you ?
✓Fast & easy to use
✓Less Chinese content than Taobao
✓Gives updates about item's status promptly
✓Checks overall creditability of seller
✓Inspects items that you've ordered
✓Refunds and compensation should your items go missing

STEP 1 : Creating your Account
- Go to http://www.65daigou.com/Kernal/Register.aspx
- Fill up the boxes as shown below , and click Submit
- Follow instructions till it's completed





- When you've completed the registration , you'll have a page like this :

 
- Click on the tabs under Daigou / Taiwan for item sourcing
- The image below is what you'll see if you click under Daigou



The example below will be for RANDOM browsing :
- Click on the tab that you're interested in ( I'll be looking for pullovers in this example )
- From the side panel , move your mouse over " Ladies Fashion " and click " Sweaters " on the panel that pops up . The image below is what you should see .

 
- The page would be refreshed , and you'll be taken to a page with many photos and Chinese description . The image below is an example . I'll be showing you how to buy the Bettyboop pullover highlighted .
 

 
- Click on the item that you're interested in and it'll bring you to a new tab .
- In the image below , it shows the following :
" Price : ¥29.00
  Domestic Shipping :
¥8.00
  颜色:
  尺码:
  To Warehouse:
  Method:
  If out of stock: "

 
NOTE : CONVERSION RATE IS 1SGD = 4.70RMB
Price -> Cost of the item itself in RMBDomestic Shipping -> Cost to transport item from seller to Daigou Warehouse in RMB颜色 -> Colour of the item (if any)
尺码: -> Size (if any)
To Warehouse -> This is the warehouse that you want to send the items to . It doesn't matter which you send the items too , so I recommend you to choose the cheaper one ( click between the two and look at the difference ) . On most occasions , apparel would be cheaper to be sent to Guangzhou ; while accessories to Shanghai .
Method -> Method to send to Singapore . The most worth & efficient method would be " Economy Air " , so do click on that !
If out of stock -> What you want to do for the item if it's out of stock .
TIP : Before you select the options & add the item into your cart , total up the PRICE & DOMESTIC SHIPPING = Cost of item in RMB . Divide the COST IN RMB by 4.70 , to get the COST IN SGD . Also , you can scroll to the lower part of the page to view the product details & description .

- The image below shows the lower part of the product tab .
 

 
- Once you've checked the details & description , and verify that you want to add the item to your cart ; select the options beside the main image and click " Add to Cart " .
- The image below is how your cart should look like ( I'm using my account with some orders from a friend ) after you've chosen the items you want to buy :

 
- Let's say this is your cart .
Product name -> The item that you've added into cart .
Seller -> The name of the seller .
Warehouse -> The warehouse that you've chosen .
Method -> Method of shipping to Singapore .
Domestic Shipping -> Cost in RMB for items to be sent from seller to Daigou warehouse .
Unit Price -> Price of item .
Qty -> Number of that item you'll be purchasing .
Subtotal -> Unit Price + Domestic Shipping . The price above is in RMB , the price in the brackets is in SGD .
Insurance -> Please REMEMBER to click this icon . This helps to " buy insurance " for that item so that you'll get the maximum refund IF the items are lost . This insurance will cost a few cents in SGD per item ; but paying a few cents is better than losing dollars !
Edit -> The notebook & pencil icon is for you to edit the options you've chosen . The stop icon is to delete the item from the cart .
Checkbox -> Check the item that you want to pay for ; click the checkbox circled in red in the image above if you want to pay for all items in your cart .
- After confirming all the details are correct , you can proceed to checkout .
 
The example below will be if you have something SPECIFIC to look for .
 
Let's say you want to look for .. bracelets ( rather generic , you can further specify ) .
- Use Google Translate to get the Chinese words for the item . Bracelets = 手镯 .
- Click the Daigou tab & you'll see a search box . Copy and paste the Chinese words into the search box and click " search taobao " .
 
- The image below will be what will pop up . Just do the same as the description above !

 
IF the item you want to buy is from Taobao :
- Items in Taobao are NOT part of Daigou . However , you CAN use Daigou to buy them using the EZBUY function .
- Let's say you want to buy Craftholic from Taobao ( I'm getting mine :X ) . It's all in Chinese ! OH NO .

 
- Leave this tab on , and go to Daigou .
- At the top of Daigou , there is the following EZBUY function .
 
 
- Copy & paste the link of the item you want from Taobao into this and click EZBUY . The image below will pop up . Using the information in Taobao , proceed to fill in the blanks . Then , hit " Submit " .



 
- The image below will pop up . Then , just click checkout , or the X button to close it .

 
Checking out & submitting payment .
- I'm going to show you how to check out and submit your payment . In this example , I'll be helping a friend to submit two of her items from the shopping cart .
- Check the boxes of the items that you want to submit , the total amount will be shown . I've used Paint to cover the other items of my friend's orders .
 
 
- Click checkout and the image below will pop up , then click Submit to confirm the shipping Warehouse & method .
 
 
- The image below is the final confirmation . Once the items have been confirmed , they will redirect you for payment .
Prepay -> Items that may have been refunded / bought at cheaper price and they refund you .
- Click " Pay Now " when you're ready to make payment .

 
- The image below is telling you that you have to make payment .
 
 
- The page would be redirected to the image below , and just make your payment according to the instructions . I'll proceed to do my payment via ibanking .


NOTE : They'll require your transaction reference , so DO NOT throw the receipt / exit once you've transferred !
 
- After making your payment , type the transaction reference into the transaction number ; then click " Confirm and Submit " .
 
Minimum Payable Amount -> Total amount to pay - Prepay balance
Other amount -> Use this if you want to pay MORE than your current orders ; ie . Like topping up the balance of ezlink before spending .

 

- After which , the image below will appear . Then , click " Okay " and you'll be redirected to your account .
 
 
TIP : If you're paying by Ibanking , just scroll down and select the bank that you're paying with . They will open a new window to the bank , which means you don't have to open it yourself XD
 
The rest of the procedures / status can be found in your account . Just spend a little time to explore it !
 
I hope this post has helped you more or less , feel free to contact me if you need any help !
 
PS : ALL ORDERS HAVE 2 PAYMENTS TO BE MADE .
1st Payment -> Item price & domestic shipping ( completed above )
2nd Payment -> Shipping cost from Daigou warehouse to Singapore ( to be paid when your parcel arrives in Singapore )
