Back to blog!

 

Hello, it's been awhile...

How are you doing?

 

I hope all is well and I haven't been blogging for awhile now. I have been in my new school and semester 1 have officially ended! Currently, I'm enjoying my vacation! There are several things which I am working on right now.

Firstly, obtaining my driving license.

Secondly, about to be a volunteer at an educational event for children.

Thirdly, Watercolour Painting and Fabric Printing.

Lastly, Letter Writing.

All of these in a month and a half.

 

 

 I am still snail mailing and I've decided to start off my new post with my latest incoming mail from Michelle @seaweedkisses

 

Michelle is a really sweet pen pal and I always look forward to receiving letters from her.

This time round, she sent me 2 postcards,

 

 

Some goodies for my belated birthday (Yes, I have turned 18 in August!).

 

And I love this mini pocket/envelope especially, I will use it to put little photographs and keep it in my wallet and hopefully, Good Fortune will follow me (and you)! And it matches my

nail polish, doesn't it?

 

 

I will update you guys when I have more incoming and outgoing mail.

 Thank you for reading!

 

 

 

 

 

Letters Update (March 2013)

 

Hi everyone!

It's been awhile since I last updated my blog, the last post was in January and it's March already! The third month of 2013! Time flies!

Things haven't been going right for me for the past two months, it's so dramatic that I could hardly digest it.

 

What happened?

1) My grandmother was ill and needed an operation.

2) My vacation to China was cancelled.

3) My Laptop was having some problems.

4) I have graduated from my Secondary School (high school) and now I'm applying for a new school. There are so many complicated procedures and orientations to attend. *sigh*

 

Finally, things are going a little smoother in my life and I am beginning to settle down in 2013.

Thus, here's my first Letter Update of the year 2013.

Letters Update (Incoming)

 

Letter from Akiyo (Japan) and I always love receiving stamps from Japan.

They are really adorable!

Pikachu! I used to love it when I was a child.

 

 

Akiyo sent me a several postcards as well and they are really lovely!

 

 

Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets postcard!

 

Another postcard with cute duckies illustrations.

 

 

A letter and a friendship wristband from Megan (New Zealand).

 

A letter from Marian (USA),

I always love her handmade envelope and the quotes she enclosed in the letter.

She is an amazing, really down-to-earth person and she updates her blog almost everyday.

I believe you guys will love her blog so visit it when you are free.

 

 

A letter from my new pen pal, Michelle (USA).

She's another wonderful blogger and I look forward to writing to her!

 

She sent me a Valentine's Day Card and I kept smiling to myself when I received it.

It's really beautiful.

 

 

The lovely quote on the card (:

 

 

And Michelle included some teabags in the mail too!  

 

Here's a package from Louise(UK).

We chat online almost everyday and she's like my best bud.

We have decided to send one another packages according to theme monthly and the theme for last month was "Floral".

Thus, she sent me a package with items related to floral.

 

A letter fro Louise.

 

And the items she got me for the theme, "Floral".

She got me a pair of chopsticks with floral prints, a daffodils cross stitch set, a roll of floral ribbon and two packs of flower scrapbooking decorations.

According to Louise, daffodils are the flowers that bloom in Spring/Summer in UK, thus, she got me the cross stitch set.

Theme of the month for Louise.

 

 

A letter and a postcard for Moe (China).  

My first Chinese pen pal!

 I cannot remember if I have mentioned this before, I love writing in Chinese despite not being able to remember all the Chinese characters.

I have to use a Chinese dictionary everytime I write to Moe but I enjoy doing it!

 

 

The stamp on Moe's postcard and my chinese handwriting!

Tea with Family, Sinful Splurge at Typo and a Letters Update!

Hello~Hello~everyone! How's everyone doing? It's another lovely Saturday! I hope everyone is doing well! I'm going to cut my sentence short as this is going to be a long post filled with photos!

Yesterday,my brother and I treated my mum to tea as her birthday is coming soon! Dad was busy so he couldn't come with us but that's okay, he have to give us another treat soon! So we went to Orchard Hotel for tea! The food are not too bad and I love the environment,it's really classy and peaceful. 

Here are some of the food I ate.

This is my favourite dish, it's a local dish. It is called the

"Laksa". It is quite similar to curry noodles but at the same time

it's really different too due to its ingredients and its condiments.

There's shrimps,slices of fish cakes, eggs, glass noodles, bean sprouts and "Tau Pok" in it.

"Tau Pok"is a soya bean curd and it has a spongy texture, it soaks up the

gravy, giving you a burst of gravy when you put it into your mouth.

I <3 it!

If I'm not wrong, this is the Opera chocolate cake,look at the chocolate balls with gold dusts! Isn't it pretty? It's yummy too!

My lil brother!

My mum with her platter of japanese food (:

After tea, we went shopping and my brother got his sports apparels and i got some stationaries which I feel so sinful after spending so much! They are just soooo lovely and I can't resist temptations! I am not going to spend any un-needed money until the start of August and as a punishment, I will have to save half of my pocket money every single day until August.

Anyways, I went to the shop name TYPO. It's an Australian brand and it has so many lovely stationaries which is not a good thing for my wallet!

Six more washi tapes added into my collection! I like the copper-ish metallic one!

A "Boy Voyage" passport holder.

A pack of 6 vintage card sets.

Lastly, some mini pockets to put in some mini cards!

Yup that's it! Have you guys been to typo? Or have spent any money which you regretted after paying? :( Tell me in the comments box below!
