Bidding farewell to 2014

Hi guys! Finally, the year 2014 is coming to an end. It's really scary how a year just flew by in a blink of an eye. How's the year for all of you? I definitely hope that it was good for you all, but there are bound to be times when you have tears in both the good and bad way.

Mine definitely wasn't the best out there. 

Family
There were so many times I quarreled with my mother and sisters. I got annoyed at how things are changing in this fast-paced society. I got annoyed at how my family wasn't spending enough quality time together. I got annoyed so easily. Thankfully, there were still the good times. I planned dinner to treat my mother to some of her favourite restaurant. On special occasions such as Mother's Day, I would take the initiative to bring my mother and sisters out to eat. On other days, I went to explore cafes with my mother (she's damm hip and happz one). In fact, I enjoyed going to cafes after visiting my first one with her. On days that I'm on good terms with my older sister, we would go shop, eat, cafe hopping together too. As for my younger sister, when were on good terms, we would do some online shopping together. 

School
Friends come and goes. I heard this a lot of times but I still believe in everlasting friendship. So, when some of my closed friends and I drifted away, I get really sad. Sometimes, to the extent that I will even have tears down my cheeks because I just can't accept how one can change just within a few months. It's scary to me. Why are most of them two-faced? Can't they just be real to themselves and others? Is it that difficult? Of course, there are still some who still stick by whom I really thankful for. 

Church
I wasn't really as happy as the time when I first stepped into church 3 years back due to personal reason. But I'm happy how I got closer to some people and the usual who still stick by. Even more thankful for my pastors who always give their best in everything they do.

Work
I started working in a dessert bar to earn allowance. Even though I have less than $300 even month, I still managed to cope with all my expenses such as transport, food, design materials, etc. It was really tough for me to juggle my family, school, church, and work together. Is still isn't easy. Most of the times, I will be working until 1am. There are even times that I wouldn't sleep to go school because I was working the night before. I did this because I wanted to be more independent and help ease my mother's financial burden. Thankfully, I got an ultra understating manager who always stands up for me and is really kind to allow me to have super flexible working hours.

Blogging
Also, this is the year which I got new opportunities, met new friends, and took blogging more seriously. I'm thankful to every single one of them who emailed me to collaborate, inviting me become their brand ambassador and also inviting me to events. I would also like to thank all my readers out there and I apologize for my lack of updates all the time. I still have many overdued posts and I promise to post them up soon.

Summing my year with photos which left me fond memories.

Mini Honey Cornflakes Cup

They are selling at a really affordable price and what's more, the owner is really friendly and kind!! I actually received this from her 2 weeks ago, and am only doing this advert now. Though I had informed her in advanced that I'll be taking some time to do this, she's really understanding and gave me a more than enough time to do this advert post. Isn't that sweet of her!

Also, I believe that many of you have met irresponsible seller before, who doesn't reply you/reply you late/late for meetup/mia/etc etc.. But fret not, this seller here is different! She is very prompt in every replies and is also very punctual during meetup. 

For those of you who are cracking your brain to get some Christmas treats for your friends and even loved ones, this will be good heh.
