I actually won something!

I've never really won anything since maybe secondary school, 3 years back? Unless getting parking summons counts as winning too.

I'm not a very lucky person, which is why i dislike gambling. My mum has always taught me that there's no such thing as free lunch in the world. So, i'm a skeptic when it comes to things like this.

I'm not the kind of person who likes competition because i hate the attention. I grew up being overshadowed by my sis, who's always the outspoken and more social one. And i'm happy with that cos i cant deal with too much attention on me. Yes, i know i'm weird. Lol.

Anyway, guess what i won?? This:


FreshKon Mosaic Cosmetic Lenses in velvet blue :D

I won this from an online contest from a blog. It's very simple actually. The question is: Why would you love to try out FreshKon Mosaic Cosmetic Lenses?

My winning answer:
I’d love to try out FreshKon Mosaic Cosmetic Lenses because with just one look is all it takes to dazzle the man of my dreams with ease and total comfort, FreshKon gives me that extra ‘Kon’fidence to go after him!

Cheesy and lame isnt it? Lol. But what the heck, it works! I take this as a good start to a new CNY :D

Happy Chinese New Year!

Every year of first day of CNY, my house will be filled with people. We had this tradition to do a mini open house specifically for my dad's and mom's friends. Every year without fail, up until this year. New house too small, can't accommodate too many people. So mum and dad decided not to do anymore. Which is good in a way cos then i dont have to clean up and serve dad's friends. Hehe...this year will be a very different CNY.

It used to be even merrier last time when grandma and grandpa was still alive and living with us. For some reasons, both of my parents' sides never had this tradition of having family reunion dinner. So, first day of CNY was the only time i can see all my relatives when they came over to visit my grandparents. But after both of their passing, my house got so quite. Relatives no longer visit us. :(

There are even some cousins whom i dont talk to for years. Some i cant even remember their names and i bet it's the same way around. I guess that's what happen in a very very big family.

Anyway, for those of you who wants to pay me a visit, you're free to come! :D
Just call or sms me..

Happy CNY!

Do you know what's worth fighting for?

Money?
Love?
Friendship?
Happiness?

Do you fight for what you believe on, at the extend of others?
Or do you think everything is destined?

Joan is bad with money

I'm sure many of you would agree with me...Lol. I don't plan for my savings, heck i dont even have a saving! If not for PTPTN loan, i wouldnt have survived til now.

Really, i mean my monthly allowance is RM300 for everything which includes petrol, toll, lunch, breakfast, university's items and outings. The first two alone already eats up all my money. I feed my car more than i feed myself.

I cannot imagine surviving without ptptn's money. Remember this post? That was my worst time ever. I practically had zero life then. Weekdays, i had classes in the morning to afternoon, after class work for Uni and certain days after that, teach my juniors. On average, i was in uni from 7am - 7pm. On weekends, work part time as promoters from 10am - 10pm. That was the very worst ever. Thank goodness for ptptn! Oh, i'm ranting again..lol..

I'm not a money person, i mean if you were to give me RM100 and ask me to do something good with it, i probably would have spend it without knowing what i did with the money. Lol.

I think it's in every Librans. Really, not lying. We're born with it, it's a package!
Librans are bad with money

*note: i'm not the person asking this question in forum! lol*

Chocolate craving...

I suddenly craved for chocolate and carbs just now at 11pm. Perfect quick fix - Chocolate cake!

So i googled and found a great recipe for a super duper quick fix.

5 minutes chocolate cake in a mug! Made it in 2 minutes, microwaved for 3 minutes. Now, i'm enjoying it. I don't even have to worry about washing up later, just need to wash a mug and a spoon! How great is that...

Sorry, i didnt take any pics..was too eager to eat it! Mine turn out to be a bit rubbery, i think i baked it too long. Depending on your microwave watts, time varies. I'm not sure how many watts my microwave is but i did it in 3 minutes.. I think i'll try 2 mins and 30 secs next time. But it still taste nice, i added an extra spoon of cocoa powder so it's more chocolaty.

You can get the recipe here.

Counting my blessings

I'm blessed. Really, i am. I've decided to count my blessings everyday to remind myself how lucky i am. And to avoid whining too much. To start off today,

I am blessed because i have great friends who genuinely care for me. You know who you are :) Despite me being whiny and complaining too much at times, you guys are still there to listen to me. Thanks a million for that! *hugs*
