okay this poster should be up before new year but oh well it still applies i guess. i want 2012 to be awesome. and i badly need to organize my life to kick off the year in the right way. Which means a lot of decluttering and revamping. gone with the old. time for the new! it’s a massive project so i have decided to give myself till end of jan!

Online space:
- pinterest (add new boards: my scraps, beautiful people, weddings)
- blog (update my sidebar)

One estilo:
- tumblr (for archive)
- website (sidebar, tabs)

Gadgets
- iphone (delete any unwanted photos, apps, songs)
- mac ( delete all unwanted folders, install my photoshop and radlab)

Declutter:
- my wardrobe ( pack all my unwanted clothes & accessories, organize my drawers)
- my scrap items ( put up unused items for sale)
- my bookshelf
- my study room drawer

beauty regime:
- HAIRCUT ( omgosh haven’t cut my hair for the longest time. surprised that it’s still in shape)
- facial ( the stress and fatigue has resulted in numerous pimples)
- manicure and pedicure ( scheduled before CNY)

sounds like loads to do and i’m pretty sure the list will grow. i’m excited (: hopefully i’ll follow through! 2012 here i comeeee.

2011: the good

2011 has left me jaded and emotionally drained. i can’t believe even the last day of the year has to be one of my saddest days ever. I do, however, still count every little blessing that come along the way in this eventful year. and because i want this space to remind me of all the happy things, i shall recap only the good.

THE GOOD:

- pass my driving (finally)
- went to paris and milan again for my grad trip
- finally graduated!
- have a new haircut that i really love
- have a job that turns out to be a blessing ( with great work culture and awesome colleagues)
- made some really close friends
- kept some close friends even closer

Let’s hope that 2012 will be awesome (:

my christmas wish list.

december has been crazily busy and i’m starting to feel the pressure of christmas. i have yet to send out my cards, done any christmas shopping or even construct my own christmas wish list and christmas is in ONE WEEK’S TIME. shall start off my christmas prep with my wish list first.

1. protective film for my shiny macbook pro
thinking of getting this on klearzkin because i’m really determined to keep my macbook pro in good shape this time. my old mac was just embarrassing.

2. organizer 2012
i’m a sucker for organizers. been really happy with my red one from Miquelrius. I need one that has a lot of space for me to pen down random thoughts and ideas. hoping to find a similar one!!

3. RadLab
I’m also a sucker for processing my photos ( yes i know i have weakness for many things) and RadLab is totally awesome. photos look great after and it is completely effortless. my trial period is coming to an end so time to get the real deal!

4. prada wallet
went to the shop to get a feel of the wallets and i am especially IN LOVE WITH THIS.
