There's a little over a week left of 2016. This is sooo overused but I really can't believe how fast time has gone. I'm turning 21 next year. TWENTY ONE. I'm celebrating my birthday and Raya in Melbourne, without my family next year. I'm feeling kinda down about it because I've never been away from my family for celebrations like Hari Raya. How am I gonna get my duit raya?! :(

I'm excited to see what next year has for me! I've already enrolled myself for next semester. I'm taking 3 second year units in Media & Communication, Sociology and Marketing and a first year French unit. I'm still contemplating on whether to take up French or Mandarin next year. Mandarin because I learned it for 3 or 4 years I think? I went to a Chinese kindergarten and took Mandarin for 2 years during my primary school days. So I thought it'd be easier for me to learn again if I take it next year. Plus, it's the world's most spoken language so... And my dad keeps going on and on about how Mandarin would be helpful in the world of business. But I also wanna take up French because it's such a sexy language hahahah. Ok seriously, I have always had this big ass dream of working in a well-known fashion/beauty company in Europe. So I thought French would be nice to add to my resume ya know. I have always wanted to do marketing/merchandising/retailing/media in the fashion or beauty industry!!

I've got sooo many things I wanna do next year. My plan is to get a part-time job to save up and explore Australia. I wanna go back to Sydney, Gold Coast, probably visit a friend in Tasmania and go skiing in New Zealand. I miss New Zealand so much!!

I'm also hoping to go to more concerts and maybe a music festival or two next year. As I'm typing all of this, I can hear the voice in my head going "Are you sure you can save enough money for all this?!" I'm gonna try!!

Hi! I hope everyone's having a wonderful day! Recently, King Ranch has been sharing posts on favourite winter boot styles this season! I thought I would do the same and also include how I would style my favourite winter boots.

#1: Combat boots

HI! I haven't done a favourites post in 6 months! Thought I would do one before the year ends :)

I have been back home for exactly 2 weeks now. One of the many things I miss about Melbourne is how cheap almond milk is over there. If you know me, I eat oatmeal for breakfast EVERY. MORNING. Before moving to Melbourne, I used to eat baked oatmeal with green apples. I used water instead of milk in my oatmeal because I gag at the taste and smell of milk. So during my first visit to Coles, I decided to try almond milk because it's $3ish. Pretty cheap, if you ask me. I thought almond milk would be a good alternative to regular milk and it is. So ever since then, I make my oatmeal with almond milk. It doesn't smell like regular milk does. I don't exactly like how it taste on its own either but it still works. I was stuck on that routine for 4 months. Now that I'm back in Malaysia, I can't just go out to the store and get almond milk because it's expensive af here. So I usually alternate between cereal and bagel for breakfast and I don't like it. It's good but not filling.

I can't believe I'm ranting about almond milk. What a first world problem to have... It's not just almond milk!! I want baby spinach too!! Dude, I have been itching to make this quinoa salad that I did back in Melbourne but it requires baby spinach. My local grocery place doesn't carry baby spinach... Even if it does, I bet it's expensive. Do you see my problem!!

Anyway, I'm thinking of doing a 'A Day in My Life' vlog when I go back to Melbourne in February. I'm planning on going home a week-ish before the new semester commences. So I've got plenty of time to lounge around before the chaos begins. I wanna go to St. Kilda, Eureka Tower, Camberwell Sunday Market, The Royal Botanic Gardens, so many other places!! I've said this before and I'll say this again - I will forever be grateful to my parents for the opportunity to experience life abroad. One of the most nerve-wracking, scariest, most amazing things that has ever happened to me.

I have 2ish months here. I've been meaning to get a job but I'm so lazy. But then, I think of the things I wanna get and that requires money. And I'm not gonna spend my parents' money on things I want ya kno. Especially when these things cost like RM200... I want a pair of all-white Nike Air Max Thea and the new NMDs so bad!! Also, I've been 'fantasizing' about going to LA or Hawaii at the end of my degree. Too big of a dream? Probably but it's only a 14-hour flight to LA from Melbourne. So that's not too bad right? Plus, if I'm not wrong, Hawaii is only a 10-hour flight. How cool is that?!
