Another month has gone by and just like that, we are in the second quarter of the year 2021.

I set myself a couple of goals and habits that I would like to achieve and I think I did manage to reach what I would like this month. I set myself up to cook more, take care of my face more and try to learn a new recipe and in my Bujo, I added plan a date for myself and play more keyboard. 

I did all of that and I was even amaze by my own cooking skills even though I don't get what the heck I am doing most of the time. I brought myself out for a date and it was fun, spending half of the day in queues, doing and eating the things that I like. 

There was a week where I was in the slump and could not even bother to shower nor to wash the dishes. During those few days, I ate little, ate cereal for dinner and bread for lunch and that is all about it. I got over it after a few days but boy - I really allowed myself to suffer and lo and behold the pimples starts to come by. 

The month of March ended pretty well I would say even though there was a slump period. I gave myself self love, although not 100% but I did better than last month and I hope I can do better for myself too. It's a struggle but it's going to be me who can only care for myself aye? 

Hello Peeps! 

Celik-celik mata, it's coming to April soon. How did time flew by that fast? 

I'm kinda proud of this month - out of 5 goals that I set for myself, I managed to complete 4. *tap tap on back*

Now, let's take a look on how did March went in terms of financial management.

As usual, my top spending goes to bills and this month was a little low as I had some commitment coming to an end. However, standing at 53% of my income, boy, that is not a sight that I enjoy, given that I do not have a car nor a house. 

Standing at number 2 is of course, entertainment at 17%, way more than last month and the biggest purchase that I made was another new tattoo and new books. I told myself not to get new books as online books are cheaper but after trying to finish 2 online books, I gave up. I came to the conclusion that reading on phone or laptop actually distracts me and it doesn't give the same joy as the physical books hence, I am removing that rule but...yes, there is of course a but.. I can only buy books once I finished reading the books that I got (Which is quite a high number to last me for a couple more months). I had less starbucks this month and I am super proud of myself - less coffee cause I could brew it myself at home and less plastic waste too! 

And finally, coming in third, was my health and I did spend quite a lot on it since I renewed my therapy session hence, having to fork up a sum of money for that. It's okay though - this is expected so it's alright. 

Overall, did I did it? Hmm - I did managed to control my urge to buy useless things. I had the habit to add to cart, look at it, rethink my decision, and exit the app. Even in malls - I enter the stall, touch a little here and there and decided, hey I don't need these. Although I think I fail due to getting a tattoo when I don't need another one, I am still glad that I managed to control the many temptations that I had. 

And that's about it. Another month. I am this close to paying off my credit card bills. This close. (Imagine your hand closing in as slow as a sloth moving)

Hello peeps! 

NU Sentral MPH Bookstore was having sales and books were as cheap as RM3 even though I couldn't find enough time to search for it. The queue to get in was long enough and when you get in, there is another section that you got to queue up for as those were the books that has RM3 price tag. There were tons of people and I kid you not when I had to line up for 40 minutes in total and I only got 10 minutes to search through the pile of books with other people. It was not a fun book shopping that's for sure but I am glad I got myself some new books for the year 2021. All 6 books cost me RM74.90. Not bad aye? 4 of the books I got it from the RM5 pile and the other two had discount tied to it. 

The books that I used to get are crimes, horror, fictional history and sometimes chic lite genre but this time round, I step out from my comfort zone and took a look at books that youngsters are reading. Yep - I got myself 2 books which talks about dragons and riders. Let's dive back into my young reader and see how she feels aye? 

If you are interested in reading and want some new books, you can try to head over to MPH bookstores located in NU Sentral, Gurney Plaza or Vivacity Megamall and the promotion would last up to 31st of March as stocks last. 

And yes... i failed #nobuychallenge once again this month. Dammit.

This was the results when I did the animation. My grandmama (mom side) is still alive however grandpa and uko leto has passed on. 

It's amazing huh how technology can bring life again to these images? There was no video back in the 50's hence to be able to see this, is amazing. I'm pretty sure there are many out there who tried it with their loved ones who unfortunately has passed on. I'm glad that the creator of this app came out with this.
