1001 YouTube subscribers!

This is a really short blog post and I know it has already been a couple of days since I hit my 1000th subscriber, but I just wanted to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! 

2015 Reading Challenge

Set myself a reading challenge of 30 books (which is almost twice as much as the 17 I hit last year) on Goodreads for the year of 2015. But 4 months and 20 books into the challenge, I realised 30 is an easy number to hit when you're school-less and jobless, so I reckoned I should up my game and aim for 50 books instead.

I ❤️ Yankee Candle

If you've noticed the sudden boost of Yankee Candle on my Instagram, that's because I became a Yankee girl this past holiday! 

But my obsession with Yankee Candle didn't only start recently. I've always known about them (I'm a big fan of scents and I do my retail-therapy research!) and have always wanted to buy them, but have also always held back because I'm kind of intimidated by the idea of spending hours sniffing through all the different scents in the store and pissing the salespeople off with my fickle-mindedness. 

Disney Week

I know I've been rather inactive these past few weeks, but besides drowning in my school work, I was also actively cracking my brain for a Christmas song to cover (here is 2013's Santa Baby if you need to refresh your memory: http://youtu.be/mouQxDNabMQ). I thought doing another Christmas song would be too cliche, but it wouldn't exactly be Christmas without some festive cheer either. :(

Then, Willis suggested I do a Disney Week thing, which is probably THE BEST IDEA EVER. I love Disney, everyone loves Disney (yay or nay?), Christmas is like the only time of the year when you can get away with being all giddy like an excited kid - what could be more apt? 

LOOPED

As some of you know, I've been having this constant struggle between wanting to lie low and maintaining my YouTube channel for my leisure, or pushing myself harder and possibly end up having to work towards meeting other people's expectations. While I love having the freedom to do what I want when I want it, another side of me wishes more people would discover and actually watch the videos I put so much effort into producing. Of course, it's no secret that I always (annoyingly) share links across all my social media platforms and affiliated Facebook groups, but even then, I could only reach out to a maximum of a few hundred viewers each time. 

So when a friend (we're friends if we chatted over Facebook right?) asked if I was interested to join an upcoming YouTube community that his friends were setting up, I decided to take the risk. I am adamant to strike a balance and get the best of both freedom/viewers, and this start-up promises just that.

Leaving The Jaywalkers

If you were directed here by my Facebook post, you would've learnt about me leaving The Jaywalkers. I thought an 'official statement' would explain my rather-sudden departure from The Jaywalkers best, so here it is.

Skin woes

I'm currently on my way home from a consultation at Doctor KW Chan's Clinic, trying to hide my sans makeup, acne-ridden face, and complying to the sudden urge to write this blog post. It doesn't have a purpose and it's doesn't have a structure (so it's probably not going to make a lot of sense either), but I just needed to get it off my chest.
