A page from the gratitude journal - Nars Multiple

 

I love a hardworking makeup product that helps me save time and  make me look presentable. Nars Mutiple can go on your eyelids, cheeks and lips for a natural no makeup look *winks* that is great for the ridiculously humid weather in Singapore.:)

P/s: I only paste the top layer of the cardboard packaging in my gratitude journal.

Gratitude pages - Miffy head cushion and yummy lunch

 

Throwback to last November when I got the Miffy head cushion....she's super cute and a matching Miffy head charm (which I gifted to nephew #1's girlfriend). Also got to eat yummy food to celebrate the bestie's birthday. :)

Pages from the gratitude journal - Miffy drink containers!

Got these Montigo Miffy drink containers last year in Kuala Lumpur. Still using and loving them. :) Except for the Miffy slingbag for the larger drink container. It's pretty useless from protecting the base of the container when you accidentally drop it. Needless to say, my base has been dinged a few times. *LOL*

Basically just cut out the container box to decorate these pages. :)

Gratitiude journal - SQ lounge in Bangkok

I really enjoyed the SQ lounge in Bangkok - possibly the best I've be to in the region. And it's located just above the boarding gate for the flight back to Singapore. So you can literally stay in the lounge till it's time to board the plane. :)

Page from the 2025 gratitude journal - new luggage

 

I really wanted a cabin luggage with the front pocket opening for easy access to my laptop when I travel. It was on 50% off so mum bought her two daughters each  a cabin luggage. Yay! Thanks mum!

Can you guess which one is mine? *winks*

Gratitude Journal 2025 - new makeup

 

Love that the makeup boxes came with the actual product photos....which were perfect for documentation in the gratitude journal. Also, I wasn't constrained by the square photo so I could play a little more with the layout of the page.:)

Got some really fun sandals from Camper!  And new luggage from the airlines because they couldn't repair the damage to my old one.:)

Last May in my gratitude journal

 

A week in May 2025 spent in Ho Chi Minh, staying at my usual hotel , Caravelle. Even though it was 2 months after my birthday, they still gave me cake! *winks* 

I also went to my cousin's place (He's married to a Vietnamese and resides in HCM) to visit his gazillion cats. He and his wife go around rescuing cats to save them from being eaten. I was very busy at his place...too many cats to cuddle..no time to rest. *LOL*

A page from the gratitude journal - new friends from Bangkok

 

I love using wooden utensils...but they do wear out after some time. So whenever I travel, I will pick up a few new ones as my "backup". They also make lovely gifts for friends. :)

My Melody stash from Japan - in my gratitude journal

 

Got so many My Melody stuff in 2025. This was the first batch that my sister got me from Japan. :)

Pages from the 2025 gratitude journal

 

Kuriya Dining is my fave Japanese restaurant in Singapore so I always enjoy my meals there. Especially since the dining experiences are far and fewer in between these days. I only head to town once a week to run errands and the restaurant is small so advanced booking is required. Sometimes the stars just don't align. *melancholic music plays in the background*

And sometimes we need to support the local guys too. Like this small restaurant called 8picure. The savoury dishes were great though the dessert left us wanting. This place is even smaller...only seats 10. So I've only been there once. 

Ahhh... last year's stay at the Shangri-La KL. Really love this hotel. The best breakfast buffet spread, Loccitane toiletries, swimming pool and sauna (my must-haves) and of course, a free upgrade to a suite (if that's available)...but not always my choice because of its location sadly. Traffic in the city area in Kuala Lumpur is often one way so it's just faster to walk to places. And who wants to walk 20 minutes in the heat instead of 5 minutes right? How many of us have given up cozy comfort for convenience? *LOL*

Also got my new iPad last year on the same trip so it was a happy experience. :)

Happy weekend friends!

First trip to Danang - pages from the 2025 gratitude journal

 

Last January I finally made a trip to Danang. Apparently, they have fine-dining restaurants too. :) Also made it to Hoi An (about 45 minutes away)...I love the UNESCO-listed ancient town. So pretty at night. Super touristy though.

Also did the whole Bana Hills thing to see the Golden Hand Bridge. It was quite expensive for a tourist spot in Vietnam. And the Hand is made of concrete and really didn't look that great. 

New place means exploring new places to eat. Found a lovely steak place (or two).

Also got my beach-inspired nails done. I stayed in a hotel just across from the beach so I was doing my grounding every day. And the flowers there are so cheap that I bought a bouquet on the first day to enjoy for the week I was there. :)
