MIA

Hello to my personal space again

Couldn't believe myself that I've actually stop blabbering in this space for almost half a year. This place, I absolutely miss.

In these 6 months, a lot has actually happened. A LOT!

There were ups and downs but I believe there's more ups than downs. Maybe cause I'm happy and satisfied in my current life and all is well.

I think I'll just summarize up part of my happenings in the first past 3 months within this short post. I'll try to make it as short and summarize as I possibly can la ha. Cause when I start talk type, I can't stop. Heh (I'm a quite long-winded person)

The last updated post about me is working in a bakery and will be sitting in the June ACCA examinations if I'm not wrong. I'll basically pick up my happenings from June then.

June.

- Sit exam on the 6th, Monday but I, myself know I did not do well in that examination cause I did not manage my time well so were not able to finish. A sad sad day.

- The boyfriend told me there's a Ban Hin Bee (BHB) and Kitchen Tech Warehouse Sale at Island Plaza from 10th to 12th June. He knows me well and yes, he got it right. I go all excited about it and finally on the very first day, 10th in the morning, we went to the sale. Actually that's the only time I'm free la out of the 3 days cause we will be away (more on that at the next point). Conclusion, I got my very first BABY (A Kitchen Aid Mixer) while my another Babe signed the bills. Hah (Thanks Love) 

- Just about a week ago before it happen, my uncle (PekPek) ask if anyone is interested to go camping at Cameron Highlands, of course in that very minute I saw the message, I checked my calendar and gave a resounding YES! I'm that spontaneous if I'm sure I'm free. (So, don't forget to jio me to any vacay when you're planning yea TQ)

Then camping it is. Spontaneous camping trip which I enjoyed from 10th to 12th. (Sorry I did not take any pictures during the whole camping trip cause I would really love to enjoy the nature without any social medias distracting me)

- Had a small dinner on Father's Day with the family obviously but forgotten where did we go already, ooppssiee

- Plus, the relatives made another big family gathering to celebrate Father's Day for the eldest Father (grandpa) of us all at Holiday Inn Resort. We had the buffet dinner on the 24th. If I'm not wrong, we went for the buy 2 free 1 promo buffet. 

July.

- From the 6th to 7th (during Raya holidays), had a short getaway with the relatives to Gopeng, Adeline's Villa. (Two days one night stay) Definitely, another best vacay since I've had in ages with the relatives. Actually all vacations with the relatives, I'll be overjoyed. Cause I love love love family gatherings, moreover, family vacations. (Top of the world leh) Again, no pictures taken by me cause enjoying another escapes to the nature. 

- Finally first time stepping into the Audit/Accounting working industry. Started working as an Audit Associate in a small audit firm (KS Lau & Co) on the 11th. Expose to how an audit firm really operates and what I felt about auditing. It's a good feeling though. Luckily I liked it cause that would be part of my life soon now. 

- Sister is back from Singapore for 2 weeks which we enjoyed her company again. 

- Expecting bad news on the 18th. Got my P7 results and failed but there's improvement from the previous results so yeah, I'm quite satisfied I overcome some of my weaknesses. Of course still sad though. Determination set in not to give up as "Failure is the best way to learn." It got me thinking of a new and better plan/strategy to achieve my target. So it's definitely not a big failure but I'll treat it as a learning experience. A chance for me to taste the feeling of failure and to manage it well. (In future, when I faced more failures, I'll be able to adapt and manage it well so yeah, good training)

- Still motivated and determined so faster registered for the next exam in September. 

August. 

- Held grandpa's birthday dinner on the 6th at New Midlands Court Restaurant. They gave us a 5-tables room furnished with karaoke set. Chose this restaurant cause of their karaoke room cause grandpa love singing so yeah, all of us get to sing all we want when we feast.

- My nephew, baby Daryl born on the 15th. The first ever 1-day old baby that I've ever seen which is so good-looking and adorable. (Usually when I see most new born babies, they only started to look adorable after a few weeks old) Anyways, welcome to the family, Sha Daryl. <3 div="">

- My chinese birthday falls in this month. Only the boyfriend remembers actually cause I, myself forgotten all about it also. He personally make me a Red Egg (traditional way of celebrating birthday). Thanks for being such a thoughtful boyfriend to me.

-  On 26th, colleagues made a farewell apartment stay for the interns at Mansion One. It's from a friend so the apartment is FOC. I'm actually grounded from going out so I did not stayed over, just drop by a few hours. We feasted, chit-chat, snapped pictures and finally played a game called "Police, Nurse, Killer & Citizens" A game where we can really bond and social among one another and I must say it's the perfect game for gatherings (A game I really enjoyed). That few hours were enough, enough to make me relieve the stress I'm having because exam is around the corner.

- END -

I'll end my post here for now. I'll be sure to update my happenings for the other past 3 months here as soon as I find my free time facing the screen again besides facing it every day at work.

Quite tiring for my eyes to face the bright screen even when I'm back home after looking at it all hours in the office.

Catch'em all soon yea.

Laters.

1st Anni-Blogger-sary

The title says it all.

Today, my 'Diary' officially turns to ONE

I've been blogging since 2009 which was few years ago but I never really liked it back then

it was like an obligation for me to post my stories up

At that time, there's just no feeling of narrating my stories up in a diary/book nevertheless blog

but then on this day, when I was literally in the shower, I had a great feeling

*Shower is my best place of getting new ideas* I should get one of this I think

I'm not sure how it came but the idea just POP out of my head and the feeling just came out right from the heart.

The feeling of narrating/writing down my stories/memories

at a place where I can keep it and wouldn't scare of it getting lost 

(my hard disk wouldn't be overloaded with pictures)

whilst sharing them with people

though my stories are not interesting but it is for me.

30 years from now, I could glance back the pictures and memories where I stores it right here.

Yes this is the date

14th October 2014, Tuesday

I'm officially a blog lover.

When I had that idea in the shower, I literally come out from it without thinking of dressing myself first, I on my laptop to click on the button "New Blog"

that's how this "vkykhoo.blogspot.com" been born! 

So, the date today which is 14th October 2015, Wednesday

I would like to officially announced its One Year Old Birthday

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

If you've been following me from the start, you'll also realize I have a logo for my blog.

It's a rough scratch and hand drawn by me.

Yes, it's also created/drawn on the same day when the blog is born.

When ideas came, I just couldn't stop it from coming and obviously I wouldn't ignored it too.

So I'll just go with the spontaneous flow with what my shower ideas brought up. Hah.

Anyways, I've edited my Blog Logo just for the sake of my Blog's Anniversary.

(You gotta be thinking that I have nothing better to do right. Heh)

I wouldn't deny that I'm a little perfectionist when it comes to little things like that

Although it's not the real Perfect but I did my best with my limited creativity skills.

As you can see earlier,

Today's theme is Baby Pink & Baby Blue

it's actually kinda obvious.

Nearly everything is in these colors.

So far, I've never regretted or even once had the thought of stopping my narrating habits/blogging

Gotta DREAM BIG DARE TO FAIL right?

Hahah okays I admit

I don't think that statement relates anything between blogging and failing.

(Just found this picture which suddenly suits my theme color so yeah, put it here)

But it actually kinda relates to not giving up and dreaming big!

At least, I think so.

Enough of the wordings now

Glance of some of the pictures I blogged one year ago.

Gone through quite a lot of things just in a year

Here goes

Can you recall back to all those moments/blog post through these pictures?
I know I did.

Ending this post with a great happy laughter

(just cause the colors match my theme again) teehee

The best thing about MEMORIES is Making Them

Yours faithfully,

A Different Feel

Howdy,

If you read my blog before, you'll know what's the difference between my previous and latest blog design.

Anyway, I'll still show you my previous blog design too. (just in case)

Here you go~

It's a very simple one.

To get started, always start with a simple & a clear one.

So you can get your mind straight of what you want it to be later on.

So the more I blogged, the more I wanted it to be better. (Perfectionist betul)

Thus, this time my blog is giving you a totally different type of feeling, yeah?

That's what I intend to. 

Leave me some comment about the feeling you get when you see this

(Love to hear about your thoughts too)

I'll start by giving credits to the person who helped me in this, like literally he did all this for me.

Thank you so much, Nicholas Chew Tsyr Churn. 

He did this favor for me without asking anything in return, how nice of him.

He said by helping me, he could take this as an opportunity to learn something too.

So yeah, really appreciate and grateful for his help and time spent on this blog of mine.

To be honest, I don't even have a single tiny little knowledge about coding or what so called HTML.

I guess to design blog, you should at least know the basic. 

Google might help a lot but still when it comes to the small little details, it's really hard to find.

Before this, I've been searching everywhere to find more inspiration and that feeling I want to have in my blog. 

However, the designs that mostly inspire me are mostly applicable only on WordPress. It's a disappointment.

Fortunately with the help of Nic, he found a Blogspot template which really gave me that type of feeling I want. So glad to have his help. (Thanks again if you see this)

I think I'm starting to bore you from all the talking. 

Now I'm gonna describe to you some small little details about my blog.

Do you see the bar where it shows, "Home. About Me. Profile. Contacts."

You can actually click it & find out more (if you would like to know)

Home - Blog posts located

About Me - A short Bio data about The Author (me)

Profile - It's like my bucket list where I list the things I desire

Contacts - Ways to contact me & I attached with my name(username/ID) on that particular social medias for easy searching

Social Bar.

where you can click inside & it will directly connect you to me through other types of social media

(I find it cute actually)

You can actually access to my blog labels at the bottom of my blog too.

Although you can still find Archive & any Popular Posts on the right side of my blog. 

There are still more to discover so I hope you would like my blog design the same way as I do.

By the way, there are still some flaws I find in this blog and is still trying to find the solutions.

So, if there is any flaws or solutions or basically anything, you can leave me a comment. 

Finally, ending this post by saying my appreciation to Nicholas Chew Tsyr Churn again. (your name is actually quite hard to pronounce I suppose)

Thanks Nic. =D

Ps, my boyfie did try to help me in this too but this is not really in his type of field so I know he give his best too. Thank you sweetie.

Loves,

Edited version

Do you see any difference in my Logo on the previous post and the right side of my blog?

It's just a slight difference where an idea just pop!
Cause basically my previous logo, the ♥ shape at the end of the 'y' doesn't really resemble anything.

That's why I've finally get the idea of editing it to a frosty looking pattern. Which I love Love LOVE about baking, is to decorate!

So this is the edited version,

Now what I've been thinking is to whether to have some colors on it or not.
Any suggestions?

Signing off with loves,

Logo

As you can see the logo for my blog which is at the right side of my blog is actually hand drawn and created by me.

Ps, you can see flaws everywhere on the drawings. hehe Rough scratch by pencil. (It's a pencil art piece)

I've always wanted a Logo which describe about myself.
and finally I have the initiative to take the pencil up and start drawing.

Of course with the help of pictures and inspiration from a few sources.
Like the blog I usually read which is my cousin, Sarah and her boyfriend, Adrian's food blog
Cause their female logo is pretty simply to draw as my skills are limited, so yeah I get the idea from there.

However, my skills are really limited so I don't know how to use digital drawing.

So in future, maybe I might ask for help. May be !
or is there anyone kind enough to offer me yours? teeheee~
*much appreciated*

Okay, cut the crap!

Descriptions on my Logo,
The girl - of course it represents me smiling happily =)
Holding a :-
Whisk - I love baking so I might post pictures about the pastries I bake in this blog entry.
Feather Pen (Quill Pen) - I blogged so this basically means I'm the author and I'm currently studying ACCA thus, I'm always holding a pen* (can you relate what I meant?)

Do you saw my Logo shown a huge Vky sign ?
Cupcakes - on the word 'y' 

To clarify things, this Logo of mine is not permanent yet!
I might change is there is any new bright ideas popping out of my head

UPDATES
I have edited one part of my logo, you can see it from here. 

Toodles ~

Loves,

About D' Blog

Hello bloggie,

Vky is actually a name I've created cause it sounds like my name, Vicky.
So I've shorten it to be Vky.
Anyway, this blog is certainly about ME, my lifestyle perhaps.

The Randomness. The Passion. The Ups & Downs.

Basically anything and everything I did, do, doing or will be doing.

This is a quote which really represents the 'me' and 'this blog'

"Doing what you Love ; Loving what you Do"

This is because I really enjoys baking. It's my passion. I love the process, the outcome, the pastries, the expressions people give when they eat it. Tell me! Who doesn't love desserts? 

However, I'm currently studying for this professional subject "Association of Chartered Certified Accountants" (ACCA) which means my future will be mainly in finance and it might be my career one day.

Thus, I'm going to express the love by writing out in this blog of Doing what I Love and Love Doing.

That's about all for now.

Loves,
