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.

May Discovery

Hello, welcoming the month of June.

May had been great!

Discovered something that really makes me... what do I call it? Happy perhaps. All smiles whenever I think about it. Like a girl in love. Hah

Hence, the supposed to be a busy month of May, I get a little distracted on my obsession for BAKING again.

Not sure 'again' is the correct word but this obsession never really stops before. It still frequently appeared in my mind whatever, whenever or wherever I go. ;)

Then why do I say I discovered it during the month of May?

Here's why.

I did mentioned that I work part time in a pastry shop starting April right?

FYI, my last day of work at Shervone Cakes & Pastry are on 13 May 2016. So I approximately worked there for about one and a half month only.

To be honest, I've learned quite a lot of stuffs while working there. Gonna miss baking there though.

If I'm not wrong, I said before that this work might either make me love baking even more or the opposite, hate it! Oh yes, it really did project much more obvious traits in me than ever and guess what?
LOVE or HATE? (obviously you know the answer already)

A definite LOVE!

Anyways, most of the time when I was working, all I do was baking, baking, a bit of decorating and more baking.

This is where I started to get really attracted to decorating cakes and getting creative ideas of beautiful cakes in my mind. Inspirations came flow in as if I just break into a beehive. Haha

Plus, I realized that in baking industry, I don't think I could work for someone else because it really limits your own creative ideas. Especially when decorating cakes cause you'll need to follow orders as in what you need to do and what you cannot do. (I don't mean the customers though)

Let's make an assumption, if I work for myself and I don't like using fondant in deco (nobody eats it anyway), then I could find better alternatives like modelling chocolate. (Nobody will ever say no to chocolate right?) But you cannot say NO if your boss say you gotta use fondant right? Of course the consequence is that the modelling chocolate will be way more expensive than fondant which is purely sugar.

Now I know why there's so many homemade cakes out there. You can only really enjoy the baking and decorating process if you work on your own.
CHEERS to own creativity, flowing inspirations, no limitations etc.

By the way, do you know how keen I can be towards the addiction to bakery? Ask the boyfriend to see how crazy I am. Heh

Or I'll just tell you la.

For example, when my boyfriend and I go dating and we do some shopping, I rarely go to any shops/boutiques selling apparels, cosmetics or even the heels/shoes like a normal lady would go to. Besides, I'll go for bakery shops, Daiso, Tesco etc. all just to shop for baking ingredients and baking utensils. I did it as if it's like my collections. My only limitation is there's no space for me to put all my collections. (Dad would be furious) All in all, I'm getting addicted to it I admit. ;)

Also, I did went into shops like SenQ, Harvey Norman, SEC, Ban Hin Bee (electrical shops) etc to just have a look at all the electric mixers and ovens. I need to own one electric mixer like seriously. I currently owning a hand mixer only so there's kind of a limit to the pastries I could bake. My dream is obviously to own a Kitchen Aid but it's really expensive for me right now. Unless, you plan to surprise me one. Haha Anyways, I think I'll go with the cheaper ones first. 

On top of all that addiction, I started stalking/following lots of beautiful cakes' accounts in Instagram and even Snapchat.

Nah, proof ! Hahaha

In conclusion, I know you geddit already, I'm really quite into this. Haha

That idea even passes my mind. It is to start selling beautiful and delicious cakes after I done experimenting the best kind of recipes. Just to fill in the past time, of course.

Will you be interested to buy cakes that costs not little (maybe ranges about RM 30 - RM 100) from an amateur baker? Not cheap you know all the ingredients plus the effort of experimenting the best one before selling it. Of course it would be beautifully decorated. Heh

But first, I gotta really remain focus on my coming ACCA P7 exam on 6 June, which is just only a few days away. Oh gosh.

And yes on April, I did said that I did not even start revising yet. (The-last-minute-kind) Obviously, I'm not in the same condition la now abo ma die liao.

I'm actually quite prepared for it already but still.... not really ready to face it yet but I think it's pretty normal cause nobody will be entirely well prepared and ready before an exam. Unless you know what's the questions are already Hah.

So best of luck to me and I'll see you again after this terrifying exam.

Toodles,

Flashback April

As I promised, the random short entry I'll post.

Start working part time at Shervone Cakes & Pastry. 

Loving the working hours. Usually it's from 10 am to 2 pm only. Total of 4 hours work. 

Basically, I bake at work. And some decorations to do too.

Attended two weddings this month itself. One is cousin's which is on 24th and another is boyfie's friend on 30th.

The other day during wedding ceremony (morning until night), keep carrying babies/toddlers until the next day ache like what only. Not even Yoko yoko could save my arms but no regrets kay. Heh

Pass my ACCA optional P6 paper. Like finally. Left one more to go. P7 coming next on June. 

I basically did not touch P7 yet. Not at all. Left one month to go and I do look calm from the outside but I'm actually really stress inside. 

Learn to pipe 2D floral cupcakes by myself. Bought the 852 tip from Sunshine at Siam Road. Loving this progress.

My inner baking self is always there but to my surprise, I triggered my inner cooking self which I do not know exist in me. 

Hope to bake/cook more soon since I bought a lot of baking ingredients and yes, cooking ingredients too. 

After working in a bakery shop, I really feel having a legitimate electric mixer is really useful and saves a lot of time. I can bake 6 cakes within an hour with one electric mixer and a huge oven. 

So about that, I really hope to own one electric mixer. Normally, people would go for Kitchen Aid and yes, that's my dream come true but it's too expensive for me right now. I think I'll go with cheaper brands first. 

Budget set for myself for an electric mixer about RM500++

Read Timothy Tiah's Dayre and his new camera (Sony A6300) really attracted my attention. Especially when he said it's really suitable for amateurs. Like me lo. But it costs a whole RM4,550/RM5,500. Siao liao. No $$$ No talk. So I can forget about this thought for now.  

Having shared bank account with mom and to separate which is which and whose is whose is so complicated. Say no more to shared complicated bank accounts. 

I think that's way too much for a random short flashback right? Heh Too many things happen in a month ma. 

Okay la. Signing off liao

Byes,

BoonFection no.8 no.9 no.10

This time our conversations may seems to relate a lot about the future which we imagined really happy, bright and positive thoughts. Though we're not sure we could fulfill it or not but its 'the thought that counts' for me. What's the 'thought' I meant? (I'll explain at the end of all our conversations.)

Anyways, you may think our conversations are a bit unrealistic but we sometimes (not often) plan or even imagine about the future together. It won't hurt to think too far right. Heh 

BF no. 8

B : Next time our room must link to a toilet to make the entrance first. 

V : Huh? Why leh? You mean once open door to our room will see toilet first? 

B : Yupp so everytime before enter our room must wash legs first. 

(Walao he suddenly so particular about hygiene and cleanliness)

V : Aiyer, then ma very ugly. Unless got another door lo. 

B : Got another door la for the toilet to link to our room ma. 

V : *Facepalm* Walao I mean our room la. Not the toilet. Room must got two doors.

B : Like that then do the toilet at entrance to wash legs ma no purpose already. 

V : hahahha Yes. Cause your idea of designing fail kaokao (a lot). Next time please leave the design and renovation part for me. You just be the one pay money can already. Hehe

(He ended up smiling and speechless. Hah)

BF no.9

V : Planning to call you hang all these photo frames on the wall for me de. But it needs drilling. So ma huan. 

B : In future, our house need to build like another layer of wood covering the walls before we hang/drill anything on the wall. Then can change everytime. You can even have different types of themes like what you want de.

V : Why cannot straight drill on the wall? Somemore need another layer of wood pula.

B : Drill already, the wall will have many holes very ugly. Can't fix back.

V : Eh can fix one actually. Yy told me can use white clay to mend it back nicely.

B : Yer, still not nice one. My idea better. We can change the theme every year somemore.

V : Wow.. Every year somemore lo. Very rich ha. Nevermind, your money ma. Next time your money keep a portion for house renovation and also my shopping ya. Hahah

(He ended up smiling and speechless too. Hah)

BF no. 10

V : Nah, since you so free help me arrange this books properly and tidily on the shelves. I remember the last time you tidy time also very nice and clean. You also like to tidy up properly and make sure everything is in order like me?

B : No la. I don't like. I just can't stand seeing it so untidy so ma tidy lo.

V : Oh, cheh ! Somemore thought you like to tidy up like me cause I really like tidying and arranging stuffs nicely and beautifully de but now I busy so you help me a while ya. Thank you. *Grins* 

(Obediently do as I say and help me arrange the books)

V : Eh, sounds like a great combination leh. Next time, you in charge of cleaning and wiping while me in charge of arranging and put in place nicely okay? Heheh coz by arranging, I don't need to deal with dust ma since I'm sensitive to it. Plus in future, you can leave the place in charge of designing house for me while you can do nothing but take out money from your pocket can le. Hahahahah thank you ya

(He smiles, shook his head and remain speechless to me syok-sendiri-ing while continue to arrange the books)

So what 'thought' was I referring?
The thought that a guy thinks of his future with you (I don't think it is a usual thing for a guy to think of their future with someone unless they are really serious)
The thought that he even go to the extent to imagine about our future house we're both gonna stay together in (As far as I know, only girls usually starts to imagine a lot, not usual for the guys to initiate the imagination first)
The thought that he never denied or shows any sign of disagreement to my every attempt of asking him to take out his $ for us. (I don't expect him to actually agrees to my ridiculous offer? heh)

Okay la, that's all for the sweet blabber. Hah

Loves,

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,

Dearest Wei Boon

Anyway, here's some of our memories together but I could not put it all cause it would be a very very long video.

Thank you for loving me and spoiling me. Hahaha (my parents try not to spoil me but you did it)
