Hello there everyone. So I've been doing a shitload of de-cluttering basically culling my stuff since I've basically moved back in with my family after ending my degree. But before that, I would like to announce that I've achieved my third 4flat as my result for my last semester ; Alhamdulillah! All the hard work was regretless(?) and worth it. the funny thing is I thought the results will come out on the 29th instead of the 26th so I was so unprepared but I'm so thankful to have gotten 4flat as a final result.

So I've de-clutter/cull my stuff - I started off with my clothes, then my miscellaneous deco items, my grooming products (cosmetics, skincare, shampoo, bodywash and the likes of it), my bags, and kitchen items. Fundamentally I watched this Rachel Aust video to just get some underhand tips before I get started because I need to do this de-cluttering as soon as possible or I'll just be restless. I don't particularly have space in my house (not anymore) as the older my sisters and I grew - the more stuff we own. That's why I decided to completely de-clutter my belongings. I threw/donate things that I no longer use/damage - and detached myself from items as it influenced my culling decisions. There is indeed a difference between keeping things because you still want it and keeping things because you still use it. I decided to cut off any attachments I had with the stuff I was de-cluttering and managed to provide so much space for the stuff that I am using/need.

As I've gotten older - I became very annoyed when I own way too many. I'm not the type of person that needs collections of stuff. I'm satisfied with having one of each needed item. I've become more and more of a minimalist. I used to own a drawer of makeup now I own only a handful. I used to own a few collection of shoes - now I own only one that I can use to dress up casually or formally. I used to wear all these eyeshadows, highlighters, lipsticks and keep on changing my makeup look day by day now I stick to one for daily basis. I used to own 10 belts and 10 handbags and keep on changing them day by day. I guess it's because I've gotten lazy as well that I've succumb to this. This is also why I dislike it when people give me gifts that can force me to have a "collection" of things. I prefer them buying me food instead because I don't want to choose my own stuff. Such a hassle aint it. I'm also the kind to invest a lot of money on one item that last long and multipurpose because I don't wish to find a replacement for it when it broke as soon as possible.

either than my usual sunblock and baby powder - I decided to keep only these. I don't own much makeup to begin with anyways. I also took in consideration in how much money I splurge on them and shelf lives. 

I don't like changing stuff like shoes or bags - I rather just use one for a very long time. Most of the time I'll use the handbag (on the left - I owned it for more than three years now and it's still in good condition) when I'm wearing formal attire and on the right most of the time as I've gotten lazy in slinging my handbag. a back-pack kind of handbag is easier for me now.

Now I'm just working on minimalising my spendings as well. Since I want to own as little as possible - I wish it can help me to save up. Till then.

Hello there everyone. So it has been a while, and my last update was exactly a month ago. I have just wrapped up my degree (for good!), I ended up a little earlier than some of my transfer credit batches because I took a couple of subjects that were going to drag me down to another extra special semester. I know, it was really risky as I had like 18 credit hours including FYP and what not but hey, nothing a little focus, determination and loads of hard work and prayers couldn't have work that out.

So here I am, a free panda. The only thing that sucks is that I'm the only one out of my batch that ends this semester (so as like, 3 other people?) so I did not really get to plan a short getaway or anything with my friends as they have one more special semester to go. But you know, if I could end my degree even earlier I would, so - hell yeah! I managed to finish my final year project early (like,weeks earlier) and I used to think I wouldn't even finish it on time. People would normally lose their heads on the final month but I ended up getting more relaxed. Probably because I settled everything early - everything and not just the FYP.

I was basically leisuring on my last month - I ate insanely a lot up to the point that I started to look better now (I gained some insignificant weight - my cheeks don't look like so sunken anymore and some skin colour - my complexion looks alive now), my mood was very good and I was very happy (amidst finals and preparing for FYP presentation).

I went out with a few friends as a "goodbye outing", including my ex. my friends mostly had meals with me, and with one of them we caught "deadpool" together. I spent half a day with my ex in KLCC eating good food, talking and exploring Aquaria (I told him when we were dating I've always wanted to go there, he was kind enough to consider that) as friends. Ofcourse, I spent up to the very last day in uniten before leaving with a very special friend of mine - thank you :) Thank you to everyone who had an outing with me, thank you to everyone who sent me messages saying goodbye. I'll treasure our final meeting/conversation the most.
