2017 RANDOM FAVOURITES
Here’s a random list of the things I’ve absolutely loved this year.
1. Jo Malone’s English Pear & Freesia Cologne
I received this as a gift about a month ago and I am OBSESSED. This has quickly inched up to my favourite item of 2017.
Jo Malone’s website describes the scent as “The essence of autumn. The sensuous freshness of just-ripe pears is wrapped in a bouquet of white freesias, and mellowed by amber, patchouli and woods. Luscious and golden”
It smells like a dream to me. Its a combination of fresh, fruity and floral ( essentially everything I look for in perfumes/colognes) wrapped into one.
Besides the amazingness of the actual product, I was very pleased with the service. The sales assistant was absolutely lovely.
If you’re in need of a new cologne I’d highly highly recommend Jo Malone’s colognes.
2. Pilot’s Mechanical Pencil + Pens
Daily essentials for me in school. I’m very fussy when it comes to stationery and these were right up my street.
Pilot is one of my all-time favourite stationery brands because of its many product options. Their mechanical pencils are amazing ( very easy and comfortable to use), their super grip pens are smooth and they last a reasonable amount of time too; and their poplol coloured pens are wonderful to use.
If you’re in need of some stationeries, try out Pilot! I’m sure you’ll find something you’ll like.
3. Moleskine Notebook
This was also a gift. I write my diary entries/thoughts here. I think this is one of my favourites because it really helps me de-stress from everything.
It’s comfortable to write in ‘cause I don’t know if its just me, but I somehow find certain notebooks uncomfortable to write in.
This particular notebook has a large writing space, so you really can’t go wrong with it. It has acid free paper too! So your thoughts and words can be preserved forevermore.
Baseline is, I absolute enjoyed writing in this notebook.
4. Marks and Spencer’s Pyjamas

These pyjamas feel like I’m constantly being cocooned with blankets. Unfortunately I couldn’t take any pictures of my jammies because they were unavailable so I resulted to finding pictures of the pyjamas that looked similar to the ones I have.
These pyjamas are the top ranks in my Jammies Department because of how soft and comfy they are, seriously. And guess what? The pyjama bottoms have pockets, they couldn't get better honestly.
Although they’re a little on the pricey side, I think these pyjamas deserve a try.
5. Nylon Shorts
I literally sigh in relief when I come home and change into these. They’re absolutely amazing. I think my mom gave me these and I just... fell in love.
They’re comfortable and cool on the skin.
I can’t tell you enough how many times I look forward to wearing these. Heck, I’m even wearing nylon shorts right now.
6. Comfortable Pants
I’m unsure of the official name of these pants so I’ll just call them Comfy Pants. I’ve basically lived in these. They’re comfortable, fun and they’re fuss free.
These pants are perfect for chill-out days. Whether you’re lounging around the house, grocery shopping or you just want to be comfy.
There are so many patterns and colours to choose from as well. Join the Comfy Pants Club!
7. Nike Free Run RN Flyknit
I got these for myself a few months back. I decided to get these because I wanted to start exercising so I figured these would be a good start.
They’re equipped for running and rightfully so. They’re very comfortable to walk and run in, its unbelievable. I think they’re the most comfortable pair of shoes I currently own.
I think these are a great pair of shoes to have because its kind of universal. You could use these for exercising but also for going out, same same but different and just right.
8. Chocolate Chip Cookies
Choc chip cookies have been my snack saviour for late night studying. They’re gooey and yummy and just perfect.
They’re about as big as a palm so you can space out the amount of cookies without feeling.. cookie-less because of the size.
Paired with a glass of cold milk? Simply scrumptious.
I think I’m gonna get some for myself now.
9. Cadbury’s Hot Chocolate Sachets
I discovered this from my brother, who at that time was obsessed with the sachets. Trusting his judgement, I decided to try one myself and I absolutely loved it ( still do ).
Almost every night, you’d find me clasping my hands around a mug with hot coco doing my school work. I was absolutely hooked with this after my obsession with tea dwindled.
Its straightforward and easy to work with, you just open the sachet and spill the contents into a mug, pour some hot water then stir and ta-da! I usually add a splash of milk in mine for extra creaminess.
If you’re travelling or you just want to drink something that’s easy to work with, this is definitely up your alley.
10. Mugs
I have an unhealthy obsession with mugs. It all started when I got obsessed with tea. Fortunately for me, my local supermarket sold a variety of mugs... and I basically got carried away.
The top right mug is the most recent, gifted to me, its for juice and cold liquids. The one beside it was my first mug purchase and is commonly used for hot chocolate. The one below was a “ why the heck not” purchase from Universal Studios Singapore ( for milk) and on its left was a “ I need this’ purchase used for tea.
See? I’m a mug freak
Jokes aside though, I absolute love mugs. Maybe too much.
11. Rawa Restaurant
< photo taken from Google >
This has been a longtime favourite of mine, but I’ve never really talked about it much. Its a steamboat restaurant situated in Johor Bahru.
This restaurant is a collection of fond memories, I’ve been to this restaurant so many times with my family as I grew up.
Besides my fondness for it, I also adore the food. It has a great variety of food.
When I think of Rawa, I think of fuzzy golden memories and good food.
12. Yamesushi
The most recent discovery. I was travelling and I came across this sushi place. Before that point in time, I wasn’t the hugest fan of sushi. I’d be okay with eating it but it just wouldn’t be my first choice if I was in a Japanese Restaurant.
This changed when I had Yamesushi’s sushi. Holy wasabi, their sushi is good. I haven’t the slightest idea what are the names of the sushi I ate but honestly, I’m sure they’re all good.
Their service is also really good, the staff is very friendly and welcoming.
If you’re in Terminal Bersepadu Selatan and you’re hungry, try some sushi from Yamesushi.
I had so much fun compiling this list and taking pictures of the items I could get ahold of. I hope you try some of these and find them as lovely if not more,like I did.
See you soon ♡
Love,
K

Okay, so, this would be my first actual post, and I am not sure if you can/will relate, but I love my writing/marking supplies.
I mean come on. Yes, we are in the digital age. But who does not love the feel of the ink/graphite on paper? As a writer and director, most of the time I still prefer to actually write on paper than just go digital. There is something surreal when you just look back on what you have written with a pen or pencil.
And so, I have taken the liberty to post some of my favourite writing/marking supplies, and they are as follows (Note: this is not a promotion/sponsored post. I just love these supplies lol):
Photo 1: Pilot Poplol pens (in New Zealand they are called poplol) and Pilot Frixion Pens. All of them, except for one of the Frixions, are 0.7. The other one is 0.5
Photo 2: Zebra Mechanical Pencil, 0.5, Faber-Castell Grip 1347 Mechanical pencil 0.7, Faber-Castell HB, Faber-Castell No. 2, Staedtler Norica No.2, and Palomino Blackwing
Photo 3: Mitsubishi Uni chalk marker, Artline Supreme Permanent Marker, Pilot Super Color Marker (I got the Pilot markers from the Philippines), Sharpie markers and Warwick markers
Photo 4: Faber-Castell Pitt Pastel Pencil, Color No. 1121-225
So, what are your fave writing and marking supplies? Also, do you prefer handwritten, or digital?
