Welcome to the Neverland
又过了一年啦~ 虽然很陈腔滥调，但我还是忍不住要说一句，时间怎么过得那么快啊？20岁过后的时间以惊人的速度流逝，日子总是过得电光石火，大家都有这样的感觉吗？对我来说，2021年是个意义非凡的一年，有很多人生的milestones呢！ 花了些时间细细回顾2021的大小事，哇这一年已经无法用充实两个字来形容了，我简直是争分夺秒地在过日子啊！
2021的上半年，我都在为新家奔波。人生的第一间房子嘛，每个小细节都想做得最好，更何况本人是严重强迫症患者，有很多莫名奇妙的执着（泪），所以整个过程真的很耗费心力。光是挑选家具和电器就已经占据了我大部分的时间。每个周末都往家具店和电器店钻，三天两头就到Jurong East、Tampines和Alexandra的IKEA报到，我现在对IKEA的货品陈列可说是了如指掌了呢！有时候我还真讨厌我那一丝不苟的性格，干嘛每个细节都那么讲究啊~ 话说回来，我为了新家砸了好多钱！什么都得买买买，而且我到现在居然还在买，家里的东西怎么永远都买不齐啊！

It was one fine day in my university hostel room. I was working on a plant design project for formaldehyde production together with my team members. 4:45am in the morning and we were cracking our brain to optimize the process – a 500m cooling tower was just ridiculous, it will break the Guinness World Records, we laughed. Something must be wrong with the mass balance, probably a misplacement of decimal point somewhere.
Ling said she can’t concentrate on this anymore and asked if I can make her some coffee, she forgot that I have caffeine intolerance so there won’t be any coffee at my place. “Let’s get some fresh air”, I suggested. I was famished after staying up all night and needed a sugar fix, plus my vision started to get blurry after staring at the monitor for such long hours. The idea of taking a break from the plant design woke everyone up, including Mei who was zoning out since 3am. We walked through the long corridor in silence and I suddenly realized that I forgot the car key. “I must be too exhausted”, I murmured to myself. The girls went ahead to take the lift and I headed back to my room to get the key.
我实在是好久好久没在这写些什么了
今天有位小可爱同事离职了
我一如既往
在小本子上写下他的名字
他，是本子上的第27的名字
看着这些曾经天天和我一起工作、一起吃午餐的名字
不禁惆怅
说不上形影不离
但感情的确要好
我忍不住翻开相册
回顾我们曾一起经历的大小事
As travel starts to rebound, Shopee is now offering hotel bookings in partnership with global digital travel platforms Agoda and Booking.com. Through this exclusive partnership, Shopee users will now be able to access one of the largest online inventories of hotels, resorts, homes and apartments supplied by Agoda and Booking.com.
This new service offering is timely in meeting the needs of consumers, as domestic travel re-opens in Malaysia, and more people are planning holidays amid the year-end seasons. Agoda’s search data1 in September revealed that searches for domestic stays have risen by over 57% compared to May this year. There has also been an increase of 37% more users in Southeast Asia searching for international destinations. Users can enjoy greater savings and exclusive travel deals by booking directly on Shopee. This partnership will also help to increase the reach and visibility of hotel partners to boost domestic and international tourism.
According to an online survey conducted by Shopee and Kantar, it is found that consumers across the region use e-wallets about 2 to 6 times a week. In Malaysia, over 75% of users use e-wallets for all their online shopping needs.
As consumers and businesses continue to become more digital-first and are embracing digital payments for greater convenience, security and value, ShopeePay strives to support this move through various efforts. This includes offering big savings and upsized rewards during Shopee’s largest shopping festival, the 11.11 Big Sale.
This 11.11 Big Sale, users can look forward to a rewarding and integrated payment experience through unbeatable deals, and exclusive promotions both online and offline when using ShopeePay. This includes a chance to receive up to 11,111 Shopee Coins daily when users top up their mobile wallets with a minimum of RM30.
我一直做得不够好的
就是对自己好一点这件事
我总是对自己苛刻 想要在有限的时间里多做一些
其实 休息一下也没关系的
耍废一下 也可以的
Why are we so hard on ourselves?
Be kinder, gentler and more generous to yourself :)
It's fine to spend time doing little things that spark joy
And it's perfectly alright to laze around and not doing anything
I have to keep reminding myself that it is not a crime to take a rest...
Love,

Shopee revealed that it has prioritised its frontliners from its logistics arm, Shopee Express, as well as teams working in the warehouses as they face the highest risk and have the most potential interaction with shoppers.
The coronavirus pandemic is far from over, and face mask has become our daily essential. Whether you like it or not, we have to wear a face mask whenever we go out. With face mask blocking half of the face, our hair plays an unprecedentedly important role in making us to look beautiful. Therefore, I started to pay more attention to my hair to ensure that it looks fresh and healthy all the time. In this post, I will talk about hair care products from NINELESS, which I absolutely adore after using them for 3 weeks!

| NINELESS Hair Care Review |
This is my first try on NINELESS products and I wonder why didn't I try them out earlier. I have not seen any NINELESS products in Singapore and at time like this, I am extra grateful that we can have access to different Korean brands via Style Korean. Authentic K-beauty products at affordable price and reliable shipping, that's what I love the most about Style Korean!

Coming back to NINELESS hair care products, I have tested 3 products: Magic Nine Perlite Scalp Scrub Shampoo, Daily Intense Nourishing Hair Essence and Magic Rich Hair Volume Balm.
Lotuss Stores (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (Lotus’s Malaysia), formerly known as Tesco Malaysia, expands its contactless payment ecosystem to now accept ShopeePay. This is in response to the 25 per cent year-on-year increase in cashless payments recorded amongst its shoppers.
“The Covid-19 pandemic and coupled with the convenience, security, and support from the government, have influenced the adoption of cashless payments in Malaysia. Given the growing reliance on e-wallets, we need to ensure that all available options are accessible to our shoppers,” said Vivian Yap, Customer Executive Director of Lotus’s Malaysia.
“With ShopeePay’s rising popularity as seen from the market’s reaction during the rollout of eBelia, we trust that this partnership will add value to both Lotus’s shoppers as well as ShopeePay users.

我們家消耗最快的護膚品非去角質產品莫屬！不管我如何囤貨，去角質凝露總是莫名其妙地消失，很快地就被大家用完。我家人超愛去角質的，我們都很喜歡去角質過後臉部清爽、滑不溜丟的感覺。而且皮膚在去了角質後能夠更容易地吸收保養品，所以定期為皮膚去除死皮是非常重要的護膚步驟。最近我們都在用DERMA QII 去角質美顏精華凝露，250g的大瓶裝應該能讓我們用很久了！

With the country under lockdown and many are consigned to work from home, filling up the petrol tank might not be high on the list of priorities for many Malaysians at the moment.
However, those on the frontlines making food and parcel deliveries, as well as the police, health and lab officers going to and fro as they trace, track and test others during this pandemic are in dire need of a way to keep costs low.
With eateries not allowing dine-ins, petrol stations not only function as a spot to fill up the tank, but have also become spots to fill up on food or drink as you take a short rest from the ongoing hassle.
For this, ShopeePay has offers you can’t resist through our “Deals Near Me”, an online-to-offline (O2O) feature that uses location-based services to help users discover ShopeePay Vouchers offered by nearby merchants - in this case, petrol stations and stores attached to them.
Users can easily purchase vouchers through the Shopee app, and redeem them immediately at participating outlets to enjoy attractive cashback when they pay with ShopeePay.
Caltex
Caltex is offering RM4 cashback for a minimum spend of RM10 when you fill up your tanks at any of their 423 petrol stations across Peninsular Malaysia. So whether you’re in downtown Kuala Lumpur or even in Kampung Alor Lintang, Terengganu, buy a ShopeePay Voucher for as low as 1 sen to claim this deal.

This exclusive collaboration between Sungei Wang Plaza and Shopee is a part of the mall’s immediate stimulus plan which aims to accelerate digitalisation and demonstrate the advantages of online and offline sales to boost retailer’s confidence in adapting alternate ways for business growth.
“We are glad to join forces with Shopee in providing our retailers additional opportunities to interact with customers digitally, driving footfall to their stores in our mall through digital marketing as well as provide greater accessibility to our customers. Shoppers these days prefer things at ease and that is what we want to deliver,” said Joseph Teo, Centre Manager of Sungei Wang Plaza.
Malaysians are once again thronging malls to get their fix of retail therapy, relaxation and entertainment after prolonged stay-at-home measures to curb the spread of Covid-19.

Anti-aging is a life-long battle, and I have been trying every way to win it! I have been using all types of anti-aging skin care products diligently since I was 24, and I believe that all these products do make contribution in slowing down the ageing process. I tried out Greenvines Antioxidant Serum recently (got it from HaWooo.com again!) and would really love to recommend it to people with dry/combination skin type, it's super hydrating, I absolutely love it!

I'm well known for having long shower, I kid you not that I could actually spend 40 min in the bathroom, just for shower! To me, a good hot shower is the best way to rejuvenate myself, both physically and mentally. After a long day at work, all I want to do is to cover myself in rich, dense and fragrant bubbles, shower time is just so therapeutic to me! I take my shower routine seriously and I only use shower gel of top notch quality, with Dettol being one of my favourite brand over the years.

2020年终于结束了！拜新冠病毒所赐，2020年过得诡异又不真实，除了奇怪还是奇怪。我在这一年内所安排的大小计划，全都没办法进行。而在新加坡工作的我，也已经足足10个月没回家了😢 让我们快速地回顾2020，记录一下这独特的一年：
