Time to reflect.

Well, I've been living the past 6 months in a blurry mess. It has been a messy, work-filled, frivolous and hectic 6 months. Naturally, I'd like to sit down for a moment and reflect on what I've. At the same time sharing this awesome post (which should have been in my written journal instead of here) with my readers (if any). Hey people reading, if you all find this blog interesting in any way, please do me a favor and follow my blog so I know if anyone actually reads this!  I am trying to reach out to more readers, so please help will y'all? Pretty please? Of course, if there is anything you all want me to blog about or if there is any suggestions, please feel free to send me a message via twitter and e-mail (I don't have a google+) and I'll work on your suggestions/ CONSTRUCTIVE criticisms. Every writer/blogger needs a helping hand so I hope anyone who reads this can help!

Okay, so after sounding like a desperate little 17 year-old wimp, I'll officially start this post.

I've learnt a few things, mainly public speaking and communication skills. That's because I worked as a product promoter and events helper for a short period of time. It may be insignificant to people, but I'm proud of myself. It's the little things in life's journey, the little achievements that make people recollect, recount and be truly happy. Even if it's just speech skills, it makes a huge difference. Seeing that the course I'm enrolled in requires strong command of language, speech, and writing skills.

I have also learnt to withstand hours and hours of non-stop yakking when it comes to persuading customers, no sitting down allowed. Not that the boss prohibited it, just that the event organizer wasn't kind enough to provide us with chairs. Thus comes endurance. I've done pretty well I guess. It has also come to my attention the plight of the people distributing fliers, so I'm more appreciative of these people because I've been one too. Trust me, it does not feel nice to be ignored or turned down. Singaporeans do that in most rude and obnoxious ways, I might add.

That pretty much sums up my work experience. Oh wait, yes, I've gotten fatter. Now it's complete.

Splurges.

I've been spending a lot recently. However, they're are not impulse buys at all. After earning my first dollar, I've realised the importance of saving and planning. I've become more 'Price-conscious' when I'm out shopping. I've started this new unbreakable habit of doing countless research on certain product(s) and thinking of ways to stretch my dollar before I head out with friends to shop, bringing only enough for what I've planned to spend on so that I allow no extra frivolities. Pretty neat huh, seeing that I have always been a person to buy what I see immediately, regardless of whether the size is right (particularly so when it comes to shoes).

It has therefore come to my attention that my planned purchases are items that range in the 'Mid-tier' to 'High-end' spectrum. Whether it has something to do with my preference or just the fact that I am now 17 and more self-conscious, I do not know. I only know I have to restrain myself in the future. Take, for example, my previous post where I announced my purchase of the Urban Decay Naked Palette. It was, without a doubt, a planned purchase and something that I've been eyeing for a long time, but if it was just 6 months back, I would cringe at the thought of buying so insanely expensive (SGD80, available at Sephora Singapore, if it isn't OOS, which only happens once in a blue moon).

BOTTOM LINE. I've changed a whole lot. (grown uglier :P) I guess I'm more considerate now? I'm able to understand my parents thinking more now instead of just violently and blindly rebelling when I was younger (amount of broken glass wares = uncountable). It's just frustrating that they're so over protective of me just because I'm a girl. :@

I'm beginning to enjoy life more and more I guess. Learn how to accept people for who they are (doesn't mean I HAVE to like them, just have to leave them alone) and dare I say, I think I've become someone who can judge a person's character more accurately (It has always been a desire for me to be more like my mom in the sense where she is able to tell how someone is like accurately by just communicating with them for a little while). I'M SO HYPED. :D

Oh and B T Dubs, I love my future poly coursemates. A huge shoutout to them here, if they even read my pathetic excuse of a blog!

Ciao, be ever so fabulous! ;)
