Stationery Market

I am glad I came across Juwapapeterie coz without her, I wouldn't know there was a Stationery community here in Brunei.

I know I went to a few in 2025 but I'm gonna share the first one I went to for 2025.

Ok, first picture. It says Hobby Market 3.0 not 'Stationery'. Inda sama but same vibe, kalau hobby nya stationery, termasuk lah jua dalam market ani coz Stationery related seller also joined this event. Please keep that in mind so that inda terconfuse.

as always, taking a picture coz it will last longer.

Done by Jen. I bought some of this collection. Third time buying from this creator.

my purchases that day

to date, still don't know what to to with these charms LOL masa bali atu, I only thought, "ada tah nanti tu" 🤭

Most times, I ended up buying too much stickers from these events. pasal atu paling affordable ($1 for 10pcs). ahahah mind you, banyak items yang kana jual ani 'beharga'. Handmade are understable lah ahh..and most times I can justify the pricing and bought a few. 

But other times, you know barang yang kana jual atu you also can get from Shein/Temu/Aliexpress and seeing those things kana jual dengan mahalnya membuat kan you wonder, support local or bali sendiri? you know.. I'm only talking about seller yang resale barang yang the bought from somewhere else ni ahh..not handmade seller..

I do still bali from reseller coz I learned from the Pandemic that yeah maybe bali online murah but that would take a while to arrive to you, and if you bali now from this local seller with this price you will get it in your hands right away. 

So that's how my brain goes when supporting locals. Nothing personal. Becoz its our money as a consumer and we have rights to not buy things that are out of our budget or ridiculously priced. that. is. all.

2025 Cover Page Theme

2025 recap number 4

I dont think I was creating many this year too.

and I was right. I only made 2;

January

February

I was really proud of my Feb theme; Baymax x Cookies. best combo ever. too bad i didn't fill in the trackers. coz that would be awesome - kinda like drizzling frosting on the cookies.

We are now in Feb 2026 and I have not created any cover page yet thus far. I wanted to but I guess, I need to clear my head first and to do that I need to clear my entire room. I have cleared a section and I still have 3 sections to go. The progress is a bit slow this time around but I guess, a progress is still a progress.

Besides, I am compensating the monthly cover page theme with posting on my blog again. I am happy with this progress coz I have posted a lot. 

I also started on a new journal this year and I have fill in a few entries. #Progress

One step at a time. I'm doing what I can with the time I had left. No need to rush and cramped everything all in one go. Chill~

hi I'm back!

hii..I'm back!

Back from belayar ahaha I tried to create scheduled posts for that period but I was too busy before belayar atu and only tebuat one for 16th Feb. 

So here we are..

Ovvy today punya is not scheduled but the following one will be.

brief updates:

1. Today is already the 3rd day of puasa.

2. I'm using a new keyboard woohoo..previously I used the one I bought for office.

3. I finally found where I put my Airpod 4 casings. I was looking for it for at least half a day! 

4. Finally turned on and tried this 'gamers' speaker that I won from finishing 20 hours of online training di opis.

Below are pictures I just took especially for this post:

the speaker. very shiny!

the new keyboard.

a new mouse! pulsar x Demon Slayer. It was on sale and I thought it was a good bargain (alasan saja😂) 
I wanted so much to buy cInosuke punya but his was very bulky in my hand.
In the end, I decided on buying Muichiro's one coz 1. the size feels not bulky in my hand, and 2. the color is the closest to match with the color of my keyboard.

and here are some extras:

my office keyboard. Missing a couple of nobs. Baru jua setaun memakai. the number 2 has always been loose. The Down arrow got loose coz I tend to press that instead of scrolling LOL. and the Letter P patah the connector. Heran ku how but I think it happened that one time i just shoved the keyboard instead my laptop bag coz I was in a hurry wawawa
So, I bought new keycaps. coz ada gamabr dongo and its Mitsuri's color 🤭

tada!! cumil kannn..I just wish there were more greens. Still very cute. 
I love the Onigiri as arrows.

Extra-EXTRA: 

PULSAR x DEMONSLAYER main four characters 💖

I mean, Ani lagi ngam with my new keyboard, kan? but as much as I love Inosuke, that fave kenot fly in my house hold 😖 EVENTHOUGH it will be mostly stayed in my room.

What I can conclude from this post? I'm a very non-tech sevvy person to be having such high tech things 🤣🤣 YES including the mouse. Apparently its a gamer mouse too and I only wanted to have one becoz of Demon Slayer. #consumerism 

Ok, that is it for now. see you on the next post for the continuation of 2025 recaps. bye

Skullpanda x My Little Pony

and every time I said 'My Little Pony', I sang-a-song in my head 'I'm a little teapot, short and snout' 

cue movie Robots, scene cFender cari something lam tong sampah 😆

Ok, i rewatch the scene via Google. Fender was not looking for something, he was actually unscrewing cRodney punya kaki 🤣

anyhoo,

not 2025 recap.

This happened on 6th Feb 2026, when Popmart BN released the Skullpanda x My Little Pony. 

I seldom sibuk2 kan bali new releases on the day itself and kalau kira kan, I wasn't really a fan of Little Pony

BUTT

I had these two that I bought masa zaman2 pandemic. Bought them becoz, satu had a witch hat and deck cards, and the other one ada bilun. I just thought they look cute!

and I thought, it'd be nice if I could get the plush pendant atu, Pony version of them.

This thinking happened on the 5th Feb pasal my colleague was mentioning that her mom probably will join the Queue to buy the blind boxes on the 6th Feb.

I slept on it.

and on actually day, I did ended up joining / bekirim with my colleague's mom.

We did unboxing together andddd

It was secret 1!

What luck!🍀 and I was like, I wondered what secret 2 is. biasa, dapat sudah, masih lagi mncari yang alum dapat atu hmm hahah

I thought, I will check if this plush character ada similar dengan what I already had.

It was until the next day that I found out YES, sama!

I had to use Google to confirm and yes, confirm; the plush and the human version are the same!

Macam I is speechless. What luck banar! I bought it on impulse, not knowing if it'll be the same but if it did, then it'll be nice to gambar side by side. very terImpress ku kadang2 😝 and inda sia2 lah aku jump the trend atu. 🤣

Anyway, this is a sneak peak at how severe my spending on Popmart is just in Feb 2026 alone. Pray for my wallet.

OK, will be back to regular (recap) programme tomorrow.

Bye.

Nasi Katok mayhem! 🍗🍚

2025 recap no. 3

and I realized this was actually pretty recent; happened in November 2025.

My two friends had already experienced "miscommunication" at this eatery before I joined them that one day. 

So, knowing that, I tried communicate better - of what I wanted to order. 

Nasi katok satu but with 2 ayam. 

For nasi katok buyer and my believe, to nasi katok seller as well, this was a pretty common orders. Some people suka nasi nya satu and with dua ayam inside.

When the waiter returned to the kitchen, I thought, everything is ok now.

Then when the food arrived at our table, we just, what?

whats more funny is I didn't want to return them and make a hassle. 

So what did I do?

I finished them.

I mean, like it's hard? 😴😴😴

In conclusion, we didn't go back to that kadai after that. 😂
