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.

BuJo Theme thus far

This should have been posted monthly.

but here we are. 

November.

this was inspired by the kdrama, Start-Up.

December.

this theme, as a whole, was inspired/recreation of AmandaRachLee's December PWM, and the Mood Tracker was inspired by Danosbujo, also his December Enola Holmes theme.

and latest, 

2021.

again, inspired/recreation of AmandaRachLee 2021 set up. I love the pastels.💙💚💛💜💗

and until there only. I haven't been bothered to do the January theme. I know which theme I want to recreate. I just don't have the will to do it. 🤷🤷

also, I started a new IG account to cater to my bujo posts and of all my stationery addiction related things. 😆😆😆

but I'm a little bit overwhelmed with life at the moment, whats with my trouble with transferring videos from my camera to my iPhone for editing. I ended up taking an indefinite break. 💆

as you can see I am posting again. Slowly but surely.

KL Trip Half Day Awesomeness

before I proceed with this post, 
an amendment: I just remembered I met with Bazilah and her nephews a few hours on Saturday, 9th Dec, later afternoon. hee terlupa.


moving on .. or moving back to the afternoon of Friday, 8th Dec.

Met up with Bazilah and her nephews.

Bazilah wanted to bring the boys to Bukit Bintang to purchase some game equipments.

I suggested we use the MRT.

We stopped by McD for drinks.

pastu we go to the famous electronics mall. erm..called Low Yat Plaza.

image not mine. got it off Google.

it was my second time being there. last time, untuk melintas kan ke Berjaya Time Square saja. LOL

it was pretty big for electronic products. everyone kept on "cari apa, Kak?" "Tengok lah dulu" to which I only replied with a smile. coz I was just looking around, Bazilah and nephews were the one looking for something. I join je~


After that, we went to Berjaya Time Square!

Bazilah wanted to show her nephews the indoor theme park.

My second time here and no, we didn't enter the theme park, again.

So, we eat at Sushi King instead.

SO YUM!


Next to the restaurant is an archery range.

So that's what we do afterwars, play there.

ada pose jadi tah. 

my target.
this would be my second time playing. but the first time was like 7 years ago?
so patting my own back for effort.

Zawir said he wanted to test my skill di Miri. hashtag BringItOnBruh

After acrhery, kami stopped by McD again and bought dinner.

The scenery from Majid Jamek Station. 

I think this masjid is called Masjid Jamek hence the name of the station. 

anyway, once di hotel, they melepak a while in my room, since i have such spacious room. i think at about 11 kali, they went back to their own rooms coz they had an early day on 9th Dec, while I'll be on my own going to KLCC.

So, I set out at around 10:30am, Saturday, 9th Dec but due to my clumsiness and bangang-ness with the train route, I ended up arriving at KLCC at around 12pm kali.

i didn't take many pictures there.

I shopped at Kinokuniya mostly. coz my sister bekirim buku baby.

I even shopped at Cotton On Kids. my sister bekirim jumper.

I shopped at Muji before that. bought some staff. seriously, inda banyak. LOL

the rest, I spent walking around KLCC and when my legs finally can not take it, I had lunch di Wendy's.

it was ok. 

once I finished, I finally balik semula ke hotel to rest.

I remember thinking, "faktor umur" coz my legs were so painfullllllll.

at around 2:30pm, I was back di hotel and slept until 3:55pm. woke up when Bazilah texted me to go jalan2 with the nephews. Planned to go to this famos Plaza in Masjid India area, called SOGO. I remember going there as a kid.

Image not mine, got it off Google

I'm afraid no picture too. 

I know we ate at Texas Chicken and walked around, browsing the kadai.

I don't think we buy anything there.

at around 6pm we already on the way balik hotel.

at around 9pm, I walked on my own down at the Bazaar. 
right out side our hotel was a Bazaar, but I realized they mostly sell clothes and accessories.

Image not mine. got it off Google.

I was actually looking for food. So, jauh lah jua jalan ku. way passed this sheltered area.

there are a lot of food stall the further I go. but I don't feel like eating mee goreng, cucur pisang, etc.

I only bali 3 items; air kelapa, Sotong King goreng, and Lekor goreng.

too bad nada gambar. :P

again, I apologize for the lack of picture. :P


It was a little scary at first walking on my own but after a while, I saw a couple of single ladies walking around buying food jua, so I relaxed a little.

Once i feel like I was so far off, I turned back around, back to my hotel, to feast. muahahaha

I think what I love most about this trip is that I spent so much time berelek and eating. LOVE IT.

The most relaxing travel I ever did. walaupun kaki rasa kan pulak, it was an awesome weekend for me.

as mentioned in the previous post, since drg ada MRT sudah, I might go there next time as a solo traveler. ;)

FlatLays

Hello friends,
Welcome.

Last week I posted a hint for today's post.

FlatLays.

and boy, let me tell you; not. an. easy. task.

Applause to those studygram people who dedicated their IG doing these flat lays.

coz, this would be my first and only time.

LOL 

the reason why I titled this post Flat Lays was because, I wanted to share with you the things I bought during my solo trip to Singapore. it wasn't much but I think it's enough to share them in this post.

and also, coz Jessica asked for it. ≧◡≦

As you all know, I'm obsess with stationery. be it Pens, journals, note pads, markers, you name it, I gotta have them all (No, not really. I wanted them all but of course I can't have them all. ingat money tumbuh on trees?!)

So, here are the things I bought:

Not so many, right?

I thought I would find some more too.

I guess, I was still full of anxiety at that time since it was only my first solo trip. Thus, because of my anxiety, I chose not to go to the places that I had list down. ┐(‘～`；)┌

anyway, 

here's a little extra:

did I ever mention that I LOVE phone cases? 

it's one of my current delima; can't buy new phone coz I have too many phone cases for my current phone. (~￣▽￣)~

So, there you go, my stationery purchased from my Singapore Trip. 


For next post, I'm gona share with you the rest of my pen collection and others.


anticipate that and I will see you then.


ciao~

Unboxing Day

Ssuuupppp!

I collected my SHINee's Season's Greetings Calendar set yesterday from our local kpop dealer (mcm drug dealer hahaha), Yeszone. and the box is hugggeeeee!! like, equals to two F4 sizes.

In the beginning, when Yeszone announced that they open pre-orders for the SM's artists season's greetings, I wasn't excited about getting one coz I already missed 2016 punya version (I bought 2014 & 2015 previously).
But last minute and impulsive moment, I pre-ordered mine.
kehkehkeh
Glad that I did, coz, you know, SHINee. Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ

Let's get to the unboxing

First thing you saw when you open the lid. 

(front)

don't they look fuzzy and cuddly?

(back)

this box comes with a Table calendar, Wall calendar (pictured above), Diary, Mini calendar and a mini Stand board. I think worth the price of BND70.

1. Wall Calendar. (New Features)
comes with the 'hanger' (lupa ambil gmbr)

surprised that the copies are loose (not stapled together in the middle)

double as a poster

and I went, "Oh! patut loose. double as a poster panya"

ada some English infos (walaupun a few lines saja English nya o(╥﹏╥)o ) on the members which is always nice to see.

2. Table Calendar

Love the fact that January started off with leader Onew. <3 font="">

(●´ω｀●)

quite similar to the previous calendar I got; the entire page mostly covered with their photos and the dates are in smaller fonts. in all honesty, I hardly ever refer to this calendar to check the dates or such. *gelak*

3. Diary.

this one is similar to 2015 one. hard cover, book-like diary
2014 punya is ring binding.
2014 and 2017 have similar fine line inside. 

easier for me to turn it into normal one-lined journal (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ

4. Mini calendar 

basically a postcard photo collection. 2015 pun have similar like this one. \m/(>.<)\m/


5. Mini board stand (New features)

I got Minho. I, of course, would have love it more if aku dapat cOnew's.

You noticed how the photos are repetitive. similar to the previous released. at least from the 2014 & 2015 lah ah. I can't say about 2016 coz I missed that one.

Let me list down items from different years' box
2014 - Diary, Table calendar, and DVD (features the making of)
2015 - Diary, Table calendar, DVD (features the making of), and Mini calendar
2017 - Diary, Table calendar, Wall calendar, Mini calendar, and mini board Stand.

Lupa ku dulu berapa harganya but I'm sure it was cheaper than 2017 punya.

*shrug*

and with that little info, ends my unboxing post.

Hope you enjoy this entry.

I see you on the next post.

Have a great week ahead.

Work resume tomorrow for me, 3rd of Jan 2016. 

excited.
