New year, new start!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

Kinda late but better than never right? I remember i use to have my "new year" post together with Lunar New Year or sometimes setting resolutions on Lunar New Year because I'm a month late... Heh..

But hey! I've gotten some improvements hor!

Alright!! 2016 will be a new start and everything reset and not the same accept for my features and my same old lovely family, which precisely will not be changed lah!

Really looking forward to my new life! But first, late also must set resolutions to kick off the amazing 2016 ahead!!

All this were already plan and set at the end of 2015 but just didn't manage to have a proper 1 to 1 with my laptop and type it out... So here it is:

1. LOSE WEIGHT!!

I hope this is the last time it will appear on my new year resolution list.. Its too permanent for the past 27 years and I finally achieved it last year.. And this year is the "leftover" 8 to 10kg extra to reach my ideal weight!

Target date: by March

2. DOUBLE UP MY INCOME!!

Who don't want to have more money leh? Especially in Singapore where everything is expensive and costly... To survive in our country we definitely need lots of it!!

Target date: by June... But then again I want it double of what i get in June by end of the year.. So... Ongoing..

3. NO TAXI EVER AGAIN!!

I have this really bad habit of 慢慢摸 (dilly dally) in almost everything i do.. And it always result me in being late or running out of time! So I really wanna wash clean this bad habit for the benefits of things!! For example, no need to cab so frequently resulting in overspending... Or getting more things done quickly and more efficiently!

Target date: IMMEDIATE

4. BEFORE 12AM and BY 6AM

Sometime in last year June i finally manage to sleep by 12am and wake up to work out at 6am and i realised, I have lots of time and the feeling was so good especially i can focus more!

But somehow coming to the end of last year i had very bad insomnia at night! Either i slept by 12am due to tirness, i will wake up wide awake suddenly at 2 or 3am and i can't sleep anymore..

So i wanted this lifestyle back again!

Target date: on the way.. By February

5. BLOGGING &.......... VLOGGING!!

Yea! If you noticed, I've been trying to update as frequently as possible and I really want to keep it going like how i use to do it!! And adding to it, my vlogs as well as my dance classes~

Random update post!!

Hello lovelies!!

Today I'm going to do an update for all the happenings during this few months of hiatus.. Hmmm... Well not really hiatus but just decide to stay out of the social media scene... =D
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Well, there are lots of changes in my life for the mere 5 to 6 months i would say.. Be it in relationships, work, lifestyle and even my character!! Yep!! Even character changes! Please don't be surprize! So this post is not going to bore you with long grandma story, but just a brief summaries to avoid question marks and surprises! And the hassle to explain every single time.. Because I'm already enjoying every single moments now and then! =)

Hmmmmm... Which should I start off with?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

1. WORK!!!

Alright, I decided to start off with work because no doubt it's my number 1 priority now! In this case, it's classified as my career now! WHY? My background is a designer, I used to do graphic design, furniture design as well as interior design. And I graduated with a diploma in industrial design.

But.......

Now, I'm a personal weight management coach! I help people to lose weight, gain weight as well as get healthy! Also supporting my career, I'm a certified Zumba instructor! It's like WHAT?!?!? Why such a big change? Hmmm...

I can only say I still love designing and I do take in freelance jobs still but the satisfaction from my customers and VIPs changes and results is irreplaceable. It's so magical!! From their joy and happiness to their challenges and problems were the drive to keep me going and pushes me to help them achieve their goals and reach out to more people who I didn't help! Because everyone deserve to live a better and healthier life! Every single one.....

Most Importantly, ever since I'm seriously building my business, my days were majority happy and positive! Isn't that the minimal thing we need to achieve in life?

And how one can get so much love and care from my mentors and even from my daddy while being first time on stage sharing my story?!

2. RELATIONSHIP!!!

Well this is the most asked question for the past few months and I must really really be grateful to my parents, my sister and also my 2 awesome coaches who been standing by my side from day 1 supporting me and pulling me up again... =)

So the story is.... the 7 years of relationship ended and the wedding was called off because of a betrayal. There are lots of questions .... why end? can't resolve? no way? 

So the answer is.. why ask me? A relationship takes 2 hands to clap, if 1 hand stopped, there will be no sound from the clapping.. And the last thing I can forgive is betrayal. Because, it have been happening to me for all my relationships.. OK, can call me sway lah... but yea... that's it.. and nope I don't hate guys and I atill prefer bananas... LOL !!

And lastly, before I end this part, I'm thankful an "angel" appeared to support me and accompanied me through this shit especially my super extreme thoughts and insecurities. Someone as weird as me... haha.. We have too much in common that sometimes, we scared ourselves too... =P My best buddy, companion, Personal Assistant, Accountant, Financial Planner, Fitness mentor , my boyfriend......

Well, a rotten tree doesn't meant the forest is rotten and so I restarted again with a different mindset... So, please remember the face ar.. its a different person now. Thank you very much!! LOL!!!

And this:

is not what you think it is.. haha...

3. CHARACTERS!!!

Well, I din't really notice it myself previously until recently... I used to be a 水扁啦 kind of person.. meaning anything also can, no goals and just want to pass-by like an average girl. And I really felt a waste of my life previously... LOL, but its ok, I'm enjoying every bits now!!

I've been setting goals and living to achieve my dreams and goals. My thoughts were different too and this is when I felt I'm living a life to the fullest!! there must be a purpose why we are here. Right? if not, whats the point of living if we have no direction in our lives? Who will be responsible to our one and only life? Only ourselves. If we don't do any change, there will be no change in our life..

So dare to dream and dare to achieve them!

Well, this part I can't really explain but perhaps stay with me more often and you will discover it! Hahaha...=]

4. SIZE!!!

HA... its not a new thing... But I've been trying to lose my weight for my entire life and it was my yearly resolution that never ever do it until this year! I finally lost quite a bit of weight from 93kg to now a 68kg and finally reshaped from a XXXL to a size M!

So it's not an end yet, I'm going for my second round of transformation so... please encourage and motivate me too!! It just another 10kg and I want to achieve it by March!! Lets do it together!!!

.
.

So I guess its about there? Part 3 and 4 is a change that is still happening so I'm not too sure how well it can be written unless you start to follow me now and get all the updates frequently over here as well as over at my other social media! =D like my Instagram, twitter, Facebook as well as YouTube!!

With this, I shall end this random post and stay tuned for my next post!

With lots and lots and lots of love,
Akemi

I love being a Blogger!!!

so.....

WHY I LOVE BEING A BLOGGER????

I love being a blogger simply because...

I LOVE TO SHARE!!

SHARING IS CARING!! RIGHT?

And it all started when I'm 16 years old... OMFG!!! That's like freaking 10 YEARS AGO!!! and this is my first blog url:

http://chocozzz.blogspot.sg

HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

Cann0t stand h0w I can bl0g ab0ut anything in th3 w0rld b3 it just a f3w s3nt3nc3s with thish kind 0f w0rdings w0rx~ r3ally cann0t stand it 0h!

LOL... And the above blog was actually a cleared and re-opened blog after my broke up with a ex-boyfriend. Where my blog post can be so EMO , ANGRY and also........ BORING!!! But then again, that's when I found light and realized , LOOK~

PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY READING MY "ANGER VENTING MACHINE" BLOG?!?!?!

So I thought, why not share some happy stuff rather than angry stuff where it will eventually make my readers leave my blog site HAPPY!!!

And that's where my current blog became to~ All thanks to my beloved readers whom accompanied me back then when I'm still a young innocent kid!!!

Through blogging, I get to share with my readers, friends and families bits and pieces of things I've learnt or experienced! Isn't it a good thing? I sacrificed and be a guinea pig first eh.


And here are top 5 things I love to share with my readers and be happy:

1) RANDOM DIY TUTORIALS!!
I love to Do-It Yourself!!! LOL.. and probably because due to my special sizing needs, I'm prone to DIY when it comes to costume for my dance performance!! While I'm stressed rushing to finish my DIYed costumes, why not share with my reader?!?!!

READ IT HERE

It's a stone kill two birds thing!! Get my costume done as well as to share it on my blog. And who knows, this random action became the TOP READS on my humble little space!!! Wheeee~


2) BEAUTY WORKSHOP EVENT
To be very honest, I'm not really good with facial stuff and wouldn't call myself a beauty blogger. BUT, I'm vain and pretty lucky to be invited and gain exposure to beauty workshops through you know what? BLOGGING!!!

READ IT HERE

Not only I benefited with the workshop invite, my readers benefited too! Because I will then share it with them! Swee oh~


3) GIVEAWAYS!!!
Who don't like free stuff?? Well, I love it~ Being a blogger, we receive perks from sponsors or advertisers and sometimes it might be too much for me to use. After all, I have only 1 face to pamper and it will just gone to waste if I did not finish using before it expires!

READ IT HERE

As a habit, I will share it with my readers because good things are meant to be shared!! And I want my readers to benefit too!!


4) FOOD REVIEWS
Sometimes people always say bloggers are like beggars. Cause they attend events like food tasting events and get to eat FREE stuff. Well, I DEFINITELY DO NOT AGREE!!! Bloggers are more like guinea pigs, just a more fortunate one~ Because they do not just eat, but have to review at the same time too~

READ IT HERE

And then we will shortlist and share with our readers the best dish we had, so readers can just make order according to what we suggested! Isn't it more like guinea pigs as compared to beggars?


5) EVENTS AND COMPETITION
For me, I'm not a pretty blogger who is able gets fame easily through looks. I meant, come on, who don't like to look at pretty stuff? So , I have to go through another way of getting more fame!!! Which I realized it's the highest level of sharing through blogging~ ITS TO LET GO AND SHARE MY HAPPINESS AND JOY TO EVERYONE!!!

READ IT HERE

And I took a step forward and took part in #CNOS3 !!! For the last challenge, I went all out and struts the red carpet with joy and happiness!! Cause I know, from there, people will be happy and have fun !! What do you think?

Hello 2014!!!

FINALLY, finally, finally, I've got the time to pen this down though I'm 10 days late.  BUT late better than nothing right?
.
.
.
.
.
.

2013 had been a tough and happy ride for me... Sometimes hurtful and sad , sometimes thankful and happy.

So here's the list to summarize my 2013:

* Doubled my shopping trip to Bangkok... 

* More sponsored posts...
* Returned of my bff that we haven't met for 3 years...
* Sudden lost of job like a drama, but got a better prospect one...
* finally a spine checked and horrified to realised how badly damaged it was...
* which later leads me to go through the intensive back treatment where I have to give up dance *hopefully just for the time being*
* hear praises on my dance improvements...
* saw Lee Min Ho live even though for just less than 5 mins...
* re-designed my parents kitchen and vanities...
* seen fireworks right in my face...

Well... I did not accomplish any of the goals I set last year~ pretty sad.. But I hope this year will be a better year!!!

No more silly mistakes: 

More more more nail art tutorials: 

More more more sponsorships: 

Start and post all my food tours: 

Share my travelogues diligently!: 

Get KIMMIES.CO running wildly *wink**wink*: 

Lastly, peace and love in my family like always...  ♥

Ending my post like how I ended my year with beautiful fireworks..

*though it wasn't taken on the last day of 2013*

Pardon my screaming at the end.. LOL!!! Because its really damn near, exactly the distant like the video as I DID NOT ZOOM IN AT ALL!!!

GOOD LUCK!
Akemi

My 2013 resolutions...

I am really busy and had been traveling/away almost every weekends since the start of 2013. Of course it's not an excuse to leave this space quiet. Therefore, I'm really beginning to love 2013, as all the good things finally came to me!! And I must say I'm living to my fullest!!

However, for the first blog post of the year, I shall do an "opening" post with all the resolution shiat~HAH..

I know it's kinda late since February is just around the corner. But who cares?? Late is better than none! LOL.. most importantly,these are what I thought *erhem..* deeply *erhem..* in the past few days of 2013! And it always starts with:

"This year I must...

(1) SLIM DOWN!!!

I know I've been saying this for the past donkey years,but this year I REALLY WANNA FULFILL IT!! If not, I do not know. When I can get married ~ =| * I said I will only get married after I've slimmed down. After all it's once a life time thing and I wanna of course look pretty!! *

(2) Learn the art of saving money DILIGENTLY!!!
I see myself overspending almost every month last year and it had been choking me much. Hopefully with a better job now, I can live comfortably ($$ wise) every month.

(3) Learn Korean language...
I've always wanting to learn this language ever since I'm 18??!?! When I'm crazy over 비 then. LOL. But I truly love this language until now, and hopefully I can learn it by this year and able to watch all my Korean drama without the subs. BUT, it only can happen if I fulfilled my point #2 resolution above. =/ 

(4) Travel to more countries...
I love exploring new and different things! If time permits and my point #2 resolution fulfilled, I wish I could travel to countries I've yet been to!

* Slowly, I have been travelling since Jan , and I realized its not only about exploring but also about capturing the beautiful structures of the building and pictures which Singapore don't have.*

(5) Buy a good camera!!
Ever since my camera spoil early last year, I've been living without camera for the longest time!  All this while, I'm using my S3 for everything! camera, videos for my nail tutorial. But a phone is still a phone, it can't work like a camera that I wanted it to be. Hopefully I'm able to invest in one good and proper camera for all the pictures and nail tutorials!

Similarly and sadly, It is also linked to my point #2 resolution. 


Of course there are many more hopes for the year to be listed. But the above 5 are still my major ones and I really want to aim and get it!! But it seems like If I fulfilled my #2 resolution, The remaining resolutions don't seems to be a trouble anymore~ Haha..

May all my powers unite and make these happen!!

With love,
Akemi
