21/9/15 | Trust me, I am an Engineer... who crochets
 |
| Finally I have done it. |

Yes, I have had my ukulele for a few years now and it has always been kept inside the original box that came with it, which is actually a not very nice one. My uke was a birthday gift from my boyfriend for my 20th birthday (year 2012). I have always wanted to buy a case for him (him as in my ukulele), but always failed to do so because 1) the cases that I found are usually ugly, like the simple black flimsy case, and 2) they are f*cking expensive. After waiting for 3 years, I decided to bestow upon him a cozy home. I know the color combination is a little weird and doesn't match at all, but I have a lot of yarns that I don't really use in my amigurumi projects (plus they are the higher quality ones).
I never realized that I have quite a collection of yarns at home. I actually have a blanket project that I haven't finished yet therefore I have a few more chunks of big thick yarn balls. It's taking me forever and it is a knitted blanket prokect. Self-explanatory as to why it is taking me forever to finish. I think crocheting is definitely faster than knitting, but that's just me.
Anyway, regarding this blog post title. Yes, I am officially a bona fide engineer.. in title. Although I haven't really work as one yet. So, this is me trying to tell everyone I have finally found a job in Singapore. I'll be starting work soon this month end as a software engineer. I hope I will do well in my work. I won't give too much details as I don't want any stalkers to wait for me in front of my workplace.
Well, yeah.. this is a very short post. I feel like I haven't have much time lately. Things has been progressing so fast. I still have a lot of things I want to do but it seems like it's pretty hard for me to continue on. But I hope I will continue to do what I like the most and not let a "job" interfere with what I want. Even if it will take a longer time for me to achieve it but at least it is better than not doing it. Here's to the dreamers.
Amigurumi Pattern | Mokona Modoki from Tsubasa Chronicle
Hi there! I'm here again to write another amigurumi pattern (I'm on a roll!). Though I think this is a very simple pattern so it won't take long do make these two little critters. Yay, for anime!
13/9/15 | Convocation, meet-ups, and some very random stuff
Behold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The diamond-shaped hat (idk what it's called in formal English) has been bestowed upon me!
Finally, I have graduated from my degree. Five years. It took FIVE years!

Joey's 28 Days in Europe | Paris 4-days Itinerary
Hello hello! This will be my first official Europe trip itinerary post. I will highlight some important tips and tricks to get the best out of Paris! Just keep an eye out for highlighted texts like this if you're bored of me talking about what we did. I am trying my best to organize things in this post, hopefully it's easy to understand!
Lego!
28 days in Europe, 12 cities for under 1500€!
Yes, it can be done! But first of all, please note that 1500€ is for train tickets between cities and also hotel/hostel accommodation only. This amount is excluding flight tickets, how you spent on food and also attraction fees. Since flight tickets prices are very different (where & when) and also different people have different styles of spending. Maybe you want to spend more on luxurious food or you want to skip all the museums, so it is not very accurate to include these into the budget count.
Me, my mother, and my boyfriend have traveled around Europe from 10th July till 7th August (so that makes it 28 days). It was summer then, so it was more like a "touristy season". I booked our train tickets and accommodations 3 months before the real trip. Therefore, saving a lot on train tickets. I've mostly booked hotels (triple room) as we are travelling in a group of 3. I find it cheaper to book hotel rather than hostels plus we have the luxury of having our own private bathroom most of the time.
What to do when you lost your passport during an overseas travel?
First of all, in my opinion.. The best thing to do... is to prevent it. Take care of your stuff people!! Before it is too late!!!
I was travelling around Europe for the last month and when I was travelling from Nice to Barcelona, it happened. We had to stop in Montpellier (an interchange station) before we can proceed to Spain. Everything happened there. On that day, our train was delayed for an hour and a half. Not only ours actually, almost all the trains were delayed because of the some railway track faults.
My mistake was that I put down my backpack behind my boyfriend's back, which was out of our line of sight. We then sat down and proceed to do something else. We kept looking at the display for any updates on the train status and also at our phones. And then when it's time to get up, I realize my bag was gone.
Guys, I hope you can learn a lesson from my mistake. Make sure to put your belongings where you can see them especially when you are out in a public area. Nobody will take care of them except you.
If however, you are a klutz like me despite the countless warnings your parents has given to you, well here comes the more formal to-do steps to make sure your travel can continue.
1/9/15 | Back in Malaysia

| Ticket back |
Hi and hello my rusty blog. It feels like I haven't write in since forever. If you think I'm going to post all my pictures from my Europe trip to show off then you are correct but not now. Not in this post. Let me make you feel envious soon but not today.
During my trip, I did encounter some problem and I became a victim of crime while in France. If you are like me with the "Oh-it-wont-happened-to-me" attitude, well, you're so wrong. They strike when you don't expect them to. Long story short, make sure your bag is with you all the time and make sure you eye them even when you are taking a break or resting... especially in crowded areas. If you think it won't happen because there's too many people, then you are wrong again. In the end, I learnt my lesson but I had to trade in my passport, IC, driving license, debit cards, laptop, my 21st-birthday necklace gift from my mother, polaroid camera, my make-up (my new bb cream that costed me a lot), my toiletries (also some new stuff that I bought), my time, my trip to Barcelona and a few hundred Euros for burnt train tickets and also to buy new ones. Yeap.... .... ... well, you can never be too careful.
