心血来潮 recreated our pics from 12 years ago during our new year countdown to 2013 @ home sweet home

Harry Potter : The Visions of Magic with Mx & Angela

then made our way to RWS, collected our wands and into the magical world of Harry Potter we ventured... 🪄🪄🪄


Onboard the Knight Bus to Leaky Cauldron 



Then 'up' to Ministry of MAGIC, only for those who knows how to use a rotary dial phone... 😂😂😂




so many so many sparkly bloop bloops at our command in The Hall of Prophecy... 




@ The Chamber of Secretsssssss



spotted a witch @ Knockturn Alley !!!





this fluffy is so much cuter than the fluffy in the movie!!!

Planner 2025 is ready!

using the last of notebooks that ex-big-big boss gifted for Planner 2025... a new notebook but after my flip-flip-flips during doodling, bits and shreds of the brown cover material started to fall/peel off... what lousy quality seh!!! 😂😂😂

 



one of my relief activities as my cover activity and name sticker from Sylvia...😊😊😊


the monthly spreads for Planner 2025 are all festive or event related...

first up; Chinese New Year in January!!!

 inspired by the book "MicroJoy" that i read in May, i included a MicroJoy section to jot down the top 3 MicroJoys of each month... 


新的一年, 新的一岁 for everyone 😂😂😂... hence a birthday tracker as January monthly activity... it's also easier to reference from compared to having it in October in Planner 2024


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


February was when we celebrated (big scale) Friendship Day on 14th Feb back in college time hence a F.R.I.E.N.D.S theme with polaroids for wefies for all my friends from primary times till now... 😍😍😍



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


三八妇女节 is on 8th March... a month for women... a month for me... taking great care of myself is upmost important hence a tracker for self-care activities such as having sufficient sleep, exercising, applying more facial masks and eating more veg... 

weekly post-it from teachers' day prezzie stash

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


World Book Day is on 23rd April... just nice for a reading log... only worthy books will be recorded... will continue to read kiddos books and 没有营养的 online novels though... 😅😅😅


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Mother's Day in May... 蔡 mummy is 65 in 2025... gonna shower mummy monthiversary love with at least a gift, a do-together activity and a gai gai day out every term... 😍😍😍


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


June will always be my travel month... shall it be 2 weeks in tibet / china or poland / germany leh?!?!?!? 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Plastic Bag Free day is on 3rd July hence this Go Green theme... 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Singapore is 60th!!! valid reason to find 60 Singapore hawker food to indulge in since our hawker culture was successfully inscribed in UNESCO... 😋😋😋... 

these two sheets were To-Do List which i koped from Qiyi

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Teachers' Day is back in September this year so 2 'notice boards' to 'collect' notes & stickers from kiddos & work pals... 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Hangul Day is on 9th October, my birthday... what a coincidence!!!... so die die must continue to learn my korean... set a target to clear section 2 by end of 2025 = must master 2 to 3 topics per month!!! 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Thanksgiving month so must give thanks for each and every day in the month



as per always, no December spread needed cos no need to work hence no deadlines to meet in the month... 😍😍😍


original plan to use templates, then cut & paste for the monthly activities was because i thought they would look prettier, neater and i would like them more... but i found out that i am so 自恋 that i actually prefer looking at my own kiddish doodles... 😂😂😂


also luv how 4 of the monthly spreads; feb / jun / oct / nov, are not in the usual boring boxy calendar grid style...

Hip Hip Hooray to achieving one year of learning the korean language... no, i still cant speak it, neither do i understand any korean conversation cos they are just too fast for me but i do recognise about 874 words... 😍😍😍  

this was in my revision today and it translates into "There are three bears in a house."


Reminded me of this scene in my first favourite korean drama, Full House, that i watched back in 2005... 
i remembered the year so clearly because i remembered rushing home from double-o to catch the re-telecast at 3.30am on Sunday morning... 被电视机控制的年代... 😂😂😂
