Planning craze!

Recently, I have been really active in this group called "Planner Addicts of Singapore"! It is a group of ladies who are in love with decorating their planners with lovely stickers and stamps and colourful pens.

I have always been in love with stationery. I love notebooks, pens, stamp, wax seals, you name it all! I can never walk past a stationery store without going into it. Even QY knows of this little fetish of mine. hahaha.

I am so glad I have a community to relate to, whose husbands/fiance/boyfriends all find it a little crazy that we can spend so much on stickers, washi tapes, planners, notebooks, etc. But when we are together, we make each other normal. haha

Thanks to this lovely bunch of ladies and my dear friend Amanda for buying me my first Erin Condren planner, I have decided to start a blog on my planner journey. The first post is up so I hope it will slowly rise in the planner community.

Head over to http://partycarplans.blogspot.sg to check it out!

Lotsa love,

Passion

Recently, I have been blogging on my school's blog on behalf of the SIM Netball Club.
Just last month, my post was selected to be the best post and was featured on the school's facebook page. Which makes me wonder, do I really have a flair for writing? Do I actually want to become a blogger/go into the writing industry?

Been starting on the planner trend. I have always been using a planner but recently, the trend of decorating your planner has been hot. Was thinking of starting a planner blog, to show my journey as I attempt onto this planner path. But I guess I got to be diligent about it. I am thinking that if I do start one, do I start a separate blog or do I do tabs? I have a wordpress that I am pretty sure is rotting away because I haven't been doing my nails. so I really don't know where I should start. Really need to give this some serious thought as I do feel a strong passion towards it :D

School has been fine. Got back 2 assignments, both A grade. I guess I am really walking on the right path this time. No time to give up now. Gotta keep the engine going all the way to May 2016.

Birthday is in a few weeks' time. Can't wait!

Lotsa love,

School 😣

School has started (and my NUS counterparts are having term break next week)

So far, things are moving along quite alright. 3 lectures and all the slots I have chosen, I managed to get really good lecturers. Hence, I have to really appreciate how blessed I am to get them and channel it into studying hard.

Found friends in all the lectures so yay! Many study buddies to pull me through this year. I know I've been taking a long time to get through this degree, but since I'm already halfway through it, time to be awesome at it.

I wish all UOL students a blessed study year! All the best! 

Love,
Carmen Sarah.

Things happen for a reason.

It has been awhile since I've been in this space.
I used to use blogs to complain, to rant, to sound like I actually have a life worth reading.
When I finally realised I have a life worth living, I guess the need to rant/blog just faded away.

Been getting some questions on ask.fm. Think I answered them as appropriately as I could. Many many things happened. Good things, bad things, stupid decisions, second chances. It is really amazing to see how my life turned out from the mess it was in just 5 years ago.

It is all thanks to a beautiful, selfless, forgiving and caring young man who came into my life 3 years back. I remember the time when I was fighting for a boy who would not fight for me, but rather he fought with me. But this man, fought for me even when I thought I could not fight anymore. He stood by me even when I wanted to walk away, because he knew I was walking down the wrong path and he wanted to be there when I realised it to lead me back the right way.

I guess what I really want to say is if he/she fights for you, that is a love worth fighting for. And I mean even if they made a mistake which you forgave and gave a second chance, and they used it to fight for you. But let it go if they rather fight with you before "reluctantly" acknowledging their mistakes. You deserve better. Find a man/woman, don't play with boys/girls.

I can't thank you enough for being in my life. You have been such a strong support, be it in my studies, my work and netball. I promise you, I'll definitely do well for my studies! I love you CQY.

Back to school in 1 week!

Lotsa love,
Carmen Sarah
