Sweetness in Starlight.

Some people come in your life as blessings,

Others come in your life as lessons.

Good day readers, it's the 24th day of the new year 2012

And things are starting to begin differently for me.

What I meant was in terms of both materially, physically and emotionally.

First of all, GCE O'level results were out.

Honestly, I didn't do very well & the results weren't satisfying.

But many things happened, even though it was disappointing at first,

my parents still rejoiced.

I was at peace and I cried in tears of thankfulness once I got home that day. :)

It was a miracle. ( No joke) It really was because

All along in my graduation years, I've been failing my English subject.

Even so, I couldn't figure out why.

Knowing that that year I'll be having my national examination, I was truly desperate and troubled.

In fact yes, I admitted that I hadn't told anyone about the horrible feeling I was having ALL THE TIME.

Because what's the point yeah?

The one who is sitting for the exam is me, not anyone else..

Everytime I tried, I failed. Over and over again.

'Defeated' was the only word I met and had convinced myself into..

Still remember? I had blogged about how I had actually screwed up my English paper on O'level, and I was reminded by this matter almost every night before I went to bed.

I couldn't be more scared.

Time flies, O'level's results release were getting near.. but I knew very well that all I could do was to PRAY. And I did.

Cause what was done couldn't be undone.

The only way to was with God, and anything will be possible through Him.

So yeah, I comforted myself that for this time, I will get a pass grade for my English.

So what if I didn't pass in my Prelimary exams?

It doesn't even matter anymore.

God will do a change for THIS time round. :)

So I held onto this belief till the very day I received my results..

And today, I wanna praise my Lord that He is indeed real and He did not let me down.

Because you can see it by yourself guys, without this awesome God I would probably be on the newspaper..

I would have kill myself, yeah.

Because if you've known me well enough, I'm a girl who can't accept failure .

I've chosen my favourite course, Wellness, lifestyle & spa management course at RP. Yay :)

***

To be honest, God's really good to me.

In fact, he has already blessed me a lot more than I expected.

That day I went shopping with my mum at a department store,

I was telling my mum that I'm intending to get myself a perfume. For new year. Hee :)

Well at first, it was merely a thought of getting it..

I intended to browse through the perfume section first before deciding my favourite one.

(Because to buy a branded & 100% genuine one, it isn't cheap , guys! )

All along my mom, my sis and me used perfume.

The three of us loved it so much that we often used it.

And especially me who is so into girly stuffs, I wanted to have my own perfume. :)

And thank God that it's the first time my mom agreed fully to what I asked.

Yeah partly it's also because she's interested in them. (:

So I was browsing for Designers' Perfumes- Beyonce, Victoria Secret , Gucci and DKNY.

They're the only ones I would go for.

I was actually more to the Gucci idea because that was the brand I have always wanted to own.

But sometimes, it's really not up to your will..

While we were walking around, looking and smelling at those perfumes (they mostly ranged from $15.00 to $35.00) , the disappointed me was distracted and caught up by those sweet-looking sandals.

Because as I'd just said, those perfumes we smelled, were not to my liking. :(

The sandals-slippers looking shoes were on $19.90 sale so I ended up buying a pair of beach-looking slippers and a pair sandals with light pink roses.. :D

Lovely!

Afterwards my mom and I went back again- smell and test for nice-scent-perfumes.

But haha I think we're wise enough to approach a division retailer this time round.

The filipino guy promoted the Designers Perfumes which are on sale, and He got us into very attentive listening about the 'biography' of individual perfume.

Besides the dry part, he gave us sampling of smelling perfumes (where one spray of perfume is sprayed on each small slip of fliter paper & then handed to us for smelling)

Its texture felt kind of like the chemistry experiment's fliter paper to me. Hah.

His service was really good but we didn't tried a lot of brand as I already roughly knew what I was looking for.

Altogether we've tried Beyonce Heat Rush ( it smelled fruity which was really nicee! I like it! ),

Guess (it was more of a caramel smell.. So yeah, I was abit disappointed by the scent) and a few of Paris Hilton's collection.

Guess what? In the end, I bought home a Paris Hilton's South Beach :)

Intially I was hoping to buy Beyonce's however, it cost $55.00 (sale's price) with its pathetic 50ml..

There was a few minutes where I argued with myself that it's already a good buy because it cost $98.00 originally.

But oh well, I'm still a student.

That what I thought again.

I'm actually an unstoppable shopaholic girl when it comes to shopping.

Because I'm Audrey myself, I knew that very well.

If I DON'T control myself right in time, I'm gonna buy whatever that caught my eyes .

I took a deep breath and reminded myself not to fall into the trap of becoming a MATERIAL QUEEN. :)

So yeah, Paris Hilton's was more than good enough. It was $49.00 (sale's price) with 100ml where originally was $100.00.

Yup, I was all over the moon! :D

I mean, where on earth will you find a 100% genuine designer perfume for $49.00?

It's a rare chance, seriously!

But if it's a gift from God, it'll be possible.no.matter.what.

:)

And I deeply knew, all these things were in fact blessings from my dearest Jesus!

Give thanks to Him.

And in the end, I'm not a spoilt child- I told God that I will use the pay from my vacation's job to pay for my own shopping expenses.

He will be glad to extreme I think. Gee :)

I'm seventeen right now, that doesn't mean I'm older, I will naturally spend more than the younger me.

I'm seventeen right now, that means I have enough maturity to toss the 'past spoilt me' away and become stronger, self-reliant & independent.

I would dare to say I'm seventeen right now, and it's time for me to help to reduce my parents' burden.

=)

Many people out there dislike perfumes, I couldn't figure out every.single.time.

Many times, I thought perhaps I was different from the rest.

Yes, I always was.

But it took me some time to think and realise that, perfume is an individual interest and it takes one to use his or her own heart to appreciate the beautiful scent of perfume.

The smell of Perfume can take us to another world sometimes,

tempting us to yearn more of them and causing us to fall in love with them.

So actually. Everybody would love perfume. Unless he or she is allergic to it. (That's the exceptional case.)

The thing is, it takes the right perfume to capture you. ♥

And it takes the right owner to meet and appreciate his/her right perfume.

My Prom Night'11 photo are above.

Spent lavishly on hair curling & styling, make-up which was done by a beauty specialist

Not forgetting the once-wore-never-wear-again-prom dress, heels, clutch, earrings

But still Didn't regretted going even though my prom night's expenses was truly a Bomb.

Because it was a memorable memory that couldn't be bought with all the money you had.
