The last year 2020, I'm got manage to fulfill 2 of my Wishlist even that year is the toughest year for everyone. I was the plan to buy a new camera and Apple Watch Series 5 in 2019 but I postpone that plan because I have a Europe vacation with my family in November 2019. 

Then, early in 2020, I was decided to buy the new camera from Fujifilm x100v during the pre-order booking in February 2020. The cost of the Fujifilm x100v is RM 6,288 and I am entitled to get the Pre-Order Gifts which is an x-series shutter button, 32GB ultra-SD card, NP-W126S battery (2 pcs), PU leather strap, and 2 years warranty from Fujifilm. For me, that is a good deal because I want that camera in my life even, I'm not a professional photographer. I'm happy to make that decision, even though I'm can't go to travel during this pandemic. 

Then, my mom gives me the belated birthday gift which is Apple Watch Series 5 GPS 40mm Gold Aluminium Case with Pink Sand Sport Band. The Apple Watch Series 5 GPS 40mm cost is RM 1,749. I also decide to take the Machines Protection Plan POC for 730 days and that cost is RM 299. I feel so grateful for all these gifts that I manage to get for myself. Later, I will share my thoughts about the Fujifilm x100v and Apple Watch Series 5 GPS 40mm Gold Aluminium Case with Pink Sand Sport Band in another post.

This is my first time trying the brand from Suu. The product of Suu I have been trying out is Suu Balm Itch Relieving Moisturising Cream and Body Wash, which is both sizes is 45 ml only (started kit). I bought this product at the normal price is RM 38.80 at Watson Malaysia Store.

The absence of steroids makes this product suitable for all skin types.

It does not strip the skin dry after a wash. It is very gentle on the skin and refreshing to use. I do recommend it for eczema-prone skin. I would like to give 4.6 stars out of 5 stars for this product. I will repurchase this product in the future.

This is my first time trying the Australian brand from Aēsop, even I'm a big fan of Korean beauty products.

I bought this product at the normal price is RM 310.00 at Aēsop Malaysia Store. I did also buy the Aēsop Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Wash (50 ml) with the normal price is RM 35.00. 

Hard-working hands deserve care, which is where this purifying set from Aesop comes in.

The alcohol-based formula hydrates as well as cleans and, when paired with the label's pocket-sized hand balm, will keep rough skin at bay.

I will repurchase this product in the future.

Another product of Innisfree that I would like to try on, which is Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Skin (200ml) with the normal price, is RM 72.00 but I got free this product as Innisfree VIP members promotion at the Malaysia Innisfree Store. 

Whether used as a wipe-off toner or layering toner, it makes the skin clear and vibrant like beautifully blooming cherry blossoms.

Just apply over the face and neck after cleansing, then gently pat for better absorption. This toner is hydrating but not too heavy for my oily skin. I've been using it all the days and it's kept my skin moist and clear. After a few weeks, I noticed that it also brightened my skin tone and reduced redness. I like to swipe it on with a cotton pad. I love the smell too. I would like to give 4.7 stars out of 5 stars for this product. I will repurchase this product in the future.

When I think back to what was happen on last year, it's a tough year for everyone including myself. Now, we already in 2021 and we are survived thru the tough period. I hope this year, it's will be good again like our previous lifestyle before the pandemic begin. I admit during the quarantine period and every problem that I have to face during this pandemic, it's made me feel anxious dan less motivated. I also hard to find myself to become motivated and a positive person again. All my works become pending even I feeling hard to find time to do what's I like to do. Sometimes I feeling everything is pointless… until someday, I find the story motivation about BTS. At that moment, I think I'm slow like them and in other words, I'm a new ARMY. The first song like really makes me feel cheerful again is Dynamite from BTS and then, the new album BTS – BE. That new album makes me think, I'm not alone in this world especially during the pandemic and quarantine period. Everything looks tough but I have to admit this new normal. 

This year is the second year, that I have been celebrated my birthday during the pandemic. But I feel grateful to my Mama, who is always beside me even my life is up and down, especially during this pandemic. Nothing special during my birthday but I do have feeling grateful for the gift I received from my Mama and Jo Malone London. I also try to cook the Miyeokguk or seaweed soup by myself during my birthday. It's delicious for me. I think the last time I was cooking the seaweed soup on last 5 years ago. Even my Apple Watch Series 5 also show wish to me. It's cute and I like it so much. Because of the pandemic, we can't celebrate New Year but we can still celebrate it with our family and friends at home. I also found that my Apple Watch Series 5 show the New Year wish to me. It's something new for me. 

It's nothing much that I can do during the quarantine period, but I know that I have to try to practice feel grateful in every moment in my life even it's just a small matter. It does help me feel calm and I can relax my mind to not always thinks about negative especially when I saw the news about the pandemic situation. In these moments, I do watch the old program that is related to BTS. I admit that BTS does help me to find a way to love myself indirectly to thru this hard time and I like Min Yoongi's character among the BTS members. Thank you to BTS as 7 members because you guys really can make changes positively even in a small part of our life. I do hope the year 2021 will become more positive and we can back on our previous lifestyle before the pandemic, like the title of my post: The Light Will Rise Again, Life Goes On…
