Look likes a few hours left before we say goodbye to the year 2019 and with a great welcome to the year 2020. When the time I see the number year of 2020, I feel unbelievable that the year 2020 is coming. Meanwhile, I'm a child in the past – I always imagine like this world has a flying car in the year 2020… it's okay. I was still grateful that I still alive and enjoy my life with lovely people surrounding me. 

Even though it's almost 3 years 3 months my mom lost her lovely husband and I lost my lovely father, but we still feeling tough without him in our life. In some situations, I feel the time is moving slowly but when on the last day of 2019, I feel the time is moving faster too. Time-to-time I have learned new things and at the same time, it's healing my heart too. 

In January 2019, I have two wonderful events; which are the Happy 7th Blog Anniversary and also my birthday month. I would like to say thank you for who are always support me until today. I'm appreciating it so much. I don't know how to describe it in the words. It does the third year I was celebrating my birthday without my father.

On May 2019, I shared about my moods. At those moments, I was feeling annoyed, and furious because of the 'psycho guy' that always gives me a hard time in the office. Sometimes, my work's stress is not hard rather than I have to face him every day, I wish he will be gone from my life. Then, as always I was sharing my beauty and book reviews too. 

In June 2019, I just finished unpacking my luggage after back from Seoul, Korea on last January 2019. Then, I have been share with the Modern Hanbok that I bought at Insadong. I did not think that I will have my Hanbok. It's really expensive for me but it's so beautiful too. I love it so much. Not to forget, I do share about the beauty and book reviews in June until July 2019.

In August 2019, I feel that I need the Reset Day or know as the short vacation. I do feel tired of working all day. It's time for me to take rest for a while. Then, I was planning to go short vacation to Genting Highland, Pahang with my mom and sister. We're enjoying this short trip and also release from our stress of working. I do happy to share what's stationery I do love to buy while I'm traveling to Seoul, Korea. I never miss spending my money on just some of the cute stationery in Seoul, Korea. Last year, my favorite Fujifilm camera X-T10 is not functioned well because of cold weather, what's I mean the temperature just around 10ºC to 15ºC at Sydney and Melbourne, Australia. Then, I try to fix it with updating the firmware even it does not promise the problem will be solved. I just hope the evening will be fine, because I do bring this camera along my trip to Western Europe in November until December 2019 with my mom and sister.

In September 2019, I join the event of Aldo Malaysia at KLCC with my mom and we're do enjoy and fun at that moment. I kept sharing the new K-Beauty products that I have been trying before this and I do the honest review based on my personal experience.

In October 2019, I kept sharing the new K-Beauty products that I have been trying before this and I do the honest review based on my personal experience. I also share about the book that I have been finished reading it. Another one more thing, I do share about my latest update about my progress of study buck Korean language after a few months. It's tough because I'm studying by myself and me also hard to find the extra time to study the Korean language but I try my best to do it.

In November 2019, I sharing about the Lifestyle of Self-Care that I have been practice lately to improve the quality of my life to be a better person. I also share my personal story of Journal – Alhamdulillah, which I have been grateful for in my life. 

In December 2019, I was taking 3 weeks to break from blogging because I have been a holiday with my mom and sister to the destinations that I have dreamed about that since I'm a child. Now, my dream trip has come true. I have been travel to Western Europe, like England (London), France (Paris), Belgium (Brussels), Netherlands (Amsterdam), Germany (Frankfurt), and Switzerland (Zurich + Mt. Titles). I will update these travel dairies in early January 2020. Then, I kept sharing the new K-Beauty products that I have been trying before this and I do the honest review based on my personal experience. I also share about the book that I have been finished reading it.

There are some stories throughout the year 2019. Some of it is wonderful memories and some of it is painful memories to me but I know my life's stories do not stop yet. I still have a lot of things to do on my bucking list. Although this, I hope the future will be bright and more positive vibes in the year 2020. I also would like to wish "Happy New Year" to all of you and always be happy and positive. 

Another Innisfree product that I was bought along my holiday to Seoul, Korea; which is Innisfree Jeju Camellia Body Oil (200ml) with the price is KRW 16,000 (RM 60.96). I noticed this product not available in Malaysia Innisfree Stores. 

The Innisfree Jeju Camellia Body Oil is the deep hydrating body oil formulated with camellia oil from the pure Jeju Island to instantly replenish your rough and dry skin with radiance. The botanical Jeju camellia oil, sunflower oil, and macadamia integrifolia seed oil deliver nutrition to the skin and form a natural moisture shield for smooth body skin. It forms a natural moisture shield on the skin to moisturize the inner skin and make the outer skin look smooth and soft. It is also a non-sticky, gently-applied thick oil that delivers deep nutrition to the skin for a smooth, and radiant body. 

The story is about Camellia containing Jeju's mysterious energy. The camellia produces red blossoms from the snow even during the severe midwinter season – with its gorgeous color and fragrance, the admirable and beautiful camellia endures the intense cold to burst into a flower. A traditional ingredient to beautify the skin – for centuries, camellia has been used by Korean women to take care of their hair and skin thanks to its superior moisturizing effect. 

After taking a shower, I apply while skin is semi-wet. Apply 3~4 times with an appropriate amount onto palms and gently smooth as you massage onto the entire body. After thoroughly applying, gently pat to finish. The scent is nice with camellia scents. Normally, I use this kind of body oil while I traveling to the cold season countries; like spring, autumn and winter season. It is better than a regular body oil. It blends easily, moisturizes well, and non-sticky. So far, I like it. I would like to give 4.2 stars out of 5 stars for this product. 

I bought this Winnie The Pooh, 곰돌이 푸, 행복한 일은 매일 있어 (Korean Version) while I'm traveling to Seoul, Korea on last January 2019. I notice this book is the best seller in the bookstores. Then it takes my intention to buy it. I'm a big fan of Disney's cartoon charter since I'm a child so it makes me want to have in as my Korean books collection. I bought this book with the price is KRW 8,400 (RM 31.20). 

"푸, 행복이 뭐라고 생각해?"

그 시절의 우리가 묻고 곰돌이 푸가 답하다.

"Pooh, what do you think happiness is?"

We ask at that time and Winnie the Pooh answers.

This book is a Walt Disney's masterpiece anime "Winnie the Pooh" illustration collection. The words of happiness are from the world's most famous bear, Winnie the Pooh. The animation Winnie the Pooh is based on a fairy tale named Winnie the Pooh by A.A Milne.

Born in Walt Disney's studio in 1977, he has shared happiness with children around the world for 92 years after reinterpreted in several versions, "Bear Winner the Pooh". It is also a memory friend that anyone in Korea can love while growing up watching the Disney cartoon garden from the 1990s to the early 2000s. Now, when the children of those days became adults, they are once again talked about as a pronoun about the life of Winnie the Pooh. At first glance, there is a simple bear's rule about the way of life that looks simple and clumsy.

This book, Winnie the Pooh, Happy Days on Every Day, in the words of the German philosopher Nietzsche who said, "My life is determined in my way". Here are some tips that may be helpful to us today. Speaking of Pooh's mouth of the bear, and Nietzsche helps. Happiness is still far away, and I'm gradually blurring memories of who I am and what I've been happy with. Today, when it comes to finding "happy", it's a long way to go. If you open this book, Pooh smiled relaxed, "Don't worry too much. Everything will be fine." It looks little but with a lovely image that coloring our hearts with happiness in childhood. I would like to give 4.9 stars out of 5 stars to this book. 

The reason I write this topic because I'm want to share something wonderful that was happening to me this year and I'm happy with it, even I'm struggling to achieve it. I put some mission on myself to complete it within 1 year but I take almost 2 years to complete it; which is I'm want to pay the balance of total amount my study loan and also I want to travel to Europe. 

In June 2011, I was success finish my study in Bachelor in Accounting (within 5 years of study accounting) and on that day, I'm official have the debt of my study loan with the draft amount is RM 63,000. Yes, a big amount for a fresh graduate like me. But lucky, I'm entitled to get exempted from my study loan (based on the final CGPA) with the draft amount is RM 22,000. I have to pay the balance of my study loan is around RM 41,000, which starts in November 2011. It's still a big amount to me but I'm quite fast getting a job, right after I finish my final exam in my final year in June 2011. So I try to pay my study loan based on the schedule they give to me; which is starting from the small amount until its increase every 2 years. On the schedule of my study loan, I will finish paid the entire amount on May 2022. 

But I'm feeling a burden about that because of everything I want in my life, I have to cut off and think wisely. I do well to manage my finances in every inch. I wish that I can paid-off my study loan early than the scheduled date. Start in 2018, I keep saving for my study loan and I get to manage to save with the draft amount is RM 16,000. I'm the success to pay the entire amount of my study loan in October 2019. It is just early 1 year 7 months from the schedule. I'm feeling grateful and happy about it. Not to be surprised, I also get to manage some savings for my trip to Europe at the end of November 2019 too.

Yes, finally my dream trip has come true. The day I post this topic is early 1 day of my trip to Europe. Just before 1 day I'll departure to London, England. I'm excited to explore some parts of Europe within 2 weeks in the winter season. The countries I will be visiting are England (London), France (Paris), Belgium (Brussels), Netherlands (Amsterdam), Germany (Frankfurt), and Switzerland (Zurich). I also will be updating my blog post about this trip started in January 2020. I hope I can update these travel diaries of Europe trip as soon as possible. 

Before I forget the bonus part, I also bought the new Samsung S10 phone to my mom, since my mom's old phone (Samsung S4 – the gift from my late dad) not working well now. It is the gift to my mom since she not join her company trip to Beijing, China on 16 October 2019 until 19 October 2019 and at the same time, she getting preparation for the Europe trip, start on 28 November 2019. Maybe it's time; I should gift something special to my mom. 

At this point, I feel grateful that I successful to manage my finances for some of my big mission in the year 2019. It is hard but I can taste the sweet by the end of my life. Yeah, I'm free from the debt, except the utility bills but rather than that, I'm free from any debts. Now, I can start saving from myself and maybe the next part of expenses when I am getting married. I just hope that I can meet my soulmate soon and also getting marries soon.

"Life is a journey. Life is not a competition. What's was happening in our life, comes with the reason. Whether we'll understand well or later." 

When I saw this quote, it makes me think wisely about that. Sometimes, I forget what's was happen in my life have the reason. It takes time for me to understand the reason what's happened in my life. In the journey to understand it, it makes me a negative person rather than the positive person. I think it's a common stage for a person like me, who is not felt grateful in the first place. After the time is past, its do make me think the reason for what's happened in my life has the reason and I have to feel grateful for what's I have in my life even it's a small thing. Because of that, I'm slowly studying about Self-Love and also the Healing Process of my life. I think I do have to change my life to become a grateful and positive person. Life has to be balanced with the work, family and yourself. 

Recently, the Self-Love or Self-Care that I do practice in my daily life is as per below.

I also not feeling cakey even all day I use this cushion without reapplying again. I like it. I would like to give 4.8 stars out of 5 stars for this product. 

In early September, Innisfree Malaysia has launched the new product line which is Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom with a nice pink color that matches with the Cherry Blossom theme. The hottest product in this line is Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Tone-Up Cream. As VIP members of Innisfree Malaysia, I'm entitled to try this product sample which is Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Tone-Up Cream and Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Jelly Cream. On the last topic, I do share some reviews about the Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Tone-Up Cream so in this post I would like to share about Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Jelly Cream. 

I was bought the Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Jelly Cream (50ml) with the normal price is RM 90.00 at the Innisfree Malaysia Store. In the month Innisfree launched this new product line, it is has a few promotions and I look interested in the promotion to buy 1 of this Jeju Cherry Blossom Tone-up Cream and add another Jeju Cherry Blossom product, I get the gift of Fall in Love Hand Mirror. It's so cute with a pink color, which is my favorite color. 

The Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Jelly Cream has a brightening effect of Jeju Cherry Blossom that formulated with Jeju cherry leaf extract for clearer and brighter skin. The ‘Natural Betaine', a naturally derived moisturizing ingredient extracted from beet to help retain moisture for dewy-looking skin. A refreshing and moisturizing cream that comes in a jelly texture, it is creating a dewy glow on dry skin. It is free of stickiness and because of its light texture and can be used in the daily skincare routine.

It is having two steps that recommend from Innisfree as below:

Morning Skincare Routine

Jeju Cherry Blossom Skin > Jeju Cherry Blosson Lotion / Jelly Cream > Jeju Cherry Blossom Tone-up Cream.

Night Skincare Routine

Jeju Cherry Blossom Skin > Jeju Cherry Blossom Lotion / Jelly Cream

*Be sure to double cleanse if you applied Jeju Cherry Blossom Tone-up Cream in the morning. 

This skincare routine is depending on your skin type; for combination to oily skin type like me, I do escape the Jeju Cherry Blossom Lotion and I just apply the Jeju Cherry Blossom Tone-up Cream in the morning and Jeju Cherry Blossom Jelly Cream in the night. It's enough to this skin type, especially the weather like in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I do use this Jeju Cherry Blossom Jelly Cream for around 1 month and I do like this cream so much. 

It is has a clear and light of jelly texture with a fresh slight scent. If you do have sensitive skin, be aware this cream has a slight fragrance. It's not sticky, even after I apply this Jeju Cherry Blossom Jelly Cream in a few hours my skin does not become oily. My skin feels smooth and moisturized. I would like to give 4.7 stars out of 5 stars to this product and I will repurchase this product in the future.

The hottest product in this line is Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Tone-Up Cream. As VIP members of Innisfree Malaysia, I'm entitled to try this product sample which is Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Tone-Up Cream and Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Jelly Cream. I was bought the Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Tone-Up Cream set with the normal price is RM 90.00 at the Innisfree Malaysia Store. In this set, I got a few samples of this product Cherry Blossom lines such as Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Tone-up Cream (50ml), Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Jelly Cream (10ml), Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Skin (toner) (25ml), and Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Lotion (25ml).

The Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Tone-Up Cream has a brightening effect of Jeju Cherry Blossom that formulated with Jeju cherry leaf extract for clearer and brighter skin. The ‘Natural Betaine', a naturally derived moisturizing ingredient extracted from beet to help retain moisture for dewy-looking skin. The most important part is the instant Tone-up effect. It comes with a watery texture to moisturized and brightens dull skin at the same time to achieve an instant and natural tone-up effect for a glowing complexion.

It is having two steps that recommend from Innisfree as below:

Morning Skincare Routine

Jeju Cherry Blossom Skin > Jeju Cherry Blosson Lotion / Jelly Cream > Jeju Cherry Blossom Tone-up Cream.

Night Skincare Routine

Jeju Cherry Blossom Skin > Jeju Cherry Blossom Lotion / Jelly Cream

*Be sure to double cleanse if you applied Jeju Cherry Blossom Tone-up Cream in the morning. The Jeju Cherry Blossom Tone-up Cream is not suited for night skincare routine (even they are allowed to use on the night, but I don't recommend to do so) and this cream also doesn't have ingredient of sun cream so I do recommend using sun cream after applying this cream in the morning. 

This skincare routine is depending on your skin type; for combination to oily skin type like me, I do escape the Jeju Cherry Blossom Lotion and I just apply the Jeju Cherry Blossom Tone-up Cream in the morning and Jeju Cherry Blossom Jelly Cream in the night. It's enough to this skin type, especially the weather like in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I do use this Jeju Cherry Blossom Tone-up Cream for around 1 month and I do like this cream so much. It is has a natural finish without a strong white cast compared to intense tone up and/or whitening creams. 

This cream is a soft and thin fresh fragranced cream that just perfect for brightening care. If you do have sensitive skin, be aware this cream has a slight fragrance. Meanwhile, if you do have a dry skin type, I do recommend applying a moisturizer or Jeju Cherry Blossom Lotion like the morning skincare routine I do mention early. One more tip, this Jeju Cherry Blossom Tone-up Cream can mix with your foundation too. I would like to give 4.7 stars out of 5 stars to this product and I will repurchase this product in the future.

I admit that I do love to buy Korean books when I back to Seoul, Korea again. I still under learning Korean languages so I do have some Korean books as my reference while I study Korean languages on my own. The Korean Verbs Guide Volumes 1 & 2 books I was bought at the Kyobo Bookstore Gwanghwamun, Seoul with the price around KRW 25,200 (RM 93.50). The package has two books inside, Volumes 1 and 2 so that's great for me. 

This book has 100 Korean verbs and conjugation rules you need to know. The books have 300+ pages in total. You can also download the audio recordings of each keyword and five sample sentences at TalkToMeInKorean.com. This book is designed to help you understand how 100 of the most commonly used Korean verbs are conjugated and used. If you are just starting to learn Korean, going through all the verbs in the book one after another can be a good idea, but if you already know some Korean and want to enhance your grammar skills related to specific verbs, feel free to just look up those words and practice using them. 

In addition to the conjugation table, you will see many sample sentences and quizzes to help you become more comfortable using the verbs, so be sure to keep practicing and reviewing. This book is great to get to know the basics of Korean conjugation and learn some basic verbs. I particularly appreciated the explanation of the different particles. This book also is well organized, the format is easy to read and understand. The improvement would be pictured with all the verbs. Only a couple of verbs have a picture. I would like to give 4.7 stars out of 5 stars to these books. 

Another product from Innisfree that I would like to try out is Innisfree My Perfumed Body Black Cherry Body Lotion (330ml). I was bought this product with the normal price is RM 68.00 at the Malaysia Innisfree Store. Since the lotion, I put at the office is running out so I decided to try the different products from Innisfree that I not yet try it.

In this product Innisfree My Perfumed Body line, it has a few scents which are Grapefruit Body Lotion, Green Tangerine Body Lotion, Water Lily Body Lotion, Pink Muhly Grass Body Lotion, Cotton Flower Body Lotion, and Black Cherry Body Lotion. The scents that suit my taste are Black Cherry Body Lotion and Pink Muhly Grass Body Lotion. In this topic, I would like to share my review of the Black Cherry Body Lotion. This perfume body lotion is filled with a sweet and romantic scent of beautiful black cherries that resemble a dark cherry sky. The Innisfree My Perfumed Body Lotion is formulated with shea butter, mango butter, and cocoa butter to keep the skin feeling dewy all day long.

This Black Cherry Body Lotion, I have been using around 1 month. It is pleasant, mild fragrance, and long-lasting scent with good moisturizing. I feel refreshed after applying the lotion. Even I working long hours under air-conditioning with this lotion my skin stays hydrated all day without any drying effect. My skin also becomes soft. I do like this lotion. I would like to give 4.5 stars out of 5 stars for this product. I will repurchase this product in the future.

Another product of Innisfree I was bought it lately, which is Innisfree My Makeup Cleanser Creamy Foam (175ml) with the normal price is RM 42.00 at the Malaysia Innisfree Store. Since my makeup removes is finish so I would like to try new product among the Innisfree's brand.

Innisfree My Makeup Cleanser Creamy Foam is the foam with rich and creamy lather thoroughly removes face makeup without leaving your skin feeling dry. It is made from the natural cleansing ingredients such as Sapindus Trifoliatus Fruit Extract. It is suitable for daily use. It has a ‘Moisture Holding Formula' that leaves the skin feeling hydrated and well-refreshed after cleaning. This creamy foam feels rich and bouncy on the skin. It adheres to the skin and it can remove residue even inside your pores. It is easy to use. Just dispense an appropriate amount onto the palm, and add water to work up into a lather. Then, massage your face with the smooth lather, and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. The lather will be richer and creamier when rubbed on your palm. 

I do like double cleanser, especially after I wear makeup. I have been using this product for around 1 month and I like this product. The scent is nice, and it does not leave my skin irritated. It's also gentle on my skin and it does remove all the makeup and dirt of the day. I just need a small amount to clean my face of the day. I would like to give 4.1 stars out of 5 stars for this product. I will repurchase this product once I got great deals in the future.

The last topic I talk about Study Korean Back by Myself in May 2018. It is been a while, I did not update the status of my Korean Language study. It's quite difficult to study the Korean language by myself since me not good to manage time for study.  So what's the progress of my study? Hmm… nothing. Can I say like that? But it's the reality. The day I post this topic is the Hangeul Proclamation (9 September 2019 – Wednesday) in South Korea. So I take this opportunity to share my progress about my Korean study even it's not much.

At this point, the Korean Books that I have been using for study are Korean Grammar in Use Beginner, The Korean Verbs Guide Vol. 1 & 2, and My Weekly Vocabulary Book 1 & 2. Sometimes, I also read some of Korean books story like Winnie the Pooh (Korean Edition) 곰돌이 푸, 행복한 일은 매일 있어, and 곰돌이 푸, 서두르지 않아도 괜찮아. I created the three (3) notebooks for this Korean study; which is the first notebook for Korean Grammar in Use Beginner; second notebook for The Korean Verbs Guide Vol. 1 & 2, and My Weekly Vocabulary Book 1 & 2, and the last notebook for Winnie the Pooh (Korean Edition) 곰돌이 푸, 행복한 일은 매일 있어 and 곰돌이 푸, 서두르지 않아도 괜찮아.

I'm feeling comfortable by writing the point that I understand in the notebooks while I study using these books. For me, writing it does make me remember and understand what do I have been to study about it. It takes time but it's the way I can remember easily by writing down in the notebooks, rather than typing. I try my best to write the point that easy to understand in my way.

Then, the most important thing is time management for a person like me; which is I'm working full-time and I don't have much time to study even after work. So what can I do? I have to plan well my study plan, for example like 30 minutes to study every day. If I can't do so, I have to cover back my time on the weekend. Normally, I have time on the weekend but sometimes many things or activities on the weekend that make me not have time to study. Even though my enemy is time management but I do try to study back Korean language by myself; it takes time since I'm taking almost 5 years not continue to study the Korean language. 

This is my story after a few months of study back the Korean language. How's about you? Share your story in the comment down, below. I'm excited to hear it.
