The beginning of everything

"I still think that everyone's life, no matter how unremarkable, has a singular tragic encounter after which everything that really matters will happen. That moment is the catalyst - the first step in the equation. But knowing the first step will get you nowhere - it's what comes after that determines the result." 
-Robyn Schneider from the beginning of everything. 

Really enjoying this book so far.

Since I started looking at Hermes...I couldn't very well see an end in sight. L'ecrin is an amazing reseller with boutiques in both Japan and Singapore. Here is what I couldn't get my eyes off... First comes this gorgeous Birkin 25 in Ruby and gold hardware in togo. I am definitely not a red bag person but the color Ruby makes me think of cherries and strawberries for some reason. Most of my family know by now that it is my dream to own a pink birkin, but no such luck as they are extremely rare. Even the reseller prices reflect its rarity! This is Ms. Birkin 30 in Rose Confetti silver hardware in epsom. A pink Kelly is another dream of mine. Placing both pinks near each other in one page kind of shows how different they are. This is a 25 Kelly in Rose Sakura, gold hardware and swift leather. I feel swift leather suits this gorgeous soft pink. Blue Saint-Cyr seems like such a lovely and feminine blue. I think it looks perfect on this 28 Kelly in clemenc...

Chinese New Year

I don't celebrate CNY, but I'll post what we got on Bakery Story for reference purposes.  The only thing I got was the appliance, as I'm always interested in new appliances.  There's a new part, the lunar knob. I've already built a couple of lunar ovens but still wanting to build more in order to master recipes faster. I'm still trying to master the health food drinks from the goals this month. Dragon tables & chairs. I'm not really interested as they don't really suit the overall theme that I tend to go for in my bakery. Restaurant Story got a Valentine's Day sale and I went crazy with shopping! Really hoping we get a sale for Bakery Story soon too. I already have a Valentine's Day wishlist for bakery!  Going to post about the update and sale on RS soon!

Empathy? Where are you?

I've tried writing this post before, but i just wasn't sure how to continue.  My struggle at this chapter of my life is with empathy. I've always thought of myself as a highly empathetic person, fully able to appreciate another's point of view and feelings on what they were going through. It is perhaps my empathy that's got me into this mess. However, after all that's been said and done, I am struggling to have empathy for the other side. Instead i feel: -taken advantage of -exploited -wronged -defamed -angry -guilty Anger over all the time this ordeal has wasted. Over every second and every minute i spent doubting myself, wondering, worrying, going around in circles unsure of what i did wrong when the reality was that i did absolutely nothing wrong. Guilty, not because I've caused someone else misfortune, because I haven't. Guity of the misery that I caused myself. Misery that I did not deserve. I should have been allowed to be happy and enjoy my fresh ...
