Expectations

Been posting too much event posts recently and I think I haven't touch much on my personal life. So, today I will not blog about any events but on the topic expectations. It's finally week 17 of poly life which means that it's our projects submission week and it's gonna be our exams soon. Thankfully, all of my projects are completed on time and hence, this week is not that hectic for me.
 In the previous weeks of doing my projects, I realized that I wasn't really happy during some of them. Is it because I have too high expectations? I really don't understand but why does some people not want to do their best when this grade can subsequently affect them, be it small or at a large scale. I actually felt annoying during some project discussions when I tried to push some of my proj mates. But why, isn't it human nature to want the best?(unless the thing don't matter to you) For example, when I was told that one of my projects couldn't get an A, I went home and touch up on it with my partner. But why is it that for other projects, I felt that it wasn't enough but others actually felt that it was enough. I agree that ever since I came into poly, I worked harder than I ever did in my life because I just wanted to prove to those that looked down on me and despised me because I entered poly. But somehow they think because I entered poly, I'm not allowed to actually expect anything or actually do well? For example, when I told one of my relative I wanna get A for my test, she actually told me not to be greedy?!? So am I supposed to just be satisfied with what I'm having now? I thought since young, people always told us to do our best in everything but why is it that when we wanna give in our best, you all actually discourage us? 

I guess I should stop ranting because I shouldn't spread unhappiness to my blog. 
On a side note, It's finally Thursday! Been waiting for today for such a long time cause its a day for Sunday folks! 
But before going, I had my first blood donation:))
So happy cause I got a pink bandage!

Somehow the angle doesn't seem correct:')

Overall I would rate it a 7.5/10 I guess! It was a little overrated plus the waiting time was really too long. We ordered at 4.30 but it only came at about 5.10? Plus my french test was at 5.30 in school so I was rather impatient throughout. The soft serve was very nice and I will definitely go back for it:D

Good day only comes when there is good company!

MITJU ticktack shoes

Headed to the Mitju ticktack shoes launch about two weeks ago! Was really excited because it was my first time attending a launch event. I rmb asking many people for opinions on what I should wear that day. I ended up wearing a black spag top and a foil skirt from Supre which I've bought about a year ago but didn't have the courage to wear.

RSVP area

Received a goodie bag and the items inside are:
1X essential hair mask
1X Shunji Matsuo 10% discount voucher
1X Liese Daily Enhance styling Milk
1X Laurier Napkin
1X Asience Shampoo
1X "Tick Tack" Customised candy
1X Biore Bright Face Milk

They served really good food!
 
The highlight of that night was "Tick Tack Shoe", which is basically Mitju's latest collection of Japanese inspired footwear. The idea of this shoe is that it has two 'buttons' for you to attach your favourite accessory to it and you are ready to go after hearing the "tick" and "tack" sound of the accessory going onto the shoe.

Their basic shoe came in 3 different materials- Patent, leatherette and synthetic suede and are priced at $26.90 each. As for their accessories, they range from $6.90 to $14.90. Hence, each pair is only about $30+, making the shoes really affordable.

I was really enthralled by all the different colors of the shoes and accessories. I took quite long to choose which shoe I wanted because I wanted almost everything. As for the shoe, I couldn't decide between leatherette and patent material. The leather ones looked so comfortable and the patent ones look so pretty.



Patent material!

And they had so many kinds of accessories!
all the pretty accessories and shoes

I ended up choosing a white pair of patent shoe! Here are some of the accessories I initially chose to match the shoe with.

Posted this on insta and the blue suede ribbon was the most popular pick!
(*ps I don't think I've won the contest but thank you to all those who commented, really appreciated! <3 )

It is quite obvious that if I wore my outfit and went out with a pair of white flats, I would look like I did not plan my outfit well. But in the photo above, because of the pink/purple ribbon accessory, the shoe appeared to match my outfit. Hence, you can just change your shoe accessory and it will end up matching your outfit well, making Tick Tack Shoes extremely versatile.


 
 
Then, it was time to place an order for the shoe we want!

I changed my mind at the last minute and didn't get the accessories I've chosen previously!
Went home with this blue bow and black ribbon accessory!
Blue bow
Really like this blue bow accessory! It didn't really stand out as much as other accessory while it was on the shelf. However, when I went around the shop and holding my shoe next to every accessory for my last time that night, I decided on this accessory almost immediately after placing it on top of my shoe. So, I would suggest you to try matching your shoes with the accessory when you go shopping for them!
This accessory because black goes well with everything!
