Huat Ah!!!

Every Lunar New Year means I'll be getting some profit sharing from the company and with the amount of work put in for 2014, the profit was quite charitable. Could be better, just that some people screwed up because they just don't get it.

Anyway, I am grateful of the amount I've received and I managed to put aside for personal savings, family savings, bills and of course some satisfactions. This was over a period and so the list is quite long. So here we go periodically:
The iPhone 6 has been out quite a while back but I was waiting to re-contract under my company's line. Took me about 4 months for the re-contract between the company and the telco.
I'm in need of a replacement for my ID card case and I can't seem to find something that I like, not even the classy ones. Checked out the HeadPorter online and they've released a new Master Blue series, similar to the sold-out Black Beauty that I've been eyeing for the longest time
Since shipment for the HeadPorter online was 2,000 Yen regardless of the number of item, I had to get something else to make it worthwhile. Hence I got myself this simple but unique basic. Sadly it was smaller than I thought. If it shrinks after wash, I will have to handover to my brother or to work out to fit.
Normally, I would download most movies but there are occasions where I know I would watch a movie again and again. Those of Star Wars, Avenger and Batman. Marvel did an excellent job on my current favourite comic series, Guardian of the Galaxy. Hence, I've got to have it watch it over and over again. Wonder whether it'll be something like Star Wars were I watched it more than 10 times.
 
I know this is unnecessary but I just want to catalogue what I bought. I wanted to get Emporio Armani instead but they didn't had much choice of the microfibre type. I ended getting the Calvin Klein collections instead.
 
Another unnecessary post but I truly have to recommend this as how my cousins recommended to me. They feel get, try rubbing yourself in it. HAHAHAHA...
My doctor gave me the ultimatum if my health result didn't improve by the next review. So I had to start my jogging routine and get a new sport bands for the new phone.
A complement to the jogging routine. It is quite handy. Pardon the price tag.
Carpet (the neighbourhood cat) has been clawing my slippers for the longest time and it's due time for a replacement, in time for my next trip. (Hint Hint) 
I'm in need of a board short for the next holiday. (Another hint on my next trip)
Yet another replacement. I've given away my Burberry polo from HK to my sister as I've outgrown it. I just had to get a replacement and gotten the classic line. 
This was an impulse. I was in my Cubicle of Solitude browsing my email when I saw this on Groupon. It was just perfect, I love hidden excess belt and this was considered cheap. I do still want my Hermes belt. Probably next Huat Moment.
It is due time to get a new wallet. I intended to get a Bottega Venetta Classic Weave but realized that I won't be able to upgrade further. I seen something from Prada that I liked but ended up to a totally different design altogether. Simple yet classy, just the way I like it. 
After this, I may then upgrade to Bottega Venetta.
I doubt my perfumes will last till end of the year after knowing my family uses my perfumes. So I just had to get another.
Rightfully, I been telling myself to get the PS4 by Lunar New Year but there hasn't been much game released that I'm eager about. So far, there are only 2 titles. I'll be waiting for either the FFXV or Arkham Knight Bundle. For now, I'm going to find the time to complete the Kingdom Hearts Duology remix before the third is released on PS4.
Lastly, it's time that I expanded my Transformers Masterpiece with this bada$$. Yet another huge figure which I got a great deal over eBay. There are 2 more in the pre-order bin and I can't wait for them. I do still want to get a Decepticon seeker.

Well, told you that it would be handful. I spent over 2 weeks and most of this items are still in its shopping bag. Time to clear up and store the purchase. I really wonder what would be my next purchase.

2015 Reading Challenge Part 1

I chanced upon GoodReads.com back in 2013 from Facebook. I managed to catalogue most of my read since I registered. A good motivation for me to continuously read was to set a reading challenge which GoodReads catered the tracking device.

In 2014, I managed to exceed my target of 15 books by 1. I know it isn't much but considering the amount of things I've scheduled myself in 2014, I'm quite pleased with the outcome. The challenge also does not include the numerous e-comics I've downloaded into my iPad.

As of the start of February, I managed to complete 3 books. I really how I will managed to hit the target since my time is now packed with school assignment. Though that wouldn't stop me from preparing my impulsive read once school ends. Some purchase to help with the challenge.
I can finally start the series. Gotten volume 2 and 3 cheap locally but volume 1 was nowhere to be gotten. I had to order this overseas and the price is over the top.
Just some consideration
Have always wanted to get this but can't seem to find it locally. Finally got it at the newly relocated Kinokuniya .
Just something else I've gotten at Kinokuniya.
