This reminds me of end of December 2012. I think every year they have this floating balls event thing at Esplanade in which you write your wishes on the huge white ball? (Not so sure if it's yearly or just a 2012 event) I wrote three wishes - I wanted a GPA of 5.0 for that semester, I wanted an A+ for FYP and I wanted to travel to Japan and Taiwan. It's freaky because ALL THREE CAME TRUE?!

#1 - I only took COM402 and COM433 that semester. I got A for both modules. So yes GPA 5.0 fulfilled.
#2 - We did get A+ for FYP. Another wish fulfilled.
#3 - I went to Japan in May 2013, and now I'm going to Taiwan before the year ends? OMG THESE BALL BALL THINGIES ARE MAGICAL.

So yes, if you spot them at Esplanade, GO AND WRITE YOUR WISHES. :D

OK Have a good Christmas guys! I'll be back on the 27th and I'll have LOTS of reviews coming up for January 2014! Experimenting with LORAC Pro Palette and it is AMAZING. Easily my favourite palette to date (sorry UD Naked).
