This was the first time I completely skipped a Monday Hour One weekly post since I started 32 weeks ago. To me, this serves as some sort of diary so I intend to continue long-term even if I missed a week or two. For those of you who have been following, thank you! I know this series is not informative or educational like my other posts (e.g., CPA post, book reviews, gift guides etc) so I am flattered that you are interested in my personal life at all.
A lot has happened in the last two weeks so I thought I will break them down in bullet points:
- One of my big goals for 2021 is to focus on my Instagram! I did a lot of planning and shopping in the past 2 weeks to get my office ready for pictures. I used to mainly post about hotels & travel on my Instagram and was never consistent. This is going to change because I plan on focusing on educational content instead. CPA, personal finance & book reviews will be the main content focus. I also decided against using word-picture as the visuals hence I have been putting a lot of effort into decorating my office for the season. If you are interested, follow me there and say hi!
- Study for my exam has been going well. I had a few days where I was really tempted to skip studying altogether but I pulled through. I used to study in the morning before work for Core 2 but I simply haven’t been able to wake up earlier than I have to.
- We tried Gokudo Shabu Shabu in Burnaby for the first time and fell in love. It was SO GOOD! It has surprising really good service as well.

- I got another pair of shoes at Saks Off Fifth because I have no self-control when it comes to shoes. I spotted these extremely cute pink rainboots from Lemon Jelly and immediately decided I needed rain boots. For someone who hates walking especially when it rains, it was quite a stretch but I was a happy girl after.

- The Pilsen Salt Desk I ordered from Crate & Barrel a while ago has been delayed from early Dec to early Jan. I had been debating whether to keep it for a while so that was the last straw. That weekend, I cancelled the order and picked up the BESTA BURS from IKEA. I didn’t think the table was big enough until Eric suggested that I can mount my monitor to allow for more space. I will also be looking for a new monitor and keyboard/mouse set too as I want a white theme.
- Eric finally got all the computer parts he needed to build his own PC. Putting it together took longer than he expected (as always) but I am extremely envious of how his office turned out. His vision came to life and looked better than I imagined (granted, my imagination is quite bad). He went way over our original budget but that’s another story for November money diary recap.
