New month, new journal. I combined the journal for June and July 2016 because there were nothing much going on in life.

From left to right, top to bottom:
1. Sparkling Wine | This was my first time tasting a wine. It was good and somehow made me feel like a high class people (ha ha!). But too bad I will not be able to drink wine too much because it causes me headache. And I read in article that it may due to having anemia. Well, I am not entirely sure on that.

2. BBQ Town

3. Apex Water Brush | Bought a new water brush. Oh how I love water brush! Anyway, this brand was cheaper than the popular Pentel brush and I thought it did a really good job. I bought this Apex and Pentel at the same time but my Pentel brush is already out of use after few times of usage because the "hair" just start to fall down. It annoyed me. However, taking aside my bad experience, I still think it is a good brush (there are many people using it!). Maybe I will try it again in the future.

4. Lexis Hibiscus | I guess this is as far as I can get to enjoy "Maldives" in Malaysia. I love the resort. It was very spacious and beautiful. There is mini pool and sauna room in the hotel room!

Also, noticed the little birthday cake on the word May. That is because May is my birth month. It is always my most favourite month, well, because it's my birthday. 

From left to right, top to bottom:

1. Sakura Koi Watercolor Field set | This was a birthday present from the boyfriend. I decided to went for this brand because I have read many good reviews on this. Apparently, it is a good brand to start with if you are a beginner. I also like the idea that it can be used as watercolour or gouache depending on the water level. And it's just good because it's travel compact. The watercolour set comes with a water brush that can be sealed with water inside so you do not have to go through the hassle of bringing water when you decided to paint outside.

2. Victoria Secret "Very Sexy" | Another birthday present - this was from my cousins. To be very honest, I wasn't a fan of perfume because of the strong scent but this perfume is fine. And the scent makes me feel like a grown up woman (ha ha).

3. Belgian Chocolate | Birthday present from my close colleague

4. "Dog" Food at Betty's Midwest Kitchen, Malaysia | This is a very unique name for a food. But it was pretty delicious and addicting.

5. Tumblr | I'm finally reopen my tumblr. Although it's no longer at xiaoxiaovie.tumblr.com as per the journal, I have changed it to itsvivieri.tumblr.com

6. Snowflake | I love this dessert ice cream A LOT!

7. Bockingford Traditional Watercolor Paper | This was the first watercolour paper that I used and I'm still using it until now! That really said a lot about how small my illustrations are.

8. Fabriano Drawing Book | I bought this book thinking it will be suitable for watercolour drawing because of the thick paper (talk about newbie mistakes!). Although it did handle water quite well, but the water will not behave as how it will in an actual watercolour paper. Overall, I still really love this drawing book. I may repurchase it in the future for sketching instead.

9. Captain America | Why are the Chris so handsome? (just let me swoon here!)
