Its New Year's Eve! I am really happy because of the long holiday I will be getting. Also I've been overeating this few days and I will still be later (What am I doing with my life).. But ye. Tomorrow is the last day of 2016, I am going to celebrate and countdown like I'm still a young 16 year old girl. Really I think I will prefer staying in and laze in bed but I thought I should get my ass out and squeeze in the crowd to make myself feel a little bit better (That I'm not wasting my life away doing 'nothing' LOL).
Alright so if everything go as planned, I will be dead tired by 1st Jan. I will first be meeting my colleagues at around 1pm to get our brunch fixed at Sakura International Buffet. Yes, BUFFET. So more like brunch and dinner and supper and brunch for 1st Jan instead of BRUNCH.. After that which is prolly late afternoon already, I will be heading down to Bras Basah to meet my sisters and company at the Singapore Art Museum (I have no idea why SAM but since it had been a long time anyway..).
When we are done with whatever, we will be heading to OSG Bar at Suntec for dinner (!!!!!!) then finally head to the countdown market opposite Esplanade, along Connaught Drive. Apparently this countdown market is just a flea market with many local craftsmen and food stores, then we will just be sitting around on the free picnic mat that will be handed out while we admire the fireworks. Ye, "picnic under the night sky". Never been to such countdown market and didn't knew it existed until my sister told me about it so we'll see. Not expecting much though. ANYWAY SO JUST IMAGINE THE AMOUNT OF EATING LATER.. Swear I'm dead serious about being on a strict diet from 1st Jan onwards. The buffet then dinner at the bar then picnic!? Not even sure if I can make it to the end of the day after my buffet brunch. I will try to have some self-control..
Finally when everything 'end' and the girls too tired to stay outside, we'll prolly squeeze with everyone else in the MRT and head back home. Just hope that it will be a enjoyable day and that everything will be 'worthwhile'. It is like 2am now already after I'm done typing all this. I better get some rest so that I can make it back alive tomorrow. Definitely unable to post this at 12am sharp later so to everyone,
Happy New Year 2017 !

Merry Christmas
Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas !
It's coming to the end of the year again with lots of celebrations going on. People celebrating Christmas, New Year's Day, Lunar New Year, following closely with Valentine's Day et cetera. For me, I prefer celebrating Christmas to any other festival. I enjoy doing the plannings and making the effort for surprises, to make somebody else's day special and memorable. Usually.. My surprises comes in forms of gifts.
In 2015, my mum kept complaining about her phone (Samsung S3) not working well. So I got her a new smartphone - Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (I'm not a very stingy person, at least not to my family xd). But then to keep it a surprise, I had to buy a non-contract one (It is like way more expensive) which I did in the end anyway. It was like 998 SGD, can't quite remember. And for my dad, he likes to use Nokia brick phones and refuse to 'upgrade' for some reason (Old people's thingy) but I thought I will just get him a smartphone too. I got him the Samsung Galaxy J1 Ace at 198 SGD only I think. The phone is easy to use and most importantly the screen is big enough. As for my sister, I got her the large duck (She named it 黄黄 LOL) at like 20 SGD cause it was on sale. She had been like "THAT DUCK IS SO CUTE" whenever we pass by Kiddy Palace or see little kids dragging their smaller duckies in the malls so I got her the large one as a surprise and hid it in the box (She thought she wasn't getting anything since I've already spent a lot on my parent's gifts).
That Christmas is probably the most memorable one because they were all really surprised and none of them would have ever expected me to get smartphones as Christmas presents. Reason being, I'm not loaded and was 'only' 19 years old, and that we are not even Christians in the first place so celebrating Christmas should really just be simple giftings. But still, my family and I spent about 1800 SGD that Christmas (Mum got us Guy Laroche wallets ^^ ).
Oh and if you realise the super cute mini Christmas tree drawing (LOL), I pasted it there so that we can put the gifts on the floor since there is no way I'm going to buy a Christmas tree to put there once a year.
The pictures say it all. This year I got my sister a MacBook Pro for Christmas. She had never dreamt that I would get her a MacBook Pro so just imagine how blank she looks like when she opens her gift (LOL). Few days before Christmas we went shopping for my parent's gifts and she was all like "WHY ARE YOU SO STINGY JUST BUY ME A WATCH IT'S ONLY $300+??" as I had no intention of buying anything for her on that day. I have actually bought her a few watches this year, so she kept grumbling about how I just refuse to get her another Fossil watch or the Adidas NMD Shoes for Christmas. At a point of time I almost told her that I do love her and have actually gotten her a MacBook Pro because I felt really bad that I wasn't going to buy that watch in the showcase which I would if it weren't already 'too much'. Well aside from love, reason why I've decided to get her the MacBook Pro is because she did really well for her exam (Proud sister here).
As for my parents, we got 2 shirts for dad and 2 belts for mum and all the gifts I got were tops (I actually like them alot). My sister got me a Reebok top (Prolly the most expensive gift she has ever given me LOL) when I asked for a PJ. By the way something about my family: we really hate getting gifts for each other. We have no idea what to give cause really, we have everything we need already.
So ye this is how I celebrated my Christmas this 2 years. What about you? =D
May the peace and joy that Christmas brings always be with you and your family, Merry Christmas!

Hello there!
Hello there everyone, it have been a really long time since I last blogged. I used to host and update many blogs but I lost interest years back and stopped. Lots of things happened throughout these years and just kinda mould me into another (better?) person. My priorities, my 'dreams', my perspectives to life and how I feel about many things/people have changed.
So just a brief update about me. I'm currently working, still 'sick', and fat. I've been working for quite a few years now and it does feel good to be capable of financing myself with activities, overseas trips, 'expensive' gifts for people, and practically just almost everything that I want to do. I am considering going back to school but I guess it wouldn't be that soon as there are still stuffs that I want to do before that. As for being 'sick', I've gotten better as compared to last time but still, ye. And WELL, about the fat part, I've actually started to diet and I lost couple of kgs. However with Christmas and New Year around the corner, hopefully my effort won't go to waste.. :'(
Now why am I back to blog? I'm blogging again basically because I thought of making this a platform only to share and record all the special occasions and happenings. It would be nice to have some moments penned down (actually honestly because I can store all the pictures here instead of losing it years later T_T). Well, I just don't want to forget some people and the precious moments we shared.
Its Christmas Eve today and I just got back from work (half day yay). I've gotten some gifts for my parents and prepared a surprise for my sister (Surprised my parents last year, will write about it with this year's Christmas post later). I'm super excited right now and can't wait for all of them to come back from work. I've also ordered pizzas for later tonight. No, I'm not Christian but I enjoy Christmas more than Lunar New Year. It's fun and entertaining and full of joy and happiness.
Will end the post here and play some games while waiting for night to fall. Merry Christmas Eve!
