Year of the Rabbit is approaching~

Its gonna be my year again! Yeap im born in the year of the Rabbit~ *hop hop hop*

Anyway that means that Chinese New Year is approaching! Time for shopping and splurging! New clothes, new shoes, new lingeries, new bags, new wallet, new toothbrush, new everything~ Without a doubt, i did my share of shopping and splurging as well! Only this year i didnt have to do alot of last minute shopping as most of my shopping had been done over the past few months! I still have quite a number of dresses and clothes and even shoes that are new! Only a few more items i needed before im done!

And over the last few days and a week before, thats just what i did. I went to shop for 1 more new bandage dress from Topshop (sponsored by Mr Bf), a new pair of pumps (sponsored by Mr Bf), 1 blazer from G2000 (short version of a trench coat, i totally LOVE this. Pretty!), 2 simple yet really sweet t-shirts that i totally love (from some random pushcart), and a new wallet from LV!

Yay~ And i did the Hotstamping of my initial~ =)

Finally gotten myself a new wallet! been wanting to get 1 for the longest time! more than a year i suppose! yea i didnt get a new wallet last year~

last few months i've already gotten 3 maxi dresses, 1 pullover, 1 skirt (pressie from adel), 2 dress, 1 shorts, 1 top, and a couple more stuff i dont even remember~

now i just need a new bag, a new pair of sandals, probably 1 proper black blazer, and probably a couple more items would do! =)

Anyway apologize for the long wait for my updates! Last few weeks i had been pretty busy! here's a brief list of stuff i did over the last weeks.

1. Mahjong session at my place with my lovely colleagues (Jen, Peggs, TLC)
2. Mahjong session with Bf and his friends
3. Shopping with Bro at Orchard ION
4. Shopping with Bf and his family at Tampines mall, PS and TampinesOne
5. Salsa lessons (sadly my Intermediate 1 last lesson was on Monday~)
6. Rain jie birthday surprise dinner at Sushi Tei (will blog a seperate post with photos about this soon!)
7. Spring-cleaning my messy room
8. Reading a really good old book (Memoirs of a Geisha)
9. Spending time with Muffin dearest
10. Attended Vivian (Bf's cousin) BBQ birthday party
11. Dinner Treat from Me to Bf @ Irodori Japanese Restaurant (Riverview Hotel)


Oh! and on top of just buying clothes and all, Bf bought me a new Hello Kitty Laptop Cooler, and i bought my favourite Reese Peanut Buttercup Chocs! Yum!

Happy and Satisfied ME!

Been craving for Gelare Waffles with Ice Cream again, but as BF was sick and wasnt feeling too well the last few days, we couldnt eat it and thus i had to 'Tahan' til he was better! Finally today, we decided to head to Downtown East! First we head for dinner at BBQ Chicken. Its a Korean No.1 chicken restuarant! Haha! And so being a Korean fan, we decided to give it a try~ Yum! the food is pretty good, but the service not very fantastic. Oh well. all the young student, what can we expect~ I was hoping the waiter and waitress would all be Korean! Hehe! =p But nonetheless, we ate til we were soooo full i almost wanted to puke!

(Click on Picture to Link to website for a peek at thier menu! =))

But since our main purpose for heading to Downtown East was to satisfy my craving, we were determined to eat it no matter how full we are! And off to Gelare we went! Thank GOD we were just on time! In fact we're the 2nd last customer before they closed for the day and stop all orders! Phew~ Ordered the regular Waffles with 2 scoops of Ice cream, Chocolate Overload and Mocha Chips, with my favourite Maple Syrup and Whipped Cream!! YUM! Gelare has always been my favourite dessert place, and has NEVER ever go wrong for me! =) Definitely the Best place for Waffles with Ice cream ever on earth! (or at least to me~! hehe!) That explains why i ALWAYS have cravings for it! Hehe!

(Click on Picture to Link to their website for more info IF you've not heard of them, which i hope NOT! =p)

Yummy!

After eating i was so full i really felt like puking and definitely want to sleep right away! Bf send me back home, i washed up and head to bed to rest awhile, played some games on my iPhone before i finally knocked out for the night~ =)

Nights World!

Countdown Dinner Party @ Hilton Hotel Ballroom

On the last day of the year 2010, attended a countdown dinner party at Hilton hotel ballroom with BF and his family. It was a party organized by the Chao Yang Association. There were food of course, performance, some talk, games, and of cuz the countdown party! Everyone, the young and even the old were all dancing, fooling around and teasing everyone. It was pretty rowdy with everyone screaming, shouting, singing, blowing of whistles and als the sound of party poppers and loud music played!

Pretty fun i would say, and of cuz everyone was excited to win the lucky draw dip! I personally didnt win anything, but his family won themselves shopping vouchers and a digital camera! How lucky is that! Hehe!

After the party it was already 12plus nearing to 1am, i was of cuz sleepy but yet excited that its already the year 2011 at that very point of time! But alas upon reaching home, i washed up and was the first to head to bed and knocked out! Toooo tired to do anything else~ =p Thats how i spend my last day and last moments of year 2010, and the first day and first moments of year 2011~ =)

Below are some of the photos taken! I'll just let the photos do the talking! =)

Its the most talked about, most loved, most sang about festive season of the year again! Christmas!

Tons of people in the shopping malls crazily shopping and grabbing for presents! and the time when most gifts shops and departmental stores get really busy and harvest the most profits for the year! I was no exception! Only this year my shopping was done really last minute as i dont have the time to shop nor the finances to do so. Thus i could only make do with simple presents which i felt was convenient, affordable yet practical. Hopefully those who received them wouldnt feel that im an insincere cheapskate! Please pardon me this year! Well, i just started out my new job and im not exactly earning alot, plus my expenses and liability have increased and im barely making ends meet~

Anyway just a quick update of my pre-xmas, xmas, and post xmas~

Thursday after work, met up with my long time good friend, Sherlyn, Rene! Its been a year or 2 since we last met up, and its just so nice to finally be able to arrange a meet up with her! It was totally last min, we only confirmed the meet up 1hour before we meet! but im glad we were both able to make it! Met up with her at Plaza Singapura and we head to Manhattan Fish Market for our dinner. Catch up quite a bit and enjoyed the seafood platter for 2 which we ordered! But it soon got rowdy as many tables were celebrating their birthdays, and thus we decided to leave and head to Starbucks to continue our catching up session while enjoying our cup of frappe! Soon it was late and she wasnt feeling too well after consuming her medication, and so we bid farewell and headed home for the night! [Sherlyn, Its been an awesome catch up session and im looking forward to our next meet up! Get well soon sweety! =)]

Sherlyn And Me, And Our Seafood Platter for 2 at Manhattan Fish Market!

Friday was a half day of work for me as it was Christmas eve! Everyone was in the holiday mood and i believe no one was actually doing any productive work! There were gift exchange session, lotsa celebrating, singing, and drinking in office~ But as half my team wasnt around, me and Peggie were practically stoning away and were feeling super transparent as we were not exactly involved in any of those mentioned activities since we were both very new and still not that close to everyone in office. I guess thats one of the problems with working and being new in a huge organization. (But still glad i've got nice colleagues, manager and director who didnt forget us and gave up xmas pressie! Thanks!! I especially love the M.A.C lipgloss from my director! Hehe! and of cuz the other pressie were wonderful too! =)) Soon it was time to knock off and i headed home to get changed before Geraldine and Peppy came over to pick me and Muffin up and we head over to Pet Mover's Dog run at Pasir Ris Farmway! Met up with Valarie and her 2 furries and we spend the rest of our afternoon there. In the evening, Geraldine send me and Muffin back home. Bathed Muffin and rested a little before Bf came over to pick me up and we head to his uncle's place for Christmas gathering, dinner and countdown with his relatives!

Pressies from my Adecco Colleagues! =)

Yours Truly! Camwhoring in Office!

At Pet Movers Dog Run! Muffin And Peppy!

As for yesterday, Saturday, Christmas Day, woke up late as the party only ended at 3plus to 4am the night before. Watched tv the whole day, played our Hello Kitty mahjong, and then head to Tampines Mall for dinner at Din Tai Fung. Did some window shopping and bought the Monopoly Deal cards, before we head home and played with it.

Today woke up and washed up. Had brunch and in the afternoon we head to Plaza Singapura to do some shopping! Sweety boy bought me a couple of stuff such as a new PINK panasonic ear piece, Loreal facial foam, a new PINK comb, toothfloss and a new pair of pretty heels! =) Thanks my dear! After it all, went for dinner before we head back to his place. Laze around a little before he sent me back home! =)

Muffin with his new haircut (he just went for full grooming this morning!) and his xmas pressie from ME! Toy Carrot! Hehe!

Anyway hereby wishing each and everyone, MERRY X'MAS!! May your xmas be filled with lotsa fun laughters joy and gifts! Hope everyone had been blessed during this jolly season! =)

New Hairstyle! Finally!

After ranting about it for the longest time! After hesitating for at least 5 years! i FINALLY booked an appointment with my favourite hair stylist at Chapter2 to get my hair cut and curls~

Was soooooo sick and tired of my lifeless boring long straight hair and i needed a change, a new style, a new look!

Woke up early today and we had brunch and watched TV. In the afternoon we headed out to Plaza Singapura and i went straight to Chapter2 to get my hair done! He picked up his scissors and SNIP~ 6-7 inches of my hair was off~ So not use to it when i touch my hair! So short~

After which he proceeded to apply the stuff on my hair to do my curls! Total it took about 4hours! Poor bf waited for me all alone! So sorry my dear~

But i must really say, I LOVE MY NEW HAIRSTYLE! shorter lighter hair and pretty curls! Hehe! My hairstylist is just awesome!! I simply told him i wanted to curl my hair, and left the rest to him to decide! I have really no idea what kind of perm it is at all~ Even the length of my hair was decided by him! And i must really compliment that he is pretty good at what he's doing and most importantly he knows what i want and what suits me best! =) 

But then again, it better be good!! Cause its soooo expensive! Feeling super broke now! My hair cost me $300+! Damage again!


(So GLAD and thankful my Bf, family and friends mostly commented that it looks good! Else im so gonna have to bang my head on the wall! =p)

Anyway after everything was done, i bought a hair mask treatment for my hair, made payment and we head up to Ichiban Sushi for dinner~ *YUM*

Food was good! Not sure was it cause we're both really hungry though. Haha!

After food, we shopped around a little before heading back home for the night! =)

Hereby apologize to my Bf again for making him wait for me for soooo long~ And thanks to him for the patience and for dinner~ =) ♥

Advertorial: Aloe Lip Balm

Introducing a very Moisturizing, Handy yet Inexpensive Lip Balm to all my readers!!

ALOE LIP BALM!
With Jojoba

As most people are working in offices with air condition these days, our skin gets really dry and flaky. Most of us, including myself owns a body lotion or moisturizer and either place it in office, put it at home or simply bring a little handy bottle around so that we can apply whenever we feel dry. But some of us tend to neglect our lips and forget that our lips have skin as well! Since body lotions and moisturizer arent edible, we cant apply them on our lips. Most of us simply drink water to wet our lips, but you'll realize that the effect isnt lasting and at times it doesnt really help especially when the condition is pretty serious. My lips are always very dry and tends to crack, and i've been looking for a good lip balm for the longest time. I've used a few other brands including Lip Ice, but realize the moisturizing effect doesnt last very long and my lips would feel slightly sticky and i didnt really like the feeling of it.

A BIG THANKS to Vinci Lipgloss who had offered me the Aloe Lip Balm to try, and i must say i totally LOVE IT!

When i first open it up to try, the first thing that really attracted me to apply it was the Sweet Smell! Upon applying, i felt like my dry lips was Moisturized almost right away! I tried applying it only this morning before i head to work, and i didnt have to re-apply it til at least a few hours later! Really Long lasting effect and my lips doesn't feel as dry already! Unlike the other brands which i've used which i had to constantly reapply throughout the day plus as mentioned, i really dread the sticky oily after feeling, which isnt so for Aloe Lip Balm!

On top of that, since its named Aloe, it contains Aloe Vera extracts. And i believe as most may already know, Aloe Vera is really soothing and conditioning, and good for sunburns, burns and cuts. And true enough, i just read on some information on the Aloe Lip Balm and realize that the Aloe Lip Balm is also known as The Unofficial First-Aid Kit. Some calls it Mini-First-Aid, or First-Aid-In-A-Tube! Besides being able to protect the lips from the sun and dehydration, it also helps to relieve mosquito bites, burns, scalds, sores, cuts, itchiness,sunburns and etc. WITHOUT the unpleasant smell and burning sensation of normal balms and ointments!

Besides Aloe Vera Extract, it also contains Jojoba Oil, Beewax and Allantoin!!

Here is more information and the write up on the Aloe Lip Balm.

(Simply click on the photo for a bigger view of it!)

The good news i want to share here is that, Aloe lip Balm is now here in Singapore!! It is so popular in America that is it once said to be sold 5,000 pcs in 1 hour during a beauty bazaar!! How cool is that huh!!

So WHY WAIT?!

Simply head to http://www.vinci-lipgloss.blogspot.com to Order yours NOW!

Its really inexpensive, and i personally think that this is a truly worthy grab!! Its currently ONLY selling at $8.00 (included of Normal postage)

I'm so gonna bring my Aloe Lip Balm around with me every where i go since its so light, handy and convenient! =) 

Advanced Xmas Lunch at The Ship!
