Met up quite a bit with Shi Hui last week!
She's headed to San Francisco for 7 weeks for some school exchange programme
So I thought it'll be nice to catch up before she went.

Last Tuesday she brought me out to try Artestiq.

Hello pretty!
So envious she could pull off a colour like yellow because it can't fit most people!



Love love love my top - it's super comfy!
My mum bought it from Korea last month :)





Went shopping at H&M and somehow I she bought a new black dress
because I said I dont like the cutting of her yellow dress (she was going on a date...)
Which explains why she is in a different dress here...



Saturday

Went to pick Vic up in the morning and we went to gardens for a foot reflex session - pure bliss!





Got home, napped for a bit then drove mum to the east and then headed west to meet Shihui for dins!



Had EwF!









V drove us to NUS for the AJchoir concert.
I MISS CHOIR SO MUCH. The joy of being up on stage hahaha. and Mr Kwei of course!







After that Vic picked us up and we went to Upp Thomson for Udders!





So much fun :))

Have a safe trip and have lotsa fun babe! <3
Hope you get to meet a super hot and cute looking American dude there and fall in love hehehhe!




__________________________________________________________

Anyway it's 2 days to Vietnam - I'm all set!
Packed my clothes and changed my Dongs :)
All I need is that plane ticket and passport and byeeeee Singapore!

XOXO.

It's reaching Mid-May so here's my April in a few points.
I was super happy because Vic was coming home from his detachment!
The past 6 week had seem so bleak and depressing without the boyfriend.

1. We went to USS
Dragged Vic to USS to apply for the annual pass my mum got for free.
We only stayed for 2 hours because waiting time was crazy and it was gonna rain!







2. Farewell lunch at Crystal Jade for my cousin Edmund who's going back to Jakarta for good.
He's been working in Singapore for the past 3-4 years? and he used to stay at my place for a while too :)





3. I got my driving license! YES I AM A CERTIFIED DRIVER!
Although I think I was actually destined to fail, and the tester pitied me so he let me pass!



4. Soccer dates with Vic
On nights that my boyfriend spends with me or without his friends, I have to spend 100mins watching soccer with him.





5. Officially freed from my internship and jobless! :)

That's pretty much my April. I hated April though, I was super grouchy all the time and mum was being crazy sometimes it drives me mad being in the same room as her when she gets sensitive about small issues.

KTHXBYE

XOXO.

Me & the family went to Jakarta for less than a week in late March.
Purpose was to accompany my dad (who's working there)
And also for shopping and I LOVE indonesian food although they are heavily-laden with MSG!

Here are some pictures.

My bro came a day later than me & mum because he had school.
We picked him up from the airport.. Dad is looking all chirpy!



Happy after shopping!

With my relatives over Sunday lunch!







BEWARE: FOOD ALERT!











Seen on the streets...



Was so happy from eating all my favourite childhood food. I can die happy now.
Really want to go back for more eating & shopping, planning to bring Vic along the next time! :)

XOXO.

I've been so busy recently I dont know where to start.
I've narrowed down my internship to working 3 days a week.
And Vic is still away till mid-April so I'm starting to feel a little depressed.

Anyway just some pictures to summarize what I've been up to..
My DSLR's dead and I've been to lazy to bring it for repair, thank God for Vic's digi-cam!

Philippines wasnt all that bad but I didn't really like it all that much.
Why Philippines? I was there to attend a relative's wedding with my Mum and a few other relatives.
We went to this small town called Naga and then over to Manilla~
I really liked the Manila Bay area and the sunset was so gorgeous!





Yang's 21st Birthday at MBS in Mid-February





Keith's Birthday brunch at Spruce in Late Feb. They were hung-over.

\

Some family time spend too :)



Met up with long lost girlfriends.. had so much fun :)

On a positive front, it's been good because I get to spend alot of time with my bestfriends and family over the weekends :)

Heading to Jakarta next Thursday for a week!!!
It'll be a good break for me plus I really miss my grandma so I hope I'll get to spend more time with her there.

I actually tendered my resignation because of my travel plans and somehow my boss 'rejected' it.
So I requested to work 3 days a week (Tues, Wed, Thurs) which gives me a long weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon)
That's ample time to spend time with my family and friends as well as catch up on school work, seeing that the next module is examinable and require alot more effort in studying.

I'm finishing my Diploma in Communications in 2 months! What's next? Probably taking up a Degree which will take 16 months to complete (in a private Uni locally) or fly to Perth to pursue a the same degree? Hmmm, anything's possible. It all depends on the situation when the time comes ;)
____________________________________________________________________________

It does seem like he's squeezing me too hard in this picture hm?
Looking forward to Bali and Vietnam with V in a few months' time!



I miss you.
Come home soon.
XOXO.

Last Wednesday, I turned 21 :)
Had my party last Saturday and it was a small gathering at home with just a few close friends and family.
Very simple decorations and catering, and theme was supposedly pastels.
Pictures taken by Vic were so pretty, I love them all. Thank you my love ;)



With my grandma and dad who flew over from Jakarta for the party.
Dad was so tired because he had to transfer flights from a business trip.





My amazing parents :)



With my mum's longtime friends who watched me grow up.. they are also the masters behind the yummy cakes & cupcakes!













My very pretty mini croquembouche tower from the Patissier.
Everyone loved it. It's actually cream-puffs with fondant icing and different fillings.
I think there were custard, cream and choco cream filings. SO YUMMY :)





my besties, thank you for my first Chanel :)







With my mum's SQ batch girls :)







I HAVE FUNNY FRIENDS WHO CAN TAKE POLAROIDS LIKE THIS.



Wow. 21. It's gonna be an exciting year ahead I'm sure ;)

CNY in a few days, love this time of the year after Christmas.
It's also Vic's birthday tomorrow and I'm bringing him out for a Birthday Brunch :)

XOXO.

So this year I spent Christmas pretty well.
The usual weekend feastings and quality-time with the loved ones.
But we all know Christmas signifies something more than just eating and being merry.
We're celebrating Jesus! :)

I have this bad habit of blogging everything at one shot so here goes...

23rd - Eve of Christmas Eve
Half day at work, then off to high-tea at the Courtyard @ Fullerton Hotel







Omg and I can tell you that their scones are HEAVENLY.
Best scones I've had in my life so far.







And after that, baked a log cake at Great World City







Just some snippets, more on Facebook!

24th - Christmas Eve

Baked Christmas cookies because I couldnt sleep already.
Watched TV for 5 hours straight and then took a nap.
While napping, Vic called and said 'look outside your window...' and there he was in his raincoat.
Best Christmas surprise, sweetest thing ever! :)

Went to dinner with my family at the little fish shop @ NEX.
Food was good but never ever order desserts, we waited 40mins for ours!















After dins, went to Orchard to meet Vic and his friends and I almost died.
Got trampled and pushed around in the rain, I was so frustrated and annoyed omg.
And i swear if any of those punks actually sprayed that white foamy thing on me, I would've slap them *piakz!

Ended up going to Clementi to play mahjong till around 6-7am... and i lost :(
Cabbed back to HV for abit so Vic could get his stuff before cabbing home to koonz.

25th - Christmas Day
Privé @ Keppel Bay

We woke up around 1pm and went for brunch!
It was so pretty with all the yacht just sitting at the marina.
Plus the weather was so beautiful - windy without any sun.



Took pictures while waiting for the food~


 






Dad's Seafood Linguine $23



Bro's Eggs Royale $16



Mine Fluffy Pancakes $13



Vic and Mum ordered a big breakfast each $18



With our yumm food :)



Went to vivo after that. Then circle-lined back to HV. Sleep. Dinner. Back home.

26th - Boxing Day

Circle-Line to HV. Watched Vic play his NBA game for like 3 hours. Dinner. Mahjong. Home.
Vic bought a mahjong table from HV and had to lug it back home.. poor thing.
Omgawd I didnt win a single game last night y'knw, I was so stunned.
That's how good the Lee Brothers (and their mum) are.

Anyway that was my Christmas! So blessed and contented with life.
4 more working days and we're done for the year...
Can't wait for this weekend already! ;)

XOXO

Long weekend was well-spent with my favourite people :)
With my awesome bunch of cousins, w the besties and V.
I think working makes me appreciate weekends a lot more.
Mum was away for the long weekend to spend time w dad in Jkt.      
 
Saturday
Rushed back from classes to host the pizza party.
Each of us forked out $10 and ordered 4 pizza from Pizza Hut & Sarpino's.









The guys were hooked on the PS3...





As usual.. the highlights of every gathering are my precious nieces.

















So happy that my cousins, David and Daniel, could join us! :)



We went on a self-timer frenzy and took crazy massive group shots!













MAD LOVEEEEE.
Next one's probably gonna be in December and we're throwing Peng a 21st :)

Camera was too bulky we left it in the car so no pictures :o



Movie + Supper w Keith and Kel at night.
We caught 'In Time', was so good that I watched it again the next day w vic!
(that's $20 on movies...... I must be crazy, too much money to spend)

Tuesday i had my practical test and I flunked on the parallel parking :o
Striked a kerb and crossed some line = immediate failure. DAMNZ :(

Wednesday now and I'm back at work. Can I just say my colleagues are too sweet?
They arent giving me any work to do today so I can rest my mind for the trip tmrw :)
So it's pretty much a work-free day for me. So blessed. 

I'm all packed and ready to fly tomorrow! Off to making more beautiful memories.
EXCITED!
XOXO.

I only worked on Tuesday and Friday last week.
Was down with the bad flu for the whole week, took MC off on Monday.
Wednesday was Deepavali where I stayed home to nurse my flu.
Thursday I took an off day with the intention to head to USS but it was raining :(

Some overdued pictures from last Sunday's gathering.
Held at The Rice Table - yummy indonesian food :)







It's like a buffet. $18 nett per person.
They place dishes like these on the table and whatever you want to be replenished, just let them know.
And there's so much variety!!! Like 18 different types of food.
(Chicken curry, prawns, fish, chicken, rendang, egg, tofu.... yummmmm)
