Merry Christmas!!!!!!

Merry Christmas!! Such a cute deco put up by my colleagues. 

Met the bf yesterday and we went to the gudetama cafe. Neither of us checked the exact location and took us quite long to walk from one end to the other and back again lolll. We started to queue at around 2+ and managed to get a seat within an hour. The order was taken in advance and we received the food quite promptly. The food was so good!! Was expecting mediocre food cos the food at pompompurin cafe was average but this was so good! 2 food orders and a drink came up to $58 in total. I wouldn't go back again but I would recommend my friends to go at least once :D before the novelty dies down and the food standards drop. 

I walked past etude house at suntec..... saw a bunch of lipsticks under the 'promotion' sign. Cannot tahan and went to check out the price-- they were 50% off and my heart jumped for joy. Usually $17 and now only $8+ Chose these 2 colours with the bf's input though I think he just wanted me to faster buy so he can go toilet. I'm back to my usual colours pink and coral. They look so pretty I can't even bear to wear them.... But once I start then don't care already lah. I think these are old stock so the base might not be very firm but it's ok~~~~

We finished a light dinner at fish&co and he suddenly put a box on the table. I didn't prepare a gift though and was quite paiseh. He insisted on me wearing it on the ring finger even though it's not a proposal HAHA and it's obviously too big for that finger.  

If you guys watched the movie "your name", this ring was inspired by the comet fragments which appeared in there. I actually saw the bf commenting on a mutual friend's jio post to order together. But he always feign ignorance when I ask about it. Hehe quite sweet of him this time.

My phone is dying because I'm playing 2 memory heavy games again, left with less than 1gb of memory space, Ive been deleting photos and even deleted whatssap+fb messanger. Mystic messenger has this Christmas 2 days event/route and the stories are so sweet......... I downloaded it back no regrets. Will delete it again after I finish all routes though... That will take about 1 week.

Toilet is still undergoing renovation....... I've kinda gotten used to it aka no hot water, no pooping at home and all the extra dirt around T__T my period came on the 2nd day of renovation cry cry. Ending (renovation i mean) the coming saturday I really can't wait 

I don't want toilet renovation....

Guys both my toilet renovations will be starting next tuesday and my parents have been working hard to seal up the master bedroom, kitchen and living room. I helped too but not as much.. Fingers crossed for a smooth sailing and speedy 10 working days. After that will be a full house painting job. 

Will take photos throughout and update here! 

 

Christmas is coming and I've prepared little cards for the team and lunch group colleagues. Received some gifts and this macaroon is so cute! Sold at raffles city. I was a little disappointed that the mini oreo was soft and not the crunchy fresh one though. Nvm the cuteness makes up for it.

 

After a colleague went to the doggie cafe at bugis and shared his wonderful experience, I couldn't tahan and reserved a slot the very next week. The bf and I went on thursday after dinner and it was more crowded than I had expected on a weekday night. The dogs were rather cute, smelt alright and really greedy. They would roam around non-stop in search of people with treats to give. No food no dog hahaha some of them were sad and lay at near the door but most of them were active. Some more gentle than the others but mostly greedy XD There were about 9 doggies that night, 2 more than the 7 usually featured in their posters. 

I was biased towards the zaizai dog (her name is lulu) and I managed to get her to sleep on my lap without much effort. She's really territorial though LOL she would start growling when other dogs came near or if I fed them. HAHAHA super cute. She left the 'comfort' of my lap once to roam around but very cutely asked to come up again after about 10 mins.

The owner of some of the dogs came about 1 hour into our visit and unfortunately Lulu belongs to him. She promptly left me and went to him with no hesitation. She also stayed with him for the rest of our visit :( hahaha it's ok lah his appearance cheered up one of the really emo doggie (the one on the most right) and I'm glad. 

Overall $10.90 for 2 hours on a weekday (mon to thurs) with a free drink is worth it because you get to interact with so many different type of dogs. Safer to call and reserve cos I've seen many reviews on fb where people got turned away due to the max capacity being reached. I really miss zai zai and the attention he gives whether or not you have food XDXD

Met up with some band friends and we rediscovered this super nice duck confit. Last time the cafe was at kallang area but it moved and I never tasted it again. Now we know it's at dhoby ghaut and a few more branches around. yummm

Everyone's going to Taiwan!! I'm going next year, tickets already booked and the taipei stay also settled via airbnb. Trying to figure out tai chung.. We have 2 days there I appreciate recommendations on where to stay and what to see there... 

update again

It's been some time since my last update and I just uploaded some photos from my phone.. not in chronological order but nvm lah. I'm seldom on my laptop other than to watch anime and the blogger app for ios is quite unstable so it has become hard to update... plus so busy!

Took monday off after the afa weekend-- bumped around and did my nails with the nail stickers I bought from a friend. Looks easy but I spent 1 hour on each hand ahhhhh I'm usually very fast w nails but this wasn't easy. They lasted for a week, scratched them off on 2 days ago

                     

 

AFA weekend was great! I had a simple cos on saturday minus the board and sunday was a dream cosplay come true. I only took one selfie and it was with yufei's sis! Haha super amazed at her prop making skills and that she was able to spot me among the crowd. I didn't even get to see all my friends sia and she found me hahaha -thumbs up-

Saturday's cos was fun and many people gawked at my board. It was stress-free cos I only drew the board, made the apron and bandana and typed out his name tag to stick on. I was cosing as a guy dressing up as a maid. LOL I didn't look as gay as I wanted though. Check out my slippers...

Sunday's make up looked good at home, I was able to elongate my eyes more than usual. The costume though omggg it was so stuffy and wind resistant. I sweated off the details of my make up... I also looked strange in my smiles that day. Will do better during the shoot. Was kinda fangirling over the bf cos I really like his character alot. Didn't have much photos taken with him though, mostly selfies and with unknown fangirls. 

$50 spent in all.. It's my first time spending so much during AFA.. I'm happy with my buys and will be hanging up the posters after my house toilets renovations and paint job. Woohoo! Finally I can have clean walls.

Oh yea I also caught my ditto, I have 2 already. My first and only 10km egg hatched an evee... I am disappoint and will prob delete the game soon

AFA in 1 week!!!!

Writing this post immediately after posting the previous one ahaha clear backlog and must post about the YYYYY's first overseas trip together! 

 I'm so glad it turned out well~! Bus wasn't too exp-- $56/pax! The ride was smooth, we all had seats + no one had to sit alone and customs queue was shorter than expected! Definitely entering msia via Tuas in the future, no more squeezing at woodlands which is always crowded. 

I have no complaints about the hotel especially since we only paid $36/pax for it! Near to the malls, and to many movies to choose from in the room tv! I was totally spoilt for choice, it was just too bad I didn't notice pacific rim earlier.. would have chosen it over the random johny depp cowboy movie. 

I would have wanted to spend more time together as a whole group.. but kinda hard for a short trip like this and when the bfs are around haha girls only trip next time ok! 

                                               

The bf didn't get to see our funny side... next time must make him laugh with our powers

Oh yea another present! wanted to bring her on the trip but forgot!! Left her in her plastic bag on the sofa instead :( maktub

My saturday plan hahahaha i've just cut out the cloth for teh bandana and apron.. Just need to sew a little bit! And draw out the door.

Super late post again

Been quite occupied so another saved as draft post ahhh Malacca trip in the next post!

Finally got my hands on this! It tastes better than expected! 

  

Had so much good food and buffet on my birthday week.

  

Received from the bf and the boss! :D I wouldn't have bought the game myself so it's good to get it as a gift 

Delayed

The blogger app had problems and kept crashing when I tried to upload photos.. This was supposed to be up last friday I think..

Started watching Days and it's a pretty good series, goofy and interesting characters

The captain wore a tux to an after match party LOL and he was the eye candy for that episode. Told the bf to wear a white tux and lean against the wall while waiting for me to come out from the mall toilet and say "I'll walk you to the busstop" so cool kyaaaa

I've also just finished mob psycho 100.... love it!!! But not screenshots ahaha

Many of my friends are already playing this mobile game but I resisted because it's just one of the many card/character collecting battle games in the market. I knew this was voiced by famous casts and already fully translated into chinese but I still chose not to download. So happened the bf was asking a friend for some in-game installation/explanation and she got so fed up with his inability to understand (hahahaa) that she asked me out for dinner and helped me set up the game and assumed that I would explain to him instead. I honestly wasn't that interested but I wanted to meet her for dinner so I showed basic interest and played along, literally. 

My server is the one circled in purple. It's really cute and I've also joined my friend's guild. All's good now.

I wouldn't say I'm hooked, but it gets easier to play after understanding the basics. The rest are dependent on luck eg what characters you draw. There is a story line and you can progress with no limitation so that's awesome and the graphics are really pretty! 

Some 'special' food i've had. I asked for extra noodles for the wanton mee and was surprised that it was an additional $1. But look at the huge pile of noodles omg never ending. I also had the waffle with toasted marshmallow and chocolate ice cream YUM it was really good.

I can't wait to cos Aoba. Have not started styling the wig though. No props for this cos but I really want to do it well

:/

Omiyage from taiwan so cute

From the shoot yesterday, made some changes to the make up and wore the costume better than during the event. I wasn't able to take as many good shots as I wanted though, perhaps cos it was split between 3 people and there wasn't quite enough time. The concept of the shoot also didn't allow many solo shots. It's ok! I don't think i'll be cosing this again... unless the bf wants to repeat the cos for an event (which I highly doubt) It's going to be hard to sell this costume cos hardly anyone knows about this series hahaha but at least I have this shot which will work well to sell it off.

Rants from here on.

The bf made me sad again this week. It's still hard to initiate extra meetings outside our usual ones, making me feel like he treats our meeting like a chore. Meet once during the weekday then reach quota le, try to meet again on another weekday will die like that. I asked one day before and he was undecided which is an improvement(?) from the usual direct no, period. He bothered to mention his considerations which were logistic related--I thought about those and came up with an arrangement which I felt addressed the problem already. He was still undecided. At this point I kinda knew that even after all the accommodations I could make, since it wasn't a clear yes, it's probably going to be a no.

On that day morning itself, he still couldn't decide and after lunch suddenly said he caught a cold, still not confirming whether we were going to meet. Until i asked and asked and asked he apologised and said no. That same night he played maple story until midnight. He might have felt better and well enough to stay up late for the game. It's also less straining for an unwell person to game in the comfort of his home rather than meeting and walking around all night. But what was I supposed to feel.

After the shoot on saturday which we had no alone time cos it was with a group of friends, I asked if he wanted to meet on sunday which was our "promised" meeting day. Got rejected again. His reason was "I need to pack my room" because he messed it up while searching for the shoot costume and props. Seriously.. won't take the whole day right. His room is not bungalow.

I honestly don't want to force him to meet.. but I am rarely satisfied with the shitty reasons he always gives. No choice got to treat it as him needing his alone time and not take it too personally.

Saturday

Went to JB last saturday for an event and saw this.. I carried one home XDXD it's the softest nuaest kitty bolster I love it. My mum loves mistreating it too though she doesn't admit and keeps saying it's too flat.

The food was so good~~ 

Can't wait to go msia with the YYYYs!! Glad we're finally taking action.. It's a short trip though ahaha hope we get to eat and shop lots! and I can't believe am amazed the bf agreed to go along! Actually he wasn't against it when I first mentioned the trip but he was more interested in going thailand and I also told him it's a girls trip so we left it at that. Haha anyways hope he will enjoy hanging out with everyone then he may want to join in more often XD 

2 weeks ago my second uncle and aunt came to visit from malaysia and I spent the weekend + took half day on monday to accompany them to gai gai everywhere and gardens by the bay where I caught this

 

I've been less active playing pokemon already... will probably put all my gyms conquered screenshots in a post and delete the photos from my phone soon

Value dollar shop opened at chinatown point and I bought a bag of these lovely marshmallows for $1 only. Got such a scolding from my mum though.
