Merry Christmas Everybody!!

Yay for the long weekend! I've had quite a happening week, gbtb on wednesday, party on saturday night, and going out for hot pot later.

Went with a group of friends to the christmas wonderland at gbtb on wednesday. We bought the package for the Savour village, $27 for entry, some priority pass and $20 of food vouchers. It was a long walk from the main entrance and when we reached the food area, we were famished! I was initially disappointed at the pricey food and small serving, each person could only get 2 food items. Luckily there were 5 of us and we pooled our food. I ended the night feeling quite full and the food was really really good!

My first buy was the lobster balls with bonito flakes. Cant go wrong with this lah, it was good. I asked for more bonito flakes cos they gave very little at first. Wouldn't have insisted if they didn't include bonito flakes in item title hehe.

My second buy was the turkey burger which I thought wasn't quite worth $12. There was too much bun vs the burger ingredients. The patty was fine but otherwise quite plain. The store offered some interesting sauces to go with their fries though. On the right was some flat bread with smoked meat and salad. I only had 1 mouth of it so not much impression. The risotto though!!! It was so yummy and the cheese chips were special and tasty.

My friends came back with a beef don (right) which they claimed was too dry. The pork belly was served with some yummy black paste and the cheese chips. It was good!! The main protein for that night came from the half spring chicken and roasted potatoes. 

We had $20+ to spend and used it on a dessert, a sorbet(not in photo) and another bowl of the awesome risotto. It was a daily special and instead of risotto rice, they used some kind of pasta which had a wonderful texture. The whole bowl was cheesy and flavourful. I would want to eat it again..... some day...... Wonder how much the full serving would cost loll

  

Chii enjoyed herself that night! Btw that's my friend's Chii... I totally forgot to bring her out that night. I will bring mine out later since the bf wants to take the street lights at orchard. Chii will be a good model XD

I was looking for a flat comb+mirror set and found a really cheap and cute one on Lazada. It was shipped from hk but I received it earlier than expected. Look at how cute it is.

Received some really cute xmas gifts wwe should have these all year round XD

Chance to gain weight

It’s the most buffetful time of the year~~

Work has been quite slow as my colleagues were unwell and not around. (Haven’t felt this carefree at work in a long time) it’s a good break! Hope the new week brings new ideas and progress!

Started on my next cosplay project which is due in January.. making a pet dragon in chibi form. It looks like an angry grey ball. I purchased these materials and it has been slow because I’m lacking the felt and fur.. probably can make it rounder. Also no idea how to make use of the shiny cloth. The dragon’s supposed to have a gradient but I can’t find a suitable sock so nvm lah.

 

Attended a friend’s bday party at dte on Saturday and shun bian went for another chalet at the area. Wahaha so happening. There’s also comic fiesta at kl this weekend but the bf didn’t want to go as he has no leave yet and a weekend trip would be too rushed. I would have loved to go though.. abit jealous looking at all my friends’ photos there. But I also have no more leave to clear so nvm lah. 

This is big chi which belongs to my friend. She has a smaller one and also gave me one for my bday last year.. I should bring my chi out more... the next overseas trip she shall come along! Anyways big chi looks abit dirty here and I was also warned not to smell her hahahaha XD

Fulfilling week

Carried out the first out of Office event on Friday and it was ultimate saikang.. from logistics to cleaning up lol the regulation was that rubbish had to be disposed off site so my colleagues and I lugged the garbage bag across the road to a rather filthy rubbish collection area. So tired after that we took a moment to rest in the car. So thankful my colleague has a car. What will happen if she transfers department ahh I can’t and don’t want to imagine. We had a coffee appreciation segment and this is my first latte pour. The teacher just took my hand holding the milk and did the pouring hahaha still counted lah 

The left atrium abit weak LOL

Met the yyyys after that for dinner and listened to yz’s story and witnessed the test of true love . Hope to see the ring next time. 

Met Mel for lunch on Saturday at atas Gordon rams@y restaurant and we went to EOY after that. Some photos of the food

 

 

The apple black berry crumble was yums and I would want to eat it again!

As I had missed afa, I was inclined to spend more and specially withdrew more cash the previous day. The merchandise didn’t disappoint! These are my loots and half of them went to the bf. Xmas present for him considered settled hahaha

The hxh standee is of course mine. Gonna display it in office like an award XD

Attended a cosplay couple’s wedding today, the bf and I know both bride and groom. Infact it was the bride who asked me to join my first ever cosplay group back in nus as ccs bubbles (the one where I was the mermaid) and subsequently the fairy tail team (long green hair girl with a hat wearing black tube). The bf was in both teams but we didn’t talk much until later on. So in a way she did match make us? Took a lot of photos at the photo booth. Haha we went to gai gai at orchard after that and watched the animation fireworks movie. Verdict is don’t bother watching bah.. 

here’s a selfie.. I looked better in this 3rd attempt though the bf also captured the whole aisle and everyone there -_-

Anyways this wraps up the week and it was a good one!

Long absence

Bleh the blogger app no longer worked and I deleted it.. seldom on my laptop to blog properly and it’s too hard to use safari from my phone. Finally got down to search for another blogger app. Hope this will work well! Long post ahead

So my birthday came and went, had less cake than last year and didn’t manage to claim my birthday half day off as it was crazy busy in the new dept. The bf got me a bracelet! It’s hard to wear though.. quite an ordeal in the morning when rushing 

Update for my game— got the other new ssr but not much luck after that.. it seems the point of this game has boiled down to collection of ssrs.. sad

The company had a carnival to celebrate an award during the 2nd week of Nov and there were plenty of activities and food to collect....... including a multi coloured cotton candy! Super pretty 

On that same day, my onlinepurchase arrived and it’s this beautiful cushion foundation which was so attractive and cheap. Very happy with the purchase I could stare at the sparkly stars all day 

A few days later, I went on leave and flew to Bangkok with my family to meet up with the Msia relatives. First time in Bangkok and I didn't do much research as trips with my Msia relatives are usually just following and shopping sprees. I could have gotten more out of the trip but my relatives couldn’t walk that much.. it’s ok!! I’ll definitely be back and explore more of the place. We didn’t eat much Thai food nor visited the famous night markets or temples. Here’s a photo of the atas macaroons my cousin bought. The strawberry candy one tasted to good with a marshmallow center and remained crunchy even after a few days, cos of the sugar. Def my fave out of all of them.

    

Didn’t buy much clothes but my best buy was a new bag for work. The smaller bag was given by my aunt after we went back Penang XD she bought it together with me in bk but was so nice to give it to me Cos I was looking for another smaller one. I needed an image upgrade including my clothes and thus my bag. The prev kitty backpack was alright but abit kiddish to pair with some clothes.. also influenced by my colleagues who are dressed so elegantly. Don’t want to look like an ugly duck beside them.. eg I only realised both sides of my shoes were torn when I went to an external venue to meet a facilitator.. never felt more lousy -_- I guess making the effort to dress better would also help in my confidence level since I’m facing the directors straight now.

Anyways it rained a few days during my bk trip so it wasn’t too hot overall. The rain puddles made my pants dirty though x_x some breakfasts were also settled at the roadside stalls with seating area.. one of them was really filthy I lost my appetite whenever I caught sight of the floor hahaha just keep looking up.

Shopping was much more comfortable in Malaysia and I managed to get abit more clothes there. Just see the photos hor..

We made Bao, my masterpieces very obvious XD

Zaizai is good! He anyhow peed again and got caned. Also it appears that dog filters won’t work on dogs haha

New babies in the Tan family!! They are sooooo adorable and the younger one (right) has such smooth and fair skin, my hand looked super haggard petting him cos of the colour diff lol

Awesome food everywhere, both bought and Home cooked. My aunt cooks amazingly

Flew back to sg on Wednesday and watched justice league with the bf that night. Yesterday night after work he jioed me to gardens by the bay with his Mum and sis to view the winter wonderland lights and see the xmas deco in the flower dome. Very nice! But year after year I think there’s no longer the surprise element. Would not pay for this again next year unless got something completely new.

Just now we went to miffy cafe at bugis! Food was average and the cafe was small =X not unexpected
