It's the last month of the 2011 and I'm loving the cooling weather!
I've been trying to get sufficient rest and shopping for Christmas, the exchange sessions are giving me a real challenge and fair deals of headaches :p
Next, with JS' compliance leave next week, we're thinking of heading somewhere, but cancelled on the idea of BKK. Firstly, we missed the $190 -all in SQ deal *heart pain* which ended 30 Nov, and secondly, we were dissuaded to go due to numerous reasons.
Sigh, baby where should we head to with December travels getting all expensive? :(
My online friends - Karen and Celine have kindly sent me their Christmas creations as a gift!
Their mainline of business is in creating pretty & sugary items for events + event planning.
With really adorable icing items and their soft chiffon cupcakes, this constitutes to my first Christmas present :) Thanks girls!
If I'm in SG in March, might be doing a McD's party and getting the girls to do desserts!

On a very random note, Jie and I decided that we should have steamboat gathering at her place.
Went shopping at the supermarkets and chalked up a bill of $150 for a party of 6.
We wanted to try beers that we never had before so, tried and tasted Kirin (japanese beer) and Leo (thai beer) and concluded Leo has a better taste (thicker, sweeter), while Kirin is slightly bitter, yet lighter.
The worst beer I had was Bintang in Bali, awfully bitter :(
I took a picture of this and will like to recommend you to Brown Brother's Moscato, agreat alcoholic choice for gatherings.
It's a type of bubbly white wine and carries 5.0% alcohol (light).
I could never buy this at DFS (T1 DFS doesn't stock up BB) fortunately, supermarts carry them. It's around $20 per bottle. By the way, I never ever had Rose, usually I'll go for the white.
Description from BB site:
2011 Moscato
This current release is a light straw colour with some youthful green tinges, while the nose is lifted with aromas of musk, citrus and freshly crushed grapes. In the mouth the wine is alive with a vibrant and mouth filling sherbet flavour. A wine of universal appeal, the retained carbon dioxide gives a mild frizzante effect resulting in a lively and fresh wine. Serve well chilled and enjoy while young and vibrant.

Drove to meet the rest before we settled in kitchen. The boys watched telly while the girls do their work.
We bought chicken soup herbs and white fungus to make the soup taste better. Awesome base!

Lots of seafood (mega prawns, scallops etc) and meat :>
They had a hearty dinner while I watched pathetically. Apparently I had too much coke and it made me so bloated that I couldn't eat. Disappointing :(
Went out with Mommy for dinner and coffee.

It'll be awesome to have some family time together. Dad and Bro have been both busy at work, and we're thinking of organising another Crab dinner.
A simple WIW, chose the second ensemble because it's more comfortable.
It's knit on knit!
Have been wearing a knitted skirt because it's so versatile to pair with.
Navy Knit Bandage skirt from Le Grandeurs
I dislike most bandage skirts because they show VPLs easily - so I choose my skirts carefully.
The knitted material is thick & this offsets the problem, also love how flattering it is on me!
It's a perfect length for me, and keeps my thighs warm heh!
As of most knit materials, if you own one - please give it careful washing and hanging :)
Of my recent purchases are little mobile accessories!
well I never thought I'll ever own anything Hello Kitty, but I gave in because I really like silicon material and the ribbon detail.
I'll not be surprised if I'm finding myself a hello kitty fan one day :(

eyeing on this rilakkuma eyephones when JS and I thought it'll be hilarious having me to wear them, but ain't they cute?
On snacks, both of us are loving this I-Bits chocolate wafers from Daiso. The chocolate's rich and it's addictive!
We hardly see this in stock, so we dived in to stock 4-5 packs at once.
I'm having a lot of fun replying comments in my new comment dashbox, so if you have any queries, find me there!
Thanks for the many comments for my previous vlog - if you have video ideas/themes you want me to do, please let me know :)
Have a lovely midweek!
