CNY WIWs!

I've been trying to meet up as much friends as possible these days but time is never enough.

No thanks to me for procrastinating and delivering the late news to them about me moving, but I really don't know how to put it across to some of them.

The common questions had "Why", "When" and "How about JS?" in them and by this time, I should have templates for all these questions. Some of them had me answering defensively, some of them caught me thinking.

Answering some of these questions are as hard as decisions about the job, and that perhaps brought me to where I am; being reluctant to tell others.

I'm still going to give myself a pat at the back for e courage choosing this difficult path, whatever it brings me, I hope it's going to be a fruitful one :)

I'm going to blog CNY but to be honest, my CNYs never involved many pictures of my family because once we gather, we talk/gamble non-stop. I've made a few more stops of visitings this year since I'm leaving, to deliver news of my new job and to meet the relatives I miss ;)

day 1 outfit - stradivarius gold sweater, ttr floral skirt, hoh necklace, miumiu satchel

Spent my day with my closest aunt and family, before dinner with JS' family and then ending with my night stop at uncle's place (dad's side) where all my paternal relatives meet to gather.

day 2 outfit - LB's dress (launched last year), weaved clutch, grips heels, t&c chain

spent lunch at JS' maternal's relatives at grandparents' place. A yearly occasion that got me having headaches because his mom has 11 siblings :p

Q: How special is this steamboat?

A: It's one that runs on gas tank :) traditional!

Dinner spent at my eldest aunt's place (maternal) where my uncle and aunt whipped up some of their best dishes which were awesome. Ever since the demise of my granny, I've been wanting home cooked food. I know granny's dishes were still the best ;)

Ended the night with my paternal's relatives at the Aranda chalet we booked.

Catching up, gambling and etc expected! Won monies!

Some of the angpaos collected on day2

River Angpao day on Sat with my boyfriend. The only day we had to ourselves during CNY period :)

yventually tote and flats, ttr cardi (2010 launch), agnes b locket, denim hws.

SO RED>>>

Über excited to see all these milos floating around and I know I want them (thought it's free some more)!

Kept nagging JS " i want milo, i want milo, i want milo" x1000 and the cycle goes on LOL.

I think he already thought of getting it for me from the start but I just like the thought of being annoying :pppp

ME MILO!

buy a packet of 16 satchels of their new milo product and get this annoyingly cute balloon.

I see both adults (without children) and kids having these so I guess we're all the same :x

:)

Some pictures I took of River Angpao and as usual, it's themed dragon since it's dragon year and we walked around viewing elaborate exhibits.


This isn't deliberate but apparently the balloon floats in every direction.

I hit a few strangers (sorryyyy..) and it photobombs!

I'm hoping that you are not familiar with the chinese zodiac signs or their years.

Mommy, if you read this, I took dad, yours and bro's zodiac characters :)

Lastly ending with fortune God whom this year isn't distributing his gold sparkles.

Next year maybe!!

#likeakiddo buying my favorite traditional bird nest drink.


I forced every friend I see to do the "drink milo" action and my boyfriend doesn't get spared :D

Food stalls these year are great! For the past 1-2 years they only had china-chinese food, which I only liked their dan dan noodles.

This year they resumed their Taiwanese food and had local stalls too! Price ranges from $3.50-$6 a dish. Char Kway Teow for a miserable plate is sadly $5.

the 贡丸 (meat ball) glass noodles soup is such an awesome dish that I'm pinning to see it exhibit every year, imma gonna go back for this again!

bought my travel guide and rested my legs before we go to Pam's place for visiting!

Did catching up, lou hei then prata session!

picture from the video :p

prata and horlicks peng (iced horlicks)

Had a bad cold starting Sunday (I'm still down with it, terrible i'm feeling).

to my aunt's place - HH maxi dress, tote as above, jelly shoes, hoh necklace.

my nails same color as my dress = jade!

My best aunt did home-cook and bought my favorite roasted duck meat :)


handmade pizza (down to the dough) made by my uncle

mr chef! No pictures of aunt cos she said she isn't photo ready:)

Gonna review the new bag i got from Yventually!

Julia PU tote that was a sell-out the previous time the online store sold it so the owner manufactured another batch of these with improvements made;

A roomy and good quality tote for me to bring my laptop especially when I check in next week :)

Decided on the gunmetal grey (I find it blue too) as I find the tone unique.

It really like this shade so I decided this over nude, which was the other color I liked.

I think this bag's a beauty, and besides it's really roomy!

Some of the factors that makes me happy;

Delivered to me completely new (thanks Yvonne!)

With 2 inner slots at the front and 1 zip compartment at the back in its interior.

Black lining.

I tried filling it with small items and the bag holds them well with a good base.

metalware used are brass gold hardware that looks slightly vintage, with a front clasp and 2 magnetic buttons on its sides.

Matte wrinkled texture PU leather so no scratches can make it look worn :)

If you're lazy like me ( i don't like to fasten the sides) you can use the main zip to secure your items from falling out.

It comes with a sling and personally I like to wear the bag on my shoulders since the handles are long enough. I did a meet up with Yventually the other time, and I know they're going to hold one next Monday in the CBD!

Can someone take pictures of the nude pink worn if you get it please? I wanna see real life shots cos I think it's pretty too! :)

last but not least, some photobooth fun to share;

Having my last week in SG, I hope things will be smooth for this year!
The last random note which I intend to put forth here is I LOVE YOU MOM, PLEASE TELL DAD I LOVE HIM TOO!! :DD
