December Happenings

Friday, February 22, 2013

I know it's 2013 yo!
But I've been on a hiatus for so long that I'm so scared my readers will leaveeeeee :(

Hahhaa, anyway I just wanna blog about all the happenings during the month of December!
Yes, December was fucking awesome for me! So many stuffs going on and I don't even have time for myself :(


PHOTOSHOOT WITH TOUCHSTUDIOS, 18TH DECEMBER

Dear and I went for a photoshoot with Touch Studios at Botanic Gardens that day, and we had so much fun with our photographer, Caleb!
(Go check out their Facebook page :) They have gorgeous photos!)


I was wearing my Missypixie romper and a pair of lace wedges (which was rather high) so during our photoshoots, we had to stand on rocks and walk through the rough terrains so it was tough for me. The photographer was telling me, "Woah, you're bringing high heels to another level man" HAHAHA. \

Dear was sweating like a pig & we had no idea HOW tedious photoshoots can get. So don't get deceived by all the glam and glitz of all these photos.. There're much more behind these photos.

After our photoshoots, Dear and I wandered off on our own, used my brother's DSLR and shot on our own :)
(I WILL SHARE THE PHOTOS AS SOON AS THEY EMAIL ME THE PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS!)


Meanwhile, enjoy the photos we took!






Gotta admit swans are the my favourite birds everrr~

















 






Totally sums up the photoshoot :)

There were so many Christmas trees all over the garden! Such a pleasant sight :)

After hanging out at Botanic Gardens, we walked around town, before going to Marina Bay Sands to fly kite!!!!!!!

 Wheeeeeeeee :)



SENTOSA ADVENTURE COVE
I forgot which day we went, but it was really fun!!
The admission fee for adult is $29 per person, and compared to USS the price is alot more affordable. However, the rides in Sentosa Adventure cove is rather limited as I've heard that not all attractions are available yet?

So this trip is actually a birthday treat from me to my boyfriend!!

Me looking really grumpy 'cos my boyfriend kinda pissed me off zzz. And I still remembered what happen. Cos he said I was too stubborn to let him help me with the float. And called me stupid. Hmph, I'm still abit angry over what happen. Hahhaa 


After that, we made up and.................................. took a picture

Okay I'm actually really pissed in the photo thus my face.
But I don't careee anyway wanted to try snorkelling but I HAD A PANIC ATTACK WTF.


I couldn't breathe when my feet started to not feel the ground, and I felt like I was sinking deep into the water despite wearing the float. So I had to be pulled out and waited for Dear to snorkel finish :(

I guess I can't handle deep water.........................
And the fact that all the small little children were snorkelling didn't help either, sigh



I wanna swim with you little fishiesss :( 



After that, it started to rain super heavily thus all activities and rides were suspended for a while till further notice. Had to take cover at the children's pool which had really pretty shelters and sofa beds.. so sipped our hot milk tea and coffee in this awesome weather. Shiokk




Anyway this was me earlier on. With the snorkelling gear but in the end, damn FAIL


So this was some of the photos that Dear snapped while snorkelling in the pool :)



Hehe, after that we retreated back to the children's pool again to refill our milk tea and coffee, and seek warmth in the warm children's pool~


After the rain, all rides were available again thus we ran to complete all the freaking rides!!

This was the slide whereby you have to carry your float to the top and swoooosh! down you go! 

 Dear with his float!

After that, we went to check out the stingrays!

Staff feeding stingrays! 

So many different types of stingrays! 

My hot man 


He went for the second round of snorkelling again! This time didn't bring the camera in so I snapped while he was snorkelling! ^^



CHEEEEEEESE 

After that, went to the dare devil pool and BOY THE POOL IS FREAKING DEEP SO I COULDN'T TRY THE RIDES :(
 I wanna try too but it's too deep...... I WILL DROWN


There are quite a few rides in the water theme park itself, and the best ride in the theme park had a freaking long queue so we went once only :(

Overall, it's pretty good!! I really enjoyed it and I wanna go again!!!

After swimming and eating at Malaysian Food Street, we went window shopping and the fountain areas to check the scenery out :)












Hehe so freaking pretty I love that night with my dearrrr :)


Anyway brought Dear to White Rabbit another night for his birthday!!

Yeah, we had brunch at Chockful of Beans, before going to Old School Delight to try out their drinks.. But sadly didn't try out their desserts :/

 Whee, snake & ladder!

Whee I love this! It's a combination of Milo and Tea and ITS AWESOME 

 Dear tried the Bandung something and it was sweet but still tasted refreshing and good though!


 AND LOOK AT THE ROWS OF CAKES THERE *.*
Wanted to try out the banana cake (I'm a huge banana fan) but didn't since we were going to White Rabbit to eat :)

Took the photos at White Rabbit with my polaroid that's why I can't post it up :(
But hope Dear enjoyed his birthday though :)

Another meetup with Jiale!
Been super long since I met this darling of mine and I was super excited to meet her :)


Went to try out the coffee at Chye Seng Huat Hardware and surprisingly, it was really good!
I'm not a coffee person but the coffee is really awesome..


The name is actually pretty much misleading cos Jiale started asking me, "huh is not a hardware store meh?" And when we actually reached the shop outside, we were wondering is it even a cafe in the first place?! It looked more like those run down shop selling construction materials. But there was a hidden alley that you have to pass through to the cafe! So damn cool :)

The interior 

Coffee and cake :)

Hehe, it was really good and an awesome day spent with the darling :)



NEW YEAR EVE 
Yes, I spent my new year eve with dear and we went to marina barrage to catch the fireworks!!
That night there was a band playing and IT WAS SUPER LOUD AND NOISY -_-
Apparently not pleasant to the ears at all. Zzz





Not alot of people that night, so really happy!!!! 

Love the view :) 

At 12am, fireworks came up and the view was magnificent!

SUPER PRETTY :)


And that was how I spent my last week of 2012~~


birthday

Happy Birthday, Myself

Sunday, December 02, 2012

Before I start on my 19th birthday post, I would like to post mention a few things!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday, I made a decision which I'm (still) unsure if it's a correct one.
I JOINED CELEBRITY FITNESS!

Yes, it's just right across my house (downtown east) & the classes are intensive yet fun! Problem is will I be able to keep my determination up throughout the one year period? And it's not cheap given the pay I'm earning every month too. Sigh.

You may think that it's fine, I can just stop anytime if I wanna stop. But no, I HAVE to commit during this one entire year. If I were to quit, there's a penalty fee which is fucking expensive.


So.... Let me find the motivation again & I'll be in the gym every week!

Another thing was that I tried cooking Aglio Olio based on the recipe Dear gave me, but I failed terribly. It's not the recipe that's wrong but it's just me. I don't even know how to fry the garlic for heaven sake! Don't even mention what should be cooked first. ~_~

Ended up pouring everything away....

& after that, I wasn't ready to give up yet. I still BELIEVE I have a talent for something. Maybe not in main courses... Desserts? Sweet treats? 

So Dad brought my brother and I out so we went to grab some baking ingredients for Chocolate Lava Cake!

Ingredients are the following:
  • All-Purpose Flour
  • Van Houten Baking Chocolate
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/4 spoonful of sugar
  • Unsalted Butter


The moment we reached home, I was quite excited to start baking! 

So is my brother too! :) 


And this is definitely our life. We totally depended on it to weigh how much ingredient was needed. 


So after some mixing & preparation, the mixture was ready!
Poured into the ramekins and there was still quite a lot of leftovers!

Already looking yummy & delicious! 


We didn't fill it to the top because the lava cake would rise throughout the baking process.


After 15 minutes.............
Ta-daa! Our Pride & Joy :)



And my verdict is it was really chocolate-y! But it wasn't too sweet and it actually tasted really awesome!


Just in case you're wondering, my brother lent me his Canon EOS 1100D for the above photos :)
Some photos I took with his 1100D.

I love this shot of Dear! 

Caught a crab! (But I wouldn't dare to eat it.. Caught it at Changi Beach) 

 Love this shot :) It's actually just a pot of Mummy's money plant. Love the focus!


Now, back to my birthday post!
This year, I have to admit that I haven't been a good friend to anyone.. I think I have even neglected some. Maybe it's because I'm bad at prioritizing people in my life. But nevertheless, I'm glad I have made the decision to keep some people in my life, and stayed away from some.

I guess it's just part of growing up. 


Anyway, Dear surprised me with a rather early birthday present!!!
I found it on my study desk when he sent me home. 

:') SO TOUCHED. Almost to tears, in fact. I think it's the first time he's written a heartfelt letter? Hahaha. 

 And yes.. My gorgeous Agnes B wallet! These 2 colours have gotta be my favourite combination :)


On my birthday itself, I had to work :( Dear couldn't take leave cos it was a Friday..
It started out as a really bad day actually. 

I woke up really late, my handphone had no battery and I couldn't start it at all, (my phone was off the entire day), I was having a bad hair day, bad face day, I looked fat, my parents looked like they weren't bothered with me, etc.

I was thinking... this must be the worst birthday of my life. 

But thankfully, my SPH staffs were very nice & they surprised me with a birthday chocolate fudge cake!!!!!!!!!!!
I was so surprised because I didn't expect them to do so they are definitely the sweetest :)

And knowing that I love chocolates so much.. They really bought a cake FILLED with chocolate. It was soooooooo good!

Groupshot with Mama VJ 

VJ & Lisa! 

Love y'all :) 

And yes, my favourite buddy!


After work, Dear ended work at 6pm too and came by to pick me up!

From a distance, I wasn't sure if it was him in the car because the person was wearing formal... and had gelled hair!

To my pleasant surprise, it was Dear!!!
I thought he was wearing his chef outfit (HAHAHA) but it was him... all dressed up for me. From what I've known, I've never seen him in formal, always t shirts/polo shirts and bermudas. 

And he looked so HOT & SEXY in his formal shirt. hahaha.
I couldn't keep my eyes off him the entire night though....... Oops


Anyway he was rather sneaky and mysterious about where we were about to go...
He refused to reveal/drop any hint at all :(

Look at my hot man!


He drove into Sentosa and I was getting a little excited already.. Hahaha.
However, we got a little lost but GPS saved our lives :)

So the place he wanted to bring me for dinner was Tanjong Beach Club!
In fact, he had already made a reservation 3 months ago........ :') I could die from all the sweet surprises that everyone has sprung on me that day.

We were seated outside at the beach which was really romantic..

 Romantic dinner by the beach~

Thank you dear.. You have no idea how blessed I am to have you in my life :') 

:) 

Love this shot even better! 


Ordered Moscato to start the awesome night.. :)

This is the life yo! Loved the idea of having white wine by the beach :)

The man whom have redefined the definition of love~ 


Loved this shot of myself.. Hahaha. Good hair & face day here :p (Sorry I'm contradicting myself hehe) 

Took this shot using the self-timer :) 

Our food! 


We ordered Foie Gras Kaya Toast, (okay it sounds really weird.. but the combination is fucking awesome!) Grilled Snapper :)


Grilled Snapper 


Yes we had the whole beach to ourselves..

Anyway back to the food, the combination of foie gras and the slight sweetness and fragrance of kaya goes super well! with the toast of course.. It's a must try! :) 


We finished within 15 minutes & we were rather full..


 Red face from the wine :p

After clearing our plates, the staffs suddenly came back with a mini cake............
I totally went, "OMG!" 
Haha, my "OMG" moment for the 2nd time in the same day.

With a message :) Anyway it was a chocolate brownie cake with vanilla ice cream on top of it.. My second serving of cake filled with chocolate goodness! Hehe 

Awesome night thanks to him :) 

Thanks..  :')


After dinner, it started drizzling, so we went back to my house.. and Mum had actually bought a Durian cake for me!!!!!!

Okay I have this obsession with durians so Daddy and Mummy bought a durian cake for me!! :)
In fact, they spent the entire day looking for the best birthday cake ever :')


So this year's birthday I had 3 birthday cakes in total! 
Hehe guess I grew fatter but all for the right reasons :)


Would like to thank everyone for all the birthday wishes.. Even friends whom I haven't been in contact with for a few years also wished me for my birthday :') I took quite sometime to reply everybody's messages because I was out the whole day and my phone was spoiled at the wrong time zzz. Thanks to my close friends for the birthday treats, meetups and many more! You guys have no idea how much I love y'all.. Definitely keepers!


And my family who never fail to stand by my side, support all my decisions, loved me unconditionally, showered me with so much care and concern and tolerated all my nonsense and crap for these 19 years..

And Dear, who made such great efforts to make me feel like a princess all again.. who always tries his best to make me the happiest girl in the world everyday, and for loving me despite my wilful character.. 




THANK YOU, everyone.
