Thoroughly enjoyed myself this Chinese New Year! Besides all the ang baos, gambling, pretty new clothes, good food, i'm happy that i bonded with family members be it distant or not. This year i took the intiative to talk to more people instead of hiding in rooms and it made me a whole lot happier and more opened:)

Thank God for the great company, the many compliments and for this wonderful 2 days of fun:)

Hope you all had a great cny!

REUNION DINNER

Went to my mum's cousin's place! My uncle and aunt are young parents and they're really a good looking couple! Their house is mega huge and pretty and their kids are way beyond adorable:) What's more i just found out their from city harvest!

Walking on ice

2012-01-20T20:33:00.001-08:00

Went for ice skating at Kallang leisure park with Gladys and Justina who just came back from perth to visit Singapore wooohooo! It was a great time catching up with them and i definitely laughed a lot, thoroughly enjoyed myself:)

& i think i found a new liking for ice skating! Really fun and romantic for couples!

This girl made me laugh like crazy while she was learning to ice skate:

Ice skating wasnt all that tough, it was like roller blading to me just that its on ice... and i learned roller blading when i was younger so that gives an advantage i guess! Really envy all the little kids who were there who could skate so so so well!

Cupcakes

2012-01-20T20:33:00.000-08:00

Baked nutella cupcakes sometime last weekend and it was a success!!! Had so much fun baking and it tasted gooooooooood man(Y) The cupcakes turned out a little.... square-ish because i didnt have the cupcake tray but who cares abt how it looks like!

(Some of the designs were by my little brother so be a little... understanding okay hahaha)

Met Jiaying, Nikolette and Siying for lunch at cine but we ended up with nydc at wheelock hahaha and then we spend 5 hours roaming around orchard.

People watching with them outside Ion was fun, especially seeing weird people enter the LV store.

Legs are aching but had a good relaxing time with them! Got my favourite $1 ice cream too wooohooo!

Went for a 30cents pizza hut dinner with the Music in Motion crew wooohooo!!! Great company:)

Spend the entire Friday with @HANNAHTAYYY at Singapore poly's and Nanyang poly's open house!

This was the only picture we took:

Pretty light blue cotton candy wooohooo!:)

There were so many over age people who just went there for the free food and goodie bag hahaha

Had a great day catching up with her:)

Ikea AGAIN (went there 3 times this week!) for lunch with half the ikea gang, Desirae, Gladys and Hannah! Had a great time filled with laughters catching up with them:)

Spend 30mins deciding:

1) Which movie to watch

2) Where to watch

3) Whether to cab there or to take a bus

4) Whether we should save money on cab since we didnt know if there was student price

And finally we decided on watching 'War Horse' at vivo! And wow the movie was so so so good, so heartwarming and i really like it!!!

Its rated 4 stars upon 5 and everyone should go catch it!

Feel like watching it again even though it was 150mins long hahaha

Celebrated My chubby and cute little bro's birthday on thurs, 5th of Jan.

HAPPY 11TH BIRTHDAY IAIN RODERICK TAY!!!:)

Though you always annoy me and irritate the hell out of me sometimes, i really love you and treasure you!:)

This little boy fell sick on his birthday but we still had pizza hut for dinner!:D

Living the life

2012-01-04T04:33:00.001-08:00

All the students probably have started sch alr and some are probably still in sch as i type this (Adam khoo camp for sec 4/5s at smss hahaha), i'm here in Singapore just living the life during my holidays woooohooo! Its 6 days to results and i can't wait!

Just gonna update about what i've been doing this past week:

I finally packed my room(Y) Well, at least half of it!

It's really tiring, it could be my form of "exercise".

OFF to the galang guni for some $$$$!

Impromtu trip to ikea and xintian's house on Wednesday!

It was suppose to be my stay home Wednesday for me but NOOOOO i decided to go out again!

Ivie vs. ikea chicken. What a tough battle.

Went over to xintian's place just to chill and play with her dog, bubbles.

Took over a million shots (i'm exaggerating) just to get these 3!!! Dogs just cant, they just cant stay still!!! Oh bubbles is so cute!:)

Caught 3 movies:

1) New year's eve

Some movie critics gave the movie a rating of 5/5 while some gave 2/5. The movie was not bad to me, it was confusing at first but it became simpler at the end. It isn't exactly fantastic but i think this movie is suited more for couples since the director of the movie was the same for "Valentine's day".

2) We bought a zoo!

I like this movie because it was interesting. Even though its the typical heart warming movie abt family, it had funny bits here and there and was based on a true story!

'You only need to be brave for 20 seconds'

3) Alvin and the chipmunks 3

The movie was a disappointment. 1 and 2 were better!

Happy mid week everyone!

2012

2012-01-04T04:32:00.000-08:00

People always talk about changing, changing to be a better person on new year's day for new year but i dont believe in waiting for a new year just to change. We all should change, or at least try to change while we're at it.

Lifting up another year into God's hands that it will be yet another great year!:)

Countdown party with N467 over at William's place! When it hit midnight, we all screamed and made a whole mess. It was chaotic!

Started taking pictures like crazy hahaha i was so exhausted. Stole some pics from fb!

The smss girls<3

Bev's, Nicole's, Kimberley's polaroids.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!!!!!

Bye bye 2011

2011-12-30T05:18:00.000-08:00

Sorry if i've been posting excessively these few days! 2011 is going to end in about 2 days and i want to finish blogging all the things i want to blog about for this year.

You can always click "older post" below if you miss some of these post:)

We had a trumpet section mini Christmas party over at my place! Though only a few of us turned up i really had a fun and enjoyable laughing session with them:) We had gift exchange too!

Take a look at Siying's cock eye in this pic hahaha:

This effect enhances whatever area you're not satisfied with hahaha

My brother shouted "Vie vie look at my round head!" (Yes my nickname at home is vie vie)

HAHAHA

Okay this is probably gonna be my last post for 2011 because tmr's already new year's eve so i bet everyone out there will be partying and counting down to the new year right?

If you haven't made any plans, go do it NOW! The feeling of celebrating new year's alone isn't a very good idea. If you have no friends, just crash any random party alright?

Have a fun celebration everyone! I'll blog next year in 2012!

Went for a Buffet Lunch @ Open House Restaurant, Grand Park Orchard with the family! I always loved going for buffets, well partly cause of the food but other than that idk why its always so exciting!

But well this buffet i went to kinda sucks. You walk around to order your food, its somewhat like Mache but they had limited variety. Furthermore, the food wasn't even that good expect the pizzas. I liked their desserts though! PLUS THEY ONLY HAVE WATER. You had to pay extra for coffee/tea or any other drinks.

And i wasn't feeling well that day so that makes the food a whole lot less appetising. But anyway, i really enjoyed my family's company a lot:) I had so much fun!

Pizzas we tried:

This one was called the duck with lychee pizza:

Sounds gross but i think it was the best there!

The duck, char shao, roasted pork was quite good too!

They had dim sum but it was so so limited:(
