Chinese New Year in Singapore

Hello I'm back! As you know, I was in Singapore during Chinese New Year. It was a different experience as normally I celebrate CNY with relatives, and this year's more like shopping on a CNY. It was great that I can have a break from work!

However many shops were not open till the third day of CNY. 

I stayed two night at Marina Bay Sands
 The infinity pool. 

Like normal hotel, MBS gave us two room cards. To go to the infinity pool, you have to show your room card to enter, so it's like one card for one person, hence one room for two adults. We have five person here so I asked if we can get one more room card, and the receptionist said SGD$100 for a card *jaw drop* Nevermind then. So just an info for you guys la if next time you go to MBS. 


 Met up with Alex and we went to the MBS club- Ku De Ta. S$38 cover charge (selected days) inclusive a drink.
Since it's at rooftop, so the environment is pretty nice, windy and nice view. Lot's of ang moh too. 








The  next day we visited the Gardens by the Bay. Since it's a holiday, so the Q was quite long, but still okay. 

My fav part of the garden, the waterfall! The air is cool and fresh which Alex said "more like air con air" lol


Lego Rafflesia and pitcher plants.




The CNY decoration.




I introduce you a very nice dessert, Tai Parfait! It's from Japan. The fish part is the nicest, I don't know how to describe but the texture is just right. It's hot, soft and crispy. They have fillings in the fish too, like chocolate, red beans, etc. Red bean is the most popular one.

Sluuuurp!


We had Korean cuisine for dinner at Yoogane. It's not a BBQ but stir fried. Very interesting, very delicious loooo.


Glass noodles.


After that, chilled with Alex again at Ku De Ta. It was happening because an ang moh got pulled out of the club by few securities...scarily. =.= 



Then we went down to have a walk around MBS, watched a fountain show too, then went to the night market to grab foods.

Very nice bridge toward the night market. 


He was trying to make his face round. haha 


We went to Universal Studio on the third day. It was my third time and it wasn't that great. Damn, it's a bad timing to go on a public holiday. My second time there was during Christmas in 2012. The Q was worse than the Xmas I went. Most of the Q were more than an hour, even two hours! 

However the Transformer ride was our top priority, so we rode and the Q was around 2 hours. Faint. But worth it. 
My dad and two bros in 2011 and 2015. My lil brother is obviously taller! He's already taller than me.


During the rides.


We rode the Luge.


Sentosa Beach. Not much bikini girls, sad. 


Beautiful. At Sentosa.




A must-do before we left Singapore....
To eat Katong Laksa! Been craving for this. Apparently there are few Kotong Laksa restaurants in that area, of course, I wasn't sure which one I went last time. In the end we chose this la. This is a fast food style. The one I went with Ming Hwei was nicer! Because this 328 ran out of clams, and that's the most important ingredient in the laksa! Too unlucky.


But still yummmmy!


Then back to Brunei and these are the only CNY pictures. 



Watch my Malaysia and Singapore haul:

Short Getaway to KL- GEM 邓紫棋 XXX world tour.

Hello Hello Darlings! Chinese New Year is coming, so 恭喜发大财! My CNY is rather special this year because I'll be travelling to Singapore on CNY Day 1 for few days. 

Few weeks ago, I went for a short getaway to KL, Malaysia, as I got a sponsored ticket from a lucky draw. So it's a good chance for me to stock up my cosmetics and had a meet up for a business discussion. This trip is pretty rush, I have to settle everything in that 3D2N trip, as it's so hard to travel abroad now because....working lifeeeeee. *BOO* 

My shopping was quite rush too. I have to appreciate time and not stay too long at a shop. So there were times that I just hantam grab the no-trying-outfits, and the end of the day I realised I got few clothes which have a similar design =.= 

Since I was in KL, so why not watch the GEM's XXX concert!? Although I'm not a big fan, but she's a talented woman whose concert is worth to watch la. And me no regret, because the show was awesome, the songs were good, the effect was good. But I believe it would be better if it's in another country, like Hong Kong. In Malaysia, the resources are quite limited. 

Happy to see Hannah again. and also some of my classmates and tutors in the make up academy.  But due to the limited time, didn't have too much time to spend with them. 


I got myself a GEM shirt.



 The crowd



 She spoke too much Chinese. She asked if we speak Cantonese, the audience said Yes, then she spoke Canto. After she sang a Chinese song, she spoke Chinese again. Because she was famous in China, and a lot of shows she spoke Chinese, and maybe this caused her habit. 

Cantonese is so much nicer lo. Hong Kong artist wa, should speak Cantonese. 
Anyway, the show was still great. 


The next day, I had breakfast with the two Bruneian guys, at this famous Teo Chew Porridge restaurant. 
Located near Times Square, KL. You can ask around, the people know it well!

The pork was so good. 

It's not my first time dining in porridge restaurant in Malaysia. Actually M'sia has a lot of porridge restaurant which is yummilicious. 
Brunei should have one eh, so good for supper and breakfast.


 Lit How went for a tattoo. Actually, we planned to do it together. I asked my mom if she mind, I don't want to see her cry after I got inked, which gonna make me feel guilty. So she's fine with it. 
What about my dad? I guess he's fine with it, I didn't have the guts to ask him LOL. Why I think he's fine with it because he asked me few years ago if I wanna get inked. I was like "No way! so painful!"

Then recently, I just feel like I wanna get one. Just a small one. So I'll get it only when I'm fully ready. Oh man, this is gonna be permanent, I have to think twice, trice and frice. 


In M'sia must have happy hour right? haha 
This very nice place named Why Not at Changkat. Actually it's like usual bar la, but it looks super nice in this pic.


The Dick is very good in researching places to go, or maybe he's just good in researching hotels, I'm not very sure LOL So we went to visit this creative boutique hotel. It's owned by an artistic couple, they studied arts and created this hotel. I always like creative people, they always make something usual become very interesting. The wall is created by colour cups.

Welcome to WOLO.

The washroom is very cozy, I think I can have a good sleep inside. 


 This is the washroom label. Actually I don't really get it.
The Dick was talking about penis but I guess it could be Foods that goes in, must come out as a poo. 
So what it means?


 The cigar section.


This place is really artistic that made us kept taking pictures here and there. 

 Trying hard to selfie when he said "My turn!" He's obsessed with his new ink.


Sometimes life is too mainstream you just need to be 38 a bit.


 I know some people are gonna comment this, this is my space anyway. 
but....I look chio in that angle ^^ 


The receptionist treated us some WOLO refreshing drinks. He knew we were tired from taking pictures. haha


My fav photo of the trip. 


Watch the vlog of my trip with some GEM scenes:




Till next post. Smooooch! ^^

Happy 2015!

*Singing* Rudolph the red nose reindeer...*trying to make the holiday feel*

...Have a very shiny nose~~~ 

Trying to make some holiday feel so you have that mood to read the below haha.

I'm such an irresponsible blogger. So my new year resolution is to be a more responsible blogger ^^ *smile widely*. Writing is not hard, what's troublesome are the pictures editing and resizing. 

Christmas is always my all time favorite celebration. Because receiving gifts are happy, and of course it's awesome to get and send gifts to the loves too. I like buying gifts for individual, it always feel great.

What I don't enjoy that much is getting gifts for gift exchange. Damn, I don't even know who I'm giving to. I have to get something bisexual and for all age. But receiving gifts at gift exchange are always exciting and full of surprises.

My first gift for Arthur. It's a toy of shapes. From my research, it's good for babies. They would feel a sense of satisfaction and achievement when they put the right shape to the right hole. Yes, he likes it very much, I can see from his expression when he received that. :P


My family, although Buddhist, we actually celebrate every year as half of my family is ang moh-ish. We love Xmas and it's a good excuse to have a family gathering and fun.


 I got facial masks.

Our dress code is "FLORAL". I was thinking, what about guys?

Never thought guys can have a nice floral shirt too.
See his beh song face hahah



My big family ready for games!


Best dress of the night voted by the maids, because my grandma had a hard time choosing the Best Dress. She wanted to be fair. hehe


My cousin made these cute props. 



Celebrated at Ivan's house too. 

Got a red wine!


And also celebrated with my colleagues, more like company gathering la. So I had a Christmas marathon in 2014 :)



My gifts this year: Hello Kitty dustbin and floor mat from Carol, I got lots of facial masks this year, and also Instax printer from the Dick!


It's nice in reality. Because it's like a pearly bling bling white. It's a polaroid photo printer connected to your phone through Wifi. So you can print any pics from your phone!


I don't often celebrate New Year Eve but this year, I was able to shake my ass in the musics with my darlings in Miri.


So we went to Rooftop at Meritz Hotel, it was our first time and would be the last time. Still, Celebrities is better. Rooftop doesn't have enough feel like the club, the sound system wasn't as good as CB, the service was slow as the too crowded and the baristas couldn't cope, people were Q-ing and complaining, and the musics were not suitable for us. haha 

The music is electro, I still prefer bands and musics with lyrics. 

After 12am, after the fireworks, we went Celebrities for 2nd round.  

I like my hair that night, and my make up I did it much more heavier than usual but in the pics looks normal. 




Looking like some group artist music cover here, Westlife? hahaha



Met my long lost junior+ my-pretty-friend, May. 


with the en dao *lovey dovey eyes*



with the King Kong. 
(why the name? Because their sur name is King and Kong)

I wish 2015 is better than 2014, I wish my work, my dream, my relationship, my health and ding ding dong dong all go smooth this year and every year in the future. I wish my family and friends and all my darlings (I mean you all la) have a happy 2015 and be healthy, that's the most important. 

Happy New Year and stay tune for my next post SOON :)
