New Year in the Chinese Calendar

Happy Chinese New year to all

I did not do much visitation this year as something unlucky happened to me on the 3rd day of Chinese New year. Since then, I have been staying home. Daddy dearest is feeding me very well. He will ask me what I want to eat for lunch the next day. Don't think I will miss Singapore food for a while. 

I love how Chinese New Year bring all the families together, even the extended families. Eating and gambling together, bickering and teasing non-stop, regardless of age. Oh, and drinking together. Best part is learning new drinking game from my cousin. She is damn good. Every new year, I will force her to teach me new game (usually it will involve using playing game). I also love Lo Lei, minus the mess of course. 

How is your Chinese New Year so far? I hope you are having a good time. =D

Carnival

Carnival, one of my favourite place to go. The food, the rides, the games and the people. Laughter all around and it is contagious( maybe with a bit of alcohol). I remember, when I was younger, my parent brought my siblings and me to carnival, or what we called funfair. It was like heaven. I still remembered eating all the cockles in the funfair. I have no idea why, but that's the most memorable for me of the carnival.

When I was in Brisbane, they had Ekka. I love love love it. They have animals as well! Oh, when I found out Melbourne has Royal Melbourne Show, I planned my trip according to the timeline, so that I could go. I love all the soft toys I won.

Guess what, there is a carnival in Hong Kong right now too. It is hosted by AIA. It is called AIA Carnival I think. Of course I went.  I had a good time there. I love thrill rides! I took a few videos of the rides there( remember to turn your volume unless you want to hear people screaming their lung out).









I took the ride shown in the 3rd video. Only the first 15 seconds was thrilling. After that, I just wished the ride could end earlier. My neck was killing me. The pressure of the ride basically killed my body. This is what old age is about. I used to be able to play this kind of rides non stop. Now, I only lasted for 15 seconds, one five! Seriously!

Too bad, there is no cockles for me to relive the memories. But still, I had fun running around the carnival.

My wins for the night!

Online shopping

Couldn't sleep as usual, thought I do some online browsing for CNY clothes (Can't wait to go back to Singapore). I am a fan of big bang theory if you must know and Penny(in this show) wore the prettiest red dress!!!

Might not be a flattering photo but i really like her. And the dress she wore. Guess what, it is sold out(not like I will spend that kind of money but still)!

I am trying not to repeat the mistake of last minute shopping(and getting reprimanded by my mum for it), so I am doing online shopping. I have a love/hate relationship with online shopping given that 50% of the time, I can't fit into the clothes I bought. Well, all I need now is luck I guess.  

Hello 2015

My Holiday lasted for 2 weeks back in Singapore. It was good to celebrate Christmas and New Year back home. All the food I had, just thinking about them make me drool. I wished I can bring all the hawker food over. BCM(all time favourite), carrot cake, ban man, fried oyster, BBQ stingray with sambal, Yakun coffee and toast, and the list goes on and on. I was planning to run a lot of shopping errands but in the end, I did nothing. No time, no time. I miss Singapore.

Other than spending time with the family, I was helping out in one of the friend's wedding. Despite murphy laws rearing its head a couple of times, I had fun.

Lastly, have a blissful marriage. =)

Happy New Year

I was looking forward to wishing everyone Merry Christmas on this space but before I know it, it is already New Year! Time really pass us by so fast.

Anyway we are in 2015 now, and hopefully everyone will have a good year ahead.

Happy 2015!!!

Christmas is around the corner

Guess what! I decided to decor the house up a little. Bought a stencil to improve on the letters. Still need some improvement but good enough for me. I found doing this very therapeutic, it takes my mind off any problems that are bothering me. 

Tadaaaa! 

I like how it turn out. If only I know how to cut out nice Christmas tree, next time hopefully.

Somebody That I Used To Know - Gotye feat. Kimbra

I am currently hooked on this song. I am slow I know. This song is just so intriguing.
