Christmas Eve 2012
written on 3 Jan 2013 @ Thursday, January 03, 2013 ✈
Since I was a kid, I've always loved Christmas because there's cartoons, candy canes (though I don't get to eat them coz my family don't celebrate Christmas and we were kinda poor to indulge in the festivity), Christmas songs, snow in the movies they play on tv, it's a Public Holiday, although it doesn't make much of a difference to me since it was the school holidays anyway, and my dad will come home from work and bring back party packs as he works in the hotel F&B line and usually hotel cafes will have party packs. That was my favorite part. The party packs and my sis and I will exchange mini presents with each other.
The joy of being a kid.
Grown up and all, I still love Christmas, because I know of a deeper meaning to it. I attend church and understood it's the birth of Jesus Christ that we are celebrating for, the season of love and joy and giving. Christmas is pretty much a hyped up affair and yes, I still equate it to snow and hollies, fireplace and presents.
Christmas is my favorite season of the year, and each year I look forward to it.
Being with dear gave me a chance to experience family Christmas celebrations I never had as his family does celebrate Christmas and there'll be Christmas tree, Christmas dinner, and presents.
Above all these, it's the companionship and his family's close relationships that makes my heart fire up with joy.
I love them all, including his grandma, uncles, aunties and cousins.
Last year, kinda strange to use 'last year' since it's still quite recent, haha, we celebrated Christmas over at Grand Mercure.
This is the hotel lobby. Beautiful house that makes me wanna eat it. Ok, compose girl and don't do embarrassing stuffs.
Is my sequin dress pretty? It's from ASOS. My clutch is from YSL, shipped from UK.
This is dear's grandma, at age 93 I think?
Another favorite part of Christmas is having sweet treats. But after which I will have to exercise to burn them all off.
A group photo of everyone. Missing peeps are Linda and Pauline. Linda's with her husband Flo in Germany and Pauline is with her bf overseas as well. Petrina, Dexter and Michelle. All 4 girls. Me, Mich, Sheena and Petrina.
Back at dear's place. His family has this tradition to take family photos during Christmas and Chinese New Year. We took plenty of photos but I like this the most.
As you can see, most of the time we pose like this. Smile and that's it. For the photo below, I helped them to take and I asked them to do a fun pose! Dear as usual, being the 'cool' guy, refused to do a fun pose, but even his dad, who is usually more of the serious type of man had fun doing it too! So after 3 persuasions asking dear to come up with a pose, this is what appeared....... I hope they are all very happy!! It was around 11 plus and we watched Michael Buble's Christmas edition on tv while waiting for the clock to strike 12. Yay it's midnight! We got the presents under the tree and placed them all together... This is what I got from his family. Wow! A Samsonite laptop bag! It's so pretty and useful for my work! Love it! Super heros for dear from his family? Lol!
We got Mich a River Island clutch and a DKNY scarf.
His mum a Bobbi Brown blusher and DKNY scarf.
I got for dear...
A Ted Baker messenger bag.
We got his dad a Vinturi red & white wine aerator.
Back in his room...
He gave me my present...
Did you guys notice that both of us got each other a Forever Friend's Xmas card? This is called hearts joined as one. Lol!!!!
Woohoo! A blue box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tiffany & Co.
I wanted this charm bracelet since what, in the early 2000s? But I've never bought it coz I feel that it's kinda expensive to buy just silver. But I got my wishlist fulfilled!! I'm a happy girl!
Thank you darling, you know me best and will go all lengths to make me happy. :)
I hope each and everyone of you have enjoyed your Christmas and greater things to come in 2013! XOXO! Labels: blue box, buffet, christmas, forever friend, grand mercure, hotel, messenger bag, samsonite. laptop bag, ted baker, tiffany and co 0 comment[s] | back to topHappy New Year!!!

Yes, happy new year to all of you! I'm soooooooooooooooooo happy to step into a new year, because for once, I don't feel that it's a drag, but more of a year of wanting things to happen. I never believed in New Year Resolution because I hardly keep them. But this time, I did make a list, wrote it down some more, in my Bunny notebook. There are quite a number of things in the list though, but I'm not gonna share here. Be a lil' secretive and let's see by the end of the year what have I achieved. I haven't had the mood to blog for a while because it's December! What horrible excuse is this? December is a month of rest and fun and self-delared holiday!!! Today when I checked back on my blog, I realise it's been one full month I left my blog to collect cobwebs. Ah. Sorry! What have I done in December? Let's see. Did Xmas shopping, do up Xmas Collection for Montrose Desires, the 20 something part was the busiest because starting from 22 Dec, it was my family's Xmas dinner, 23rd was BBQ at dear's place, 24th Xmas eve celebration with dear's family at Grand Mecure, 25th Xmas dinner at dear's place, 26 rest. 27th my mummy's birthday dinner. 28-30 rest. 31st Countdown Party. This is call EXTREME HOLIDAY MOOD. So January started. 1st Jan spent almost full day in bed coz I only reached dear's place (slept over at his house) at around 5.20am. You know when was the last time I reach back home at that hour? I don't even remember. That's how long it has been. Today 2nd January, I started working on Montrose again. Bugged people who are supposed to get back to me on stuffs (sorry!!!!) coz there's been a delay on the revamp of the site. It was supposed to be done by Xmas eve, and now we've stepped into 2013 already still the website is not up yet!!! So anyway, I found a wee bit of time to blog and so I'm here. I checked on my Nuffnang and it's earning me money. No doubt a little slow la, but oh well, coz I've not been blogging so how to get people to come to my blog right? No one to blame but that lazy ass of mine. Haha... I shall upload some photos of the Christmas I had ok? If I upload all it's crazy number of photos, considering I take photos like a mad woman. I meant I click without thinking too much, so I always end up with alot of photos. 22 Dec Family dinner at Furama The Square. I love this place! Food is super, ambience is awesome. With my beloved family. My present's from my sis, and all of them are holding presents from dearie and I. A shot with dearest.
See what my sis got me? Super girly iPad case from Forever New!!!! It's so meeee!! Pretty la.
Cheers to ice-cream.
This has got to be my favorite photo of le bf and me.
My parents are oh so cute!
We got my sis a River Island long wallet, my mum a Bobbi brown eye palette and Dad a Crocodile polo. 23 Dec BBQ! Praise the Lord for giving us awesome weather that day. NO RAIN and not too hot. Thanks to Jerm who came early to help set up the fire. He did a great job!! And he's the chef too apparently.
At the same time we celebrated the 2 December babies birthday.
Us girls. Clockwise from top: Ying, Esther, Fiona, Elaine, Me, Weiting. Sorry Kelly, you left early and we didn't manage to take a photo :( The boys. Clockwise from top: Chee Boon, Weiqiang, Kelvin, Jia Wang, Peck, Tony, Jeremy, Mark baby and Kin. All of us had a fantabulous time! You guys were great companions! We should make this a yearly affair. The rest of the days I shall share it on a separate post as I gotta go soon! Have a cheery 2013 and keep your eyes peeled to Montrose Desires website revamp!
