Wednesday
Merry Xmas to everyone!
メリークリスマス



Ok, here are the presents which I've received from my friends!
Excited!


Pressies!


Shu Uemura Makeup base & Remover from Atiqah AND GUESS bracelet from Eugene.


Tory Burch Earrings from Fel.


Hello kitty with my birth date from my cousin.


Bought this Juicy Couture bangle for myself (:

Spent my Christmas day at the funeral.
It's the last night so all of us have to be there for the mass chanting.

Decided to stay overnight so that we don't have to rush there in the morning.

Wanted to play mahjong but there's no players.
Boring to the max.

Quote of the day:


I really miss the Christmas celebration with my poly mates.
Have been celebrating with them for 3 years and this feels weird.

Had an argument.
Just very upset...

因为太在意，所以更伤心。
我要学如何笑着当做没一回事。不可以随便在别人的面前流泪.

Thursday
Gastric pain and feeling tired.
Trying to use redbull to stay awake.

Lots of crying etc.
Fortunately, there wasn't any fainting case.

Mummy sent me to work before heading back home.

Worked at level 1 just when I was feeling damn tired.
Well done.

Once I’m with you, I’m with you.
Nobody else matters.

Friday
Headed to town to buy sushi for my hungry ghost.
Someone is growing fat already. LOL.



Went out to buy more food.
Waited at Pub Magician while the staff helped me order food.

Clever; 
Chose to wait at somewhere comfortable. HAHA.

Tired night.
Went back home and went out again.

Yesterday
Had a good sleep and lunch (:
But I was still feeling tired (What's new. LOL).


Feeling bored while waiting for time to pass.

Was thrown downstairs to work.
Sian max.

Nothing much, just a bad day at work.

Today
Last Sunday of 2013.

Went out for dance as usual.
Can't feel my legs after class.

Met Andrew at City Hall and we went to MBS together.
Altered the belt's length and met Fel and Yichang.

We walked through Garden by the Bay to SATAY by the bay.
DINNER TIME!


Our hungry ghost portion!

After dinner, we walked around the place.
My first time! haha.


Piggy back!


Thank goodness that I always have the habit of wearing safety shorts. LOL.




The unglam couple. HAHAHA.


The awesome foursome!



After that, we went ahead to Beer market for some drinks.
And we continued eating.


Kirin!


The yummy chicken wings!


Mr A just love to take photo of me eating my food.

My last Sunday of the year was great. 
More fantastic Sundays to come when the new year starts.


With baby girl looking sooooo cute.

With love,

TAIWAN - DAY 2

DAY 2
Almost couldn't wake up for breakfast. HAHA.

This hotel has good reviews on the breakfasts. It's like those home cooked style.


Our breakfast !

First stop of the day; City god Temple 霞海城隍庙. 
It's famous for tourists or even local to go there to pray for a good marriage/relationship.

It's pretty near to the place where we stayed at.

People usually pray to the "Old man under the moon" aka 月下老人, which will give you a red string if the person you prayed to be with is suitable for you.

Xia Hai City God Temple:
No. 61, Dihua Street, Section 1
迪化街 1段 61号


The exterior of the temple.

I went there to pray, hoping to have a good relationship and everything will go fine for my ever complicated case. Love can't be forced, but I'm just hoping that god will answer to my prayers.

We even got the amulet from the temple and it's quite cute (:

After that, we took a cab to Taipei Main station then took a train to Zhong Xiao area (忠孝) to shop. Before that, we went to the Hello Kitty Sweets Cafe, wanting to have our lunch there.

Unfortunately, we gotta leave one person's name then head back at 1:30pm.

Note to Travellers: It's really packed. So better make a reservation to avoid the long queue.

Hello Kitty Sweets:
No. 90, Section 1, Dà'ān Road, Taipei.
大安路 1段 90号
Tel: 02-2711-1132


Cute looking cakes!


Outside the shop. 


Interior of the shop with hello kitty chairs. 

We went to SOGO for shopping. Time to buy cosmetics from brands like NARS, Jill Stuart etc,


Cute clock (:


First time seeing a LIZ LISA shop. 

The things at LIZ LISA are really pretty but their prices are even "prettier". One hair band can cost SGD 40. It's way too expensive.

I don't mind spending on the clothes though. LOL.

Mummy, uncle and my sisters left SOGO and went to the cafe first while JJ and I stayed back to buy things. Bought an eyeshadow from Jill Stuart and a blusher from NARS.

We even went to SASA to buy some stuff. It's very different from the ones in SG. More varieties.

Ok, Back to the cafe.


Hello Kitty table mat. 


Salad. 


Hello Kitty buns!


Appetiser; Smoked Salmon. 


Baked rice!


My sister's meal; cute burger right? XD


And it's dessert time. 

The food there are mostly sold in set meals and it's really affordable. Each person will just need to spend $20 + to eat all this!

And I did tried Foie Gras in the cafe. Didn't know what's that till J told me back last year. LOL.

Indeed quite nice but I think it'll be nicer if there's some biscuit to eat with (like what my friends told me).

After lunch, uncle went back first and the rest of us went walked to Eslite book store. Books sold there are quite cheap, just that most of them are in Chinese.

I can read my novels in Chinese but I'll die from reading all sorts of books written in Chinese. LOL. It's hard to find English books there.

Note to travellers: We tried to the Miniature Museum to find that it's close on Monday. No choice, we gotta go back there on another day.

We went back to hotel and rest till dinner time.

Here's my loots of the day;


Jill Stuart Eyeshadow, eye cream and the sample for the compact powder. 


NARS blusher. 



Opened them after I reached home. NARS in Orgasm, Jill Stuart Eye Shadow in Pink Cameo and my eye cream. 


Bought these from SASA. Eye masks, U pins and sponges. 


2 novels; Vampire Hunter and some detective novel. 


The amulet from the City god temple. 

At night, we went to this 川巴子火锅楼 for steamboat. It's somewhere at Da An district. The cab uncle dropped my sisters and I at somewhere further away from the shop.

We ended up walking there. Luckily, I got my 3G to view the map =.=


Spicy steamboat. I never like it. HAHA. 

Mummy asked me to eat the duck's blood. It tasted like luncheon meat. HAHA.

We went back after dinner. Didn't eat much so I ended up buying fries, fried chicken and beer up to the hotel room.


Beers! Love those with fruity flavours. Haha. 

The beers are cheaper than Singapore. 3 cans for less than SGD 10? around there.

Ok, that's all for DAY 2!

Shopaholic!

Chalet + School + Work (:

Tuesday
Again, I couldn't wake up for the first lecture . Haiz, just when will I wake up early ?!

Anyway, class ended early. I went back to Tampines to walk around before going back home . I bought a BB cream after considering for very long.

It's the famous Skin79 BB cream. It has arrived in Singapore in May or June . Of course, it's definitely more expensive than buying in Korea .

Kind of regretted that I didn't ask mummy to buy for me .


I bought the Gold one .

Indeed, the pink ones attract me. Still, I have to use the one that is suitable for my skin. Who ask me to have dry skin...

I will write another review on base makeup soon (:

Yesterday
Again, it's the shortest school day of the week .

I rushed back home after school so that I can go to nursing home to visit my great grandmother . She has been lying there for 3 years .

I haven't been visiting her for quite some time since mummy wasn't free. No choice, if she never work, where does the money come from ?

When I looked at my fragile great grandmother, she seems skinnier than the previous time when I visited her. She is using the oxygen supply to breathe.

It's really sad to see your family members, relatives or friends to be in such state. I may not be close to her but I still feel upset.

After visiting her, we went to have our lunch before going to my grandmother's house . Geeee, I don't get to buy KOI bubble tea before going there .

Ah ma cooked alot of nice food . It's yummy ! and I got to see Daddy at night . I didn't see him for at least 1 month already .

I love to see my family members to be happy (:

Today
I was damn tired that I slept throughout the practical .

After practical, we went to have our breakfast . I love hotcakes !


Hotcakes from McDonald's .

School supposed to end late but I rushed off to work . I worked at Chong Pang Camp with Lynn, Aki, Gillian, Isabelle, Jamie, Rebecca, Xing Yi, Jovin and Yvonne .

Thanks Jojo for the job !

After work, I followed Gillian to Marcus & friends' chalet . Thank Hangman for sending us there !

Actually, I didn't intend to go there as I thought I will be alone . But thank goodness that Gillian went with me and Yifang babe was waiting for me .

It's nice to see the 4 guys again and of course, meeting new people (:

Here are some of the photos from the chalet .


Ivy and I (:


Agnes babe and I .




Crazy Leon and I .


I know I got small eyes .


Gillian babe and Marcus.


Gillian, Agnes, Yifang, Marcus and Ryan.


Marcus and I .

It's such a pity that I didn't get to take photos with the others, including D .

I don't know why I feel quite of weird to see him again after 4 months. But still, it's great to see him there (:

The guys persuaded me to go to OCH with them . Since I don't want to stay alone at the chalet, I followed them .

I AM VERY SCARED ! It's not a 'famous' spot for nothing.

Luckily, Fang, D and another guy (I forgot his name) were there for me . In addition, the entrances are blocked and those unblock ones have motion sensors.

We ended up going back to the chalet . I was a little dizzy by then , all thanks to the mixed alcohol drink. LOL .

After awhile, I shared a cab with Fang and went home as I have school on the next day.

When I reached home, I saw my package on my bed !


I love mails !


and here's my new checkered romper !

Ok, that's all for now !

happy days !
