This year's Christmas day has got to be the most happening for me. I was invited to a house party hosted by my BFF on Christmas Eve and I organised a mini gathering with my family over at my place on Christmas day. 

Christmas Eve @ Yubo's house 
I was invited over for a Christmas day celebration over at Yubo's place. There were so much food, fun and laughter. Although I'm the one who didn't know anyone besides Yubo and Bernard, but I sort of enjoyed myself and I actually got to meet people from Yubo's poly clique (I've heard so much about them! Haha.). Oh well, the power of ice-breaking games like Monopoly Deal! (I sucked at it but I learned how to play that finally!)  
I think my favourite part was the gift exchange. We were given a budget of $20 to get a gift and it's strictly no food. So chocolates were off the list! Hahaha. That's a good rule to have innovative and fun ideas for gift. 

And this was what I wore to on Christmas Eve. My little black dress~ It's every girl's wardrobe essential and I got mine from New Look. When I saw it, I knew I need to buy it right away. It was love at first sight! 



All the presents for the gift exchange. Check out my gift, picked and wrapped by me! 

I got my gift from Yubo's cousin. It's a 20 dollar voucher from Coffee Bean and I'm so delighted that I think I got the best gift! (I LOVE COFFEE BEAN btw!) 

And.. Bernard got my gift! He's probably not gonna use it cause it's way to girly for him. It's a Rose body-wash gift set from Marks & Spencer. 

We had ice-cream log cake from Swensen's~ Yummy~



Christmas Celebration @ my place. 

This year's Christmas celebration at my home was organised by me! The reason why I suggested this family gathering on Christmas Day is because of all the endless rumour about the world ending on 21st December 2012.  I thought that if 21st December 2012 isn't World's End and we all managed to live through it, I'd want to have a celebratory feast with my family . (And yay, we survived!) 

I wanted to have this family gathering because these few years I've seen friends losing their parent or relative at such young age and earlier this year I experienced the pain of losing someone close as well.  
It made me feel that I'm very fortunate to have love, care & concern being showered by my family, and till today I still have my family with me. It makes me feel that I should cherish our time together more and that's why I felt that the gathering was essential. But most importantly, I didn't want anyone to be alone on Christmas Day. 
I was quite surprised that my mom and aunt were so supportive and everyone were so participative~ I'm really happy because everyone else is happy. 


My outfit for Christmas Day. Black top along with sequin skirt.


My granddad & grandma brought our favourite dish over to the party. Both yam are cooked in different style by my lovely grandparents.
Apparently, the yam was so tasty that it's such a waste if it fell on the ground. In my attempt of saving that piece of yam, I fell. It was really dramatic and my brother witnessed the whole scene before everyone burst into laughter. :S 

 Round container: Sugar coated yam Square container: Yam with fried shallop 

Sushi~ 

Salmon Sashimi. 

Pohpiah. If you're unfamiliar with this, pohpiah is actually fresh spring roll wrapped with bean sprouts  peanuts, prawn, egg and turnip. We got our package from Joo Chiat, the very famous pohpiah stall! 

Everyone enthusiastically rolling their pohpiah. 

Mom's homemade jelly for dessert. 

Macaroons from my aunt & uncle (Jaydee's parents.) 




Christmas log cake from Bakerzin, contributed by me & my bro.

Ending off with a family photo~ My grandfather loved the backdrop I put together! 

Thank you everyone who made this Christmas a little much different that past years. Thank you! Oh, I already have ideas for next year's Christmas. ;)

My All Time Favourite.

There is something in my closet that I can't help but to keep repeating and I will never get tired of... And that is the light washed chambray top.  The light washed chambray top is my current favourite piece in my wardrobe because I feel that it is so versatile and it can go with almost any clothing. It could be used as a good layering piece or even worn on it's own~ Paired my chambray shirt with this oxblood skater skirt.  Chambray shirt (Cotton On)//Oxblodd skater skirt (Cotton On)//Suede Fringe Bag (GMarket)//Espirit Watch (Mom's)//Thin skinny belt (Dorothy Perkins)//Bracelets (Hand-made)//Leopard hair bow (Diva) Wore my chambray shirt over a pastel orange skirt.  Chambray shirt (Cotton On)//Pastel orange skirt (ASOS)//Pastel bow hair clip (BKK)//Bag(Charles & Keith)// Espirit watch (Mom's)//Bangles (Lovisa) This time, I wore my chambray shirt as an outer wear with my favourite leopard dress. This leopard dress is also one of my favourit...

Hello! I'm back again after a week of intense revision for mid-terms for law. How have everyone been? This week had been hectic because of all the revision that I had to do, I hardly have time to sleep or even watch my favourite T.V shows. :S But all was good this week.. This was what I've been up to for the week. So thankful that the test went pretty well and I'm so done with it! Nail of the Week! If you know me well enough you'd know that I do manicures and pedicures myself. My favourite brand of nail polish is O.P.I even though I do use nail polishes from other brands as well. O.P.I will always be my ultimate favourite. These two colours are my current favourites and I've used the pink one consecutively two weeks. Left: NL M14 (I'm All Ears) & NL Z19 (Glitzerland) Both the colors are so beautiful that I couldn't make up my mind which to use. So I used both colors on the hands. Outfit of the week! This was what I wore to school on M...

Inspirations Coming at the Weirdest Timing.

Yes, it is another Urban Decay product.  I guess I'm someone who likes a certain product from a brand, I would perceive that brand as  good and would wanna try the other products from the brand. That's the case for Urban Decay. After owning a few products by them, I tend to have the urge to wanna sweep everything off their shelf when I'm at Sephora.  This purchase was done a few months back, haven't got the chance to post a review on it because I was stuck and I didn't know how to continue writing my content. God knows how many drafts have I accumulated till now.  I always have inspiration and ideas on what to write but then, sometimes it just wouldn't spark.  This box of eyeliner is somewhat an impulse buy, I went into Sephora without any intention to buy but once the word 'Sales' hit me. Damn, that's the keyword that all I ever need.  But oh well, I still didn't get a discount in the end because I forgot to flash my e-mail to ...
