Christmas wind in my face.

The season to be jolly is back again! :D
Definitely my favorite season of the year!
Mm.. there seems to be something wrong with blogger today..
so I guess this will just be a short post :)


I'm finally (almost) done with my Christmas shopping!
The above shows just some of the many goodie bags I've packed for colleagues.
Got them Elf's lip glosses from Smoochiezz.
In any case, Smoochiezz's range is AWESOME and cheap!
But their office's at Toh Guan, which is really out of the way if you ask me.
And it's an industrial area.
However, the amount of things found there is amazing.
I got some Elf, NYX and OPI products for myself and mumsie too. hee :)

And I finally decided to have a hair cut today.
Look at the amount of hair chopped off.
(I have deliberately took the photo with my foot there for comparison.)


Haha! Everytime I go to my hairdresser, he will always trim off THIS much.
I didn't try anything drastic this time though.
Initially wanted to try the soft rebonding which Beatrice did.
But I realized that they only curl the bottom to get that "curl-in" look.
This means anything above that, they don't rebond at all!
And for that, it will cost me $280.
So I figure I can blow dry the locks myself every morning to get that curl-in look.
And oh boy, I'm sure glad I chose this option!
My hair now looks natural and quite nice :))
No need for any sort of maintenance.
Will post a photo soon when I get a chance to take any pics :)

Tomorrow is the start of a crazy awesome Christmas week!
I hope all my Christmas gifts will arrive on time! *keeps finger crossed
Funnily enough, I think I bought most of the gifts online this year!
haha! But the bad part is.. you never know if they will arrive on time.
In any case, I'm already feeling all prepped up for this year's Christmas! :D

Till the next, bye!

Delicious December is here!



Finally back for an update, and Dec is already here :D
Definitely my favourite month of the year.
Have gone for a few events, and shall try to list them in chronological order.

Global Kitchen Buffet (Pan Pacific Singapore)
Had gone there as an R&R organizer for my company.
The ambience of the Global Kitchen was pretty nice,
where there are different kinds of seating arrangement to cater to different grp sizes.
Food-wise, I think it wasn't anything fantastic.
Being a seafood lover, I'm more picky about the spread of seafood.
If I have to choose, I'd pick Pan Pacific Orchard's Ocean Feast over this buffet anyday.
However, taking in consideration that this is a one-for-one buffet,
I do think it's still a pretty good deal,
considering that there were plenty of interesting cooked food being available.


Brunetti (Pic shown above)
Oohhh! This place is awesome!
Being a huge fan of sweet stuff,
the sight of all the french desserts made my heart go aflutter :P
haha! A little overdramatic, but yes, the desserts were awesome.
My all-time favourite macarons were on our platter as well.
There were also cheesecake, which was rich and moist,
strawberry tart with some custard filling, blackforest cake,
and some other pretty things which we couldn't resist ordering!
Hehe, thanks to Serena for the lovely treat!


Food events aside, I had visited Dinosaurs Live exhibition
and attended my first year-end party of the year.
Dinosaurs live was pretty well-done if you ask me.
But I had gone there, with an eye out for work related issues.
Hence, I paid attention to details more than just the overall picture,
and I was pretty impressed by how all the different components came together.
For instance, the exhibition had life-sized dinos (which I know cost a bomb),
plus they were selling education materials such as a passport, pri & sec school booklets.
The passport was a good way to make sure people pay attention to details of each dino.
There was also the augmented reality part,
where high-tech is weaved in to show a different outlook to the dinosaurs.
You can see T-Rex bursting out of the poster and roar at you through iphone/ipad,
and to have the dinos on your hand through iphone/ipad as well.
Really cool, if you ask me.
And I'm very excited to see how I can weave all the ideas for my work area.
But for the boy, he wasn't that impressed.
Well, for one, we finished the exhibition in about half an hour. lol!
The venue is kind of small, and felt a little cramped.


Other than the Dinos event, I had gone for my ex boss's party yesterday!
It definitely exceeded my expectations, and I'm so glad I went :D
He had a karaoke room, and we sang (rather, screamed) our hearts out.
It's so fun to do that in a big group of crazy people. hehe.
No one was really singing into the mic, rather, everyone sang out really loudly. haha!
Backstreet boys, 98 degrees, Westlife, Blue, The Corrs, BBMak, SClub7 songs.
Gosh, now they all seem so old-school!
But everyone in the room could sing these songs :D
Also played mahjong for a while before calling it a night.
Really thoroughly enjoyed myself, and realized how much we miss our ex-boss.
He is one humble man, with no airs around him.
I sure hope that the new boss won't deviate too much... :))


With the festive season kicking in..
I got my first present already! :D



It's not really for Christmas,
but Daddy and Mumsie got me an ipad2 as an early bday gift :D
This was one present which I was very much looking forward to receive,
cuz it will come in handy for my upcoming work :D
But for now, it's making me very happy with the many games I'm already addicted to!
Hehe, Dream Park and Sims Freeplay are soooo fun! :D

And ohoh! Jetstar is having its 7th birthday celebrations,
where there's a really good deal of 1-for-1!
The best part is, I finally convinced my mumsie to go Hong Kong with me.
16 - 19 April 2012, HK, here we come!
2012 seems set to look like a really fun year too :D


Till the next, have an awesome weekend ppl!
