New Year's Eve

Lalala we have come to the last day of 2016. Can you imagine the year 2016 is coming to an end in a few hours time? Usually towards the end of the year, most of the people will be reviewing their resolution of the year and see if they actually achieve it, but for me I have not set any resolutions except to live everyday like the very last day and enjoy life :) 

It's the cousin Liyuan's wedding today over at Orchard Hotel Singapore and the girlfriend is joining me and the family to attend the wedding lunch. We have attended a number of weddings together as a couple and I can't wait to have a wedding of our own :)

And so after the wedding lunch we drove back home and rest for awhile before heading out with Tessa. Drove to Shaw Tower to park the car so that we can avoid the road closure and traffic congestion over at Esplanade and Marina area. Lalala took Tessa on a walk from Shaw Tower to Connaught Drive where there are stalls selling food and merchandise for today. What a challenge walking Tessa and hiding her in a bag when we had to cross the road via the MRT underpass due to all the road closure tonight. 

So happy to finally reach here after a close to 20 minutes walk due to all the human traffic and road closure. Tessa is so active today too even though we have to constantly carry her up and hid her in the bag whenever we have to walk down the underpass. Lalala enjoying the breeze walk along the Esplanade Park together with the girlfriend and Tessa. Head over to the open field outside the Victoria Theatre @ Concert Hall where there are free movie screening today. Lucky I brought along a picnic mat so we can sit down and enjoy the movie :)

And so after a long walk and movie under the stars, the year 2016 is really coming to an end. So happy to be here with the girlfriend and Tessa today. What a yikai day to be able to relax over here and enjoy the fireworks and not squeeze with majority of the people at the Esplanade or Marina area. 

Happy New Year everyone :)

Boxing Day 2016

Woke up early morning to prepare and head over to Hotel Jen @ Midpoint Orchard to join the girlfriend for a swim at the hotel's swimming pool. Hehe actually I can't wait to head out and be near to the girlfriend :) 

I love the swimming pool here which guarantees a scenic view of the town area as well as the Marina Bay Sands from a distance. I love how the hotel actually provides lots of bean bags for the hotel guests and the security personnel on duty was friendly too as I see him smiling to basically everyone. Awesome hotel for staycation as compared to the catastrophic M Social hotel which the girlfriend initially book. Can't say I'm really impressed by Hotel Jen. Awesome, just awesome :)

Head over to Orchard which is just within our reach from Hotel Jen for a walk and enjoy the Public Holiday (Boxing Day) today. Everywhere was so packed with people and walking around seems so hard lol but I rather surround myself with people during the festive season :) 

Merry Christmas to You 2016

Hohoho Merry Christmas everyone out there, it's the time of the year again and it's my favourite holiday of all. Always been a fan of Christmas because of the beautiful decorations and Christmas songs being played in every shopping malls. It's always the season where we see lots of people sharing their love for one another by giving to the less fortunate people. Once again Merry Christmas to you, let's spread more love and not war.

Meet up with the girlfriend for dinner over at Mr Kim Korean BBQ together with her mum and sis today. Yummy yummy spicy chicken and pork though I would love to have some ice cream to end the day, other than that I think it's really good. After our dinner we head over to Orchard to walk around the area and take some photos before going back to their hotel at Hotel Jen @ Midpoint Orchard to chillax before I head back home. 

Christmas Eve

It's been so long since I updated our blog because I've been so busy with work and other stuffs. So happy that I can finally have some free time to sit down and update our blog hehe. Head out to Ang Mo Kio Hub with the girlfriend today to pay the premiums for our insurance as well as have our lunch.

Went over to Orchard Road to walk around with the girlfriend today and do some shopping. Managed to buy some new shirts for work at G2000 where there's discount of up to 50% or more. Got my shirt for just $29 instead of $39 when I purchased 2 pieces and the usual price of that one shirt is $69. Furthermore with the wt+ member and minimum of 3 pieces, I get to enjoy an additional 15% off too.

Finally got to taste the Bake cheese tarts after queuing for 30 minutes

Went back to Ang Mo Kio as the girlfriend is gonna dye her hair today. Few hours later and the girlfriend's hair is so nice now hehe :) Went over to Kovan to have our dinner over at 奇味鸡煲 because it's raining so heavily now that we got the feel for it hehe. So happy because our Christmas dinner is so yummy yummy.

Lego 75146 Star Wars Advent Calendar 2016 - Day 24

Day 24 which is the last of the Star Wars Advent Calendar brings us the Christmas edition of Chewbacca. Look who else drop by to visit too hohoho. Can't wait for Christmas ^_^

Christmas in the office

Yeah we're having our department's Christmas lunch today at Ash & Char which is just opposite of our office which is great since not much walking is required hehe. Ordered the Chicken Thigh Confit and a nice warm cup of Cappuccino. The food here is just awesomely tasty, especially the char siew that literally smelts in your mouth.

Received a couple of presents from the colleague from the other department, as well as our bosses. To be honest, I kinda miss receiving the Ferrero Rocher chocolates as my annual Christmas presents hehe. 

So basically there are no Christmas gifts exchange in the office for this year as there are way too many colleagues who are on annual leave and there is no one single day where everyone is around for us to do that. Anyway there are so many movements and things that happened recently that I don't have the feel for it either so I guess it doesn't really makes any difference too. How I wish things will be better in time to come. 

Lego 75146 Star Wars Advent Calendar 2016 - Day 23
