Not a perfect human, and not pretending to be. But I am going to be the best version of me.: First Post- A summary of the end of 2014

I have actually intended to set up this blog somewhere after Christmas, but got a wee bit busy so this post will basically be on all the things I've done on Christmas up to New Year's Eve.

It has truly truly TRULY been one of the best Christmas season I've ever had.

Honestly, after going through one of the toughest periods in my life, I didn't expect anything much, even from my favourite holiday season. But it turned out to be one of the most magical and lovely holiday of the year with the bestest bestest people:)

Even though I know it sounds utterly ridiculous, Christmas for me starts on the eve of Christmas eve. (Why not prolong the best holiday of the year?;)) Met up with the Igloo Fammie for a bit of drinks and a whole lot of silliness.

Headed to Clarke Quay and had some really lovely drinks by the river.

The sleepover was the best part though. GENUINELY. ONE. OF. THE. FUNNIEST. SLEEPOVERS. EVER. We played chubby bunny and tried baby food. I'm sorry babies around the world, but baby food is really one of the most revolting things I've tasted in my life. Jiax and hua have taken a certain degree of liking to it, but for me, it tasted like vomit *inserts face in pain*.

Then we had a mini fashion show on my bed. The two Pings took out all my long dresses from the wardrobe and assumed the role of models and designers. The model posed on the bed (sometimes with me at the side as an accessory while the other styles the model) we ended up rolling around laughing like silly elves at 4 am in the morning.

We konked out soon after and woke up to a lovely spread made by my auntie. The first logcake for Christmas!!

Felt a little sick on Christmas Eve and so plans were cancelled for the day. Had an allergic reaction to the alcohol I had the day before and broke out in hives. Gng's little note captures it all Face with tears of joy

The magical Christmas day itself started with lunch with hua and gng at Poulet. The chicken with cranberry sauce was hands down our favourite.

Had to rush to meet up with a few lovelies from class and chyi for a hearty steamboat Christmas dinner. We had a little gift exchange and once again guys, thank you for the bedsheets and snowglobe!!

Accessories for my future pug!! (any ideas on the name??)

It must have taken a hell lot of effort trying to fit my super single with single but I still appreciate it loads:')

And thanks yuj for the snowglobe!! Couldn't find a good one in time for the holiday and was quite upset, thinking that Christmas this year was going to have to do without a snowglobe for my snowglobe collection. BUTTTT the lovely addition from New York was just what I needed!! And thank you the rest of my lovely dears, for the lovely letters and thoughtful gifts<3

Similarly, New Year's Eve itself was also one of the best I've had in a while. It started with Mission Impossible- a plan to surprise the 5 princesses in my life who have stuck with me throughout everything for many many years.(Jing 12 years!?) But because of a little hiccup at the start( which basically involved me sending a text to the wrong person) which resulted in the plan being pushed forward one hour, I didn't manage to meet hua. Thankfully, everything ran smoothly afterwards and I found the other 4.

(The 2 cuties: Jing and Claire)

We had brunch at the Marmalade Pantry in ion and really ordered too much. The food can be quite pricey around $20-$25 but shared among friends, it can be quite affordable. The sticky date toffee pudding and the sweet potato fries were really really good though!

The other 2 princesses <3

Finally, to bring closure to one of THE most tiring years of my life, a few of the chicks headed to Keppel Bay at Marina for the countdown. If any of you are looking for a place to countdown, this is the place to go. You get to avoid the crowds and see 3 fireworks from different places all at once! With amazing company and food, what more can one ask for?
