Bearing the mind and soul of a fashionista and a shopaholic, I set my (lazy) Sunday afternoon route to the so-called Haji Lane, a narrow lane hidden in the center of Singapore Moslems' district, where the not so narrow-minded local designers and young entrepreneurs gather to bring forth eclectic shopping experience.
It's 2012! I'm so excited, as it's a fresh start for everyone, got rid of all the booboos in 2011 or make it as your lesson and start anew in this year of 2012 :) The 1st resolution I come up with for 2012 is "updating my blog more often!". Hope I do not fail *teehee*I havent come up with any other resolutions though, butMichelle Phan's contest gets me to think (enter here) :p And I would like to thank those who already spent their time reading my blog or even just take a glance of it. I appreciate it all. Thank you ♥
And yay, it's my 1st post in 2012. I'll start my 1st post with: [the one on the New Year's Eve] ♥
I had a date...with my sister on the new year's eve (again) and we had a nice dinner and movie (again). It has become our any occasion's eve ritual I guess *LOL* I sported this outfit (P.S.: my studded loafers are a champ!)
So, we had a sudden decision to have our dinner in Daikokuya (Paragon B1, Orchard). However, it was different with the one in Little Tokyo, LA I guessed #kindadisappointed. It didn't taste bad though.Daikokuya serves four different styles of ramen: Sapporo ramen(rich chicken broth), Tokyo-styleramen (light chicken broth), Kyushu-style ramen (thick creamy pork broth) andKogashi ramen(thick creamy pork broth with blackish aromatic oil). Mini serving is also available for most of the ramens, but not for the Kyushu Tonkotsu.
The store has this common ramen shops' ambiance to it, like those in Japan..me likey :)
Well, we finished the whole meal like in approximately 20min, cos we got a movie to catch *fiuh* Originally, I planned to watch the movie"New Year's Eve"on new year's eve #soundscliche. Since, my sister had already watched it, we watched "The Darkest Hour" instead. The movie was just okay, there were some scenes that somehow totally illogical *nyeh* Rate it 2 outta 5.
We decided to join the crowd at MBSfor the new year's countdown. And it was a big no-no! The queuing started right when we stepped out the MRT all the way out from the MRT station. The probability of insane cab's queuing line and the probability of not getting a cab until 4AM were both high. So, we just had a quick calculation and rushed back to the MRT station and got ourselves home :p
And we did close our 2011 with the best decision ever. The fireworks in MBS lasted like only 8 minutes. Yeah we knew cos' we got a direct view to MBS from our room, a very clear view indeed. Instead of squeezing around and got a neck-pain from trying to look up, we were comfortably enjoying the fireworks with a little midnight treat for ourselves in an AC-ed room. A simple but cozy celebration it was :)
The Fireworks ✺
Awfully Chocolate's White Chocolate Butterscotch (ION B4, Orchard) (the butterscotch was in no condition to be taken picture of, but it was awfully tasty! *we ♥*)

And hope Santa gave you what you've wished for. This is what I love about Christmas: the joy of giving (and gifts) :p
My Santa did give me what I wish for. Thanks daddy, mommy, and sis...you guys do know how to spoil me *teehee* I surely will cherish them all with all my heart ♥
I was currently in Singapore, enjoying my long awaited holiday. I've been dying for a break since my "± 6months of thesis-preparation", any kind of holiday will feel extremely good to me now.
While hoping and shopping around, I couldnt help but admire these interesting concepts of Christmas' trees ^^
Heineken's Christmas Tree @ Clark Quay (the LCDs will show your face) Gift Boxes Christmas Tree @ Mandarin Gallery Macaron Christmas Tree @ La Maison du Canelé (my favorite ♥)
Plastic Bottle Christmas Tree @ ION Food Opera (go recycling!)
Snowballs Christmas Tree @ Esplanade (so cute!)
Gifts Christmas Tree @ The Shoppes at MBS (if only this were my Christmas Tree :p)
I've never had the experience of decorating any Christmas tree in my whole life. Maybe I should next year. Hmm, anyone care to join?
On the Christmas' eve, I joined my sister and her friends for a potluck. It was a fun experience and the foods were finger-licking good :)
*the red velvet cake from Cedele is toothsome #iCrave*
Later that night, I had a "foursome" with Edward, Jacob, and Garrett and had myself a merry little Christmas' eve ♪♬ You should thank me for accompanying you watch that movie, Sis (or vice versa? *teehee*)
(the story behind the Twilight saga: Breaking Dawn and I will be posted later :p)
