大年初一of the Horse Year 2014

Happy CNY 2014 Everybody! Time passes real fast and yet its a brand new Lunar New Year already! Hope everyone had fun basking in the festive mood with family and friends! 祝你们马年行大运，身体健康最重要！马上发财 to all gambling during these few days! =)

除夕and 初一 are always the busiest part of CNY! Took off to do my last minute nails this year! Red has always been my fave color! =) Den it was home to all the steamboat feasting at home with just my precious parents and brother! Aside all the busiest and tiredness you get from preparing everything to cleaning up and resting before preparing for the midnight praying at 12.10am (auspicious hour this year), it was all worth it. Wishing parents a longevity health and may dad's business prospers! :)

So here's my outfit for 初一! 

Simple is the way to go and mine, I'm a walking ang bao this year! hahah =D

A little cutie I set my eyes on the minute I saw it!

A watch of 4 years, it holds important sentimental value for me.

Changed to new straps for the new year =)

Scored this beauty that I've been always searching for high and low for 3 years! So happy I scored it in Ion Boutique on CNY eve before I had my awesome lunch with Jane :)

My 2nd CNY pair this year, gorgeous nude heels that's love at first side! 

I'm a sucker for anything nude! It just makes one's legs appear longer.

Headed Grandpa's place first and as my brother is super tall, I look short in this photo! haha!

Mandatory Staircase shot! heehee

Second Stop: Nanny/godma's place! It was a rush because we left late this year!

I look like ang bao don't I? =D

A selfie is a must! Used my new Chanel foundation and Red Lippie that I got off airport in December!

Always doubt if this kind of deep red suits me..hmm wad u think?

3rd stop! 水为财！and the weather's too good to fool around! =D

Wish I coud jump right into the pool for a swim! haha

Yup, that's my awesome brother and me fooling around the spiral staircase!

4th stop: Maternal side of relatives at my jiujiu's place! Changed to heels =p

Yup I'm so mafan I actually placed both in the car for easy changing purpose haha!

 Outfit: Kristen Dress by Love'Bonito

Nude Heels by C&K

My cutie pie's birthday fall on 初一coincidentally this year! Her Hello Kitty Cheongsam is so cute!!! Happy Birthday my niece, Jayyee! 快高长大 and grow up to be a pretty girl ok! Loves!

Last time was my own godma's place! Every year I only get to see her once and I really treasure all my time with her. Sadly this year, my drug therapy really strips me off my appetite that I couldn't enjoy on my CNY Food feasting! But I'm glad I get to see all that matters to me all healthy and happy! To all my elders, a longevity of health ahead!

Hope all of you had a blessed day!

Till then, collect more ang baos people! =)

Assembly Coffee

Happy Chinese New Year Eve everyone! =) Hope all of you are basked in the festive season mood already! :) Decided to clear this post before CNY 2014 arrives in less than 24 hours =D
Alot of you are curious what is my career now as I have been posting some pictures of myself with baby micropigs. I work in the science laboratory field, for a contract research organization. Basically, we carry out scientific research studies for our clients, both locally and internationally. My workplace is also a breeding centre for micropigs, thus the joy of seeing babies all the time =D They maybe of nuisance though sometimes, especially this little fellow below. He's only about a week old and my dear, he was shivering for quite awhile. He pooped alot during the shoot, but hey babies are all like that :) Cleaned him up with baby wipes and played with him awhile more and he's all ready to go!

The little star of the shoot the other day =D

HELLO EVERYBARDY! =D

*kiss kiss*

He was practically falling asleep as I carried him in my arms haha. It was hard to keep him awake but a joy to see him sleep so soundly!

Headed to the east to run some errand for work. Decided to drop by this gorgeous water backdrop area after the errand. Credits to my photographer for these photos below =D 

Outfit: Top from LoveBonito

Embellished skirt from Smoochsg

In deep thoughts.

Headed over to Evans Road for some Assembly coffee goodness cause the owner was a friend of my photographer's! Gorgeous owner lady with great hospitality. Nice Cosy Place too!

Assembly Coffee

Our Cappuccino and Latte. 

Latte was alittle over acidic as usual but the Cappuccino is awesome! 

Didn't manage to took a photo of the yummy Croissant :(  

Their coffee beans were supplied from Liberty Coffee.

Would recommend all to go for some relaxation me time over some coffee and light snacks.

Ended the day with some light food over at my usual favourite haunt around the area. 

Can't wait for the long festive weekend of chitchatting, eating and playing with family and friends. Happy Chinese New Year in advance People! 

Cheers:)

A well deserved farewell and short trip over the weekend! :)

 It's the favourite time of the week again, Friday! =)

 Fooling around in the office, coincidentally we have the same color combination for the day =p

It was close to CNY 2014, and to taiwanese, they need to have a  尾牙to celebrate the end of a year and thanking everyone for a hard year at work. So our dear taiwanese colleagues gave a treat to a sumptuous dinner. I recommended the following restaurant:

Tian Tian Seafood

239 Outram Road 

Singapore 169042

 As it's near to CNY, how can we not have Lou Hei! =D

 YUM SENG!!

 Drunken Prawns!
They are sssooo fresh that we couldn't stop at just 1!! =D

 Bamboo Clams in Garlic!
One of my ultimate fave dish. Hard to find in SG restaurants already and they are rather expensive. $10 each but all worth it! I'm in heaven!!

 Coffee Spare Ribs

 Steamed Soon Hock Fish.
Another must have! 

 Gong Bao Tian Ji!

These are some of our dishes! Been patronizing this place since young, the restaurant is really nice even though it's just a normal zi char shophouse.. If you are only there the first time, try giving them your budget and ask them plan for you a menu! Oh, not forgetting, they are famous for their Steamboats too! The seafood here are ssoo fresh and finger licking good! Trust me, it's all worth the money! =D 

 We celebrated the birthday of Jeff with a surprise cake and mad loud sing along session haha! The kind lady boss allows us to celebrate and provide us with all utensils too! Thanks auntie!

Yummylicious Chocolate Banana Cake!

It was also the dear farewell dinner treat to our dear interns from TP and Aileen, one of our korean colleagues :) To my dear interns, thank you for all the time and dedicated hard work you two have given for us throughout the past 5 months! We hope you guys have learnt something as well and all the best for your future :) And to aileen, you are a dear, a gem! Glad to have known you through work. Can't wait to visit you in December =D

After that some of us headed our way to Customs and carry on with our little planned short trip for Aileen! :) This girl is brave to visit Malacca and Batam alone! As crazy as I do! hhahaha =D We went Kota Tinggi, an hour ride place from JB. A friend of 2 of my colleagues were there waiting for us.

Me: ' Aei, 6 of us leh..how your friend fetch us JH?'

JH: 'Don't worry, his car huge enough.'

Me: 'Huh, you sure anot! We all not very thin leh hahahahah!'

JH: 'Yes, its Q7!'

Me: 'Huh? Simi Q7?'

(We were rushing to and past customs actually)

JH: 'Aiyo,  Q7 lah! Your fave car brand! Reach you will know la!'

Me: 'Okok.'

Half blurred and tired me said ok, and we went on. Ended up OH, its Audi Q7! Really Bur sotong me! Still claim I like Audi yet I don't know hahahahah! Really love SUVs/MPVs. It's a smooth ride back to Kota Tinggi and we had a homestay (car owner's former home). Almost all of us slept throughout the ride to KT, except Tammy =x

Before we headed to homestay, we grabbed some Lok Lok =)

Slept at 2am! Had to get up at 8am which was tough =( And off we headed for the famous KT Bah Kut Teh.

While waiting for seats :)

How we squeezed 8 adults in a 7 seater car! hahah! Perks of SUV/MPV, SUNROOF!! yipee! =D

Happy us heading for waterfall! =D

The highest point we can go! :)

You just simply gotta thank Mother Nature for the awesome sights and tranquillity! 

Pardon my tired face! :)

Most of them headed for the water happily! Sadly, I had aunt flo visiting so I had to give it a miss :(

Ahh, nature's massage!

Isn't nature so beautiful! :)

Hahaha, that's the car owner and a dear friend of our colleagues! Thanks for being such a great host, Tok! :)

Time for the Slides! =D

Hahahahahahahaha, this is mad hilarious!

Love all those happy faces =D We headed back homestay, showered and rest awhile before we continued on. 

Met alot of their other friends in KT and man you so gotta love Malaysia. All the nonstop eating and walking and playing, we were so tired at the end, leaving malaysia only at 1130pm but it's all so worth it! Thanks guys for being such awesome hosts! We shall meet again Next Sunday for CNY =D

Till then,
Cheers!
