Chinese New Year 2017 Day 3

Konichiwa Tuesday! Today is Chinese New Year Day 4 but this post is about Day 3. 😁

So my colleagues came over to my place for CNY gathering. I really must say, my parents are the BEST IN THE WORLD! Despite me being the host, my father woke up early to go to the market to help me get the food for my colleagues. He even cut, marinated and prepared the food into boxes for me. My mum helped me to boil the soup with yellow beans and ikan bilis. I'm so touched. 😭

While waiting for my colleagues to come, I washed the Mahjong tiles and prepare the table, as 3 of them want to play Mahjong before the full force present.

Synne was the first one to reach my place. Followed by Jehanne and Guan Da. We started playing Mahjong first while the rest slowly came over one-by-one. My achievement for the game was to game with the same colour. Generously given by Synne. Hahahahaha.

Yeah yeah! Hahahaha. But after all the games, I still lose money. 😢

Slowly all of them arrived at my house and I get the steamboat started. 

All the gamblers, alcoholics, fun-makers, jokers! This Chinese New Year was the most eventful. I had seen almost all of my relatives and friends. My dad proposed to go overseas next year during CNY, so there won't be much fun.

After all the days of steamboats and pineapple tarts, my body is alerting me. I'm getting all the flu symptoms one by one. Now I'm resting at home while my colleagues are having their CNY celebration again in the office and I'm writing this post.

Please drink more water, especially those with Vitamin C. Stay healthy and enjoy everyday! I shall end this post with a 'Quote of the Post'.

Chinese New Year 2017 Day 2

Annyeonghasaeyo Sunday! Today is Lunar New Year Day 2. Today is a busy day and a day that I enjoyed the most.

Slept at around 2.30am and woke up and 12.00 noon but I'm still so sleepy! 😂

My parents came over to fetch me at my boyf house and went to a temple nearby. After that, my parents came up to my boyf house for gathering. Then we left at around 4.30pm to replenish our food for my gathering at my house with my cousins and friends. 

I enjoyed myself too much that I didn't take much photos. Had 2-in-1 steamboat again and played Mahjong with my cousins. My cousins left with uber and left one more cousin here NOW having heart-to-heart talk with my mother while I'm writing this post and play my 少年三国志.

My shoulders are aching when I'm playing Mahjong. Think I'm too tired. My body needs to rest. Hahahahahaha.

So now, I'm preparing to go rest and get ready for tomorrow. My colleagues will be coming my house for Mahjong marathon tomorrow. I need to sleep more to reserve my energy to concentrate on winning more money.

I shall end my post with a 'Quote of the Post'.

Chinese New Year 2017 Day 1

Hello Saturday! Today is Lunar New Year Day 1 and today is the day which I took the most pictures in the past 1 year, I supposed. Hahahaha. I took some selfies for #ootd.

I had a hard time styling my hair today because I was using the new curler I bought from Carousell and I am so fcuking pissed off with it. I bought the 2-in-1 curler together with a Hello Kitty Mahjong set and I feel like a scam! In the description, the seller didn't mentioned that it is a travel size. 

You see the dice can cover almost the whole Mahjong tile! What the hell? I PM-ed the seller and she didn't reply back to me! I'm so frustrated. I bought this Mahjong set for the CNY gathering at my house on Day 3. Now I have to take out my old set to play.

This is the first angry thing which happened on CNY. Here's the second one. I went to Sheng Hong Temple in Paya Lebar for my blessing today as this is my SOP for CNY Day 1. While I was queuing up to buy the very sibei delicious Muah Chee, which I always had them on CNY, there is this Malay Lady, who drives a Mercedes and BLOCKED THE WHOLE DAMN SINGLE LANE DRIVEWAY! I believe she's one of the owner of the stalls outside the temple selling some food. 

HELLO! I'm not trying to be racist down here, but THIS MALAY LADY, YOU WANNA HAOLIAN THAT YOU ARE DRIVING A LIMOUSINE, DO IT DURING YOUR HARI RAYA, KAKAK! It's a two-way lane and she just don't want to move despite hearing cars honking behind her. Still act one atas inside her car and not giving hazard light. Even with hazard lights on, she's still blocking the whole stretch! So inconsiderate. I haven't seen any news saying we, Chinese, doing stupid acts to bring inconvenience during their New Year. 

Okay, I think I'm being too much already. Anyways, as I've said, I went to Sheng Hong Temple and there were some stalls selling foods and drinks outside the temple. Besides the Muah Chee, I bought something interesting also.

It's quite obvious from my facial expression that it does not taste so good as I expected. I don't know what is it called but I'm just interested in the smoke which I also don't know what is it called. It's cold when it's in your mouth and the biscuits don't taste good. Hahahahaha.

While sitting down and waiting for my father to finish the praying, something caught my eyes while my mum was taking my Instagram story.

A very cute male poodle! His name is Scoffy. His owner is a friendly lady and allowed me to take picture with her dog after asking for permission. We shared our experience as dog owners and pictures as well. She's also waiting for her husband to finish praying and getting blessed by our Dua Pek Kong. 

There are some ornaments displaying in the temple and there's this Buddha which is there for many many years. I've seen it since I was very young.

It's looking cuter and cuter each year I see it. Hahahahaha. 😂

After this, I went to my Auntie's house, my father's eldest sister. By traditional customs, she can't be able to celebrate Chinese New Year because her mother-in-law passed away in November last year and her MIL was 104 years old. Good life already. Despite it, my Auntie still invited us to her house as usual to have gathering and steamboat. She made chilli sauce, which my brother and I find it fatabulous. Yummy yummy yum yum. 

With lots of catching up with my relatives, we will take a smoke break outside her house and I find my brother pretty cool with the slippers which I don't know whose.

His attire total spoilt with this pair of kids' size slippers. Probably he wore my nephew's to avoid the trouble of wearing his shoes. 

We took a family photo upon request from my Auntie, the one in red. This is not a full fall-in of my relatives. Those at the back are my cousins and their boyfriends and those in the front are my elder including my mother. I had a hard time taking this picture because I was half-squarting. My boyf haven't reach when we are taking this picture. So I went downstairs to fetch him up after he told me that he's reaching.

While waiting for my boyf downstairs, my cousins were waiting for the car, so we took a purely TANs picture.

There are 6 more TAN females who were absent from this gathering. So the three of us represent them. Hahahahahaha. Among all my cousins, these are the ones closest to me. Whenever my family has big family events, we will coordinate with each other about the meet-up. 

So back to today's event, my boyf finally came and I took our first selfie for this 鸡鸡 year. 

My handsome man. My cousins were all asking for him when I reached. Hahahaha. After he had the steamboat, we left to go back home to rest for tomorrow's gathering. 

Now, I've finished my short stream in twitch, bathed and writing this post. Waiting for to play my 少年三国志. I shall end my post with a cute picture of mine instead of a 'Quote of the Post'.

CNY Celebration with my Colleagues

Hello Thursday! So I rushed out after my previous blog post to attend a celebration with my colleagues at AIA Tampines and went for an Agency Reunion Dinner at KushiBar.

They are my colleagues who do roadshows together with me. We had the fun together when there are no prospect seated down. We had our sharing after the prospects left our table. We joked around and played around during the roadshow. I had to admit that it was fun to do roadshows together with them.

The celebration we had, includes rewarding the Top FSCs in the roadshow and the presenters are the Director of Agencies in AIA Tampines. After the awards, there was a short recall of all the previous roadshows. After that, we had our yearly affair, the LOUHEI. Everybody was so excited that the shredded carrots were lou-ed all over the place. It was happy and fun and everyone enjoyed this session.

After the celebration at AIA Tampines, our own agency headed down to Macpherson Road to have our Agency Reunion Dinner at KushiBar. It is buffet style and I will rate the restaurant 7/10. 

Why I rated it 7/10? First, the parking is limited as it is along the roadside. There are not many big carparks around. Second, we called for the Premium Buffet, which inludes premium items like oysters and lobster soups. I am not a fan of oysters but the serving was not so appealing. Third, their dessert DOES NOT HAVE Mochi Ice-cream and that's my favourite! Hahahahahaha. These are the three points being deducted from my rating. But I will recommend it because the price is affordable, the ambience is nice and their services is up to standard. 

The address is 526 Macpherson Road Singapore 368216. 

So as for today, I have just done my spring cleaning in the room. Two big garbage bags were being thrown out. Cleared 20% of the junks in the room. Left with only the wardrobe. It is a very tiring thing to clear a woman's wardrobe! Perhaps I shall leave it till next year. 😝

I will end this post with another 'Quote of the Post'.

CNY Reunion Dinner Getaway

Hello Wednesday. I just came back from Genting Highlands, a place everybody knows. This trip was confirmed 2 months ago and the purpose of visiting is to have my CNY Reunion Dinner with my family in such a cooling weather to have steamboat buffet. Hahaha. Suddenly my English grammer is so broken. 

 I didn't take a lot of pictures in this trip because there were nothing special and interesting, BUT, there's a new shopping mall called Sky Avenue. It's not fully open yet. Some retails outlets like Timberland, Samsung and The Body Shop has started their operation, together with some F&B outlets like Llao Llao and Gong Cha. 

This trip, I experienced the Fish Spa. I never try before and IT IS VERY TICKLISH! I have video-ed it down but too embarrass to post it here. 😂

Well, so basically, the weather was really very cooling because it was raining throughout the three days. Even on the last day, the journey on the road was pouring small drops of rain. I really had nothing much to describe about this trip because I have been there 'n' times, however, I dropped by the "Strawberry Farm" which is on the way down the hill. My father suggested my boyf and I to take our wedding photos there.

We did a sample first. Disclamer: This is not the actual wedding photoshoot.

Got the 'feel' there right? Hahaha. Photos were taken by my brother's girlfriend. My this very cute boyf didn't smile at most of the photos because he thought that my brother's girlfriend is catching the angle. 😆 

So I was back in Singapore last night and now writing this post. Waking up after a short holiday is hard to accept the fact that I'm back to face the reality of the society. Busy days ahead are waiting for me. So I better get moving and end this post with a 'Quote of the Post'.

Sometimes you have to put a fake smile on and pretend like it never happened. It's not call giving up. It's called growing up.

Helloooooooooooooooooooo! I am back!

Hello! I am back. I have not been updating this little page of mine for more than a year. I hope my readers are still around even though there aren't many in the first place.

2016 was not a good year for me emotionally, physically, financially and whatever 'ly' you can think of. My work was not as good as I expected and my body needs a overhaul. I have to admit that I am getting older and I MUST really take care of my body to build a family with my boyfriend whom we have been together for years. Well, the story of my boyfriend and I, I will do it in another post because I can't find all our pictures. Hahahahaha.

I have always been wanting to update my blog. However, I can't find any reasons or any events to share, but now, this is the only place for me to share my thoughts. I realised that I am getting more and more sensitive and getting more and more away from the society and living in my own world with my own rules and objectives. So from now, 2017, I will write down thing here in my cosy little blog space. I am not seeking for any attention, I'm just transferring my memories from my brain to my blog. My blog will be more wordy and pictures will be little. I will try to upload more pictures.

So what have I done in the past 17 days in my 2017? Only work. I only work for the past 17 days in my 2017. My manager organised roadshow event at Bishan Junction 8.

I am not sure if you guys know what I am working as. Hahaha. I am a Financial Services Consultant representing AIA Singapore. During the roadshow event in Bishan Junction 8, the crowd was awesome. They are very friendly people and I felt nice talking to them. During one of the shift, the crowd was not so good as expected so, as I am a very vain woman, I played with some photo-editing app and the result scare me out. 

I cannot believe I can look so chio right. LMAO! The original picture looks like this.

I was too bored at that time so I went to explore interesting apps in my phone. Now, the roadshow event has ended and I am looking forward for the next one in February and hope the response will be better than Bishan Junction 8. 

I have so many things to prepare for Chinese New Year and at the same time, I need to do my work. This Chinese New Year will be quite a significant one for me and I shall not say the reason out now. So I'm gonna put in 101% of my effort into it and I wanna see the happy smile on my parents' face.

Saying about my parents, I have so many emotional thoughts which I don't think I wanna write about it in this post. But, my parents are THE BEST ONE to me. 

I am feeling so emotional right now. 😞

Okay. So for the past 17 days, I have also streamed LIVE. Hahahahahaha. I didn't expect that I can be a Gamer Girl.

I only stream in Twitch.tv (link is on the right ➡). Well, I started streaming in January 2016 playing Counter Strike: Global Offensive. I can tell you, I AM A SERIOUS NOOB. I don't play these kinda computer game in the past except for MMORPG, but CSGO is the first game that I'm getting more and more serious into it. In order to get myself better in my competitive games, I practiced in-game workshops, I watched YouTube videos on how the professionals react and I played with players with higher rank than me. If you are CSGO player, you should know that you have to be Level 2 than you can play competitive games and you have to win 10 games to get a rank. So for me, after winning the initial 10 games, I got myself a rank, a GOLD NOVA II. Hahahahahahaha. I'm so proud of myself for this.

I also made friends with some Singaporean streamers as well as CSGO players. They taught me a lot for streaming and playing and I appreciated them. Watch me LIVE some day. Probably you have to follow me in my social medias to know when I'm LIVE.

So basically, these are the things I've done for the past 17 days which include making a comeback to writing blog post. Hahahaha. 

I really want to write so many things but I don't know where to start from. So I will end this post with one of my 'emo' pictures and will update again soon.
