Merry Christmas to everyone! Did you take part in any countdown events last night?

On a side note, I actually drew the above illustration for my own Christmas cards but couldn’t find a inexpensive place to print it. There’s usually a minimum quantity of 100 to 200 and I don’t need that much. I only got to know of a shop at Bras Plaza that does printing for $1 per card with minimum spending of $30 from Ivy when we meet up for lunch last week. Hence, I will just leave the handmade cards for this year since it’s a bit too late to do that now.

I spent Christmas eve at home with my friends and family. We didn’t want to hang out at the parties due to the crowd. So Dad cooked steak and we had Christmas dinner at home. Michelle joined us for dinner and mahjong session as well. No turkeys on the table though.

Haw Par Villa

Haw Par Villa¹ is a place in Singapore which was filled with tourists and visitors a decade ago. But now, it’s just a deserted place; lifeless and forgotten. My parents brought me there when I was 5.

Some of my twitter followers may have noticed that I’ve been away from 5 August to 13 August to Hong Kong and Macau. My flight got delayed yesterday due to bad weather but here I am. I’m home! Home sweet home. I miss the beautiful sun and fresh air. The air was quite bad there as compared to Singapore. I break out with lots of zits on day 1 of my trip. I’m on an intensive masking regimen now. Anyway, I’m just so glad to be home. I haven’t got the time to organise the 700 over photographs taken during the trip but I got the photos of my loots ready. I just took photographs of the smaller items. Hence on top of the ones below, I still got myself 3 pairs of new shoes, 2 dresses, 2 tops, 3 pairs of stockings/leggings. =D
