Highlights of my own 2011

NYE 2010

Having the BFF back in KL to party with was one of the main reasons why 2011 was such a good year. More of this soon Ms. SimpleC!

I don't even need to be drinking to have fun with you and your rocking awesome friends! <3

Lots and lots of Karaoke session with my darling sister. We may be miles and seas apart but you'll always be the sister I'll always love. No matter how annoying and frustrating you can make me sometimes. 

My new found friend, my Boost,Sushi and maccas buddy at work :) So glad to have met and worked with her.

My AMAZEBALLS of friends in the city I love. Can't wait to see you guys!

This is what we are. the three of us and Jess who's in Sydney. I am really,really blessed to have you girls in my life. Maccas and cake.

And loads more of Karaoke sessions with the gang.

It has been one of the best year I've ever had in a long, long time. I had the opportunity to spend some quality time with my father who has retired and whom I have not lived a complete year with for 3 years. He taught me alot this year. He said to me it's time to grow up and not just in a little girl - grow up but more like Go out and face the world and know what grown ups do and what I need to do to succeed in life. And that growing up is just part of life. If it doesn't happen now it'll happen later. He is also the man who always got me that Business class travels. And when I have to now downgrade to budget he told me, you're lucky you have the job and money to travel. Some can't even afford this. He supported me when I was feeling like shit deciding to get Luke. I love him so much and sometimes I think I don't say it enough. 

So for this year putting aside all the clubs, parties and having awesome time with friends ushering the new year, I have decided to sit back and think about the most important people in my life - my family. The one who's there whenever I needed any support. They may be a little "don't take the risk" kinda people but sometimes everything they say, makes alot of sense. More like they know me too damn well. Ushering the New Year with my brothers and parents wasn't the worst case to celebrate the new year with it was infact the best choice. 

Happy New Year everyone! 

Boxing Day!

The rest of the world may be excited over celebrating Christmas, breaking bread with relatives and loved ones at Christmas Lunch, all the amazing "sometimes" food you can have in a day but for me, Boxing Day is D-day for me.

What makes it even more exciting this Boxing Day is that, this is the first year I have earned real work money. Like, full-on work and sorta no break minus the 2 weeks in Europe. So I lashed out this Boxing Day :) 

Started at 8am - 4pm. Okay fine, some people may have been out shopping longer than I did. 

I had a list with me but as usual I never follow what I have on my list. There's always gonna be an impulse purchase whether I like it or not. duh. 

So here's what I bought yesterday :))

Clearly, Swarovski was an impulse purchase. Very happy with what I bought and I bought a necklace for mumma too. 

I felt so awesome carrying bags of stuff :) If only there was someone to take a photo of me walking with all these bags on my hands. 

Anyway, I've been very very addicted to this song :) Pretty sure everyone else is too. I mean how can you not? The video is beautiful.

A thousand Years - Christina Perri

Titanium - David Guetta ft. Sia

It's finally out! <3

Nails.

Ever since the time when Kmart had a sale on Rimmel London nail polish and I went crazy purchasing every colour possible, I have been an addict when it comes to anything nails.

Then, the BFF introduced me to Konad. That just topped everything. I bought a couple of stamp palate and for weeks on end, I literally practiced to perfect the nail art stamping. Trust me 10 finger and toe nails weren't enough. I had so much fun. 

After that, my darling sister told me all about OPI shatter. She bought me one and it's something different I guess. To see the instant "shatter" effect on my nails as I paint one nail after another.

Anyway, I was blog hopping and I stumbled upon this blog and saw this video:

Nail art marbling. Woah woah WHAT?

HOW FUCKING COOL IS THAT???!

Lets just say, this coming holidays, if I constantly deny any invites to party it's coz I am either broke from spending every single penny on "good" quality nail polish or I'm trying to perfect this marbling shit. Art is not my strongest.

Shaking up the norm

To all Australians and New Zealanders, 

It is the FIRST DAY OF SUMMER! Let the party begin and don't forget to slip slop and slap before going out in the sun!

I never got the memo. Pink wig. Can't stop thinking about what the wig could possibly be made out of - 

Thank goodness for technology

Spontaneous picnic event. Nothing to play with so we settled with our iphones etc. and a siesta. 

It was nice being around people you don't hang out much with.
