I'm no beauty queen, I'm just beautiful me.

Happy New Year! :D

(Ripped from Google images)

Hahahas, didn't countdown, nothing, because I don't like crowded areas. Perhaps I'm a little grown up now? Kinda not that interested in this kind of thing :P #matureyanqi Hahahahas! :D

But yeahs, the year 2014 had finally came to an end. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Hahahas, because year 2015 will mark the start of a brand new beginning (university life?). That's bad. Hahahas! :D But in short, I have lived year 2014 meaningfully. Studying, catching up with my friends, spending more time with family. Yeahs. #lifegoals Let's welcome the new year with open arms alright! And may the world find peace. 2014 has been quite a disastrous year. Airplanes, kpop incidents, and many of such catastrophes. Sighpie. To the victims of the recent QZ8501, please rest in peace.

Anyways, a late post dedicated to Weina. Hahahas! :D

Happy Belated Birthday girl! I'm sorry that your birthday celebrations turned out this way. T.T Screw everything omg. I really wanted to try Escape Room, sighpie. But ohwell.

(Paris Baguette)

(Christmas decorations)

So it was just eating > shopping > going home. We didn't even eat dinner outside. Omg, I feel so bad. T.T Super apologetic. But I'm excited for this Saturday for our meetup with Manda! <3 Let's hope that it will be a better one.

Strong enough to leave you

But weak enough to need you

Cared enough to let you walk away

I like the night. Without the dark, we'll never see the stars.

I went for extraction of teeth today in the morning for braces. Four at one go! I admire myself for the courage. Hahahas! :D Thank god that it is not very painful, or perhaps I already took painkillers, so ... Lmao! But yeahs! Stage one down. :D Left stage two (putting of braces) next week. Say yay to pretty teeth! Hahahahas!

Anyways, my dentist for today resembles my previous tutor, omg. I got a shock of my life when he bent over to examine my teeth. For a moment, I thought it was that weirdo tutor whom I fired -.- (Amanda knows him too T.T Yes, that tutor.) Hahahas, but yeahs this dentist is damn nice. :DDD

P.S. Extraction of teeth is somewhat similar to tug of war. Serious.

(Adventure Cove with the Poop)

A throwback post. I hate Seah for not dedicating a post for me. I hate you, I really do.

So it was our first trip out together after A's. My virgin experience over there, and I was too excited that I forgot to sleep the night before. Lmao! Thank god the weather is sunny (at least it is not raining) and we got to enjoy all the rides (the scariest ride is down for renovation (?) when Vian went the week after, HAHAHAS to you :P)

We took the same old rides over and over again (because it was fun) till the person recognised us. Lmao! Hahahas, anyways, it was a great day with great company. I had tons of fun. :DDD

(We looked shag)

(Shoot die the photobomber)

Lack of photos because we are stupid enough to not bring any waterproof bag or something to hold our phones. We even 'swim' or rather float with our plastic money to grab food. Lmao. This is what you get when you put two dumbs together. The dumb and the dumber (Seah). ROFL!

It's been said and done,

every beautiful thought's been already sung

And I guess right now, here's another one.

So your melody will play on and on with the best of 'em

You are beautiful like a dream come alive, incredible.

A centerfold miracle, lyrical. You saved my life again,

and I want you to know baby.

It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air.

Merry Christmas!

(Ripped from Google images)

LOL! I thought this was funny, hahahahas!  Anyways, first time getting excited about something I seldom get excited about. Hahahas! :D I didn't buy any gifts for anyone this Christmas. Lmao. Because I'm broke. Very broke. T.T

(My first Christmas gift)

My very first Christmas gift this year from my lovely colleague. The packaging is super pretty, so I shall dedicate a photo to it. Hahahas! :D I was expecting some chocolates when I ripped open the packaging. But no ehs, it is lavender hand cream. It smells heavenly, and smooth. Ohyeahs baby!

(Ice-cream cake)

And yeahs, the boss treated everyone to ice-cream cake. /throw arms in the air/ Hahahas! :D The cake damn delicious luh omg. And it costs $97 (I accidentally overheard it LOL!) Thankyou boss! 

(Christmas gifts)

Christmas gifts from my mummy's colleagues to her. I actually receive one tub of chocolate from my another colleague (it is behind the Hershey's Bar), but I guess it is very pathetic if I only take a picture of that one particular tub, so I gathered all my mummy's presents. :P ROFL!

(Shepherd's Pie)

So we bought a Shepherd's Pie from Prima Deli to celebrate this season :D Yum yum in my tum tum! Damn delicious, the three of us finished this within 15 minutes. Greedy gluttons, omg! Hahahahas!

(Logcake)

And what's Christmas without a logcake! Hahahahas! (: Lychee flavoured, from Prima Deli. The cream damn nice omg. This idiot 1.2kg cake was carried home by yours truly. Good exercise definitely, because I ended up with sore arms the moment I reached home. T.T

I'm on my way for Christmas dinner with my lovely relatives. (: YAY! Excited me! Hahahahas!

(Bibimbap!)

Anyways, a weird insert here, but throwback to a dinner a few days back: homecooked Bibimbap! Hahahahas! Damn nice omg. I love bibimbap! <3

P.S. That dumb dumb Seah got time to blog, no time to reply my Whatsapp. Win liao lorhs! Hmphs.

Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh.
O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail ring, making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight!

Between hello and goodbye is 'I love you'.

How I celebrate my Christmas eve:

work > lunch > shopping > dinner > supper

(Ripped from Google images)

Hahahahas. I just sounded like a pig, eating all day long. Omg. Hahahahas! :D So yup, I had a half-day at work. I wasn't really working luh, just slacking around, because the women behind me (my older colleagues) were like gossipping around like some fish market (they just talked the entire day without doing any work, LOL!). Then I had some nice treats from my colleagues, like chocolates with wine in them, cookies and some biscuits. :DDD Cheers!

First stop: Nandos

(My cute mummy hiding behind the menu)

(Famous for their sauces)

(Whole chicken)

(4 regular side dishes)

Hahahas! :D $55 for a full platter and a bottomless coke to share. It was my virgin experience to Nandos (I heard One Direction loves it). It was a good meal, scrumptious food with excellent customer service. :D Though the breast meat is a little dry, but the drumstick is great overall.

The side dishes were normal, not much specialty to it. Although the fries (they called it chips) were sprinkled with the peri sprinkle, I think is just something like McDonald-kind of sprinkle. Lmao! It would be better if the butter taste is stronger in their Mediterranean rice. Their coleslaw and garlic bread are okay. :D

But they really have great customer service. Hahahas! /thumbs up/

Then I went shopping for new shoes. :D #happykid96  LOLOL! New flats for work, I'm loving it. <3 Christmas gift from my mama!

Then we had a simple homecooked dinner: roti prata roll with hotdog. Yay! Fattening, but my favourite. Hahahahas! Last but not the least, the chocolate fondue which we have for every Christmas!

(Chocolate Fondue)

Delicious chocolate-ly treat with strawberries, bananas and waffles. :D Hehehes! But freaking idiot, I dropped the heart-shaped ceramic bowl thingy whilst washing, and it c-r-a-c-k-e-d. Zzz.

Anyways, Merry Christmas everyone!

The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree:

the presence of a happy family

All wrapped up in each other.

My heart wants what it wants.

Day 6 in Taiwan

My final last day before heading back to Singapore. And disgustingly, only this particular day that it starts to turn colder, like around 17°C, but the past few days were the hot Singapore weather. Kns. Must they do this to me?! I can finally wear my long-sleeved apparels. Lmao!

(OOTD with a random background)

But yeahs, I had been wanting to head over to this Modern Toilet Restaurant for very long already. Hahahahas! :D

(What a cool 招牌!)

(This is the eatery)

(Licking the shit)

(And our seats)

(I am pooping. Do not disturb.)

(Mummy's Rosemary Pan-Fried Chicken Thigh)

(Mei's Curry Chicken)

(My Smoked Chicken with Cream Sauce Au Gratin)

(Daddy's Signature Hot Pot)

Hahahas, I think the Hot Pot is more worthwhile, because inside really have tons of ingredients. Hahahas, the baked rice and curry chicken are delicious. However, the rosemary chicken is just so-so. LOL! :D But the total bill is only SGD 48! There are drinks and ice-cream tooos!

(Chocolate Ice-Cream)

(Hot Black Tea)

Must order the hot ones to get served with such utensils. The cold drinks only come in a normal cup as seen in the background (the blue cups). Hahahas! :D Their tea is daebak omg!

(Last photo before we leave)

It was getting late once we finished our meal. (It is better to print a map in order to find this restaurant, because it is quite ulu in my opinion, lmao!) So we headed back to the hotel to collect our luggage, and made our way to Taoyuan Airport for our flight.

(Our last meal in Taiwan)

Hahahas, completed with our Assam Tea. :D I will miss it! Then we went shopping at the airport and bought many pastries and goodies. :D

(奶油小酥饼 which is simply 赞!)

(太阳饼)

(My new love: Taro mochi)

(And many more food!)

(Souvenirs for friends)

Didn't buy a lot because my luggage is bursting. Next time, let's all just grab one luggage each. Hahahas! :DD I don't need to share with anyone. Better! 

And we had a stupid idiotic flight delay of 1h. Thanks to Tiger, arghs! Sat in the airplane for 5h instead of the promised 4h. My butt hurts. Omg.

(So we had a super late supper at like 3am at Changi Airport?!)

And this marked the end of my wonderful Taiwan trip. :D Ohyeahs baby! I love Taiwan! <3

You got me scattered in pieces

Shining like stars and screaming

Lightening me up like Venus

But then you disappear and make me wait

And every second's like torture

Hell over trip, no more so

Finding a way to let go

Baby baby no, I can't escape

This is a modern fairytale with no happy endings.

Day 5 in Taiwan

Today's attraction: 东北角海岸国家风景区

(总统府)

(Barriers)

A view taken from the taxi. It was one day after the Elections, and so we can see many barriers around the government building (to prevent protests? I mean, the national party lost so badly).

So we went to 放天灯 at 十分火车站. Legit train station, got trains drive past at times one. Hahahas. Dangerous omg. You will know what I'm saying after looking through some photos below. Hahahas! :D

(Yours truly writing down my wishes)

(Legit railway)

(Please fly further and higher!)

Stopped in the middle of the road for a photo-taking session. This is the good thing about Taiwan, you can park your car at one side in the middle of nowhere. Try doing that in Singapore, confirm warning letter. Lmao! This is the legendary 阴阳海.

(The different shades of the rocks)

(The different colours of the sea)

(The different colours of the sea make up the 阴阳, hence its name)

(WOW, the rocks is like super yellowish -.-)

Then we stopped by the 黄金瀑布. Gold because the rocks are like gold in colour due to the sun blahs blahs blahs (geog stuff). Hahahas! :D 

(Family photo!)

(And guess who I saw?)

Hahahas, fancy meeting Jojo here when I was whatsapping Seah the day before that I won't see Jojo in Taiwan one. Lmao! Fate. :D But I was just leaving when she arrived. Hahahas, so we didn't stay long.

Next up, 鼻头角步道. Yes, a mini expedition. Hahahas! :D

(At the entrance)

(Horrifying flight of stairs)

(A school located up in the mountains)

(Fishing area)

(Panting our way up)

(The beautiful flowers swaying to the breeze)

(And oops, my fringe gone!)

Hahahas, it was really windy as we made our way up. (: I guess it was because we were just next to the sea. One word to describe my feeling at that instance: 爽!

(My cute parents)

(See the sea of mountains behind us?)

(The Great Wall of China)

Hahahahas, :D Don't it look like?

(Rocks, rocks and more rocks)

(Family photo!)

(The latest version of Angry Birds)

(Closer to the sea)

Final destination: 基隆庙口夜市

They are quite different from the past few night markets that I have been to. The food they sell is quite interesting, but the goods and items are similar though.

(Some red bean soup with youtiao)

(Yam cake)

(豆花 with balls)

I love the 粉圆. Hahahas, taro balls, potato balls. Yum yum! :D I need to go Blackball soon to satisfy my cravings!

This is a modern fairytale

No happy endings

No wind in our sails

But I can't imagine a life without

Breathless moments

Breaking me down down down down
