CHINESE NEW YEAR DAY 3, 4, 9 & 10

Chinese New Year this year lasted for 10 days for me and my big family. Though not everyday we have visitings and gatherings, but it still lasted for ten days. To be exact, we are active on day 1, 2, 3, 4, 9 & 10 only. Still a pretty long cny :>

{ DAY 3 }

Woke up kinda late to prepare and waited for my boy to come my hse to bai nian with my parents as usual. We were kinda in a rush so there wasn't much time for us to snap pictures and ootd :( I already pre-planned in my mind to take lots of nice ootd pictures and with my boy on that day since I'm wearing a maxi dress... but idk why imagination and reality somehow don't happen tgt most of the time, IDIOTIC! >:(

So we went visit 2 other houses before settling at my aunt's hse for gambling and snacking session. Haha boy joined in for the gamblings too, keke. We played 'clear the table' and was soooooo scary!! The stake was kinda big at some point in time!! After awhile at 5pm plus we went off to visit his side of relatives, *gulps*



So hard to take decent photos cause we were in the cab and it was so shaky. The uncle even asked us if we managed to take decent pictures lol! 

Took taxi there as we were late I guess but I think we weren't that late. ahaha, but his cousins all went to the place at 1pm plus to gamble and left before we reached. Boy was kinda disappointed cause he wanted me to see his cousins and see how they gamble haha, he was saying it was gonna be very fun those time. But i still think my side was the best :P So there was miscommunication between him and his parents that's why they missed out on all the fun in the afternoon. Nvm, he said we will try again next year haha! His maternal side also has alot of relatives, not bad~ Stayed for awhile then off we go home. 

{ DAY 4 }

Monochromatic day for day 4! Black and white never goes wrong. I was falling off while taking the picture hence explains the awkward leg position hahah.


Went for more visitings and then to cousin's hse again for steamboat dinner!! It's always great when we end the day of visitings at one of the cousin's hse. More comfortable, more fun, more awesome!! :)

Cutie nephews clad in matching tops, haha! So cutie lo, they also had many set of clothes to wear this year, naish naish :)



Slacking at cousin's hse after visiting while waiting for the rest to arriveeeeeeee, yawnsssss

And tadah, before the adults came, we would always chiong to the mahjong table to play a few rounds ahaha! 

Then, steamboat dinner, crazy scary heart attack gambling sessions, then cousins bonding time playing Contact (no money involved), the game just test how well we know each other/how well we click/etc , cause it requires some telepathy and insider joke to play it well, super cool game!! HAHA and would sent you laughing like some mad dog :P We were constantly asked to lower our volume or stop playing by the adults cause we were way tooooo loud laughing and all while playing. Kekeke definitely wouldn't want to attract any policemen coming our wayyyy~ Teehee awesome night with cousins <3

{ DAY 9 }

Day 9 of cny was a simple one, went to cousin's hse for lunch and stayed there for the usual eating, slacking, gambling till night time before heading to my house downstairs for the yearly Resident's Community Cny course dinner. The food were basically the same few dishes and we had to sit there for like a few hours for the food and see/listen to the performances. Quite boring, cause yea, resident's community... for mostly elderly right... but we all had to go cause my grandpa said so, he's one of the member there so yea......

Didn't had nice ootd shots again so we just made do with these haha!

You can see our outfit gets more casual as the cny days go, ahaha we need such casual clothes for our everyday wear.

With elder sis

& younger sis


Us threeee <3 We spent like half an hour or maybe less (i would like to think so) outside the lift area of our house to camwhore before bathing, if not no photos of our cny day 9!! 

After bathing, cousins called to play overnight mahjong at her hse. So we played from around 12am- 530am! 2 full rounds of mahjong and you know what?!?! I'm the only freaking loser, so I paid them 3, ass.... I was winning after the first round man! Then they had to do that to me.......... $$$$ Luck is really running out for me. I'm totally not the gamble material and luckily, I'm not fond of gambling so doesn't really matter. But still, I'll be secretly madddd when I lose!! ARGH :P

{ DAY 10 }
Last day for us all!!!! Woke up late due to the previous late night yawnss!! Went to another cousin's hse for lunch and then god family hse for dinner!!! YUMMY!! :> Bascially, we have to visit every cousin's hse for cny, so it's actully spreaded out during the cny period and each cousin's hse can be for different meals, :D

Sadly not much pictures taken, boohoo :(
Boy asked me to take a pic of myself for him while he was doing his project stuffs, poor him :( I didn't want to take selfie so I convinced my nephew to take with me, haha!! At the mention of my boy to him, he was immediately willing to take picture with me :P Naughty him!! 

Tadah that's the end of my cny!!! <3 Now you know why I have to shop for so many cny outfits and why I always mia during cny period. Oh, not forgetting belated cny celebration with my jc clique on the last weekend of feb, looking forward :)

CHINESE NEW YEAR DAY 1 & 2

YAY HAPPY  CHINESE NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!! :D

One of the holidays/event that I really like and enjoy is the Chinese New Year! Each year I'll be so excited to get new clothes, shoes, bags and accessories! Though I'm always a last minute buyer and cannot get what I really plan to wear etc, but well, cny is still fun for me :) Every year my cny lasts for 15 days, ahaha. Ok not everyday I have to go visiting because after a few days the adults have to go to work and so on, but in total, it will last for 15 days till the last weekend. My whole big family is really big, paternal, maternal and grandma side. Sometimes I really don't get why we have to visit them and take angbaos from them when we only meet during cny. Isn't it kinda meaningless? The whole thing behind the giving and receiving of angbaos become really meaningless as some people just give for the sake of giving and receive for the sake of the content inside the angbaos.

Oh well, cny is all about angbaos, money, gambling, fun, food, laughters, shoutings, heartattacks, visitings, awkwardness.... hahaha! I'm still enjoying my cny though this year we didnt go to Kukup for cny getaway and didn't get to play with fireworks and crackers. It's still nice staying in Singapore :)

{ CNY DAY 1 }




Pretty mom & handsome dad give birth to.............

3 beautiful daughters!!! hahaha, I'm not self-praising okay, that's what many of the not so close relatives, my parents' friends and even outsiders said :P


Everybody gathered in my house in the morning for breakfast and a few rounds of blackjack before we all set off to visit our own relatives. For me, I went to visit my maternal side relatives and grandparents. Like I said in my Dayre, my sister and I don't plan our outfit according to the importance of the days but rather we plan our outfits based on the places we are going to visit for the day. So for day 1, we visited our maternal side relatives houses so there wasn't much travelling, so we decided to wear sth casual but nicer than casual casual, haha! :P It was a really long day and we were so worn out by night time, yawns. Went home and my cousins(paternal) were still at my house so we played non-money games like 'Declare', '49', 'Memory game'. Hahah cool right, they are interesting games okay!! *hiakhiak*

{ CNY DAY 2 }
Everybody came my hse in the morning again for breakfast again... haha! Look at the amount of shoes outside the house everytime my big family gather together :D

After all the eating, gambling, preparations, it's time for phototaking again before setting off for visitings :)

Family shot but with bad lighting. The better quality ones are in my cousin's dslr but since she haven't upload the pictures, I shall just make do with what's in my camera.

All the cousins and nephews with our grandparents. Generations and generations, lucky grandparents ahhhh~ ahaha! This is my paternal side family which I'm more close with and spend most the time with. So whenever I say big family or cousins, you know which side I'm referring to ^^

Yes and off for visitings!!! I wore my holographic heels as can be seen above. It was kinda high and loose but I still can walk in them! Nice nice :)




Yay fav people!!!! :D Hehehe our ootd for cny day 2!! Always being silly and laughing so hard with them.

Me myself and I!!! 

Bryan my nephew whom I sometimes call boyfriend haha cause he knows how to protect/takecare of people and also considered mature for his age excluding the fact that he is a naughty playful bully! 

Tallest cousin and even with my heels, I'm still shorter than her by abittttt ahem!

My almost 1.90m beloved godbro! <3


Elder sister.

Mummy.

Daddy. Wow I'm still not taller than him (1.70m)

Younger sister.

So we visited my maternal side relatives again, now at their respective houses and also my aunt's new house! Woooo, so cool! The houses nowadays are like condo style and layout just that the size is smaller than the houses last time. Boohoo, bad thing that houses are getting smaller and smaller :( Oh yah then my uncle whom we seldom see, saw us and told my mom that I can go be model. That's what I overheard him speaking in hokkien to my mom haha! Tsktsk, I'm farrrr from being one man.

Nephew Alfred! He's wearing the shirt that my sister and I bought for him ^^

I think I look kinda different in this set of photos but I don't know what and I like it haha! Also, I think this is the most comfy ootd so far, because the romper is of the right length, very fitting and secure and has the floral oriental feel suitable for cny. Though before cny, alot of ppl have alrdy worn such rompers to dead and I also bought it way before cny but I still think it's more apt for cny and that's why I kept it till cny to wear it keke. 

So after the visitings, it wasn't the end of the day! We all went to our cousin's hse to hide and prepare pails of water and wait for them to return. It was a bday surprise celebration for my uncle haha!!! And he didn't realised anything fishy even when the plan almost failed!! HAHA SO FUNNY :P & yesh surprise was a success and he was super drenched keke!! Our family always have such evil plans oopsieeee.

To end of the day, we had icecream cake and.... LOU HEI! 


Too big a family so we all had to stand sideways to lou hei to accommodate everybody haha, so squeezy okay!!

and huat ah!!! All the shoutings, 'throwing' of food, haha epic! 

It will always end up like a mess. I bet all of yours are also like that. This is sth that's inevitable :P

Then, more blackjack before the longgggggg day ended! Hehe nice nice day :) 

Hope cny has been kind, rewarding $$$$ and fun for you all so far! I'll update the other days of cny soon :D

What I want for my birthday....


(just a few outfit shots of myself for work hahah in case you miss me)

Okie oopsy, should I say I'm feeling bored or should I say I'm feeling hyped up about my 19th birthday? Oh man 19 19 19 19 19!! Outta the sweet 18 zone alrdy, can no longer be xiao mei mei alrdy?!?!? Getting older year by year........ Oh what's with that depressing intro, haha!

Okay so today, I just want to share with you all, ok actually I dont think anybody actually reads this space regularly. ok so I should say, I'm gonna list my birthday wishlist perhaps for my own reference here. My birthday is just one month plus away, not very long okay!! SO PEOPLE PLS STARTING PREPARING YOUR GIFTS AND CARDS AND WHAT NOTS! Hehehe this year is like a rest year for the jc kids okay, so no excuses for lousy celebrations/lousy gifts/lousy cards etc okay MY DEAR FRIENDSSSSSSSSS!!! :P I bet all of you also want your birthday to be better than the last 2 years where we still have school and stuff but this year only work so still have time rightttt?? :(

YES YES BIRTHDAY WISHLIST!!! (in no particular order)

1) HAIR CURLER

Yes you heard me, I want a hair curler for the longest time alrdy but just didn't have the willingness to splurge on one. So I found a cheaper alternative at qoo10!!!! It's just $42.50, can share and get me one? :P HAHA ok this post is just so bhb, like as if anybody will want to get me presents... okay loner for life :( Whatever, i want this in pink!!! If you read this and want to get me this, please try to order it fast okay? Cause I'm afraid this cheap price deal will be gone like soooon!!!! FAST FINGERS OK? keke!

2) MAXI DRESS

Told you I can't get enough of maxi dresses but at the same time it's quite hard for me to like one! It has to be that 'perfect' one/ pretty one for me. And I happen to come across this dress above and I like it very muchhhh :D It comes in forest green, navy, wine red, grey but I cannot decide which one I like most cause every one is nice!! But I dont want navy cause it's kinda dark. so choose guys, forest green or wine red or grey that you think will look nice on me? Click on the link and you will be directed there, it's currently in backorder status so also have to order it fast, like sort of 'book' it. Cause this type of backorders usually takes time to process and by the time it gets delivered, it may be alrdy end of feb or so :O So fingers gotta be fast too! This  is retailing at $31 :)

3) CAMERA
SONY NEX 3N

I didn't do a lot of research on cameras but it is definitely one of the things that I want and need in my life! Hahaha I need to capture moments~~ :P I usually go for compact ones, with quality & functions similar to mini dslr and then with the self shot screen. This is one of the good cameras that I know of recently and my friends aren't carrying this camera so I wont clash with them you see haha. But it's so ex like $700 plus :O! It will be kinda heartpain to buy also, any kind souls wanna chip in? :P hahaha!!

Alright, I can't think of anything else, so tht's all for nowwwwwwww. You can still buy me other stuffs, no worries like one bulk of polariod films, polariod album, boots, cardigans, vintage watch, statement necklaces which I'm into them right now, and others others. Hahaa omg this post is so bhb! TSKTSK peggy.... :P

Okieeeee byeeeeeee :D
