CNY 2013

Being away from home, scrolling through Facebook feed, instagram seeing pictures of everyone having their reunion dinner, dolling up for CNY isn't that bad when you have a great bunch here to celebrate together. But nothing can be compared to being close to your family on this festive period.

Skype session while receiving my virtual angpows

Sis whatsapped me this picture to taunt me :(

Showing off my fav pineapple tarts

Virtual gambling!

Headed to town for dinner on the first day of CNY with the coursemates at this pretty restaurant, Wong's. Love the oriental decorations and the ambience though food wasn't to my liking. Before that, first visit to Gala casino where I won 2.50 in blackjack lol. Oh well, better than losing or nothing.

F4? :P

Mom made me bring my cheongsam along and finally got to put it to good use!

What kind of reluctant face is that?!

Looks like the royal maid and the emperor lol.

Group pic!

Jiaxin, Voonhon, Kai Yap and Ryan

Sichuan dishes for the night

Karaoke at HK diner after that!

UWE organised a dinner for us on the 13th at Zen harbourside, this time with most of the coursemates and uni students. Food was blergh but the company made it worthwhile together with performances by our own friends. 

Missing Han Pin!

Wendy performing When you say nothing at all and In your arms.

Adrian, Szen, Leewee

With a red angpow! :P

With the coursemates

Bestie who's half drunk?

People at our table for the night

Mini dinner with the law students at our flat hosted by Christy our masterchef for the night! Drinking session and card game after that got everyone crazeeeeeeeeeeee. You wouldn't wanna drink the concoction in the bottle in the middle of the table! A mixture of wine, cider and water, ughhhh.

CNY ended with a chap goh meh dinner last night at our place. Whipped up chicken rice while Ryan and Christy made kungpow chicken with tomyam, Szen stir fried vegetables while Yench made baked potato with kale. 

Trip to Middle Temple, London post up next! X

Last Weekend

It's already February! Seriously time is moving wayyyyyyyyyy too fast. February's my favourite month because it's my month hehehe. A line up of events this month amidst missing the CNY celebration back home. Oh well, it's only a year, nothing much to lose out except the angpows, reunion dinner, pineapple cookies, gambling.... :(

Had a pretty quiet last weekend, a few drinks with the Bar students at campus' bar and had a nice meal with Adrian and Ryan in town after our longing for pizza.

Christy my cray cray flatmate!

Szennnnnn

Lindsay!

Drunk lawyers in the making!

TGIF :)

Lunch for 3!

Best was the dessert, the lava cake though there was no lava =.= while Adrian had some cherry sundae brownie which was pretty good too. Cheat day to the maximum, went home feeling so guilty!

Pretty pots and pans for decor

Anti-socialllllllll

Still in the midst of completing my Audit assignment! Needa get it done before heading off to Cardiff this weekend for some Malaysian play. Off to the gym now, cardio day for today! :D

Cheat week!

After the snowing week, it's down to heavy rain and massive wind! As if drenched flats isn't the worse thing on earth already, I have to cope with avoiding being blown away and looking like a ruffled feathered bird by the time I reach class! Ughhhh.

Haven't done a picture post in a while now, so here goes.

First things first, finally got my fringe cut after 2 years having my hair flipped, the signature move ;) I've to admit I look much younger now. :D

Christy cooked dinner for Yvonne's belated birthday celebration last Tuesday. Assam fish, fried spring rolls, roast chicken and Serene made cheesy broccoli. I made sure I kept my portion small though! Wouldn't wanna side track from my diet.

First online grocery shopping with the boys

Favourite honey waffles with berries and almond milk apart from toast for bfast

Typical lunch

A rare treat for teatime, only 1/4cup of hot choc!

While it was snowing..

I miss the snow already :(

A reward for doing well for AMA assignment and FM exam..

together with a shopping spree..only to find out afterwards my Audit marks was a disappointment :(

Made pork loin simmered in white wine and caramelized apples and onions for dinner

OOTD with my new leather jacket from Zara. Previous one from New Look ripped wtf. :(

Finally had Japanese after 4 months at Obento!

Celebrated Yvonne's birthday together with new friends, the future lawyers at Oceana. These people must be really stressed during the weekdays cause they party hard during the weekends! The minute I put down my glass, someone else was buying me a drink already. It was a great night talking to new people :)

Pre-drinking at Yench's

With Szen

With Christy, my gila housemate! :P

With Ken and Yvonne

Ken fighting for the champagne

Happy birthday girl with the champagne

Someone whose fairness that can compete with mine!

Cheat day: Han Pin whipped up a storm for Jasmine's sisters who came to visit.

Made pan mee last Sunday for the very first time

Forgot to add poached egg and spring onions. Too busy preparing for 10!

CNY's next week and it's the first time not celebrating it with the family. Reunion dinners, house hopping for angpows and gambling session, the cookies, etc. Envious of those coursemates who're heading back while I'll be here probably rushing my Audit assignment :(
