My fun-filled December!

As promised! Here's the crazy long update on various events that happened just in the month of December! I love December. Season to be fun and jolly. Its a pity it's January already and school starts, project work's about to kick in, stress about school related stuff impending. Gah. But this would be my last semester with the school, so I guess I'll bear with it and end my school life with a nice note :)

So here goes!
Baby's 21st birthday party with friends at The Studio
Bf's birthday theme was Casino and I personally felt that it was a great theme! Even the deco of The Studio was really matchy. Everything fell into place, apart from the huge rain that made travelling to the location so inconvenient (and that the birthday boy was late for his own event).
Every guest was given $40 fake money to play games such as "Big/Small" so that there could be some interaction and fun.

 Major proud of myself. Stayed up the entire night and drew up this banner from various casino themed images that I google-ed on and it turned out so pretty! We made up some props too!
So here are some photos taken with the props and banner and of course the birthday boy!











21st Birthday Celebration With Just Us 2!
Here's our second time going to USS. The first time we went was during the soft opening period of USS and there was many rides that were not open. Really excited to return back this time round (well, not really happy over the fact that I am 10kg heavier than the last time I went there) and conquer all the rides I didn't manage to the other time!

Definitely have to take a photo with the globe at USS. Tourist much. Haha


Took the Transformers ride. Pretty amazing but I came out so giddy. 2 rides at The Mummy then this ride immediately is definitely no joke. It was pouring so heavily the only indoor ride nearby was  The Mummy so we took the ride back to back.


Really professional actors!

I CONQUERED BATTLE STAR GALACTICA! HOHOHOHO! I mean seriously, this was the only ride I was intimidated by. Bf and I was queuing for the Human side and my heart was beating soooo fast I can't even... Kept saying I'm gonna die and that I shall wait for him to complete the ride outside. We queued for 1.5 hours and trust me, I kept repeating these words for then entire hour.
Got up the ride, and before the ride even started I was screaming already. Such a disgrace. But honestly, look at the photo above. It was meh. Hahaha. I handled it, relatively well. The ride ended and I was like "It's not even scary."
Same went for Cylon. Before the ride started, I was screaming already. But honestly, I felt that Cylon was really really manageable.

More random photos we took!

I love this photo of us!
This too!
Loving the glow on my skin!

XOXO
All excited about how to comb the entire area. Haha
Unfortunately we had to end the day earlier than we wanted to cause of the rain and we headed to our favourite "Katsu" place! Ginza Bairen. We had our dinner at the same place on his birthday last year. Love this place.

The must-order pork with cheese balls set. Not sure what's the exact name of this dish though. It's really really good! Always ordering it each time we return! :)

Same face! His curry rice with assorted deep fried stuff! Yummeh! Next up was home sweet home for surprises and presents!


Homemade with love from scratch Nutella Chocolate Cupcakes! I wouldn't say they taste amazing but they are not awful for sure! Dallops of nutella are hidden within the cupcakes! Everything with cupcakes taste good! Haha and that is why I chose to use nutella as the frosting.

Hope you like it! :)
Present time! Got him a Seiko watch eventually.

It was a great day of fun and once again, wishing you a Happy 21st. Hope that you enjoyed yourself thoroughly, like I did! :)
Camwhore moments!

BKK Trip with Clique!
This came immediately one day after our day at USS. Gosh, it was so rush. Tardy king and queen aka Zhiyang and Huiteng had to give all of us panic attack before the flight. Especially Zhiyang, who didn't have a local number and there was no way anyone could contact him. *Smacks forehead* We could only wait for his call and THANK GOD HE CALLED. Cause no one told him where to meet up.

Whee! Excited much! First time going to Bangkok!

Departure!

The 4 people who headed to the airport together. Also the 4 who are the most responsible and sensible people. HAHA

Happily waiting for the train to arrive, also being naive that we would reach our hotel soon after we alight from the train. Truth is, we were nowhere near Bangkok, not to mention our hotel.
Kope-d lots of photos from Facebook!
On the dusty train, outside the smellytoilet. The train ride took about an hour? We were sooooooo hungry and angsty already.
We could have just taken a taxi to the hotel but I'm glad we took the train somehow. A different experience I would say.

First meal in BKK! So awesome! PORN'S SEAFOOD. Literally. It was so good. The tom yum soup. The garlic chicken. The fried morning glory. Salivating already :( Thai food's da best!

Day 2 outside our place, KC Place! Not very happy with the hotel service though :(

Look at how chio the Bikini's are! And so cheap too! They were about 250 baht? So that's like around $10? Just realised, not exactly cheap. But still prettzz!
Got myself one set too! Still having no confidence to wear bikinis yet :/

Brekkie! Root beer float!
Day 2 was the the day we shopped the most I would say. Covered Platinum Mall, Siam and I'm really not sure where else.

Mirror shot!

Too tired. Too tired.

Look at Teng, think she was trying to do a Vlog. Her lifetime wish during the entire BKK trip - To buy  Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. Nah!

Caption given by bf: "The flavour pointed to is shit"
Hahahaha how apt seriously. The original was good though!

First time on TukTuk! Omg so major fun! Our driver was like some F1 driver. Super exciting and fast. He got me hooked on TukTuk!
We sorta got conned cause the ride costs us 250 baht if I'm not wrong. Wayyyyy over priced. But we learnt our lesson. The rest of the TukTuks we took were priced nothing close to that.

We went to Chinatown for seafood after that. Not fresh not nice. No need to mention.

Day 3 at the theme park!

Honestly speaking, this theme park was quite a waste of time. Felt super giddy after a certain spinning ride. It wasn't even fun. And couldn't enjoy my day after that.
We went to the water park soon after and I gave up after entering the wave pool. Couldn't take the pulsing waves and I was super giddy. I conclude that I have motion sickness.

Day 4 was spent shopping if I'm not wrong. And on the last day before we check out! Really wish to get back to BKK soon!

Regret that I didn't manage to get to Chatuchak and Pattaya and so many more places. I only left BKK with 2 ziplock bags of clothes :( I guess the clothes there were much more expensive that what I expected it to be. Bought lots of knit tops though! The knit tops were amazingly cheap there!
Bye BKK! Be back soon!

Christmas Celebration with Lovely People

Had a simple lunch with MI clique at Bugis Ma Maison. Simple and Heartwarming :)
Words can't explain how much I love these people. It wasn't full attendance though. Really hope we can meet up soon again!

And Christmas itself with the Clique at Bf's place as usual. Ordered Pizzas and whipped up some homemade stuff. Caught Home Alone 2 and played some drinking games. This tradition has been going for 3 years now. Hopefully we will have more of these celebrations following year after year!

And that marks my month of December. I'm sorry if this entry ended up really choppy cause there's so many things going on.

Really wanna do up a post on my favourite holy grail make up soon! Assuming most of you people reading my blog are girls and would be interested in it! Haha. Till then, hope that the past few days of the new year has been kind to you.

Lots of love,
CX
