MERRY X'MAS&HAPPY BOXING DAY!!!
How did you spend your Christmas this year?
The second half of 2016 is a bit different for me. Baby left for his 1-year exchange programme in Beijing and therefore, I have no partner to celebrate most of the occasions with. But the happy thing is, I'll be spending more time with my family and friends.
I'm not a social butterfly. I do not have many friends. The ones I have are the ones that I find them trust-able and reliable. As I grow older, it's quality over quantity. And because of this, I distanced myself away from some who don't place priority in our dates whenever we agreed to meet up for a meal.
Ah, it's a happy occasion so I shall talk about how I spent my Christmas 2016 (without my boyfriend)!
This year, I spent it with the group of girls I hang out with most of the times. We booked an apartment from Airbnb and it is located in Geylang. Hmmm, why that area you may ask. Tbh, I've no idea too. I shortlisted a few that are located in Orchard. However, the final decision was made by one of the girls. It's okay, the apt was fine. It's also priced at an affordable price too. So, why not? Sadly, there isn't any photos of the apt taken during that 3D2N of staycation because the place was quite messy once we checked in.
Rested for awhile and we decided to go for an early dinner @ 126 because Sylvia and I were both famished. I've always wanted to try 126 with Baby but didn't because it's super inconvenient for the both of us. I don't like spending money on cab fares too. So we kept delaying until now.

It was raining cats and dogs and we had no choice but to stay in the dimsum place awhile longer before we decided to walk in the rain. Thankfully, halfway through our walk back, there was a shop that sells umbrellas! Woohoo!
Our first night was spent watching shows on Kshowonline, playing games, birthday/x'mas celebration and drinking a bit of red wine.

Bedtime was 3am and I woke up at 9plus the next day. How did I even survive?! We started our second day with 点心 breakfast again. It was at Yong He and damn, the food is so much nicer than erm... 126!
I love their lor mai gai, youtiao, carrot cake, muah chee youtiao (but this would be nicer if it's not that oily but still good!!). And yes, I recommend this place to anyone out there who loves cheap yet good dimsum/allergic to seafood. So gna bring my family here one day!! We ordered a few more that aren't seen in the first photo below and the total cost is only $45!!

Our noon activity was spent at Katong's Teoheng where I succeeded on my high pitch song, likka finally!! Erm, after 4 years maybe? HAHAH! We went crazy on Jay Chou's songs too and my voice trembled like mad after that because I shouted like one crazy woman.
Dinner was a KBBQ Restaurant in Tanjong Katong. It's opened by a Korean and the meat is very, super, uber tender!! I love the meat so much to the extent that I thought I had the whole tray of meat. I love meat but I can nvr eat too much because I'll feel choked afterwards. Okay, that's just some extra information. Anyway, it's $24.80 on Sat, Sun and PH!
Back to apt, tv/game/drinking sesh before we headed to bed at 12mn. Checked out at 11am today and here I am typing these! I'm dead beat but I decided to log this into my entry since my blog hasn't been updated for a long time!
I would love to explore this part of Singapore one day because the low rise buildings and all make it so different from most of the places in Singapore.
Ah, I'm unofficially jobless now that my contract is gonna end soon. Unofficial because there's a company shutdown period and my contract is till the end of the month. Hirers, anyone?
Ok, bye!
