春节快乐

Chinese New Year this year went by in a flash because I only got to celebrate till the second day before flying off.

Didn't eat as much as I wanted to :(

Burn from baking which has given me a scar UGH

Reunion dinner!

Grandma is super creative haha

Erm Darren bought me that figurine because it reminded him of me. Thanks.

First day of CNY at Grandparents'

Unknowingly created a Lucky 8 updo!!!!

While people were spamming photos of children on Instagram, I was spamming a dog. #indie

Sarah's drawings of Sundae ARE SO CUTE

But Sundae doesn't think so

1.1 Sarah's Birthday x Buffet

Isn't it awesome how I start almost every post with some shameless photo of Sundae?

My little sister is a New Year baby and it's always great to be able to celebrate both a new year and her birthday together because it means x2 the celebration. Parents used to host parties for her every single year but I believe she has grown out of that. She requested for just a birthday meal this year instead.

Obscene Sundae

She chose the Vienna Seafood Buffet Restaurant located at United Square and during the meal, we both agreed never to go back again. It was a pretty horrid experience for me. We were probably the only locals there.

Food: Not enjoyable. I paid about S$115 and it was really not worth it. Could've had much better food at a nice restaurant for the same price or cheaper.

Crowd: It was sooo disgusting seeing people snatch food, pile their own plates high with seafood, and being really greedy and selfish in general. Guess I shouldn't expect much since it's not a quality hotel buffet but seriously people need to learn some basic manners.

Service: Depends on the nationality of the servers. I shall only comment on the positive experience, which was this Thai lady who was polite and helpful. That's about it.

We bolted out of that restaurant as soon as we finished. Ugh.

Then we went to Orchard to get a cake and shop around. And of course Starbucks to wash down the food as quickly as possible. (Craving an iced mocha now omg)

Pretty Sarah all grown up :')

It is normal to smell your pet dog ok

I love my weird family.

Mink, Bruises, NYE '12

Finally. Seems a bit strange blogging about NYE when it's already more than a week into 2013. But these days, one barely has time to do anything else besides work.

I'm glad I finally made a trip down to Mink sometime in December and got to experience it on a normal weekend. Anything's fun with good music and the right company.

Boring black yes yes

The right company

Weird bruises always appear after clubbing. This time they were on my shin and knee and as usual I've no idea how they got there. Unless someone kicked me? But then again, I always get bruises unknowingly. Like the one below...

A bruise from cooking Christmas dinner :)

So down to the exciting part of NYE! The only photos I have were taken by my phone because I didn't bring my camera, so I stole photos from Mel. Thanks Mel even though I didn't ask you for permission!

Oh before we went to Mink, we were actually partying at a warehouse like hipsters do. We're seriously too cool. The countdown went down here and we had some pretty bad-tasting champagne the first second of 2013. It was a good laugh though *comforts self

And then I got caught stuffing my face. MAJOR good start to 2013!

And another one. What was I doing at that party?!

Awkward moment when the camera flash wasn't meant to go off

Love you even though you've been so mean to me lately

We went to Mink after and it was nice bumping into old friends. And realizing how much time has passed us by -_-

And the night ended with a bang!

Poor furry thing

Exams are next week. May God bless my soul, amen.
