Christmas Tree Hunting

A meetup with the girls since I came back from Bangkok in few weeks back. Being girls, we went shopping in Orchard. Well, it's been a long time since I stepped foot in Orchard. I didn't really bought any stuffs cos none caught my eye. Or maybe it's because I'm a little sick of shopping, and I kept comparing the prices here to Bangkok. :P Perhaps once a while, should have a shopping spree to Bangkok hahaha. And then, no more shopping for that year. ;)

Settled our dinner at Orchard Central's Lao Beijing restaurant. Had buffet for dinner cos I'm very hungry. Another excuse was that I missed Xiao Long Baos, didn't get to eat them in Bangkok :x
But still, in my opinion, their XLBs were alright, I still like the ones in Din Tai Feng's. Too bad they don't have the XLB buffet option ;(

Some snippets of the food!
And yay, cos we have 4 person, we have the popiah free. Only one serving per person, but you have the option to wrap it yourself! Using the ingredients that they provide you. Quite fun actually haha, even though I'm not a huge fan of popiah. :)

After the extremely bloated buffet dinner, we actually sat for nearly 3 hours I think, till the restaurant was about to close, we went for some 'Christmas Tree Hunting'! We took pictures with almost all the X'mas Trees that we saw while strolling down Orchard Road. I had no idea why, maybe trying to get into the festive mood. It's actually fun, feeling all touristy haha. :P

The Pink X'mas Tree! My favourite!
Pink Pretty Decorations outside Orchard Central!
Near 313 Mall
Street Decorations
Somehow, anyone get the feeling that the decorations on the streets felt like it was for Chinese New Year instead? It looks so red and all, totally not Christmas. Or maybe they decided to put them there till CNY? Not a bad idea to recycle them actually :P


Another X'mas Tree spotted! In front of Topshop.
We are part of the decorations!
X'mas Tree in front of Paragon
Inside Ngee Ann City
In front of ION
The Christmas Tree in front of ION was too gigantic to capture in its entirety. :/ We requested the people whom helped us capture the photo to capture the entire tree, but all failed. Well, it's okay, it's the people in the photo that mattered right? :D

The World Didn't End!



Okay, so I'm still alive and kicking! Which means the world didn't end, unfortunately. :P

Merry X'mas and Happy New Year 2013 to all!
Have you fulfil your 2012 resolutions yet? There's still a few days left!

I'm not someone with a habit of pinning down new year resolutions, one for fear that I'm afraid of being bagged down my disappointments in the event that (what if) I didn't manage to complete them all or most of them? I'll feel like a sore loser, hahaha. Oh well, maybe it's time to think of at least some? :/ At least give me the motivation in life which I am still trying to find. It's like I always have this whole in my heart which I'm dying to fill and figure out what it is. Gosh, certainly sounds like I'm suffering from an extremely early mid-life crisis, how upsetting :(

OH, how I missed Bangkok now that I'm back. :,(
Missed waking up to friends, everything. 
Well, guessed it marked an meaningful and fun chapter in my life. :)
