The year 2012, so far...

9 days into the New Year.
And it has been rather eventful. 
I'm going to let the pics below to speak for itself :)

And I'm going to begin with.. 
New Year's eve.. 
I had brunch at Levain and packed Subway for dinner, 
Managed to skip pathetic bachelor night "party" (I don't know whose wedding is it anyway).
Stayed indoors, avoid the terrible crowd and traffic, 
Watched Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother :) 


Hung out with these two people..
My bro was checking out his new place,
Since he has to stay nearby his campus so yeah, he's rather busy too..



Barbeque gathering with the classmates.


The next day.... 
                           My sis, her friend, Jyun and I headed over to Genting..





Jyun and I agenda is to watch Freeze live magic show in Genting..
As for my sis and her friend, they wanted to go there for the rides





The show was AMAZING!
We couldn't snap any photograph during the show,
But we were both STOKED and MESMERIZED!
Throughout the entire show there were alot of wow's and laughter from the audience..
And we sat on the third row from the stage (since Jyun got us the VIP tickets).
It was our first live magic show on stage or on ice...
The performers were BRILLIANT! 
Made us wonder how long did they take to rehearse..
Wowness..
And it's full house on the day of the show, 
Worth the trip there despite of the insane crowd since it's the public holiday.

Yesh, we got really excited after the show,
So much so we couldn't get proper pics of ourselves after the performance =p



After the show...
We hung out at one of our favourite coffee place,
Yesh,
You got it.
Starbucks :)

Couldn't find Coffee Beans so Starbucks can do..
Jyun got his usual/our usual Dark Mocha drink
(He's hooked on the drink since I introduced him to that drink)
Also sort of turned him into a coffee lover.
*grins*
I got my hot Mocha drink since the weather is cold and I had the flu that time.


We passed by outdoors and decided to see how cold is it outside.
It was drizzling that night..
And jeez! It was extremely cold outside,
I can hardly feel my hands after that for a bit..
HAHA!


The Christmas deco were still around..
:)




Then it's back home..
Sis and her friend were playing Chubby Bunny in the bus on the way home..
=.=

The next day,
I had to work at the kindergarten.
First day of school for the children,
A handful came in screaming wailing crying REALLY LOUDLY.
I am not sure if "loud" is an understatement..
Cause some of their cries were ear piercing
I swear, I am not exaggerating. 
Now I understand why they need a few helpers to help out for a bit.. 
And I must say..
Children, despite of them being super adorable and funny,
It's not easy to handle them.

But, they can really make you laugh although they make your blood boils most of the time..

NYE

The year 2011 has not been a great year but it's alright =)

So here's a few recap of my year.

It's the year where I stopped looking after myself and as a result my body immune system acted out. Hence now I am trying to build up my body immune system. Which also means staying away from junk (not really staying away but trying to cut down on junk)

I drank more coffee this year than before. Which is sinful but pleasurable.

I watched my favourite idol performing live on stage. It's a dream come true. David Archuleta was amazing when he performed live in Kuala Lumpur.

I ventured out to more interesting food places than before thanks to the bestie.

Uni got quite boring and redundant but it's still bearable.

I am in my second year and soon to be a final year student in the upcoming year.

I got busier (I know I know..I am always busy. But this year I got busier somehow.)

I hate weddings more than ever. Since it's the same old thing over and over again.

I learned to get go of a few things. It's not easy but it's good for myself.

I turned 20.

Time flies really fast! Faster than the previous years I guess..

Still trying to figure out what's next. And I am really hoping that I will get a clue of what's next next year.

Had a great Christmas celebration after years of not having a proper Christmas celebration.

Celebrated Thanksgiving for the first time.

Knowing that crowds isn't my thing. Hence I'm not going to any places with a lot of super enthusiastic people waiting to countdown for the New Year or partying all night. Cliche just isn't my thing. So I am going to stay in for a movie night with the best friend, go for a pleasant breakfast and dinner and of course coffee will be involve. And perhaps a few drinks =)

Okay, I can't really think of any more stuff but I am pretty sure there are more to that. The weather is gloriously hot today and I just came back from a good brunch and I am feeling rather lazy to think. Soooooooo, I shall stop here.


Before I sign off and enjoy my last day of the year, I shall wish you readers a Happy New Year!

Till then.

Christmas

My break has been great =D
Spent time with my besties,
Hung out with some friends who got back from abroad..
And shopped =)

I finally got time for girls day out with one of my girlfriend.

And it feels great being able to hang out with someone who speak proper English instead of jumbling their sentences up with Mandarin..

I am still getting use to the Mandarin thingy cause most of my classmates converse in Mandarin which put me in an awkward position most of the time.

But yeah, it feels great hanging out with some of my friends again =)


9 years of friendship <3

On Christmas eve...
Jyun took me to a cafe in Bangsar.
It's meant to be a surprise and I must say it's such a pleasant surprise.
Cause the cafe that we went to is so cosy and homey like:)



Cafe Barbera
There's another branch in Pyramid but the Bangsar one is way better than the one in Pyramid
Atmosphere wise I mean
Look at those sexy espresso machine! *drools*

Jyun got himself espresso something..
It's some cappuccino espresso drink.
And I think Jyun likes it...X)
Mushroom soup
Seafood Aglio Olio (I think that's the name of the dish)

And I got my usual Mocha drink.
The coffee tastes strong..
So it's not really my cup of coffee although it's Mocha which I like
I guess I just need to get use to the coffee beans that they use
Barbeque Chicken Sandwich..
Yums
I like it :)
Bread was crispy and the vege in it were fresh

The service from that cafe was really good..
The people were real polite and they don't take long to serve you

For dinner, 
We went to another restaurant which serves a lot of meat base food and wine..
Great atmosphere but thanks to Jyun being meticulous and such,
He managed to get us the reservation to dine in that restaurant on Christmas eve,
If it's not for him we wouldn't get to dine in that restaurant that evening..

It's a great place to dine,
Absolutely love the atmosphere too.
It's a house turned into a restaurant,
Very European like,
Totally my cup of tea =)

Instead of dining outside, 
We dine inside to avoid the crowd and such (Jyun knows that I am not a big fan of crowds)


There's a selection of meaty food to choose from (sausages, bacon, salami, etc)
The ones that I chose for myself was smoked pork sausage and herbs sausage.
I like the smoked pork sausage best, and it's the yummiest sausage that I've ever had.
And the mashed potato tastes buttery..
Almost taste like eating mashed eggs =p
As for Jyun,
He had the Pork Cumberland Sausage..
I can't remember how it tasted like but he likes it =)


On Christmas day..
We hung out at Starbucks after lunch =)
I had my usual dark mocha,
The Starbucks tumbler were a gift from my siblings 


In the evening, 
I had dinner with Jyun's family,
A proper Christmas dinner..
I never had any of those before,
Mainly it's because my family doesn't celebrate Christmas although it's my favourite season of the year,
And celebrating with my girlfriends back then involves going out for chinese food and drinking (although I like the drinking part the most)

It's also my first time meeting all his family members,
Since his twin sisters were always away when I hung out at his place,
The pictures will speak for itself =)





Food was great..
We had turkey, salmon, lamb pasta, salad, ice-cream cake, etc
 (can't really recall what we had)
There were a lot of food and a lot of drinks..XD
Jyun's 3rd sister was the one who took all the pics
 (except for the part where she's in the pic)

I got Jyun a new wallet since I know he can do with a new wallet to replace his old one..
He custom made me my very first charm bracelet.
With the right wrist size too 
(I have a rather small wrist so it's really hard to get myself a watch and bracelet)
He managed to get my wrist size without making me feel suspicious about it
Last but not least, 
Gift from bestie and my lil baby sister ♥

I had one of the best Christmas celebration.

Thanks for everything ;)

My siblings were away for camp during Christmas so the house has been really quiet

Although I have been out most of the time, but when I got back home it feels weird not having the lil ones around regardless of how loud they both can be.
