Okay, now I am being annoying, haha!
Mom said I should smile for the camera so say "CHEESE"! 😁

Oh yeah, BTW, any of you are Gudetama fan?

Isn't it the cutest egg on earth?
It is so cute and I had to get all 3 of the designs.

I am currently obsessed with this glob-like creature with arms and legs but that is not the main reason why I love it so much. The main reason why I fell in love with this creature is because of its freaking weird facial expressions.

I do not know about you guys but that egg's facial expression truly describes of what I am feeling most of the time, especially the one that says "seriously... I can't...".

Yup, that is me on a daily basis, "Seriously, I just can't, it is too much for me" then go back to bed hiding under my blanket. 😂

Okay, so go get those t-shirts before they are sold out (You have been warned)!

Okay, today's post is not all about Gudetama but about how we embrace our "beauties" through selfie.

Okay okay, please don't puke in front of your computer or laptop, please don't hit the close button and please don't hate me. 😝

So here comes the selfie game. 😂






Okay, you have seen enough, I am sorry that I hurt your eyes 😂 and now, I am going to share some of my FiFi's pictures. At least she is cute and who doesn't like dogs, right?

FiFi as the Little Green Riding Hood.



And look, I had found FiFi in a cookie form and look at those derpy eyes of this cookie, haha!


I really enjoyed being around with my family especially my crazy sisters. The house would be so noisy when the four of us were all together, mom and dad would be like "can you all please be quiet for a second?". 😝

Okay, that is it for this post.

I know it is too late to say this but Happy Chinese New Year to all my friends and family.

Here is a nanoblock 财神爷 (God of Wealth) that I bought for my dad, isn't it cute?
And yes, it came in tiny blocks that you have to assemble yourself.

Happy Birthday to You
You live in a zoo
You look like a monkey
And you smell like one too. 🐵


Some of you may heard this "zoo birthday song" from Madagascar but for me, my dad actually sang that to me when I was a kid and I would be thinking "Huh? Really dad? Do I really smell like a monkey? And how does monkey even smell like?".

Yeah, I was the dumb one in my family, haha!

Last month, we celebrated my BF's 30th birthday. Yeah, he turned 30 last January, sounds old right? I hate to break it to you but, we are actually not young anymore. 😖
Even the 90's babies aren't babies anymore, haha!

Okay, here comes the birthday boy, one of the 80's babies, haha.

Happy 30th birthday my baby (although you are no longer a baby 😝), I wish your every day to be filled with lots of love, laughter, happiness and the warmth of sunshine. Just stay weird and be happy.

We did not know what fancy food to eat for lunch but we decided to try our luck at Bugis because to me, Bugis always seems to be like a place where food lovers would go. And of course, another shopping heaven for me, haha!

My life would not be complete without some shopping therapy during the weekend.
Oh wait, I thought this post was about his birthday, not about me going shopping, haha! Ops, my bad and let's get back on topic which is his birthday.

Okay, where was I? Ahh, the fancy lunch that we talked about earlier.

We walked around Bugis to find a great place for lunch and then we saw this, Mai Maison Restaurant which serves a mix of Japanese and Western food.


Is it only me or restaurants do always have the best window display?

Usually I will get attracted to restaurant with window display that showcasing all their fake food. I don't know about you guys but those "fake food" definitely look delicious than anything else in this world. 😂 (As though they are going to serve me all those fake food 😒)

Okay, now let's take a look at the real food that we ordered for our lunch.

We ordered Potato with Mustard Mayonnaise in Au Grantin Style as our appetizer and it was so delicious! I love potato and shrimp very much and this combination is awesome!


If I were to try to describe my love for potato, I would say I could eat them for the rest of my life without feeling sick. You know when it comes to "choose only one food to eat for the rest of your life and what would you pick?" kind of question, I will definitely pick potato. Potato is life!

Plus there are so many ways to cook a potato so don't worry, you won't get bored easily, haha!

Hello Bloggies!

As you know, I am sometimes (all the time 😒) quite slow in updating my blog and here I am with my Christmas blog post on Chinese New Year. Can you see how slow I am right now? Haha, my apologies for the delay.

A quick flashback to last year's Christmas where I got to spend the holiday with my family in Singapore. My mom and two of my sisters (Ingrid and Hazel) came to Singapore on Christmas eve and they were here for 3 days 2 nights.

It was quite difficult to book a hotel room during peak season; either the room rate was too expensive (since it was peak season) or the location was non-strategic. In the end, I found a room on Airbnb and to my surprise, we actually had a great experience from using Airbnb. It was my first time using Airbnb and I did not realize how easy it was to book a room through Airbnb and you can actually find quite a few rooms that are cheaper than hotel rooms (suitable for budget travelers).

For dog lovers like us, we found ourselves lucky when we knew that there would be dogs in the Airbnb that we rent. Yeah, we are one of those people who will get very excited when we see dogs.




We went to Universal Studio Singapore on the next day to have some fun. You can never say no to theme park and no one is ever too old for theme park. 😉



Okay now, let's go and meet the Minions, my favourite attraction in USS!

How can you not love the adorable and stubby yellow (even though yellow is not my favourite colour) creatures?
And look, Minion headband! 😍


Even mom approved it. 😂


We had a lot of fun at USS despite the hot weather. Just us being crazy together.
Then it started to rain heavily around 5:00 PM and this happened.

Mom was wearing a raincoat and I have no idea what were Ingrid and Hazel thinking. 😂


USS turned into a water park in seconds! Some of the rides were still operated and we decided to ride on one of the roller coasters.

That fun feeling to ride on a roller coaster on a rainy day.

After we got so soaking wet then only we remembered that we did not have any towels and we still had to take the train home.

The next question was how to "un-soaked" ourselves?


Okay, first thought on riding a roller coaster on a rainy day: FREAKING AWESOME!

Actually not that awesome when you can feel the raindrops poking your face like a needle. Ouch! 😣

It was quite depressing when the rain did not show any signs of stopping and slowly, it started to rain heavily. Most of the outdoor rides had to close because of the rain, why rain? Why? 😔

We then decided to witness the World's Largest Indoor Light Bulb Display and it was amazing. I can not imagine how much of efforts they had put in to create this masterpiece.

There were tiny light bulbs (824,961 to be exact) all over the place and the view was beautiful and magical. It was like entering the Narnia world.








In the end, the rain did not stop and we took the train back to VivoCity for dinner. Everyone was hungry after a crazy day at USS, hungry and wet, haha!

Dinner of the day: Monster Curry.

Hazel is a huge fan of Japanese curry rice and she decided to have this for dinner.

Hazel, Ingrid and mom were sharing a huge plate of Chicken Katsu Curry with an additional omelette and the amount of food in this bowl was insane.



To all Japanese curry lovers out there, don't forget to give this a try. 👍

At the end of the day, we were all exhausted but at least everyone was happy.

A holiday well spent with my family and going back to work on the next following Monday after the holiday was freaking blue. 😩

I am so grateful to have the chance to spend the Christmas holiday with my family.
Thank you mom and sis, you guys are awesome. 😘

Okay, that is it for this post, thank you for reading and Happy Chinese New Year.

I know it is too late to say Merry Christmas so buh bye. 👋

Love,
Rachel.
