Merry Christmas Loves!

iPhone 5

After waiting forever, it's finally here! Not a lot of people is excited about the iphone 5 and i completely understand why. I mean c'mon, a bit longer, a bit thinner. What's the big deal right? BUT to me it's a big deal! This makes my FIRST non hand-me-down phone LOL.

The purpose of a big brother is that they are up to date with technologies and once they decide to upgrade, their junk become yours. So, safe to say i never had to worry about getting a phone in the past. Mind you, i was never one of the cool kids with the hot gadgets to begin with.

Also these are old pictures, but here in Toronto, i saw the world's longest dragon in the works and as they announced they made it to the Guinness books of records. YAY. I wish i took more pictures.

Also how was everyone's thanksgiving? But turkey idea didn't work out so the fam and i drove up to Niagara Falls to have thanksgiving dinner at the buffet and try our luck with the slots.

Bird was good, but luck wasn't on our side that night.

Old Mill Inn and Spa

The past long weekend, i attended one of my co-worker's wedding at The Old Mill Inn & Spa. Such a nice vintage hotel with a beautiful garden. It's huge and also serves high tea.

Anyways. I love attending weddings, so happy for her!

Year of the dragon (rawr)

Yikes, another late post. I meant to post this on the day of, but it has been such a busy week!

Happy belated Lunar new years everyone!

Wish everyone happy, healthy, and wealthy!!!

I had a lot of family dinners this week to celebrate with different people, oh boy I need to go on a diet! I had a big family dinner with my relatives at a restaurant on the day of, buffet dinner with my moms side, a feast at work as well as 2 more big meals my mom made!

Christmas Season

Happy Belated New Years Everyone!!!!

Late post! This is going to be a long one haha. December has always been the busiest month for me!

There's Christmas parties, secret Santa events, Christmas day, boxing day, my birthday, new years eve and BOOM New Years Day. Where has all the time gone!?

This December, we had a family reunion (well partly, so hard to get everyone together). At the same time, we celebrated my dearest grandmother's birthday at Mandarin buffet. She loves food, and she can out eat anyone! Love her to death, she is SO cute!

 The bf and i had also went to this Christmas market at the Distillery District. There was a lot of beer! A lot of  Christmas decorations, a giant tree, booths, and sales indoors. It was overall really festive. Unfortunately it was really cold that night so every few minutes we had to hide inside to keep warm. We didn't stay very long.

My long time friend and her sweetheart recently got engaged and they bought a house together. We had her house warming Christmas party there and we played secret santa as well. I love doing secret santa with them, because we play the Santa steal version, makes it so much exciting!

Come Christmas Day, the bf came over early in the morning to get me out of bed to open presents from under the Christmas Tree. I felt like a kid again, always so happy on that day!
I didn't take pictures of all the gifts i received, but i got some from managers, co-workers, friends and everyone was so thoughtful. I'm really thankful to have known these wonderful people.

The bf got me an iMac! omg i died!
This was very unexpected, and such a wonderful Christmas it is! Best present i can ever receive! Thanks hunnie! He had always been complaining about the PC I've been using, saying how it's slow, noisy and a piece of junk. And me being the non techno nerd, knows nothing about computers...i would never think about buying a new computer myself because well...where do i even start? What am i supposed to look for?

I always wanted an iMac! It's a whole new world to learn but i love playing with photoshop and this will be PERFECT!

We spent Christmas Day together at my place just enjoying each other's company. We made rice crispy squares together, made home made lasagna and watched movies. I wish holidays lasted longer :(

Boxing day was a huge dissapointment for me. I went to a big mall with my friend and we shopped for nearly the entire day but there wasn't a lot of good deals going on, just lots and lots of people. All i got were a pair of wedges and a bag full of anti bacterial hand soap from bath and body (50% OFF). Dissapointed!

I'll update you guys on my Birthday next =)

Happy belated New Years once again. Chinese New Years is coming up soon, how many of you celebrate? I know for my family Chinese New Years is much bigger for them than Jan 1st New Years.

I'm not going to bother making much New Years resolutions this year since i never follow through. But from the top of my head i will list 10

1. Take my vitamin D and vitamin C pill everyday!!!
2. Drink more water!!!
3. Less online shopping (less shopping in general, and only buy pieces that will last me a long time)
4. Eat healthier
5. Eat less candy
6. Apply for new jobs
7. Spend more time on blogging
7. Take more pictures
8. Speak my mind
9. Do not compare your life to other people's (this one is hard)
10. Follow your heart

Hey guys,

Sorry for my last two posts, I've reached a point where i felt very disappointed with my life and didn't know what to do with myself. Then the vision of my future seemed real foggy and i didn't know how to deal with that. Maybe it's a quarter life crisis (I'm turning 25 this month...). People around me are getting married, having kids, buying houses, building their future and most of all, they have love and support in their life. I'm not getting that feeling, and the fact makes me very scared and very sad. The road ahead is very blurry and i don't know how to take the next step forward.

Thank you for all your reassuring words and taking the time to talk to me as well as offering advice and showing concern. Blogging has always been a happy past time for me, and the best part is meeting all you wonderful people. I wish we can all meet up one day, being scattered around the world is not an easy thing, but then again, my dream is to be able to travel the world. If that ever does get fulfilled, i'm sure i'll be able to meet you lovelies. You guys make the blogging experience that much better for me. Since it's the season to give thanks, i really want to thank all of you that follows my blog. You are all so nice and leave the sweetest comments.

I don't want to be so gloomy, especially in the blogging world. I set up my Christmas tree today and it defiantly made me feel a lot warmer inside.

I want to thank Sharlene from *I-Lashes for giving me this lovely necklace. Back in October, I've won her giveaway when she was doing a "guess what i'm going to be for Halloween". She dressed up as Black Swan (a really hot one!). Thank you Sharlene, i love it so much!
She is so sweet, she also included a cute hello kitty tooth pick holder with a mirror, i've never seen anything like it before! She also wrote a short and sweet card for me <3

I also want to thank Aki! from 7% Solution for giving me "Kreativ Blogger" Award. I feel so "awww" whenever i get these sort of things. Please check her out, she has such a cute blog. She talks about life, fashion, food...everything! Not to mention she's a really good cook too!
I'm sorry i'm not following the rules, but i really don't know which 10 people to give this to since it hink all of you deserve this award and also, another 10 things about myself? I'm really not that interesting.
