Merry Christmas in Vancouver

WAZZZ UPPPPP!

This is my first post in 2013!

I am determined to make a change, so I finally decided not to be lazy and it starts by uploading pictures... And documenting my life on my blog with some recently taken pictures. YAY! Christmas was food, shopping, and bright lights, all in one.

On Christmas eve, my aunt made turkey - my very first turkey dinner!!! And it was just so good! I forgot to take pictures, the turkey was huge, and the side dishes were amazing! Super tasty, nothing I didn't like! I even ate the brussel sprouts, which I never thought I'd like! At that moment, I wished my brother were there - he LOVED meat (and he wanted turkey!). 

Anyhow, after dinner, my cousins brought BB and I to Trinity Street. At Trinity Street, Christmas comes alive, in terms of flashing lights, music, and decorations. They host a competition every single year for the best decorated houses along the street! And, I am telling you, these houses take it very seriously. There were so many amazing entries, and the pictures are nothing like what I saw - a fucking beautiful sight. There was music, and santa clauses around to take pictures with people. Wow, the effort they put into all this is just crazy!!! Okay, pix!!!!!

How the residents vote! 

Love the candy cane lane!!!

Can you say effort??? With a capital E! I mean, capital EFFORT!

Hi Santa!!! (And my fucking chubby face.)

Miniature xmas tree lights lane! Uber cute ^^

This tree looks simple in the picture. It was like an LED light display, there was music, the lights kept changing, it was flashing, there were so many patterns and colors! I wish I could upload a video, but the video I took wasn't very nice, unfortunately! 

And that is all for Trinity Street! Please pardon my photography skills! I'm still learning!

On Christmas, I went to Aberdeen Centre - an Asian mall (LOL I was practically in Asia), and it was the only mall open on Christmas day! The other malls, and places downtown were all closed. I bet this never happens in Singapore!!! Hahaha! 

I finally tried dan zai from a Hong Kong food stall there! It was pretty good, I wish one day I will be able to try the real stuff :)

What's up! My very simple Xmas outfit; #ootd! 

At Santouka Hokkaido Ramen, where we ate the most amazing ramen in the world. If anybody wants to come to Vancouver/Victoria to visit me, I will definitely bring you here! Weeeee. #goodfoodforlife #eatuntilshiok

So, that sums up my Christmas and winter break in Vancouver! It was a great food trip (as usual). And I bought a lot of snacks (as usual). I can't wait to go back to Vancouver already! Shopping there is freaking amazing! But, Victoria is going to get her own bit of shops too :) Forever 21 just opened here, and H&M will be coming soon ^^ I hope Zara, and Topshop decide to come too!!! And I will never need a reason to go to Vancouver! (Actually food might just be the reason...) School has started for me, but not everybody else, so I hope everyone is enjoying their breaks right now! :)

How's everybody enjoying their new year? ^^ Have fun, and be safe everyone!

Goodbye, 2012

WARNING: EXTREMELY PICTURE HEAVY! 

Pictures are in no particular order!

So, it is the end of yet another year!!! As I am in Canada, well, I still have another 10 minutes till 2013. I remember vividly that at this time last year, I was at Times Square in NYC - where I almost froze to my death. This year, I am counting down in a completely different manner. I am in my PJs, in bed (at a friend's place), eating asian tidbits and watching friends. YEAH, SO UNCOOL. I kinda wish that I were in a sparkly dress, at a club or something. But unfortunately, laziness got the better of me, and hence, I am here, typing this entry!

2012 has been a really crazy year of funny faces, food, travel, more food, fun, and love. This year (probably the last time I can say this) I got the opportunity to travel with all my friends, and family. I think in summer alone, I was in and out 4-5 countries. I also got really lucky around food. My bf/friends always take me out to have good food, and good food makes me happy! And I love Asih, who makes the MOST amazing meals ever! I am so looking forward to getting back to Singapore for more Asian food loving! In 2012, my boyfriend and I turned 2! We are turning 3 next year!!! Isn't it amazing? I've been quite a handful, thanks for sticking by me babe! I love you ^^

HEY MR LOH ZY! YOU READING THIS? Happy 32 months!!! WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY??? I love you very very much! XOXO ^^

Another amazing year has passed, and, since the world didn't end, I predict that 2013 is going to be way more awesome!!! There are a ton of stuff I'm looking forward to: the Canada/USA road trip w my family and boyfriend, Jeremy (aka my brother) coming to Vanc for college, getting my own car - in Canada (CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!), back home in summer for a month, possibly a UK exchange program in the fall term of 2013 (otherwise Spring/Summer 2014), etc etc. I can't wait!!!!! I hope everything turns out as I have planned! And it will the most amazing year yet!

I also came up with a couple of resolutions - which I really should keep:

1. I want to be more appreciative of the things around me. I don't want to keep taking things or people for granted.
2. To be able to wear whatever I want to, whenever I want to, wherever I want to, and not feel overdressed (or crazy). I always dress down/casual because of the people around me. I need to know that it is not my fault that people don't like to dress up as much as I do! I have too many nice clothes that are always stuck in my cupboard... (refer to quote pix below)
3.  Start reading more often! I have to finish the few books I have in my dorm! And I have a few other books on my mind I really want to get my hands on! (John Green's series of books - I might just get the whole set...)
4. Actually, really start on losing weight. Exercise regularly! No more mindless eating!!!
5. Plan for the UKUKUK - hopefully!
6. When I finally live off campus, learn to cook and take fucking good care of myself.
7. Get rid of my laziness
8. Go on a ton of road trips!!!!!!!!!

Please pardon me for all the words and rambling... 2013 is going to be a fucking good year, I can tell! I'm looking forward to it already! BRING IT ON! Welcoming the new year in bed with friends playing! & I've never felt better! ^^

Goodbye, 2012! I guess I won't be seeing you - ever!
