A Very Average X'mas!

A very Merry X'Mas to all you lovely people out there! As cliche as it may sound, this is the season of giving and of course receiving! I am so glad the day has finally arrived and all the Xmas shopping, cracking your head over what will be the perfect gift to buy or how much to spend so that you do not poke too big of a hole into your wallet! I hope you guys have received many presents and got what you wished for! ( I did a pre - Xmas photoshoot as the place was simply too beautiful to resist!)

For this Xmas of mine, I always spend it with my family and I believe so do many of you. Usually, we would spend literally the entire day out and take advantage of every second this festive day has to offer. However, as I grow older and also lazier I wanted it to be kinda chill and relax. Not forgetting, so far 2016 has really screwed me up in ways I didn't know it was possible. So to not disappoint myself too much on this day my family and I decided to head to Gardens by the Bay in Singapore for their Xmas themed event. Honestly, I wasn't really into going but I do want to get into the mood and spirit of Xmas and get some Xmas vibes going!

To my luck, not long after arriving at the place it started to pour and it literally rained on my parade! God help me! I should have stayed at home! There was a sheltered area nearby where inside the place there are wintery activities like ice sliding, ice skating and a snow playground for kids, however, one has to purchase a ticket before entering ( as if the didn't leech enough money off of our entrance fee they are charging for activities inside as well). People were swarming into the sheltered place I was talking about and those who do not have the ticket were not allowed to enter( luckily we went ahead and purchase a ticket). People were pushing and shoving their way through the place, and I too was forced to push my way through! What an awesome way to bask in the spirit of Xmas, by pushing and shoving!

Well, the rain did not stop but it reduced to a light shower. Though the day did not turn out as expected but it was still nice to spend Xmas with my family. the remaining few days of 2016 seemed bleak and I do not hold high expectations for it to be smooth for me.

Notice how I attempt to dress to the occasion with Xmas colours! I am so in love with my sweater from Bershka! I swear the place is now on my top shopping list for shops to visit aside from Uniqlo, H&M and Topman!

Hey December!

OH MY GOSH!!! It is already the month of December and 2016 is about to come to an end! I am so sorry for not posting in like aeons, and I am not going to give any excuses about how busy I was ( See what I did there ><) However, I am back and ready to blog like there's no tomorrow ( Do not take that too literally .... )

December has been my favourite time of the year, not only because the year is ending and exams are over but the also the most festive time of the year.  Aside Holloween being one of my favourite occasion but second to that I in love with Christmas. You know it is already December when you walk down the streets of Orchard Road ( the shopping district in Singapore) and you notice the amazing Christmas decor and the beautiful lights hung across the streets, this simply screams photo shoot opportunity.I thoroughly enjoy the joy of giving and how Christmas vibes fill the air. A season of giving and happiness, a warm and fuzzy feeling I couldn't put in words.

I love doing my Christmas shopping early as I love to customise the gifts I am giving to. I am not a fan to simply buying any gifts for the sake of giving one, but putting thought and effort into the gifts and the thought process as to whether the person will be using it ( So that I will not waste my money on some useless gifts which will ultimately be forgotten or put aside). Hence, if any of you guys are like me you will understand how disastrous will be if I do my Christmas shopping last minute. Have any of you guys started doing your Christmas shopping yet? Buying gifts for your best friends are the easiest as you know them so well and you kinda have an idea what they like or you have reached a level of friendship where you just ask what do they want for Christmas. Moreover, there are plenty of Christmas sales and for a shopaholic like myself, it is simply heaven.
