Shop festive with Zalora this Chinese New Year!

It's the time of the year again to shop for New Clothes! And Zalora has stocked up on tons of Chinese New Year collection for both guys and ladies!

Their photos for the collection looks great man! It's very trendy and stylish, no more Ching Chong Style for Chinese New Year! I believe in look good, feel great policy la! Haha.

Here are some of my picks for the ladies!

This Placement Floral Dress is so suitable for the lady like ladies, not my type definitely! Haha! I love the Off Shoulder details and I believe the white base dress will bring out the pop of colours for the flower prints! It is also available in Black!
For the lady in you.

For the Fun ladies, I would recommend you to get a pair of Pleated Cullotes as it looks feminine enough but it can help you avoid the hassle of sitting cautiously especially when you are visiting your relative's house where the chairs are "limited edition" #ifyougetwhatimean. Haha. This is more of a simplistic look when you pair it with a light coloured top to make sure even Ah Ma agrees.

If you are those that hate the Chinese New Year colours but still want to look on point on Chinese New Year, I would recommend this Double Layer Lace Dress in Navy. It is NOT Black, so Ah Ma and all your Aunties will not judge you or nag at you when you visit. Haha.

Here's my 2 cents worth of selection for the Gentlemen!

A nice polo tee with something red will be good enough for you gentlemen! And I believe a CN-Color Block Polo Tee will be so much more comfortable than a Shirt la. So Polo Tee for the way!

For those who do not fear the heat, please consider this CN-Suede Frontal Neoprene Bomber Jacket, I think it looks damn good when paired with a white Tee inside just like the model. Very fun & stylish at the same time!

And of course we will have the "I do not like to wear red" gang of brothers, so please look at this CN-Flap Pocket Brushed Cotton Short Sleeve Shirt, I'm sure Grey is a great colour to pair with just about anything!

A good pair of shoe to walk around is crucial with all the intense visiting. This CN-Mixed Material Moccasins looks really good and easy to wear and take off. Imagine you spend 5 minutes taking off your shoe, then your relative stand there wait for you... #awkward Haha.

*All images and information obtained from Zalora but all recommendations and selection is by me, myself and I*

I hope my suggestion is good enough hor, writing this post makes me want to go shopping but I'm broke after Christmas & Penang, so I'll have to wait for my pay check this month to do some Last Minute Shopping!

JUMBO SEAFOOD at THE RIVERSIDE POINT

JUMBO SEAFOOD RIVERSIDE POINT

Way overdue post, this visit was before the Chinese New Year but nonetheless my family had a very good time eating at Jumbo Seafood Restaurant. We dined at the Riverside point outlet. The outlet was full of people during dinner time, must do reservation one hor!!
Deep fried baby sotong
Cereal Prawn
Fried Mee Goreng
Scallop with Broccoli 
Steam Cod Fish
Black Pepper Crab

Everything was so delicious and the bill came up to almost $300! OMG la, Tze Char prices wont be so ex for the same amount of dishes but the amount of seafood and ingredients used in each dish here at Jumbo could be said to me more generous. I do not know if they raised their prices during CNY period anot, but it's definitely a very delicious meal and a happy family time.

{SPS} J Cottz - Special Handmade items you want to own!

With Every Important event comes a dilemma, What to wear?! And for ladies my size, I believe it is hard to get clothes suitable for some occasions sometimes and we would be going through a huge panicky mode and in the end we just grab what ever we deem fit and head out. And I Often Regret being Underdressed and feeling inferior, #suckstobeme. But this year, I was introduced to a shop in TOWN AREA, at *Scape Underground. The Shop is called J Cottz ! YAY! *Throws Confetti*

Pic Credit: Pingerrain.com
Owner Joanna Opened J Cottz not only selling Plus Sized Items, She also sells small sized/free sized clothes for slimmer people and what's special about J Cottz is that Joanna does many Homemade Accessories too, and best of all, they are available for customization and wholesale too! Why not make this a party favour for the ladies instead of a normal cup or card? :)

Joanna brings in unique designs for plus sized and free sized clothes and I was spoilt for choices when I was there. Joanna allows customers to try on the clothes before buying but you have to inform her first ya! :) Let me show you what I got from J Cottz Plus Sized Range!

This Unique Sweet pastel dress caught my eye immediately and I told myself that I must get it! This dress not only has sweet colours on it, the prints are my favourite French Dessert, Macarons! Oh how lovely this dress is and The Material is definitely good, it's thick but not too thick to make me sweat too much in Singapore's weather, and the elastic waist band gives me allowance to eat more CNY Goodies (oops, I should start my diet plan soon). But also, If I slimmed down slowly, I can still wear this dress due to the elastic waist band, so THUMBS UP & MAJOR LOVE for this dress!




The Next Item I chose was more of a CNY Feel + Can Wear to work kind of Long Top which can also wear to go out style. Haha, Versatile piece inded! 

The Red Checkered design is bright enough and the black panel detail at the side makes me look *cough* slimmer *cough* And Best of All, it has pockets at the side which allows me to put my handphone and some simple small items inside which I Like because when I'm at work, I always need my phone with me but sometimes my pants has no pockets then I have to hold my phone on my hand and then I cannot do things properly you know? You Know? -catch breath- Haha, You get it la hor? :)


I'm definitely heading back to J Cottz because I heard there are more things coming soon and their Pre-Order is also starting soon! And I can head down with my other friends who are slimmer than me because J Cottz Offers clothes for a wide range of sizes so there will be Something for Everyone! 

Be sure to like their Facebook Page - J Cottz for the latest update and also Like my Facebook Page or Add me On Facebook to ask me any questions! :)

Tandoor accentuates the auspicious Yusheng for its Chinese diners‏

It My 2nd Favourite Time of the Year, It's Chinese New Year where family members gather around to reunite for a meal or 2, with little kids running around the house and unlimited steamboat everywhere and mahjong sessions till late at night. This year, CNY is coming early and Tandoor has something special for it's diners to indulge in this joyous season!

Flavoured with a myriad of spices such as cumin powder, coriander, nutmeg, onion, ginger and sweetened with the palatable mango juice, the Yusheng sauce is an appetizing mix conjured to bring a refreshing stream of good blessings and prosperity to the Year of the Horse.
The salad itself presents popular traditionally used ingredients including dried mandarin orange, nutmeg, red and yellow ginger, carrots and julienne lettuce, together with a dash of sweet winter melon to lend extra sweetness to the days ahead.
Diners can choose to have the Yusheng with Abalone or Fresh Salmon to kick start their meals at Tandoor or takeaway for homely celebrations from 25 January to 14 February 2014.

Understanding some things in life

Have you ever feel like you could almost touch the clouds?
Have you ever sat down and just stare at the sky and watch the clouds change?
Well, I guess if you stayed in a house which is higher than 20 floors, 
you could actually reach the Sky, If you reach high enough.

I went to visit a 23 Storey High PentHouse Located at East Coast Area.
I wonder how people manage to own houses here. But the surrounding is definitely quiet and peaceful.
(Well except if there are Expensive Luxury Cars Going Around all the time, Then its different.)


Visuals Ahead..


-awkward smile with teeth-


-No Filter/Edits-


-You Can See My foot-


-Expensive Alcahol-
The bottle cap itself cost afew hundred. :O


It must be a luxury to stay in places like this and its a matter of how your life was previously.
I believe in reincarnation, so please do good in this life so that you can enjoy the luxuries in your next life and just continue the cycle. I believe that if you do good things to people, even if they do not repay you in anyway or appreciate your kind doings, you yourself will feel great helping people isint it? :)

I realize there are little kindness going around in our generation. As well as the trust between people is getting very low. My parents told me that in their times, They did not have to lock their doors at night even when they whole family is asleep. I think that this shows how much trust they have for each other although they may not be blood related. Its the way you treat people and how people treat you back, Its a Cycle. ^^


Hope you get what I'm trying to say.
Conclusion: Be kind to others and others will be kind to you too! ♥






XOXO,

Chinese New Year's Eve!

Hello Everyone! How are you today ? ^^
Counting your ang pows already? :P Well, Not For Me, I need to wait until the last day of Chinese New Year Then I can Open my Ang Pows. OMG THE SUSPENSE! Hahaha!
But I sure hope this year de "Economy" will be better ah! lol.

So here's what I did on Chinese New Year's Eve.
I woke up, Ate Breakfast, Wash some laundry and Changed my Bedsheet! YAY!
Why Yay? Because I can finally change into my Hello Kitty Bedsheet! *Throws Confetti*


And Here's What I wore to the Reunion Dinner at my Aunt's Place. *Don't Judge*

So how did your Chinese New Year Eve Went? Was it a good one? Did you gamble? Or did you just stuff yourself silly with all the yummy food and new year goodies? Hahaha. Regardless of whatever you did on this day, Im sure there must be something for you to smile and remember about! Cheers for Ang Pows!
