Gong Xi Fa Chai~!!

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!ヽ(*⌒∇⌒*)ノ

Wishing you all a joyful and prosperous new year!

Happy CNY~!

Went back to home sweet home last Wednesday for CNY and had the most relaxing time. It was just for 4 days but can you believe it if I say it's the longest I've been at home ever since I started working?!! By Sunday morning, I'm already back to KL since I followed sis back even though I took a day off today. This is also the longest break I've taken fml (=__= )

Work + study life *sigh* I really ought to take more breaks and spend time with family more often. Need to make this part of my 2015 resolutions!

Took the train home and got this photo on the way back~ I'm sorta obsessed with looking at the colors of sky especially when the sun is setting or rising #simplethings

Sunrise at CNY Eve 2015

Got back home and mom just kept feeding us wth. I think I gained weight already crap (T▽T) Time to brush off the dust from my running shoes...

Here are some of the stuff we had for meals at home. For cny eve, we had roasted duck and pork, soup, Hokkien jiu hu char (fried vegetables with dried squid, a must every year) and curry chicken. Day 1 since we went out, we sorta tapau-ed. Forgot to take photo, my bad.

For day 2, we have more veges, vege soup, chicken and curry fish head~

CNY Day 2 Meals

Non-stop feast even on day 3 wth. Mom prepared steamboat since we were expecting visitors.

We don't usually do steamboat so YAYYY (((*°▽°*)八(*°▽°*)))

CNY Day 3 Steamboat

A lot right? This didn't include the fish, prawns or greens yet. We were like, "how to finish?!", but thankfully our guests can eat hahahah. Btw, took this photo while standing on a stool LOL

The exciting part of steamboat, waiting for the soup to boil (≧◡≦)

I brought back a bottle of my favorite Umeshu to share~ It's my favorite alcohol beverage because it tastes sweet though I don't drink often (ღˇ◡ˇ)~♥

Choya Umeshu for CNY :D

Homemade chocolates my friend gave when he came to visit~

Happy Valentine's Day!

Well, Happy belated Valentine's Day LOL


How did your Vday went? I hope everyone, whether you're in a relationship or rocking single (like I am) had a lovely day!


My Vday was simply spent appreciating me time and scribbling on some Chinese New Year cards I got from Typo while burning Peony scented candle which I just bought from H&M. I'm addicted to this scent nau (ღˇ◡ˇ)~❤


Also, indulged in these awesome Hakodate's Mel Cheese from Isetan's current food fair. Re-sharing though I posted on my Instagram already because it's so worth sharing LOL


Hakodate Mel Cheese cake


And for lunch, I sorta treated myself to this amazing Wasabi-marinated scallops which I also bought from the fair (Ate it with rice and other dishes).


Do not judge them by their plain appearance, they're so very yummy I'm hooked!


wasabi marinated hotate (scallops)


Also get to sample some others like the marinated seaweed and oysters which is equally good *wipe drool* Last time I had oyster, I swore I wouldn't touch another because it tasted like the sea wth. Making exceptions this time.


Contemplated if I should stock up on them but then I remembered we have a crappy refrigerator here... ( ; Д ; )

Later that day, while still grieving over my little 'loss', I found love again wth. Window shopped and I found a super nice army green cardigan blazer. It was the last piece on the shelf in my size and IMO gives off the casual, a bit Korean-stye vibe when worn unbutton. Will share with you what it looks like on my Instagram since I'm planning to wear it soon!


~♥~


And oh yesss, CNY's is just in a few days' time _ THIS Thursday_ and I'm so-o excited!  I'll be heading back home for a couple of days to celebrate. It has been a while since I get to spend time with my parents and have good ol' home cook food. All the CNY cookies too weeee ☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆


Alritey, will be blogging again soon but need to pack a lil' bit some more before I sleep so gotta say chao for nau~
