It’s been so incredibly HOT here that i can’t wait to get to France soon. I just checked the current temperature is at 9°C in Paris, and 6°C in Bordeaux. It’ll probably dip when we’re there in a few days so i’ll be going from one extreme temperature to another. I think i prefer it being cold tho… (i say that NOW but when i’m shivering in pain, we’ll see).
So many of my friends are already on holiday, some have stopped taking in work, some have closed their businesses for the year…
Someone asked when *my* holiday starts, and i said, “It starts when i’m ON THE FLIGHT.”
I can’t wait to go and not think about work or money, and just EAT and cuddle up and drink and play in the snow and open presents and give presents and ahhhhh COME ON SATURDAY! HURRY UP!

Random instagrams from my past week 😀
I had a Melium voucher to use cos i modelled for one of their ads for Dome cafe a couple ‘o months ago, and topped up to get the Givenchy Bambi tote that just came into KL a week ago 😀 I asked to be on the waiting list for this bag, heard that there was also a number of people who put their names down, and pleaded with Ling from Melium when i saw her at an event to push me up the list heehee. Thanks Ling!!!

Had our annual Christmas dinner with the Formerfree girls at Cava in Bangsar. Food was so-so. Some dishes were great and some were meh. I don’t have the group shot of us so here’s one of Sarch and Didi.
Stealing Rahul’s caption for it >

We did our Secret Santa thing and i got toys and bubbles from Sueann.
After dinner Clouds and i went to El Cuarto to join Clem, Rahul, Tercia and Leonie for drinks.
Merry Christmas!!!
Cloud and Fairy love! <3

Oh i just HAD to put a pic of this cake from Souka which was leftover from our Lovelies Christmas dinner (will blog about that later!)
It’s thick yummy cream (i love eating cream!!!) atop compact moist chocolate with an equally compact delicious crust at the bottom. I don’t even know what it’s called cos Steph bought it. I had such a great time eating it all by myself in front of the TV… this is officially my current favourite dessert!!!

I went by Lisa’s house to purchase some of her handmade necklaces for Christmas pressies! She sells them online too at Oxoloco.blogspot.com but they’re so much better to pick and buy in person.
Lisa is one of the sweetest and smallest people i know, and she’s crazy creative. She sources all these semi-precious stones and vintage jewellery pieces online from all over the world, and makes them into various one-off necklaces and earrings. Super nice. I am not even going to go into how much i spent at hers.
I don’t want to put up pix of what i bought cos then i’ll be giving away what i got for some ladies who haven’t opened their presents yet! I love the sea-blue one above, which i’m gonna go back for tomorrow… :p
See more pix of her creations in my previous blogpost *here*

On Wednesday night last week, i cooked a small dinner for Rahul, Aps, Jess and Danny. I’m not doing our annual Christmas do this year cos we’ll be away… so i thought i’ll just cook a small dinner for Aps and Danny, then invited the other two too.
Rahul, and Wilson on his special chair.
It was really nice and Clem and i realised how much MORE OFTEN we should be throwing parties at home instead of going out! We’re gonna do more of that when we move into our new place. I CANNOT WAIT FOR IT TO BE READY! If i’m lucky and if renovations go smoothly, MAYBE we can move in by March. I hope! I can’t wait… i’m planning to do one bedroom up to be a TOY ROOM where we can chill and play in there, and also, to contain all my toys in one area so Clem doesn’t have to face all my toys every day. I wanna build a swing in the doorway, and put astroturf on the balcony and make it look like a garden with nice plants! I wanna have a huge kitchen with an island, and a big dining table for dinners! I want the bathroom to have black granite and rain showers… ahhh can you tell i just CAN’T WAIT?! Our first real home! Anddd Aps bought the unit below me so i can pass things down to her with a fishing line or something haha!!

Clem and i had our annual Christmas dinner with the sotongs at Cammy and Kenny’s place this year. Each couple takes turns to host every year so next year it’ll be our turn again!
Clem wrapped Matt’s Christmas present in newspapers -_- Men. Some people commented on IG that it’s good to recycle bla bla and i AGREE but i can tell you it was not his intention! I added the ribbons so it wouldn’t look so pathetic.
Cameron in his Santa suit!!! SO CUTE. He started getting moody after awhile tho cos it was too hot, and Cammy reluctantly took it off. This is why you have children… so you can dress them up and torture them XD
Thank you for cooking Cammy!!!
Mattrena gave us all a holiday as our Christmas presents! Merci beaucoup! Which is so great cos then we’ll all get to spend more time together 😀 😀 😀
Kenny’s present is still on the way from the US so he was whining he had no present -_- Matt: “See, someone always cries. Every year, some kid will always cry at Christmas.” So true…
Kenny and Cammy got us this cool sign! Such a great idea! They also got me an electric pepper grinder WHICH I LOVE cos i cook so much and hate having to grind pepper continuously when i need lots! I meant to buy it for myself but got so busy i didn’t get to it and NOW i have it mwahaha!! (wow, i’ve become such an auntie that a kitchen appliance excites me so :p)
In non-aunty manner, Clem and i went to Thirst after 6 hours of Christmas merrymaking.
SOMEONE STOLE MY HULA HOOP 🙁
It was just when we arrived too! Clem and i were having our first beer and i was showing him something on my phone for 30 seconds and the hoop was resting against a platform which was just next to me, and then it was GONE. I was kinda upset for 30 minutes, and walked around the VIP area looking for it, and Uncle Callen even helped me look but to no avail.
After that i just thought to myself that i just have to let it go… it’s happened. What can i do. It sucks. It’s probably my own karma for stealing other things when i’m drunk so… but still. It’s also my birthday present from Yishyene two years ago and such a beautiful swirly colour boohoo!!! Ok ok i’m stopping. I’m letting it go, letting it go. I guess this is an excuse to buy a new hula hoop AND an LED one.

On Sunday, I went for dinner with my brother and Matthew. We had bak kut teh at Centrepoint and i managed to pass him his Christmas and birthday present combined. I booked Clem and myself a much-wanted spa session at Energy Spa. We love the place so much we bought 2 packages and keep one at each outlet in Mont Kiara and Jalan Ampang :p Viji has these magic hands that just made me feel so much better. Magic healing hands!
After our massage, we went to 1U to watch Frozen! Before that i convinced Clem to eat at Putien cos i wanted to have the garlic cockels. Damn OD on garlic tho… i could still taste garlic in my mouth before i went to sleep that night :p
Disney’s Frozen was AWESOME!!!!!! It reminded me of the old Disney movies with MAGIC and SONG and LOVE! I wanna watch it again! I instagramed how i love it and how i went to watch it with Clem, and he said, “You know, you don’t have to say that i went to watch it with you…” Why not!? Are you ashamed you went to watch a DISNEY movie with me!? But Disney is for everyone! How can you be ashamed of Disney! And because you said that, see, now i had to go mention it on my blog.

I had lunch at Fat Spoon with Sarah cos it’s been months since we caught up proper with each other. I totally overate that day… had the fried oysters to start, then the moo moo rice bowl, then a nangka and ice cream dessert that Chelle gave us, a hot chocolate, and two glasses of water co it was so hot that day. I could barely work after that.

Yesterday i had lunch with Tai Yong. He took me to the BEST BEEF noodles in town (can’t believe i’ve never been). It’s called Lai Foong and the coffeeshop has been there since the 50s. Oh btw Tai Yong owns Lust in Changkat, and if you’re looking for a place to party, that’s where you should go 😉

ANTM @ Butter Factory KL
* below written by SweetEe *
No words can describe how excited I was when I heard the news that the top 5 finalists of ANTM (America’s Next Top Model) cycle 20 was coming to Malaysia!
The event was held in Butter Factory, KL, supported by Guess Malaysia.
Jourdan has a pair of really LONG legs. She is quite cheeky in real life, and couldn’t stop moving on stage!
The crowd went NUTS, almost everyone (talking bout the BOYS and girls here) was shrieking the moment they spotted the finalists. And yes, they DO look better in real life.
They were so friendly too! After the runway show and interview, they were taking pictures with the crowd, lying down or sitting on the stage, with huge, warm smiles. I could see that they were really really happy to see so much affection from Malaysia.
I like Cory the most, cause he has such pretty eyes. 🙂 And also cos he’s so cheeky and funny.
Who do you love most?
