Heritage tour


Dim Sum time! 

Everyone is preparing to count down to 2012 and i am sitting right in front of my laptop, updating my blog.
Blogging pass the year isn't that bad actually huh. Considering how i used to spend the last minutes of the year mugging for projects. 
Last Thursday boyfriend and i toured around the attractions of Singapore like some tourist! 
Singapore is indeed a tiny dot, there are so limited places we could go. We headed to China Town for Dim Sum at Yan Palace and then to Haw Par Villa. 

I love their Century Egg porridge with deep fried crunchy You Tao. 

Dim Sum with tea is love =) Delicious yet not as fattening. 
We then captured some pictures along the overhead bridge by Hong Lim Complex. 
The building looks like architecture of the past which are coated with new shades of paint. Perfect match of new and old. 

  The walk around Chinatown while waiting for the restaurant to open, becomes worthwhile when i see those nice pictures =) 
 We then arrived to our intended destination. Haw Par Villa. I can't picture myself as a kid in Haw Par Villa, yet i am sure i have been there before. It seems to bring back plenty of memories for Boyfriend. 
 A picture at the entrance. I spotted a few tourist in this picture and encounter many along my tour. It was only a small area that could be easily completed in an hour or so. I can't really understand what so attractive about the place!! 
 Those stories on the board were quite interesting, although i had a hard time trying to figure out the meaning behind the illustration even after reading the story. 
 I insisted that boyfriend have to take a picture with the pillar! Didn't manage to find the exact same spot that the picture was taken almost 20 years ago. 
This was my wall paper for a month plus. My favorite picture! 
Looks similar isn't it! haha. 


2011 was a bumpy journey for me. Being situated at the bottom of the happiness curve, i believe 2012 would be a better year! Definitely! 
Hope it would go well for everyone too! 
Before the year ends, i would like to thank all my loyal reader who drops by from time to time! I am glad there are still people reading this space of mine and contributing to the tiny bits i earn from advertisement of this blog. 
 And also! 
I would like to say a big Thank You to my Boyfriend!!!! 
Thanks for being with me all this while and giving me your best support when i go through the setback of life. 
Sorry that i always flood your shoulder with my tears and throw my temper when i get so frustrated with life. =X
You have been so patient with me and i really appreciate all that a lot a lot! 
There are still so much i wanna say, but before i cause goosebumps to everyone i will leave the rest for you only. 
=) 
Happy 2012 !! 
With XOXO, YUAN XIN

Decemeber leave

  It has been a really long long time since boyfriend and i had a proper date. 
School. work. school. work.
That was my life.
School holiday is finally here for me and boyfriend wanted to clear his leave before the year ends, and finally we had time for each other!
 We caught Mission Impossible and it was definitely worth the time! Ultra thrilling, one of my favorite movie of 2011. 
Had Manhattan fish market because we spotted a really good deal online. 

Just flash this on your phone when you order. We ordered their Fried Country mushroom which was $7.90. The total bill for us added up to be $25 only.

 Munch munch munch! 
 We then shopped around town to hunt for some chinese new year clothing! Didn't manage to get any though. I am really fussy when it comes to clothing. 
But i went home with a pair of bow ring which matches my ear ring from Boyfriend which i really really really like. Was kind of overpriced though, that why i was reluctant to get it initially. 

Had an awesome day just hanging around town with my loved one. 
We went Haw Par Villa today and had Dim Sum! Gonna go for a picnic tomorrow. Good time passes by too quickly. Friday please don't go yet. I haven had enough fun!

Red Christmas















 Had a mini Christmas celebration cum gathering with my lovely poly clique just before Christmas. None of us are catholic or christian, but over the years Christmas has become an occasion for everyone. Especially the retail who seize this opportunity to clear stock. It was also an occasion for us to squeeze out time to get together. We each got a gift and had a gift exchange session. 
Had an awesome catch up session with the girls. Glad that everyone are climbing up the success ladder. I had my last presentation of the semester on the day just before the meetup as well. It marks the end of my first semester as an undergraduate. It have been a fulfilling yet fun four months. 
Would definitely blog more frequently, since holiday is here =) 

Good night for now!

Girl's Generation

I can't believe i haven update my blog for close to a month! This is the longest record i had, university life have been so hectic, i hardly have any time to slack, like how i used to during my poly life. My grandparents were unwell, further dividing my attention during that peak period.  I have been leading a balanced life although it has been all busy, so there are quite a number of photos lined to  be posted up here.  =) 
Boyfriend and i went for SNSD concert two weeks back. I am not that crazy over them, but they dance really well. All the fans were all crazy screaming when they walked near our platform. 
It was an eye opener for me, seeing so so many fans crazy over these nine hot babes.
It was also my first trip to Singapore Indoor Stadium for a concert. 
Had a great time there =) 
Would definitely blog more frequently with my three weeks holiday arriving in another three days. Pretty excited with all that have been lined up for me this holiday, especially CHRISTMAS. Always my favorite. 
Season Greeting!
