All things glitter

It's Christmas time! I have loved celebrating christmas all along. I remember I didn't really celebrate Xmas in 2010, it was just simple dinner with J after 2 weeks of not meeting him. And this year's has been great so far. It feels pretty good to give myself a reason to shop for gifts, be it for myself or others. Got my parents gifts, presents for Gift exchange. Gotta enjoy the process of shopping for the gifts, don't get to do it very often.

I have time to blog right now because I chose to stay home instead of going out with J. Wanted to rest early but ended up updating this blog. Anyway..... photos!

Met up with Hua and Mel last night @ Town for dinner and a catch up session. Havent been meeting them alot and I miss 'em so much. The both of them are always so artistic and thoughtful to give me hand-made cards. I'm never ever good at making cards. I did one for Hua's birthday once back in secondary school and it was a big mistake. She knows, for sure.

We will not grow apart, well.... I will never ever forget the friends I made in secondary school. They are like the people I grew up with and how we took care of each other, had fun with each other. Cheap thrills but these are what makes the memories count.

I know who I can count on to pull me back to my true self when Im lost. You know who you are :)

Finally got my hands on the Naked Palette from Urban Decay. It is worth EVERY cent. Just started playing with the colors today.

Christmas dinner & gathering at J's sister's place. I had fun there! Food, wine, gifts. What more can I ask for? Everyone was so nice and it feels good to be celebrating Christmas together with so many people. Not to mention, J's sis was sucha good host!

Just check out the spread, yummers.

Honestly, if there's anything that I miss about Christmas, it's how my Family used to decorate the Xmas tree together, how my younger brother and I would collect all our presents and place them under the Christmas tree and we could only open them on Christmas day itself. I can remember the anticipation and excitement. I would give absolutely anything for that to happen once again, together as a Family.

Our old Christmas tradition.

Also wished Nel was in Singapore, we might just be drinking our ass off right now. There's so many people I miss on this special day. But anyhow.........

Have yourself a Merry little Christmas! (virtual hug)
