#42 Feliz Navidad!

"tis the season to be jolly!"
So happy that Christmas is finally here!!! 
Heard this first during Christmas Service but Pentatonix's version is so so much better!!!

2 days of Christmas Celebration starts here!!!
Buffet Lunch on 23/12 at The Square @ Furama. 
I think this tops the list of the most expensive meal we ever had! 
$55++ per person but there's the 1 for 1 credit card promotion so we paid $64.75 in total for 2. Expected more variety for such pricing and a hotel buffet but mehhhhh. 
I was basically stuffing myself with salmon sashimi, boiled prawns, cereal crayfish and ribeye. 
We ate so much sashimi till we were saying we can stop eating sashimi for the next 6 months. 
But I realized I was so terribly wrong because I didn't mind having some sashimi the very next day! 
I guess this shows that salmon sashimi is my one true love ♥ 
Deserts weren't too bad according to C because they had the vanilla sauce for their Chocolate Cake Pudding (?) and some crumble cake which was constantly empty LOL so I guess it's really good. Didn't like the creme brulee though but I was so happy that there's eclaire! So bloated at the end but it was raining so it spoiled our remaining plan to go Orchard and Gardens by the Bay and we just went straight back to hall. 

Next day was the trip to S.E.A Aquarium since we managed to get cheap tickets! :D 
The original ticket price of $38 is such a scam! 
We finished the place even faster than River Safari and could be even faster if not for the Christmas Eve crowd. 
I rather spend my money on something else that can last me a full day or at least half a day. 
Didn't take much photos either since I don't appreciate fishes as much as bears/lions/horses unless you're talking about salmon sashimi hahahaha!

 This thing actually moves but rather lame show really. Not even educational.



 This stingray is damn cute instead of swimming like other stingrays it prefers to blob up and down. We went round the aquarium twice and both times it was doing the same thing.
Watching jellyfish blob up and down can be rather therapeutic surprisingly.

Off to Gardens by the Bay after dinner. 
It was drizzling when we reached and I was so sad ): 
Have wanted to come here ever since exam ended and it actually rained when I finally came??? 
C was like saying "you wanna just go?" and I interpreted it as go home instead and I felt pretty sad ): But he actually meant just proceed with plan despite the rain. 
And so we braved the drizzle (which eventually became lighter) to where the Spalliere is.

It is so damn chioooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, even better on camera! 
Even though the so called snow was foam but it was quite an experience. 
Being in the Spalliere during Blizzard Time (Fake snow blizzard LOL) despite the rain and muddy patches was rather magical I will say. 

Merry Merry Christmas!!!! (:

#40

 First photo after exams! Right outside the exam venue with the worst paper of the sem. But this also concludes the end of Year3 in NTU!!! GOODBYEEEEEEEEEEEE will be back in year 4 (: So excited about not having to study for 4 months. 
First meal after liberation at Paradise Dynasty! I can eat ramen everyday omg.

So happy to finally see a christmas tree even though it's so pathetic cause it's so tiny hahahahaha! Ah my holidays still have yet to sink in that you're finally here!

Get yourself a bf who loves soccer so much that you have to be prepared to spend 90% of dates at sports store looking at soccer boots until you can even know what are the lastest design and colours. Interested parties please do contact me for free boots consultation with Mr C. Advice guaranteed with his materials science knowledge and passion for soccer!!!


Day 2 celebration after fixing my phone (which died after 2 days ohgosh thankfully for warranty, gotta fix it again on tuesday and they better not make me pay any more money >:( ) with hotspot fried fish maggie tomyum and llaollao!!! Hotspot's tomyum is so saturated with tomyum taste I think it's fitting to call it tomyum stew instead hahahah. The maggie is different also, it's QQ okay like korean ramen just that it's thinner! And llao llao is the best choice to bring down the heat!
Please always choose Rafaello sauce instead of chocolate/caramel/any others because Rafaello is what makes it worth the hype! Same goes for caramelized cooki for crunch and mango! We are gonna come up with a perfect combination 1 day!

Day 3 with church followed by Nam Nam and Andersen's Sundae by the fountain hehehe
Still can't express how happy I am that exams have ended, waited so long for this period to come where we don't have to worry about going home to late and having to get a study table. December has to be fulfilling before IA and it's back to same ol' work routine. Not quite sure how I will adapt to the life of an engineer though :/
