Instagram Snapshots ~*November 2014*~

Oooh... It's the month of Christmas and there's just so much preparation to do and so many meet-ups with lovely friends. Christmas started really early as I just had my 1st Christmas meet-up just now (Fri). And I would have one tomorrow and another one on Sunday too! Since it is way too early to shop for gifts, all of us agreed that it would be meet-ups with no presents. After all, the company of beautiful friends is a gift in itself.

For all the pockets of time in between these gatherings over the weekend, I would be immersed in crafting some little gifts for the people around me. I'm already feeling really sleepy and wishing for more energy since I've been a little under the weather the past 2 days. I haven't had the time for blog stuff lately so let's have a filler November instasummary post for now.

October had been busy. It seemed to be always the case whether at school or at work. Major exams period, project deadlines, events. Christmas decorations are already up in the malls-- a sure first sign that November is here. How I love the end of November and the whole December period.

How many slippers must I buy just coz I have a notti cat at home? Not my cat summore. Cotton On better continue having their perpetual 2 pairs for $10 flip flops sale.

I've been so good to avoid tea as much as possible. But Thai Iced Tea. I can't resist you today.

Testing out the Bluetooth remote shutter of the selfie stick with my sis @kappo77. I've joined the league of selfie stick owners whom I once scoffed at coz this selfie pod plus Bluetooth remote shutter set is only $8! I've become a bird that goes cheap cheap cheap!

A treat from my sis @kappo77 at Fisherios beer battered fish and chips.

-Latergram- What a happy day! Took in so much history and GK at the Peranakan Museum during cohesion, bought 2 new pairs of ballerina flats and ended the day with scrumptious dinner with the hubz at Pasta de Waraku. I love my healthy japanese style soup pasta with clams and Japanese salad. Hub's dish looks totally unhealthy and humongous!

I bought these Hello Kitty multi vitamins for my gal pals' daughters a few months back but I kept forgetting to bring them out. Decided to eat them myself and was tickled by the Hello Kitty embossing on the tablets. So cute wan! 🐱

Hey notti cat. Which shoes have you gotten your paws on this time round?

~15 November 2014~
Latergram. Tonkotsu Kazan Shio Ramen. First time I still feel hungry after eating a bowl of ramen. I dunno if it is delicious or just too little. Hubby ate the volcano ramen which is what this place is famous for.

From day to night and you're still in there?!

❤❄Snowy Selfie Sunday❄❤ Just now I asked my hubby in jest, "Deardear how? I'm running outta selfie photos on my phone to post selfies on Instagram. Hashtag #firstworldproblem!" He simply gave me a -_-||| 😒 expression and continued bashing his laptop.

Top Left: We checked out the nearby Sher North Indian Casual Dining & Bar. It is pretty damn good. ❤
Top Right: Papadum is LOVE!
❤
Bottom Left: Beer belly vs beer bottle
❤
Bottom Right: Mango Lassi with Fish Tikka in the background.




~16 November 2014~
Top Left: Fish Tikka. Boneless, tender and flavorful! Loves!
❤
Top Right: Garlic Cheese Naan. I wanted garlic. He wanted cheese so we had garlic cheese naan and it was GOOD! ❤
Bottom Left: Lady fingers. I love them. A little joke. I asked the hub, "Do you know that lady finger is also called 'okra'?" Hub said, "Is it? I thought that's a whale?" "Duh... Orca is killer whale la. Okra is lady finger." 😂 T_T ❤
Bottom Right: Mutton Briyani. Very flavorful and delicious but after a while, it got a little jelak. We packed the rest for my PIL and their appetites were whetted.

As the Stella Artois got empty, the Heineken got FAT. Oh wait, the Heineken IS always FAT.

Novena for me is usually linked to hospital visits, check-ups and the likes but recently, I found lots of good eateries there. I'm glad to have found a hole-in-the-wall cafe La Ristrettos. Nestled on the 8th floor of Novena Medical Centre, you wouldn't quite expect an Italian cafe there. Good food but I'm still hungry...
❤
Croissant Al Cotto - Filled with the classic combi of leg ham and Swiss cheese toasted and served with salad.
❤
Tostino E Arrosto - Italian for "toasted and roast". Toasted sour dough with garlic olive oil, spinach, roast chicken breast, tomato and poached egg.
❤
Ciocolata Calda - A traditional Italian hot chocolate, very thick and like drinking (or rather eating) a warm chocolate pudding.
❤
Good ol Cappuccino

My 大姐 @kappo77 is finally married! Have a blessed marriage! xoxo 😘

~22 November 2014~
My sis @kappo77 is at her most beautiful today! 姐姐 please ditch your bandana look and wear your hair like this every day can? And Ben, welcome to the family! 👻👻👻

~22 November 2014~
❤Wefie with my family❤ My dad so cute. When I said, "Daddy got no mouth here." He said, "I'm Hello Kitty ma."

~22 November 2014~
Latergram. On the way to my sis @kappo77 wedding. See what I wrote on the Ang Pow? She never addresses me by my name since forever. It's always "Piggy".(^(00)^) That's my name in her mobile contact list too. 🐷🐷🐷

~22 November 2014~
Latergram carselfie/carwefie with 姐 @kezel and the I wanna-punch-his-face-for-acting-like-those-girlgirl-kpop-star hubby.

~22 November 2014~
A car selfie or car wefie? Hubby loves to photobomb so I asked if he wanted to bomb my selfie. He said "no". The end.

What a lot of variety at MOF and Lenas from the Japanese and Western menu. So surprised that the swordfish and yellow tail sashimi at such a casual place could be so sweet and fresh. The matcha drink is YUMz after the matcha ice cream melted into creamy smoothness. The rest of the food is alright.

Are you, Are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man they say murdered three
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree

Are you, Are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out for his love to flee
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree

Are you, Are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run, so we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.

Are you, Are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me.
Strange things did happen here,
No stranger would it be,
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.

Wanted the hubby to get a shock when he next used the loo but he said he would gladly use the cats to wipe his ass... =^•^=

Tagged by the sweet @pandaloveseyeliner to do a #stopdropandselfie. I can't use camera phone at work so here's me home after work and after a colleague's birthday dinner looking sooooo sleepy coz I slept at 4am the night before (or rather this morning). Am I supposed to tag others too? If so, I tag those people likely to accept this challenge @floraisabelle @insta_lilliness @thedaintydollshouse @mangorabbitrabbit @cocobella_ballerina No obligations, babes, though it would be fun to see what you have!

Snip snip snip... 4 inches gone. First time had hair till waist length but other than having curls looking beautiful at waist length, everything else straight about that length is bad. Feeling so LIGHT and HAPPY now! But I know that when I go home, the hubby would simply ask, "You got cut your hair meh?" -_-||| 😒

3 generations of iPhones in a row: iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. 😍😍😍

Imagination:
Naruto is taking a nice wefie with his selfie stick! 📷📷📷
Reality:
We were watching Naruto and at this scene where Naruto was urging Obito to join their side, I remarked to the hubz, "Hey, Naruto is holding a selfie stick!"
