Happy New Year (belated) but here's wishing everyone a great year ahead, where you are surrounded with abundance of happiness and love. As much as I love the year-end festive season, I am looking forward to what's ahead for me. I have yet list down my NY's resolution, I have to give it a serious thought and make sure I make plans and effort to materialize them.
One of the reason why many adore the festive season is because of all the food, gifts, celebrations and time spent with your closest earthlings. Same here for me, it is indeed a season to be jolly about. Earlier in December, I was invited to my first event ever, also the first Christmas party of the year- OOTD Campaign Christmas Edition which was held at Cafe Melba located at Goodman Art Centre.
Beautifully light snacks bar set up for the party.
#SGCampaign curates campaigns to raise awareness on different categories. One of which is #OOTDCampaign.
The smoked salmon canapés that I kept aiming for.
Asparagus with quail eggs and truffle/
Creme brûlée which wasn't moist.
All these new friends I made at the event:
Yes the theme of the day is White X Gold!
One with Cleo the super bubbly girl who has amazing personality and my long lost dance friend Vivian.
Last one with the gorgeous Feline!
Christmas Staycation @MBS
Over the last Dec Hol, I had my first stay cation at MBS with the #BrunchDateGirls Jo's dad kindly sponsored us with a free night at MBS. Yes I have been to MBS hotel a couple of times but never did stay over or visited the infinity sky pool. So excited for the first time.
Jo recommended her fav snack from MBS, the Truffle fries. We wanted a light snack before headlong up for a swim but it started raining in the afternoon so boooo had to change the plan.
We were really hungry and decided to go for an early dinner. Along the way, we got distracted by the Christmas tree, so here's my OOTD Green theme.
Lesson learnt, always make a reservation for dinner time especially over the weekend. Is almost impossible to get a seat without having to queue. Caution, queuing time goes up to more than half an hour everywhere u go, even coffee bean bistro.
We decided to settle for dinner at TWGC, can't believe this is also my first time dining here. TWG is known to specialize in Tea selection and I am pleasantly surprised with the quality of food served.
Tea blended Milkshake, it was a little weird, I would very much prefer my usual Vanilla milkshake or chocolate banana milkshake.
My fav of all, was the Moroccan mint tea infused- seafood lagsana. Could be a little gelat to some but one of the best lagsana I had especially the mint tea infused sauce.
Herb Crusted Salmon
After dinner we took a walk at Gardens by the bay Christmas night market. Far from London/Europe Christmas Mkts but better than none. The lights were beautiful if minus the humidity, crazy crowd and louder Christmas carols.
Took the risk to hope into the EXTREMELY MUDDY FIELD to take this picture, it was gross trying to pull my feet and sandals off the suction of the muddy field.
WEEEEEE favourite activity of the night was X'Mas Gift Exchange! I am so bad at wrapping gifts and I made Rachel (now my ex-colleague BOOO) to wrap all my gifts for me ;P
Us posing our gifts from our secret santa! From L to R: Bev's secret santa was Jo, Shu's got from Cand cand, I got mine from Shu, Wenhui received my secret gift, Cand cand got hers from Bev and Jo received from Wenhui.
Bought our supper snacks right after dinner, pre-planned supper!
The beautiful X'mas log cake from MEDZ. The sponge cake was moist and right amount of cream in between the layers.
Selfie using Bev's camera with rotatable selfie lens and flawless skin effect!
Pyjamas shot! We played heads up while we took turns to shower. It was really hilarious when all girls are playing this game, a lot bimbotic moments and awkward actions or moves performed! Can't wait for our next staycation!
And I was really excited in the morning because it was my first time up to the sky pool. Was really worried that the weather may not be cooperative but looked, bright and sunny. Beautiful set up and design looking over Singapore skyscraper. But it was insanely crowded, no one can swim freely without bumping into someone.
First time here so must spam photos! SUA KU haha
Breakfast in bed, technically we are out of bed but still, sitting on the bed is also considered as BIB? Btw their waffles and french toast were really horrible, tasteless and slightly cold. Standards of such brunch menu has been raised by the cafe hypes.
XOXO,

HAHAHA the mud part! I insisted! :X
