CNY 2015: Year of Meh Meh

Chinese New Year 2015 is over. How crazy fast is that?! According to the lunar calendar, I'm now 27 years old. I should be worrying about fine lines and wrinkles now. But instead, I'm still struggling with acne. Wahlao eh, skin, give me the correct things to worry on leh?? 

But yes, this means I'm almost 30 years old. When I was 21, I had a plan to have my first child by 30 years old. Guess who's freaking out now? 

This year, CNY was quite eventful. So many firsts!

• First time in Chinatown a couple of hours before Chinese New Year. So crowded and there were so many angmoh tourists who were experiencing culture shock. All siam one corner and just stared into the crowd. Also ah, so many tall men in Singapore? So many tall men who need deodorant lah. I'm not very tall so whenever I get stuck in the crowd, I'm at the height of these tall men's armpits - so...I couldn't breathe also. #everythingalsocomplain
• First time stealing jelly in front of the stall owner. "Nevermind nevermind, just take just take! But eat in front of the stall ah!" - that's what he said. So okay lor, I ate the jellies without paying. But of course, I had to smuggle some into my bag. So #badass (I'm kidding of course. This is not bad ass at all. Just that I quite nice, never really steal things before. Must say, in case some people cannot take jokes). 
• First time giving red packets to my siblings. I know I'm not supposed to give if I'm not married. But da bai kenna pressure by my maternal grandmother to share the wealth. Okay lor, since it's my second year of working already, I shall share the wealth. Like income tax like that. :P
• First time watching a Jack Neo movie in the theatres. Ah Boys to Men 3: Frogmen actually quite nice lah. I think I didn't like the first two because I watched them on Channel 8, then all the dialects dubbed in Chinese (obviously it was a job terribly done), so the movies were super awkward to watch. So, watching the third installment at the cinema changed my perspective towards the entire series. Also, got a lot of hot bods. Always a plus.  

On Chinese New Year Eve, we celebrated Eve's birthday. Eve and I went to Nylon Coffee Roasters first for some kickass coffee and then when Jeremy came, we headed to The Lokal for lunch. My salad was incredible and I would totally order it again! 

Look at how huge the smoked salmon slab is?! 

Banana cake and ice cream = crowd pleaser. 

Of course must lou hei...

OOTD for Chinese New Year! I'm only occupied on the first day of CNY, so usually I buy one dress only lah. The dress was from River Island and wedges were from Charles & Keith. 

This photo cannot see lah, but on Chinese New Year, I had major acne breakout. =_= 

I got scolded when I went for my facial session last week The beautician said my skin was never this bad before. HAIYAH. But okay, now all back to normal again. 

We had a JFKK Chinese New Year session at Jeremy's house and as usual his Masterchef mother cooked a storm and look at this feast that we were blessed with!!!

So yes, that's how my Chinese New Year passed this year. Nothing grand, nothing major, but all in all, a good holiday.

Also, if you notice, I haven't been posting up beauty product reviews. I'm damn paiseh lah! My camera has officially died and so now I'm trying to use my iPhone 6 to take review photos. BUT, I always cannot the lighting right. Super irritating.

I definitely will figure something out soon. In the meantime, please pardon review posts with terrible quality photos!! :(
