It is Chinese New Year (CNY) Eve.  Time to say goodbye to Mr Dragon and hello Mr Snake.  Yes we will be entering the year of the snake very soon.  Fashionably yours have been on leave the last few days and very busy with the spring cleaning and CNY preparations at home.  Phew ! finally all the spring cleaning has been done by Thursday afternoon.  Spent Friday doing grocery shoppings at the supermarket.  It was so crowded and most of the food supplies were being snatched up by consumers.  Seems like world war and people are stocking up their food supply.  Thank God I am able to grab the food stuff which I need from the supermarkets.  

It has been raining these few days and the weather is so cooling.  One thing good about doing spring cleaning on rainy days is that one hardly sweat that much.  Fashionably yours feel so tiring after all the spring cleaning.  I cleaned my whole house all by myself, scrubbed every corner of the house and my two big bathrooms.  It was no easy feat and feel so tiring.  Nevertheless, the house is now spick and span.  We are ever ready for CNY and relatives CNY visitings now. Hope you are also done with your spring cleaning and CNY preparations by now.

Takashimaya Chinese New Year Fair

Fashionably yours went to Takashimaya Shopping Centre for the Chinese New Year (CNY) Fair.  It looks like a mini Chinatown to me because you can see so many stalls selling CNY goodies.

I bought this 

Yummy Kueh bangit and my favourite pineapple tarts

Dropped by books kinokuniya and bought this magazine.

Also dropped by Watsons and bought this eye shadow quad.  

Love this earthy tone shimmering shade

It is about 12 days to CNY. Most of you would have bought your CNY goodies by now and still counting.....Happy CNY shopping :) 

Happy Lunar New Year

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year.  Fashionably yours is so busy with cooking and entertaining my relatives.  My house is like an open house with non stop CNY visitings by my relatives.  My CNY is more busy than my working days because I have to buy grocery for the CNY feasting, clean the house and buy CNY goodies to entertain my guests/relatives. 

It is nice to see my relatives for our once a year catch up.  Glad they enjoyed all the CNY goodies which I bought.  There are pineapple tarts, kuen pang kuet, cranberry mix nuts, honey sour plum sweet and crispy banana chips.  Fashionably yours ate some too and can't resist them.  Ate till my body feels abit heatiness.  Need some cooling drinks to cool down the heatiness in my body.

My family has been eating steamboat since our reunion dinner.  Yummy and ate till so full and getting abit tired of eating it.  Want to eat something else.  Guess most family are eating steamboat for CNY which is common here. 

So what else does people do during CNY. Most of us will gamble, play majong, watching TV, eat and make merry catching up with one anoteher.  During CNY, Singapore seems like shutting down, because most of the shops are closed for business.  Everybody is celebrating CNY. I am looking forward to see Lion dance performance.

Wishing everyone a Happy and Prosperous Lunar New Year.

Hot Hot Hot Sunday

Today is the last day of February and also the last day of the Lunar New Year.  March onwards gonna be madness and stressful at work.  The peak period is coming again...all the things come together.  Well just have to breathe in breath out and do it, one thing at a time. 

Today is mad hot.  Even the water from the tap is hot.  It was really so hot that fashionably yours just don't feel like moving at all. I just want to sit still at one corner with the fan on and stoned there.  The heat is driving me crazy.  The weatherman said it is 35 degree celsius.  Hoping for some rain and breeze.  I can smell some burning smell in the air.  Hearing so many people saying that the haze is back.  Wondering how true it is, but fashionably yours did sneeze, has watery eyes and dripping nose since Friday night. All these has subsided by now.  I am allergic to dust and air pollution.  Hope the haze go away.

Just read the Sunday Times about Kids having spa massage, pedicure and manicure session.  I don't think the kids should go for all these treats.  It seems to rob them of their childhood and making them grow up faster.  Afterall the money the parents spent on these treats for their kids could have channel to some more worthy causes.  There are some kids in some countries who starves and yet the kids here are so pampered by all these treats.  I wouldn't recommend kids to do manicure, pedicure and massage, even if it is just for special occasion.  It is not appropriate and seems to be teaching them to be materialistic at such a young age.  They should be entitled to their kids world and childhood.  Afterall kids are innocent.  Parents should not expose the kids to such things at such a young age.  Just my 2 cents worth of opinion on it.

Alrighty enough said, gonna enjoy the rest of my lazy Sunday before Manic Mondaze. 

Have a great week and March 2010 ahead everyone.

Cheers :)

Rest and Relax Life

Phew ! finally done with all the CNY visitings.  It was really a hectic week for me during the CNY week. A lot of entertainment and merry making catching up with one another.  Guess most people will be back to work this week.  Fashionably yours is glad that now my normal and tai tai lifestyle is back.  I want to rest and relax to enjoy life. 

Got to sleep now.  Nitey nitey everyone and have a fabulous week ahead.

*hugs*

Lion Dance Performance

Last week was a 2 day working week for fashionably yours.  Yes the CNY week, I only worked 2 days.  The rest of the week was enjoying myself and celebrating CNY.  Last Thursday was my first day reporting for work  in the Year of the Golden Tiger and my company had the lion dance performance at our office. I really enjoy watching lion dance performance.  All of us had lots of fun.  Greeted each other and bosses gave mandarin oranges to us.  Gong Xi....Gong Xi...

Pictures below are the lion dance performance. 

Some of you might have done all your CNY visitings by now.  I still have CNY visitings. Really big celebrations for my family...so many CNY visitings to do. 

Have a nice weekend everyone. 

Lovely midweek afternoon

Fashionably yours is still enjoying my long CNY weekends holidays.   Yippee ! Woke up late and had some roasted pork rice for lunch.  Well have some stomach upset too, think I over eaten the last few days.  Common to everyone who has been eating and merry making.  Hope my stomach upsets recovers soon.  Just had one pineapple tart which I cannot resist. Yummy.

Glad my Year of the Ox ended with a good note and begin my year of the golder Tiger with a good note.  Feeling sweet and blissful. 

Simply loving this lazy midweek afternoon.  Gonna take things slow today to rest and relax over a hot cup of tea amidst my lush greenery. Nice music, a good book and the caressing of the breeze on my skin. Priceless and so blissful :)) 

P.S. Going for my afternoon nap shortly......

Gong Xi Fai Cai

Gong Xi Fa Cai.  Wishing everyone a Happy and Prosperous Lunar New Year in the Year of the Golden Tiger.  How is your CNY ?  Guess must be lots of eating delicacies, pineapple tarts, goodies, bak kwa and so on and so forth with all the visitings and catching up with each other. 

Fashionably yours place was full house on the 1st day of CNY...non-stop flowing of human traffic to my place for visitings.  Thus lots of entertaining on my part.  It was tiring but fun catching up with each other over food, chocolate brownies and all the CNY goodies.  So far so good on my eating part, I controlled what I consumed.  I am still eco-friendly, eatings lots of green and fruits. 

Due to the festive seasons, I think lots of people are falling ill due to lots heaty stuff they consumed.  The clinics will be full house these few days.  Just take a look at the clinic if you walked past any.  The doctors will be laughing their way to the bank.  Take care everyone and be sure to drink some cooling herbal tea.  Fashionably yours have been drinking chrysanthemum tea. 

This is indeed a long CNY weekends and hope everyone had an enjoyable time. The next Public Holiday will be on 2nd April 2010 which is Good Friday.  Tomorrow some of you are going back to work and back to school.  However fashionably yours is still off tomorrow, so gonna take it slow and enjoy myself amidst the lush greenery to rest and relax after all the CNY celebrations.

I am looking forward to see some lion dance performances which I really like.  For now, let's enjoy the CNY celebrations.

Eve of CNY Eve

TGIF.  It is gonna be a super long weekend.  Yes the Chinese New Year long weekend.  Today is the eve of Chinese New Year.  Worked half day today since my company let all of us go home early.  Everyone is already in CNY mood at the office and don't feel like working.  Of course we tried to clear our work here and there before the CNY long weekend begins.   Orchard Road was so crowded by noon and we can't wait to get out of Orchard Road.  People are doing their last minute CNY shoppings.  It is also like this during Christmas.  Hope those shoppers got what they want by now from their shoppings. 

Fashionably yours did some more marketing today.  These few days, the supermarket is like a war zone. Everyone is snatching for food and alot of stuff are out of stock very soon.  Luckily I have been stocking up my CNY food since last week.  This morning went grocery shopping at the supermarket again to finalise my CNY marketing.  OK now it is all done and packed nicely in my fridge.  Besides marketing, also did a final touched up for my spring cleaning at home. 

Yippee ! all done and ready to celebrate CNY.  Let's countdown together to welcome the year of of the Golden Tiger. 

Have a fabulous long weekend everyone.

CNY spring cleaning and preparations

CNY is about one week away, so everybody is busy spring cleaning now. Fashionably yours took the day off yesterday to do my long weekends of CNY spring cleaning and glad now all are done.  We are ready for Chinese New Year celebrations now with the CNY deco up in the house.  Feel so drained after the spring cleaning and CNY goodies shoppings at the supermarket. Still need to buy some more CNY goodies here and there. I am so proud of myself because I spring cleaning the whole house all by myself .  Also planning CNY menu and buying all the goodies. I am so housewifey material now.  My next occupation must be a sexy housewife (not desperate housewife) *lol*

During CNY nosy relatives like to ask nosy questions such as :

When are you getting married (if you are single) ?
When are your giving birth (if you are newly wed) ?
When are your going to have your 2nd child (after you had your 1st one) ?
Why are you so skinny ?
Why are you so fat ?
Do you have boyfriend/girlfriend ?

Fashionably yours is spared all of the above questions because my relatives are sick of asking me now.  They know I am independent and capable of earning my own keep, so they mind their own business.  Good luck to those of you not spared from the above questions.   In fact, I look forward to CNY  because I can see all my relatives to catch-up over good food and drinks.  Also the long Public Holidays.

Now some updates on my recent happenings besides CNY preparations.  Last Friday went with my 2 bestie gf buddies and L-san to 313 Somerset to eat Superdog for lunch.  It was my first visit to superdog and I like it.  I had the bacon ripper which is yummy and English breakfast tea.  I am very British because I love drinking tea though I drink coffee too.  I am more of a tea person. 

My bacon ripper and English breakfast tea

After we were done with our lunch, we went shopping at Forever 21.  J-san wants to get a birthday present for her girlfriend, so we went together.  Ended up with fashionably yours bought a coral red necklace, G-san bought some earrings and J-san bought a necklace for her girlfriend and a bracelet for herself.  That is what happens when girls shop together and doing girlie stuff together.  However, we are happy with our purchases.  Then my two bestie gf buddies went back to office first while fashionably yours went to do some banking.  Love hanging out with my two bestie gf buddies doing girlie stuff together but G-san is leaving our company soon, so will miss her.  Then will be just me and J-san, we are the J and J team *lol*

J-san bought this cute thing for me last week.

Winnie the Pooh brush cleaner

Can clean keyboard and monitor.

Thanks J-san

Fashionably yours is taking this Manuka Honey UMF 15 daily now.  Actually bought it quite some time, then forgot to take it.  Therefore now continue to take it.  Are you taking any Manuka Honey now ?  If yes, please share with me which Manuka honey you are taking.  Thanks.

My Manuka Honey

Fashionably yours is now blonde.  My New Year, New Look.

So much so for the updates.....enjoy your spring cleaning and CNY preparations.  I am gonna stay happy and let the positive energy flows into me to welcome the Year of the Tiger. 

Now I am gonna get some beauty sleep.  Nitey nitey and sweet dreams.

My 1st week of Jan 2010

1st week of Jan 2010 has gone by.  Now we are stepping into the 2nd week of Jan 2010.  Hope everyone has adjusted from the post festive holidays seasons and the engine has warmed up for serious work and businesses by now.  Have you been keeping to your New Year Resolutions so far ?  Yes fashionably yours has been keeping to mine.  I am eco-friendly and have been eating lots of salads.

My simple home made black pepper smoke salmon salad with with Italian dressing

My 1st week of Jan 2010 was hectic. Lots of reports to do in the office.  Suddenly I was down with stomach virus infections for 2 days.  Then I visited my dentist last Thursday to fix my gums.  I don't like to visit dentist but I have no choice for the sake of my gums.  My dentist is so super good business.  It was so difficult to fix appointment with him.  Finally managed to book a slot to fix my gums.  He has fixed my gums problems, but naughty me ate some hard stuff over the weekends and caused my gums to be painful again.  He advised me to eat some soft food first till my gums are stronger enough to handle harder food.  I think I must be a good good girl to listen to my dentist's advise now.  I will eat porridge, more salads and no hard meats.  Glad I went to see my dentist so that I don't have to suffer the pain anymore.  Next I need to extract my wisdom tooth and I am so scared of pain...another headache.  At first I want to extract my wisdom tooth this month but on second thoughts I think better let my gums become stronger and stablised first then I book appointment to extract it.  One thing at a time....I must be patience.  One must visit dentist every 6 months for maintainence. 

I am glad to be back at work because had lovely time with my wondeful buddies.  Last Friday we went to McCafe for lunch. It was my first McDonald lunch of 2010.  Also I haven't been to McDonald for at least 3 months since my gums infections.

Our table

We had the fillet o fish McValue Lunch set

My hot cup of Darjeeling tea

Now I am feeling much better and resting over the weekends.  I would say I have a good start to 2010 and hoping it will be that way.  I am feeling happy.  Feel blissful and loved that so many lovely people caring for me and loving me.  Guess we should do unto others what you want others to do unto you.   It is all very reflective.  

I was at the supermarket last week and they have been playing Chinese New Year songs, so are the shops.  They are also selling CNY goodies....wow ! so fast CNY is coming soon which means the next Public Holiday is CNY on 14 February. Note to self to shop for some CNY clothes.....Yes time to shop....haven't been shopping much lately.  Must budget also while shoppings....

What's in this cute cup ?

It is my home made cup of chrysanthemum

The weather was so hot over the weekends that I make myself a hot cup of chrysanthemum drinks to cool down my body heatiness.  Refreshing.  One good thing about the hot weather is my laundry is dry now.  So far not too bad, still breezy over at my place.  So it is sunny with some breeze.  In fact, I am enjoying my lazy Sunday lazing around admist the peaceful lush greenery and listening to the birds chirping on the trees.  Life is beautiful indeed.  

Alrighty time for me to have my beauty sleep now.  Good night and sweet dreams.

Have a great week ahead everyone and take care. 

More Lion Dance Performance

Was at Centrepoint just and saw lion dance performance, so watched it. I enjoy watching lion dance performance. Very fun. Here goes the pictures.

Have a nice weekend everyone and enjoy the CNY weekends.

Gong Xi Fa Cai everyone.

Some of them are still on leave and will only be back to work next week. Nevertheless had lots of fun this morning watching the lion dance performance at my company. It was very fun.

Fashionably yours posing with the lion

touching the lion for good luck

Click here for the rest of the pix....enjoy !

Had lunch with my wonderful buddies just now. Thereafter had some lunch time retail therapy.

Shape magazine - Feb 2009 issue
Who's that girl - a novel

Enjoy drinking my starbucks ice latte

In keeping with the Lunar New Year mood, our company is having a ‘Best Dressed in Red’ competition for employees who turned up wearing red today. Thus my colleague has submitted my photos for the competition. They are going to hot-sell fashionably yours in the contest to gather more votes for me. Looks like more fun is in the air here.....so exciting. I am sporting so anything goes for me. Anyway just for fun, it doesn't matter if I win or lose.

Third day of CNY & also 3rd day of the year of the Ox

Today is the third day of CNY and fashionably yours is off today to continue to enjoy the CNY. Still in CNY mood. Over enjoying myself with my families and love ones. It is nice to catch up with each other over good food and yummy CNY cookies with lots of laughters. Still have visitors coming over to our place for visiting today and we also did some more visitings today.

After our visitings are done, fashionably yours chill out at my favourite hangout. Yes, at Holland Village. Love the place.

Holland Village (in the afternoon)

CNY Goodies (at home)

My favourtie pineapple tarts

My favourite dessert - Cheng Ting from Holland Village

Just now I just came to know that there was a naked couple who paraded along Lorong Mambong at Holland Village last Saturday night at about 2300 hour. It was a caucasian man with her Singaporean woman, believed to be in their 20s. Both were arrested an hour later by police and now are out on police bail while investigations are being carried out. Fashionably yours really loves her naked body too but will never display her naked body in public. However I don't mind to do it at the naked beach in Europe. It is against the law to be seen naked in the public in Singapore. If anyone found naked in the public in Singapore, can be fined up to SGD2,o00 or jail up to 3 months or both. Actually I was telling myself how come I was not at Holland Village last Saturday night to witness this naked scene. I missed it. I was busy preparing for CNY.

Glad fashionably yours has time to chill out now after all the visitings and meet the relatives session. Will be munching on more BBQ pork and pineapple tarts, as well as down with some beer and wine.

Cheers :))
