Christmas 2014: Christmas tree hunting

(This is a really backlogged post but okay here goes,)

So it was the festive season and everyone was posting pics with Christmas lights and all.. and I was complaining and whining to Leon about how I didn't have any pics with Christmas trees to post. And this boy proceeded to say that he will bring me to take pics with every christmas tree in town HAHAHA. That got me really thrilled cuz like I've never done that before and I thought that was really sweet :')

We fondly refer this to "Christmas tree hunting" hehe, he goes to town quite a bit so i let him decide the route we should take :-) Just nice, the Saturday we decided to go was the first Saturday of december.. which means it was pedestrian night!!! This meant that orchard road would be closed for people to roam around freely hehehe

The route we took was 

Centrepoint > Orchard Central > Somerset 313 > Orchard Gateway > Heeren > Knightsbridge > ION > Takashimaya

Pics are not in order cuz after uploading to blogger they got all mixed up!!!!

POST CHRISTMAS TREE HUNTING SELFIES HEHEHE

It was really quite fun, a bit awkward at times cuz we had to keep asking passer-bys to help us take our pics hehe. but it was so fulfilling after the whole thing :-) I think we missed out some parts of town because they put up the trees a tad bit later than the usual places.... ah well, we got pics with 90% of them so it's all good!!!! Our favorites are definitely the cliche one at ION and the odd looking one at OC gateway HAHAHAHAHA

thank you so much to Leon, who put in so much effort and time to make my christmas season a special one :')

also brought him to Strictly Pancakes @ Siglap since he has never been there before!!!

I downsized my pancakes while he upsized it... even then, the portions were really too huge for us HAHAHA, and this was considering the fact that we were both famished before the meal. 

The pancakes there are rlly good, will follow the shop's recommendation (garlic prawns for savoury & druggie for sweet hehe). but pls try not to underestimate them as they are really 

SUPER DUPER FILLING!!!!

till then x

Christmas 2014: carolling + gardens by the bay

Saturday, 13th Dec 2014

Headed to church for christmas carolling :-) Brought Leon along hehe. 

So thankful that he came :-)

Headed down to gardens by the bay with the family afterwards. The lights and deco there are so pretty!!!! we reached there just in time for the last light display hehe.

Camera went out of focus at certain times but hey it's a nice effect *__*

Although it was quite late alr, the place was still suuuuper crowded!! 

we wanted to go onto the bridge thingy but it didn't have free admission :-( the queue for it was also insane HAHA so yup we gave that a miss

Headed to this part of east coast park that was recently renovated or smth! Chilled at this bar called Atmosphere to watch soccer and have some sides hehe. Dad also finally bought me my first cocktail!!!!! I think it was sex on the beach haha. it cost like 13bux?!?!?! 

not too bad but i doubt i'll wanna order it again :p 

Was a rlly nice night, felt just like the old times where we would go out as a family and look at christmas deco & lights :') here's to many more :-)
