Hello guys!!
Long time no post, I know. First of all, I’d like to wish you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas as well. Mine was.. interesting.., not in a good way though. We’ll get to that part in a bit.
Let’s see what I have in my basket for this very first TT of the year!
What do you think of the playlist?
So, let’s have a quick recap of my Christmas and New Year.
I had been sick since a week before Christmas and when I thought I was getting better, the otherwise occurred.
My parents came to visit me and my brother in Singapore. I had a lot of plans in my mind and at the end I just stayed in the hotel for the whole time. I started vomiting, though I made it to Christmas Eve mass.
My face was bloated, I guess due to medicine’s complications. I basically took too much medications and every time I took them I just threw everything up. After getting back from church, my parents took me to the hospital. I was hospitalized.
And that’s where I spent my Christmas Eve at.
In the morning I pretty much begged the doctor to let me go home, since I had a flight waiting for me in the afternoon.
Didn’t take any pics at the hospital except this quick shot of my bro holding my present at my ward hehe.
I was thinking, “great, nothing goes right for this Christmas, every plan is ruined”, but as soon as I reached home and saw our little Christmas tree, I felt there’s still a tiny bit of Christmas spirit in my heart. My parents and I exchanged our gifts before the clock passed 12 midnight.
In the morning of New Year’s Eve, my best friends came over for a late Christmas gift exchange. I will do a haul for my Christmas presents on the next post :)
I spent the New Years with a couple of my aunts at home. But I got sleepy after dinner, so I took a nap and woke up at 11:55 PM. Haha! The noise of fireworks was my alarm and I made it for the countdown. On the New Year’s day I only had lunch with the fam, together with my other aunts and grandmom.
So that was my out-of-plan-yet-memorable year-end holiday.
How was yours?
This holiday I’ve learned that the more I want something to be perfect, the easier it will get to be ruined. I thought too much about getting the right presents and doing the “fun” stuff that made me ill at the end. Nonetheless, although my holiday was far from perfect, at least I learned something from it.
I’m still in my hometown since I needed to go back and forth to the hospital for a check-up. I wasted my flight last Sunday and I realized that I have wasted A LOT of my dad’s money as well :(
I don’t make any resolutions for this year. I did accomplish some of the last year’s, but I’ve failed many of them too. So if I were to make a resolution, I guess it would be to take care of my health better than before. Without health, everything will be useless. I don’t want to pressurize myself as well and definitely don’t want to make myself disappointed. So I guess I’m just gonna let everything flow by itself. Who knows that I might accomplish something unplanned, right?
Have a wonderful year, everyone!

I love this song! Tyler Ward is the man!!
I dont wanna play these games anymore
Tell me have you ever noticed when we're all alone
But apparently I'm exactly at the right place!
dress & denim vest – local shops in Indonesia, necklace – F21, tights – random shop in Singapore, shoes – Lee Cooper
Mini/shirt dresses and tights/leggings are the essentials for me since I got back home. Since I don’t have so much (wearable) clothes over here, I have to be more creative with the pieces in my old wardrobe filled with old clothes of mine and my mom’s. My mom inherited quite a lot of stuff to me haha, I’m gonna post outfits with my mom’s clothes soon ;)

I had one of the best sleepovers ever! On the first day we made a birthday cake for my friend, Cindy. It didn’t turn out so perfect but we had a good time making it! At night, we started our very own ‘party’ and it was a blast! Thumbs up for silly outfits? LOL
Happy birthday darling C!
Being mean felt good ;)
On the second day we spent our day shopping and watched a DVD at night. Case 39! It was pretty good ;)
Today we had a chocolate fondue and made some chocolate cornflakes. Yummm!
She’s got her “sisters” done as a birthday present. LOL!
The fun is over, we made some silly videos of us trying to pop the balloons by sitting on them. Man, it was hard! So pen was the solution.
Gonna sleep earlier tonight coz I slept really late for 2 nights. So.. good night! ;)

I finally got my CDs after 2 months of waiting! They’re great!
Watched Valentine’s Day with my besties today. I thought it would be a bit confusing as there are a lot of characters like the movie “He’s Just Not That Into You” but this one turned out so much better! The Taylors were so cute!
Grabbed some pizzas after the movie (maybe the tiniest ones I’ve ever eaten),
and reached home, blackout! I had dinner twice and the second one was a candle light dinner with my parents haha.
dress & cardigan – local boutiques, tights - topshop, necklace - F21, bracelets – gift & thrifted
Hope y’all have a great day!
P.S I didn’t get to say thing in the previous post so I will now.
R.I.P Alexander McQueen. Such a brilliant true artist. He was one of the talented designers that blew my mind by his amazing work. The world needs more people like him.

Hola!
My babies gathered together once again!
Finally I finished my exams last Friday and went back to my hometown on Saturday. HOLIDAYS! I had a Chinese New Year reunion dinner with my dad's family on Saturday night and had a gathering with my mom's family today. I felt a bit awkward at first because I had skipped these ritual gatherings for 3 years. Cousins of mine who already got married and have children are no longer close with me (well it's not like I'm close to any lol) and I have this little weird jealousy feeling towards their children (aka my nieces and nephews)! Strange, right? Plus, they don't even recognize me...
But I enjoy my time collecting the ang paos (red packets filled with $) haha!
Anyways,
Happy Valentine's day!
I couldn’t really feel the Valentine’s mood this year, because I didn’t see any of my friends and celebrated Chinese New Year instead so no chocolates :/ Yet. Perhaps. If there is, I need to get rid of my flu first! Yes, I got a bit of flu again due to the stressful exams.
Nevertheless, I hope all of you had a wonderful day with the loved ones!
xo, Jo
