♥ Part & Parcel of my Life ♥

New Year Eve was rather special this time round. The last time round was spent with my girlies, just like Christmas. This time, as our family had a guest of honour (GOH) coming from USA, we had a family gathering instead. My youngest aunt hosted this party at her place with a good spread of food for our steamboat buffet.

Here comes the porridge steamboat - a very special way of having steamboat!

The vegetarian spread for our GOH.

Yes! Don't be amazed we are eating along the corridor. See the lift behind? Uncle & Aunt are very on, still smile when I am taking photo!

Due to seating capacity, the adults had their dinner first, and the kids (us) were in the living room laughing our lungs out watching 'Where Got Ghost'. It isn't exactly funny and hilarious but we were laughing more at the stupidity of the show. Watch it with innocence, so you will laugh!

Back to the living room to catch a glimpse of the kids!

The night ended off at close to 12 midnight. GOH was suffering from jet lag and had to go off to catch some beauty sleep. Nevertheless, it was a fun party and great catching up with all the family members. Cheers to a Happy, Healthy & Wealthy New Year and many more of such gatherings to come!

With the arrival of our GOH, Yvette, comes my shopping 'loot'! Woohoo! Got my entire VS' shopping bag from her! A pity my Kiehl's didn't arrive and I wonder why. As such, I will need to check if Kiehl's charged me. And if so, where are the goods?! Hmm...

Anyway, still excited over my VS buys! Majority of the bill was foot by my dearest Xin who gave me a big e-voucher for shopping on VS! *love u, muacks* I don't mind more of such!!! *hint hint*
I bought a tube dress, a new set of pyjamas - both for the upcoming CNY. And 2 crew neck tees cos' they look really comfy from the photos, however, the real thing isn't as comfy as they look. Also bought a bottle of perfume to replace the one I had which will run out quite soon and I am unable to ship in perfume, thus, it is the only chance I could buy! With the perfume came a bottle of lotion which was at USD 5 if you buy it with a perfume. As such, I decided to get a bottle to try!

Am not going to showcase my tube dress and pyjamas here as they are nicely folded up already...

My new bottle of perfume. Too bad they no longer retail the limited edition one, else I want that one!!!

The bottle of Dream Angels Body Lotion!

Free bedroom slippers with pyjamas purchased! This isn't the first pair of slipper I got and I love them! Yes! Red for the upcoming CNY!

Even the bottom of the slippers has the VS printed on it... Oh my!

Anyway, I am very happy with all my purchases!

On the first day of 2010, woke up in the morning, had Sausage McMuffin with Egg for breakfast, lazed around trying to complete the drama series - 富贵门, headed to IMM for some short shopping, back home to blog and continued to watch the drama. The day is really complete for me! Easily contented.

In that short hour in IMM, I bought some chocolate biscuits and 2 pairs of shoes.

Chocolate biscuits from Watsons. Was feeling really hungry while waiting for office's New Year Eve party to begin and my neighbour treated me to this chocolate biscuit. I asked her where she bought it and she readily gave me her entire box. Since I passed by Watsons, I checked out the price and it was $4.30 per box. Quite expensive as there were only 9 pieces in each box. Nevertheless, I bought one box for my own consumption and 1 box to give to her. Had this for tea break yesterday and today. Yummy!

My 2 pairs of shoes from Mondo, from hubby. *loves* Thanks hubby! I love it when I am choosing something and once I am done, you will just walk up and foot the bill!

A pair of heels and...

A pair of flats.

Been eyeing shoes from Mondo ever since I walked past the outlet at Vivocity a few days ago. There was no sale going on and as such, I decided not to buy at Vivocity and I insisted to hubby I wanted to wait and see a few more days. So happy to see sales going on at IMM! Bought the first pair at $19.90 and the 2nd pair at $10! Weet! 2 pairs for $30 i.e. about $15 each. Still a little expensive if I compare to BKK, but who cares!

I know I haven't written a recap of 2009 and my resolutions for 2010. I will do it in my next entry!
