So I had two consecutive blessed days!
First up, I had a mini date with my Jenz baby yesterday for ban mian (aka life) with ice milo. A mini catch up and I passed her, her christmas present! She had a bad morning and omg, when she saw the present, her face lit up. She smiled so bright and I could tell that she was really happy. I guess that's the best part of Christmas. In fact, the best part of life. It is when you give and you see the wide and genuine smile on the face of the one receiving. The feeling you get is so indescribable. You give love and you feel like that's the best gift ever. You see them smiling and you feel happy and alive too. I am so glad to be able to have her around and for her to be there no matter what.
Second, after having a joyful time with Jenz, I was late to meet Sarah. When I finally met her, the contagious and madness laughter begins. We alighted at Telok Ayer and started to hunt for the place we want to have dinz at. It was a debate between pastas and more pastas. But somehow, we came across this Mexican restaurant and we thought why not! I guess the food was rather alright and so was the margarita. It was my first time having margarita and I guess it isn't the best. I would give it a 6/10. The pulled pork was rather delicious as well as the salty nachos! Mad love for the nachos and the mango something salsa for the taco omg. The beef for the taco wasn't what I had in mine but it was alright. Would give the food a 7/10 and the mango something salsa and nachos a 9/10 hahaha. I guess I would perhaps visit there again but it isn't a "die die must go back" kind of thing.

| this was taken a day before yesterday LOL. |
We then headed to Chinatown and omfg. Don't even get me started on the street food. I feel like this is the only reason why I want to be in Hong Kong all the time. I had sugarcane and curry fishballs. Then I had ding ding tang (a traditional chinese hard candy which is my fav asdfghjkl) and Sarah had a soursop juice. I WANT TO GO BACK FOR MORE CURRY FISHBALLS. Sarah was like "enough omg Chloe, we just ate!!!!!" hahahaha ooops. We also had Mango Shaved Ice at 'Bing Liu' or something. It wasn't the best and I still prefer Xin Wang's one. Nevertheless, it was an amazing day with this girl because we always have laughter and it amazes me how we don't get to meet often but our friendship remains this strong.
Lastly, today!!!!!
I woke up late. Met Ron at a later timing than we had in mind. We went for dinz (which was my first meal) at Far East because I wanted the salted egg pork ribs rice. After dinz, we headed to Marina Bay and that asshole made me walk so much I want to kill him. Being a smart alec, we constantly had to walk back and forth, even at Gardens by the Bay. Even though he is such an asshole and annoying, I couldn't be more thankful and blessed to have him around. He always made sure that every christmas I feel loved and will be surprised. He is the best angel I can ever ask for and he is mine (not the BGR way pls stop thinking that he is my boyfriend or that we have that kind of connection because we are only best friends and always will be). The lights at the garden was so beautiful and there was this area that had like fake snow and it was magical. I love love love the lights and I still think that beautiful is an understatement for what I have seen and felt at that moment by looking at those lights. I have this thing where I feel like christmas lights everywhere is what makes me so much more joyful and that life is magical. It isn't the most breathtaking view I've seen however no doubt, it is still just as beautiful.
p/s: some photos has no filter because I am too tired to edit them all hahahaha
This season, it makes me thank God for the downs that I have been through this year. If it wasn't for the lows and downs, I wouldn't be here feeling so blessed for having my circle of people loving me and supporting me through everything I want to do and believe in. I wouldn't be as strong as I am now and I wouldn't have grown more. It doesn't matter how many I have lost. All that matters is that the circle of people I have around me now are the ones that stayed through everything and I know will always have my back through all the thunderstorms and rainbows. I couldn't ask for more than them and happiness for them. Thank you and here's to many more christmas(s) ahead (even though some of us don't celebrate this season haha). Give love around and you will feel so much lighter and better.
xo,
Chloe
