Christmas Holiday Round-Up, Day 14 & 15

Day 14, December 28th 2012

Hey everyone! Today I got up a little earlier so that my family and I could go to the movies! My Mum, Tessa and I went to go and see 'Life of Pi' and my Dad and Hamish saw 'Wreck-it Ralph'. I saw 'Wreck-it Ralph' with my friend Caelan not to long ago. Anyway, 'Life of Pi' is a movie about:
A young man who survives a disaster at sea is hurtled into an epic journey of adventure and discovery. While cast away, he forms an unexpected connection with another survivor ... a fearsome Bengal tiger. - from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454876/. 

Life of Pi movie 

It is a longer movie, 2 hours long but it is a good movie. In some parts it's a bit slow but after that it's really good. After the movie we went for some food. We went to a Japanese bakery and I got a cheesy bun thing. Its a bread bun with some cheese in the middle. It is soo good! Then my Mum wanted to go shopping for some winter clothes. Whilst my Mum, Tessa and I were shopping, my Dad was looking for a suit. After about 30 min Dad met us up and we went home. For the rest of the day I was at home not really doing anything. For dinner I had char siu and rice. Yum!

Yum! char siu and rice

4 more days until 2013! <3

Day 15, December 29th 2012

Today was an action-pact day! I had to get up a little earlier because we were going to the new aquarium at resorts world Sentosa. But in the morning we went to the fruit market to get some fresh fruit and vegetables. After that we went to Vivo City for lunch and a little bit of shopping. We went to Marche for lunch! It is one of my favorite restaurants even though I have only been there a couple of times. After that my Dad, Tessa, Hamish and I went on the cable cars to get to Sentosa. Then to the museum and the aquarium. The aquarium is full of so many amazing bright colorful fish! We where there for about 1 hour and a half. I took a lot of photos during the day and they show a lot about it.

Christmas Holiday Round-Up, Day 11

Day 11, December 25th 2012

Merry Christmas!

Christmas is finally here everyone! Hope you all had a amazing day full of joy and wonderful things! My sister, Tessa and my friend Caelan and I all got up before 7 ready to go downstairs and see what was under the Christmas tree. But the rule was we weren't allowed. So we waited 2 minutes until it was 7. Then we got all the parents up and the rest of the kids. We rushed downstairs to see what was underneath the tree. My family and Caelans family all unwrapped presents from Santa and from each other all together. One of the things I got was the new iPod Touch 5, neon yellow and a mustache case. When I got it I literally screamed because I was so exited to get one. My sister, brother and I all shared  an iPod Touch 4 before, but it got annoying sharing when your brother is 4 and is always wanting it. So my sister and I both got our own and my brother got the old one. But Christmas is not about the presents, it's about spending time with your family and friends. And thats exactly what my family and I did on Christmas day. We had a big Christmas lunch with friends that lasted 5 hours! It was great and I had a lot of fun! 

I hope you all had a great Christmas and photos are on their way!

One Direction Christmas!

Christmas Holiday Round-Up, Day 2

Day 2, December 16th 2012

Today was a very relaxed day. I slept in until 11:30 and didn't get out of bed for another hour on top of that. I love sleeping in in the holidays. It's a chance to catch up on sleep and just relax. 

So today, specifically in the evening my family and I went round to some family friends house for dinner. We were there for about 5 hours and didn't get back home until late. On the right is a pic of the rest of the kids playing on the trampoline. The kids, me being the eldest, had lamb, rice, peas, and sushi for dinner. I love sushi because it is delicious and depending on what type of sushi, it can be healthy as well.  The lamb was beautifully cooked as well. The kids played for the rest of the evening and watched a movie called "Prancer". It is about one fo Santas reindeer that gets lost and a little girl finds him. That happens at about 20 min into the 1 and a half hour long movie. What happens in the rest of the movie is the reindeer is hidden by the girl in her dads shed, he doesn't know its there, he finds out, he sells it, the girl goes to get it back, she falls from a tree whilst trying to save the reindeer  people sing to her from her window, the reindeer goes back home to Santa. Thats basically the whole movie. 1 hour and a half. To be honest, it wasn't the best Christmas movie as you can probably see but I still had a great time at their house. 

Hope you guys are having a great start to the holidays and tomorrow is going to be and interesting day.......I'll keep you posted!

9 days till Christmas! Yay!

Christmas Holiday Round-Up, Day 1

Day 1, December 15th 2012


Hey Everyone! Hope you guys have a amazing holiday. So what I have decided to do, is do a Christmas Holiday Round-Up and post what I have been up to over the holidays. I'll start at day 1 and keep going until the end of the holidays. Wish you guys a Merry Christmas and may your Christmas be full of joy, family and friends, and fun. Hope you guys have a great holiday and a Happy New Year!

Wahoo! The Christmas holidays are finally here! Ok, so it's day 1 of the holidays, not much going on so far. Im staying in singapore this year instead of going home to N.Z. BUT I will still have an amazing holiday here with friends and family. So today wasn't really a action-packed day, but I still had fun. I spent the first half of my day basically doing nothing and some homework which was total fun.....ish. But as you can see, on the left is a pic of a Christmas tree and a whole-lot-of flying white things. Well those flying white things, they're all fake snow. My family and I went to Tanglin Mall to go and play around in the fake snow and by that I mean my brother and sister playing in the fake snow whilst my Mum, Dad and I watch and laugh from the side. Every year around Christmas time Tanglin Mall make and put up a Christmas tree. They put up a different tree and decorations every year, my family and I go nearly every year. It is a lot of fun and afterwards we drive down Orchard road to look at all the Christmas light. 




On the right is me standing in the middle of the falling fake snow. It was like a blizzard but a soapy blizzard. By the end of it, my shoes were covered in the 'snow' and so was my hair! But it was a lot of fun. 

So this is what I did on day 1 of the Christmas break. 

10 days till Christmas! Yay!

High Tea at the Shangri La

Saturday, 8th December 2012

12:30pm - 2:10pm

Last Saturday I went for High Tea, a fancy buffet, at the Shangri La hotel. The lunch was for my Mum, Sister (Tessa), myself, Auntie Ioana, Iosenja, and Maeischa. The lunch was to celebrate Christmas together before they go away for the holidays back to New Zealand. It was so we could get together and spend some time with each other. At the lunch we had fancy tea's and a lot of different food to choose from. It was delicious! 

Auntie Ioana, Iosenja, and Maeischa are not related to me in any way. We are just really close friends. I call her Auntie Ioana because that's just what I have always called her. She has known me since I was a baby. The girls, Iosenja and Maeischa, are 2 of my best friends. Iosenja is 12, same as me, and Maeischa is 10. All of us come from New Zealand. We have been having play dates and sleepovers for as long as I can remember. I know them well enough to call them family. Anyone that means something to me or is a close friend, is my family. Family is not just whose in your D.N.A. and whose in your blood. It is soo much more than that. 

 Family is anyone that cares for you and loves you. 

Always remember that.
