Christmas Holiday Round-Up, Day 12 & 13

Day 12, December 26th 2012

Hi everyone! On Wednesday we didn't really do anything because my friend Caelan and her family are going back to Hong Kong. They had to get ready and pack all their bags. Around 1:15pm we had to drive them to the airport and say goodbye. I always hate that part of visits. But along with saying goodbye, you say 'see you next time' or 'see you soon'. And it's true. When you say goodbye you are never saying goodbye forever. For Christmas, my parents gift to me was a trip to Hong Kong during the Easter break to go and spend a week there with Caelan on my own! I'll go on my own for the first week them my family join us on the second week. It is going to be a lot of fun and I am really looking forward to going! I do miss Caelan but I can't wait to see her in April during Easter! 

Todays round-up is only short because not that much happened.

Hope you all are having a great holiday!

Day 13, December 27th 2012

Hey again! So today was a fun day. In the morning my Dad, sister Tessa and brother Hamish all went prawn fishing. For those of you who don't know what that is, it like fishing other than it's in an inclosed area, the rods are just string and a hook with bait on the end of a pole. I know this probably sounds boring but it is actually not bad. In a way it was quite fun! We were there for an hour and caught around 8-10 prawns altogether. Tessa and I shared a rod and my Dad and Hamish shared one. We had a small contest to see who could catch the most. Dad and Hamish won. Tessa and I would of had heaps more, other than we lost about half of them, sadly. At times it was boring when there was no action, but in a way I still found it nice just sit around and chat whilst waiting for prawns to take to bait so that we could catch them. Poor prawns, they never say it coming. So after the hour was up we got the prawns out from the net and put them in a bag to take home.

Wait for it, wait for it!

Got it!

For lunch instead of having prawns, Tessa and I made bacon and cheese casadias! They were really good!

Cooking the bacon!

After lunch, my family and I went to a department store called Metro (or at least I think that's what it was called). They were having a huge sale only for a couple of days and we thought we would check it out. We were there for a couple of hours. My Mum needed a new suitcase and the rest of us just wanted to look around. We were there for around 2-2:30 hours. It didn't seem like that long though. I was looking at shoe and clothes and the bag. But mostly helping my Mum and Dad look for things. Whilst my parents were busy looking at the suitcases Tessa and I went to go look at the Xbox games and the Wii games. Tessa had a go on Dance Central. I took a video of it but I won't post it. Sorry! Anyway, after 10 minutes of that we started to get a bit bored so we found our parents and my Mum said she wanted to go and look at some clothes. I found a really nice black cardigan that I got and just a couple of tank tops, blue and pink (they didn't have purple sadly), and something else and a new backpack for school. After that we went home.

Shopping!

At home my parents made Tessa, Hamish and I some dinner. Then I had to do the dishes because it was my day. Tessa and I are taking turns doing jobs around the house, vacuuming, dished, dusting, etc, whilst my helper is on holiday! After I finished the dished I took my dog Whiskey out for a walk/run. Oh by the way, Whiskey is better now! He was just sick for a bit!

So thats what I've been up to. Leave a comment of how your holidays been and what you've been up to! Not to long until 2013! Counting down the days!

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 8 & 9

Day 8 & 9, December 22th/23st 2012

So today is a day I have been looking forward to for a long time. My friend Caelan and her family are visiting from Hong Kong for 5 days! They are staying over for Christmas with us. When she got here we basically did a catch up session and talked a lot. We painted our nail and just hung out together. 

When she arrived

On Sunday we got up a little earlier so that we could go swimming at the school pool. The main pool was closed so we went to the infant pool. We also played football and went out for drinks afterwards. It was really fun.

Swimming, looking fab....

This is what we did for the first half of the day. Around 1pm we went to NEX mall for lunch, movies, timezone, shopping and frozen yogurt. To get there we took the MRT.

At the mall we had Subway for lunch then went to the movies. We saw the movie Wreck-it Ralph. It is a really good movie. I enjoyed it. If you like comedy, animation movies then you'll love this movie. After that we went to timezone. Although timezone is a lot of fun it can be a waste of money depending  on how much you choose to spend there. After that we went to a cheap type of place that sells nail polish, show laces and socks, fake nails, junk earrings and so on. I bought a couple of things there. Then we went for frozen yogurt. The place we went to is a do-it-yourself type of place. You choose your cup, get as much frozen yogurt as you want, put as many toppings on as you want, then weigh it and pay. It can be really expensive though. Next stop, Diva! Diva is one of my favorite accecory placeses. Lucky for us they were having a sale. A lot of it was still expensive until the lady pointed out and opened a $1 box! We rummaged through the box for like 20-30 minutes! I found earrings that used to be $18, $11, $20 and all of them are still new and undamaged. I got 9 things in the end. A mustache ring, a heart ring, 3 feather earrings, gold hoops, hot pink peace hoops, and 2 pairs of 6 pack earrings! The lady was about to put them in before she offered them to me! the total coast was $9. If the stuff wasn't on sale, it would of been over $100!

Overall it was a great day and I had a lot of fun. 

Hope you guys are having a great holiday wherever you are!

2 Days til Christmas!

Christmas Holiday Round-Up, Day 6 & 7

Day 6 & 7, December 20th/21st 2012

Hi everyone! So on the 20th I went out to Takashimaya to go and meet my Mum for Lunch. To get there I had to take the MRT, then walk to Takashimaya where I met my mum. We went to this really nice cafe that I forgot the name of. I had pumpkin soup with toast, my Mum had a lamb sandwich, and me went halvezies on coconut bread. It is amazing! Every time we go there, we order coconut bread. After that we went shopping for some Christmas prezzies.

Later that day I went to a sleepover at one of my good friends place, Delphine. We went swimming, watched Pretty Little Liars, surfed the web, and more. I can't remember what we ate for dinner, but we did go to fair price and bought chips, chocolate, and some drinks. We ate some of that at a park nearby and saved the rest for the Pretty Little Liars marathon. I recently started watching the series and I totally love it! At some parts it can be really creepy and suspenseful but it is a great series if you like suspense and drama. We woke up a couple of minuets before 3:11 just so I could prove to her that the world IS NOT going to end yet and that there is no need to worry. We did survive to apocalypse. I think that the big fuss of the apparent end of the world was for nothing because it was highly unlikely to even happen. We fell straight back to sleep after that. In the morning we basically watched a couple more Pretty Little Lairs episodes and hung around.
For the rest of the day I didn't do really anything I think...

Anyway.....4 Days til 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!
