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.

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.

MRT Station

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 4 & 5

Day 4 & 5, December 18th/19th 2012

So today I had a sleepover at Aayushi's with Denyvi. We made a vlog to tell you guys what we got up to on day 4. On day 5, Aayushi, Denyvi and I had pancakes for breakfast. Then went out to go and see The Hobbit. It's a really good movie, if you havent seen it yet, go and see it! We then did a bit of shopping and Japanese Photobooth. It was a lot of fun!

When I got home from the sleepover I found that my brother and sister both had haircut. My brother HAD long curly hair that is now short. My sister had long hair that is now slightly above her shoulders. I also found out that my dog, Whiskey, is sick. He vomited and can barley walk. When he does walk he cries and wines. Whiskey is old for a dog of his bread. 11 years old in dog years, 77 in human year. I don't know whats wrong with him but I hope that it's not the end. He will get better I hope. :) 

Hope you guys are having a wonderful holiday so far! To everyone that is traveling safe travels and I hope that you enjoy yourself and to people that are not traveling hope that you have a lot of fun!

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.
