I can't believe we're going to start a new year again. It seems like yesterday that I celebrated the 2011 new year with my boyfriend's fam in HK. I miss those moments a lot.


This year has brought me a lot of things. I'm glad that my family has still been blessed by You. Thank You for giving me the most precious boyfriend I've ever met. Thank You for guiding us through this whole year being in a long distance relationship. Thank You for the support and strength that you've put in me when I was stressed with the projects of school. Thank You God, you are the greatest of all. :) 


I hope you had a wonderful year too, don't forget to say thank you to Him. Have a nice new year celebration! See you 2012 :)

Pink Christmas

This is going to be a random and mixed up post, sorry! hope you'll enjoy it though :) 


Soooo, it's getting nearer to Christmas! what are your plans for christmas guys? I'm going to church and gonna have christmas eve dinner in my apt. I'm gonna cook Cornflakes-Crusted Chicken Breast and made christmas cookies. Hopefully all will turn out good! :) 


Last week, I saw this beautiful Pink Christmas tree in Taikang Lu. There are so many christmas trees around here in Shanghai. The christmas spirit is EVERYWHERE! There's always something about christmas that I love.. 
Christmas feels...magical. 

The pink christmas tree..Thank God I could capture a clear picture of it, because there were quite a lot of people.

So today, I had lunch with my friends to this place called Villa 1 . It has some of good restaurants from Thai to American. 
We decided to have lunch at a Greek restaurant called Greek Tavena. The interior is awesome. I love the colors, ambience, food, services, homey feeling of it. Will def recommend everyone to go there too! 

 they also have nice patio upstairs. But because it's winter here already, so nobody would wanna sit there. 

One of our food, Greek Salad

I'm gonna share the shots from last week when I went to a Thai restaurant called Teddy Bear Cafe. The place is sooooo damn cute. Full of teddy bears (not a big fan of teddy bears, but when you got here, you'll def gonna love teddy bears!). 

last Tuesday I managed to bake Nutella Cheesecake, finally! original recipe HERE

I'm wishing you all a great christmas day ahead!!
