Xmas tree and Russian baby

Jessie said it is time for Xmas tree shopping so she asked Lilian along with her family. We went to Far East Flora and they just stocked up their Xmas trees and the whole place looked like a forest of Xmas trees! The smell is amazing. 

Lilian's Sg-Russian kids Nikolai and Leonid were sooo cute!!! Nikolai couldn't stop moving about, he's super active and chatting and friendly. And he kept taking pots of flowers coz he liked them and wants to buy them. In the end they also bought a huge spade lol.

We had lunch at Open Farm, which wasn't too shabby but a tad too ulu and pricey. Probably their lunch or dinner menu would be better. Thanks Jessie for the treat hehe and looking forward to another Xmas tree Xmas at her place!

Coloured hair

The last time I coloured my hair was 8 years ago, when I was still working in Shanghai. After returning o Sg and working in bank I didn't really think it was time to colour - and at that time working in the office people would point out things. 

I didn't had the thought of colouring my hair but since we are working from home, and I need a haircut and in time for Xmas, I thought why not? 

Initially I wanted to be really blonde or like ash grey but Chloe said it would be too damaging to my scalp and hair and it would like several hours so she did a normal brown colour. $115 for a haircut and colour.

11.11 sale

My bank account automatically dips in November. 

Every year I always have a list of things to buy for the 11.11 sale, it's really the biggest sale with so many vouchers and everything.. except for flight fares but ok, I can stock up for the year. 

My list of items bought during 11.11:

1. Taobao - 4 x Schott Zwiesel wine glasses - they were on pre-11.11 sale and so much cheaper than retail stores in sg. Pre 11.11 sale is slightly cheaper than 11.11 itself. Unbelievable. I have always wanted to have my own wine glass and I really like the shape. Total damage $66.

2. Hush Candles - 2 x room sprays, 2 xmas candles, 1 Kyoto candle, 1 lavender candle. I bought 1 of their lavender candle previously and find it really smoothing, and it's really cheap compared to the usual Diptyque that I have. And all of them were on 22% off! Total damage was $175.

3. Myprotein - 7kg worth of protein powder - enough to last me for 12 months. 62% discount off so $200. I realised they raised their prices a lot this year when I compared to last year's order.

4. Diptyque - Baies Room spray. I am going to have so much room fragrance. I do light a candle every night now so the room spray is more convenient and instant, and more worth than the candle. I still like the black Baies candle though. Maybe next sale. $75

5. 2 more boxes of wine from Alex. Wells, that's the last of those wines from the winery before his company sells off the winery. I have 36 bottles of wine in my room now. $400

6. Ishopchangi - Tarsier Oriental Pink gin. I always buy my alcohol from there during 11.11. It was 11% off so $72.

7. Shopee - Shampoo, facial stuff from Japan and other items here and there because there's are just so many vouchers. $152.

I spent more than $1k in total as compared to the $500 last year. This year's 11.11 is really shopping spree for me and I think I overdid on room fragrances and the alcohol. I have become a room fragrance fanatic what a twist lol. Surprisingly I didn't buy any clothes or sneakers but I think soon haha. That Thom Browne T-shirt might be mine sometime. 

I am so excited for all my packages to come. It's like Xmas heheh.

One day MBS

Last Saturday after collecting our pottery - my 2 sake flask and cups, Jessie suggested to go to MBS for dinner so ok, here we go. I've always wanted to eat at Yardbird and indeed it didn't disappoint.

For appetizers we ordered a salad and deviled eggs. The deviled eggs were lovely. For mains we ordered a mac and cheese - this is wowww and also their signature chicken, waffles and watermelon. We also ordered a cocktail and a beer and the bill came up to $74 each but we were both super full. It was a really good dinner. Their signature chicken was really good, not dry at all and the skin was crispy. I think everything we ordered were quite good and luckily we only ordered 1 main coz it was so big.

After that we were so full so we pretended to be rich and went shopping at Valentino, Longchamp, Burberry and there was a Thom Browne store. I went to try a few things.

Sigh I really love the Thom Browne 4-bar sweater but I could only use when I go to winter countries so it wasn't worth it. I also love the pique 4-bar Tshirt which was $670. Urgh. Why so expensive. I really can't bring myself to buy a 600+ t-shirt. Or should I just do it.
