Dear Dayre,

A hello from my silly little Chewy! Love every visit back home cuz I get to cuddle my pets. 😘

That spaz face aiyohhh. She's such a cutie pie.

I finally found my IT coat from ZARA – On sale too omg?! For only $69.90, it is absolutely worth it. 50% off I believe! 🤗

Also bought a whole ton of other stuff too you don't wanna know 🙈🙉🙊 Or rather my husband would not want to know but ah well. HOW OFTEN DO I SHOP OUTSIDE let me tell you it is not that often because #loyalsupporter of #thevelvetdolls but yeah I can't manufacture a coat like this!! Haha

I also popped by Uniqlo for some trusty heattec, sweaters and a really light-weight coat 😍

@reeniepoh and I were very pleased with our spending and loot today 😂 Boost juice for energy refuel after an intense shopping session!

I think i'm ready to brave the winter cold! Not sure how many layers i'm gonna need for this sort of weather cuz it's gonna be subzero temperatures and LOOK there's gonna be morning snow forecast ❄️ Sounds excellent!

I've yet to plan the itinerary by the way so we're really gonna play by ear this time but I believe it'll all be awesome 🤗

Also getting prepped and primped in time for holiday and CNY 🤗 YAY i finally got my nails fixed! It's been almost two months and my nails were breaking so badly cos i peeled off the gelish 😅 Opted for a clean and organic set this time with these gorgeous botanics!

Look for @jenrine at #thenailartelier 💅🏻❤

Before flying off, there's gonna be a TON of work to do and I'm going to be sooooo busy for the next four days until I fly on Tuesday morning 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

But I know I can do it! And with my trusty team to hold the fort while I'm away, I'm not too worried.

I've decided that my new year resolutions are gonna wait til CNY because that's when my year really ends 😂 Right now, it's gonna be work work work and then travel holiday work while holidaying and back to work work work!

I'm not sure if you guys feel the same way as me, but having an upcoming vacation gives me motivation to work haha 😂 It's like a reward for having worked hard enough! 💪🏻

加油!!!

On a side-note, I'm gonna be singing at CM-PB Dempsey tonight, Friday from 7.30PM onwards! Come catch me and Ariane and have dinner or drinks at CM-PB 😊 My first gig of the year!

2017 means it's the tenth year together with my man, and maintaining a strong marriage is something very important IMO! 😘

As well as working towards becoming better persons together – In all aspects.

There's been times when we've both felt so frustrated with each other during conflicts and arguments because we are very different people with extremely different characters and mindsets. 😩

We both need to work on understanding each other from our opposite perspectives when that happens!

For instance, YZ was super sweet about me travelling to Seoul without him because he understood that I hadn't seen @tammikwok for the longest time and that it'd be nice to catch up with her ❤ Despite his initial slight unhappiness and worry about me travelling, he very quickly understood how I felt regarding this trip and didn't make a fuss over it although he'll be sleeping alone for a week. I really really appreciate him for it!

Aiyah, marriage isn't always easy you know but I always believe that love (and especially marriage) is a conscious decision and effort!

We all have our shortcomings but at the end of the day you picked your partner for a reason so always remember to see the best in them no matter what 🤗
