Have A Holly Jolly Christmas

Ferringhi Garden Restaurant @ Batu Ferringhi


Happy Holidays!! I can feel the festive season so close to us now. Christmas Lights are beautifully decorated along the road... colourful bulbs hanging up high on our top.. Candy Canes that I received from friends... so much of joy waiting for me and it just keep telling me that Christmas is here, New Year is even getting closer too :) I couldn't help but feeling so excited when I know New Year Eve is going to be so much different from previous years. How can I not jumping up and down when I finally get to see fireworks showering on me when 2012 is here! I know I will shed tears and deep down, feeling so lucky by welcoming my 2012 at such wonderful x magical place.

Celebrations are for anybody, regardless of your race or language you're spoken. It unites everyone of us together at this special day,  we hug x cry x smile x laugh because we feel loved and we pray for a better year ahead. It always does... There are friends who couldn't make it home or choose to celebrate this day at somewhere else, all alone or with someone special. No matter where you are my Dear Friends.... you have been missed (esp Joe, Karen, June) & I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ♥ 

Lovelocker had a precious Farewell x Christmas dinner with darling friends on last night. We had good time (always will be) and here are some photos taken at this cozy restaurant.

Falling Of White Snowflakes

Let's build snowflakes on your computer screen. I don't know how but snowflakes keep falling down... slowly it gets frosty then you can even defrost it ^^ I got so affected by snowflakes so I must let everyone try it out :)

1. Open Google
2. Google Search for ''let it snow''
3. Wait for a while, you will see surprise 
4. Enjoy it 


I wish those snowflakes bring you hope.. and it reminds you of me when you get to touch the real one.

My final KL trip in Year 2011

A 3 days 2 nights in KL were never enough... anything that got to do with family will always touched me deep in my heart. The imperfect incident was me suffering from bad flu and light fever throughout the trip >.<  I was feeling so cold in the hotel room for the first night until I got to buy a long sleeve pj set in Uniqlo for the following night. Anyway, the pj set is kinda cute too, I probably need it for winter.

On our first day, we started our journey at about 7ish, it took us 2 hours to arrive in Ipoh. My brother had organised the trip perfectly so our first stop was Fu Shan Restaurant. We were there for their famous Dim Sum. The restaurant was renovated in ancient style, using wooden chairs and some antique vases. It brought us back to those olden days when ancient peoples carrying a sword on their back and use silver coins to buy a BAO. .. (what a description) LOL. I presonally recommend their Dumpling Soup because the dumpling was wrapped with fresh prawns and once you bite it, you can feel Q Q :)

After we filled up our stomach, we continue our journey. Our first mission is to arrive in KL before 2pm because moi needs to collect my UK Visa in between 2-3pm (Yes UK Border Agency only allow collection during 2-3). Unexpectedly, we arrived in KL an hour earlier so we stopped by at KLCC for some shopping. Traffic in KL is still that bad but luckily we have GPS to guide us along although brother did missed out a few turns then I hear Siri saying "re-calculating".... Oh Ohhhh

While waiting for the collection time, I took this "opportunity" to shop for my winter accessories. I missed out a Winter Jacket at Zara on my previous trip so I wanted to get it this time, but, my size was sold out!!! Ohhhh why.... I thought I was petite enough to not having any other shoppers out there grabbing the same size as me?!!! I was feeling so disapointed and regrets for not getting it earlier but mum told me to try out at other Zara outlets as this was just our first stop. So I must have faith to believe that I will get it tomorrow. And yes! I bought it from Zara Midvalley on the next day! Yohoo~

Afterall, Visa has been collected and I felt much more relief now. Days after were filled up with joys and happiness with my family. Especially when my crazy cousins were with us, she was a prank and full of shitsss, but in a humor way laaaa. Hahahahahaa. We spent our Saturday at Midvalley and Pavilion being a shopaholic. Sorry to jump in, why Pavilion was soooooooo super packed???! I saw a lots of Bangla as well..... they are so happy to take photo with the United Buddy Bears. Damn funny..

Anyway, guess whos the winner of the night? I mean Shopping Queen. You won't believe it!!

"Drum roll..........." The winner is my 12 years old cousin! She bought 4 sets of Chinese New Year clothes x 6 pcs doughnuts (my brother counted this as well) LOL.... so she smiled all the way from Pavilion back to the hotel :) Evil.... and also ''hao lian''


I wasn't that bad too...at least I managed to buy what I need for winter so I was happy enough to pack and fly to Singapore on the next day. We had Chili Pan Mee at Super Kitchen before I say goodbye to them. My brother dropped me at KL Sentral, I carried a super big luggage and departed to Singapore on an evening flight. The end of my KL trip... with lots of shopping bags. Specially thanks to my brother who scheduled the trip with yummy lunch & dinner. And also co-operation from all of you for my Visa collection :)

Here are some photos taken in Pavilion, the Christmas decoration is rated the best so far.. I missed out Christmas @ Orchard Road because it was raining when I was there. Take a look at those sweet candy sticks x merry go round x cupakes. Christmas is always colorful * * * * *

She is my beloved pranky cousin

See.. prank again 

xoxo, looking for more family trip in Year 2012

Good friends bring you good times

Jazz Festival @ G Spot Lounge, G Hotel Gurney

I really really love and hope Penang would organise more Jazz festival or Musical performance in future. When I was in Singapore hanging out with good friends, we could found surprises here and there and one of my favorite is slow walking to Esplanade, grab a seat at the open hall and started to appreciate free performance at Water Front Esplanade. There is a stage where live bands get to share their music with people like us on every Friday to Sunday. I hope it's still on-going because my last be there moment was about 8 months ago. Eventhough sometimes you might bump into some musical bands who's not in your list but the matter is you get to share the moments with everybody else and music is a magic, wherever you hear music, you will be delighted. I heard Sentosa offering a few of nice Jazz musical bands in the evening as well but lovelocker has never get a chance to hear them perform before because I usually left before the evening arrives.

Well back in Penang, I still love what I am having here but it can be better. Seeing my good friends in Penang is also one of the precious thing I appreciate and how we can get along so close? We share almost the same interests and just simply enjoy it. There are few of us and we hardly see each other after so-called our "chasing after rounder moon" to persue our dream in different countries. So whenever we came back to our hometown, we spent our quality time together. Arghh I started to feel emo and missing each and every one of you. For cupcakes (you know who you are :) sorry for not able to make it for 2012 Chinese New Year, the 5 of us reunion once a year is not so perfect this time but I am pretty sure you gal's would have fun without me laaaaa. If you gal's remain our ''Lou Sang'' custom at Redbox, don't forget to make few wishes for me (Joe is not allow to wish for a stay) LOL

So here are some photos taken approx 3 weeks back at the Jazz Festival. This Jazz Festival was held in Penang and we were lucky enough to have a chance to hear them perform and enjoy it with good friends, thanks to our good sister, Wendy and it was nice meeting her friends Jenny x Ai Li too. I will let the photos do all the talking at our unforgettable Jazzy night :)

Holiday is here again

Today I am officially unemployed as a temporary finance analyst at Knowles. Time flies in a glimpse of eyes, I had been working there for 3 months and met some kind and friendly colleagues. I am very much appreciated and will always remember our good times... you guy's are people whom I would never get a chance to meet or work with in my merchandising field. Despite people always says that finance is a ''boring'' department but you all really proved them wrong! Lastly, the team work you guy's shared together during closing period was truly admirable. I wish you guy's All The Best and lessen bullets from GC :P

Back to topic, I will have a short vacation with my family from 9th-11th Dec in Kuala Lumpur and another fly away vacation to Singapore until 15th Dec. Also, my London flight has finally confirmed and scheduled on 26th Dec (yes is Boxing day & a day after Christmas). Finally....... London is calling.

This vacation included my mom, brother, sister in law, 2 cousins and me.The adults are attending Jacky Cheung's concert on Friday so we want to tag along and have fun together. I remember my family trip was back in 2 years in Shanghai and without my cousins. My youngest brother always missed out because he had no time for vacation. Poor zhu zhu daddy ^@^ Anyway, I am done packing my luggage (wohoo) and because I am flying to Singapore right after KL, so I am cracking my head for the most convenient packing to avoid moving my stuffs from here and there. I am feeling exhilarate for my weekend get-away and most importantly, I am ''going back'' to Singapore to see my piggie family! Just in case you have to know, I will return to Penang after Singapore for Christmas :) How can I not celebrate Christmas with my beloved friends and family...

I am so so miss the feeling of shopping in Singapore!! Do you think it's possible for me NOT to shop when Singapore is having a Christmas Sales? I was reminded by this uncle at a currency exchange shop this afternoon while I was doing my deal. He asked ''When are you going to Singapore?'' I answered and he shiok sendiri saying ''Oh you are going to shop there because they are having year end sales?!!''.....followed by a tone which we exclaimed as Laughing Out Loud, so called LOL. I think he finally got a good exchange deal after 10 shops of survey, therefore he can't hide his happiness, hahahaha ( I am happy for him too)

Alright, is getting late and I still need to pick up my alteration piece from the tailor shop. I FORCE aunty to get it done by tonight (I sent in this afternoon) because I love x love that dress so much

Littlelovelocker will come back soon with more updates x photos taken in KL and Singapore. Have a good evening and even though I am enjoying - Everyday is a Friday, but I will count down for T.G.I.F with all of you too! (Evil grins)

xoxo, Happy Weekend in advance

We Talk, We Eat and We Laugh

Weissbrau German Bistro & Bar @ Straits Quay

Since few months ago we've been talking about a dinner catch up before Hui Teng's relocating to Australia, my departure to London and Karen's home coming holiday. All of us are so difficult to fix a time because we were working in different countries. Although we managed to make it this time (by hook or crook) but one of our friend was tie up with account's closing period, so she was not able to turn up this round.

Two pretty ladies arrived before me because I was slightly late on that night, so I met them at the Straits Quay Lobby and did some recap talk of Friday's traffic :) Surprisingly it wasn't that bad. The venue is actually planned by me so I brought them to Weissbrau German Bistro & Bar to try out their famous European favorites. This is my second visit, my first visit was with my Singapore's friend Melissa on last month. She heard they make very nice pork knuckle so she wanted to try it out. And yes it was a good one.

The air was pretty stuffy on Friday, so we took an indoor table instead of outdoor. After the menu was served, browsing through and Karen inquiries the waitress for their recommendations. In the end, we ordered Country Style Rosemary Pork Ribs & Neck x Butcher's Platter. Not forget, we can pick 2 side orders to go with our main course meal. So we picked Rosti x Spatzli x Garlic Mash Potato & Market Vegetables.

Order was placed so three of us started to do our chatting and photo taking. We talk about our upcoming plans, my preparation to London in terms of winter equipments, school and accommodation, Karen's homesick issue and also how heavy hearted Hui Teng is to leave her hometown. She's engaged and her fiance is living in Australia so she's making a big sacrifices to move over to Australia. However, I am very very happy for her because she's going to start a new journey with her loved one, I know it's going to be tough at the beginning but I know she would be fine afterall. You will always have us spiritually. All the best to you, Mrs Tan :)

We waited about 20 mins, foods are finally served and yes - BIG portion! The 3 ladies were so enjoyable munching our western favorites.

After the sinful dinner, we carry on with more chats. Initially we plan to have drinks at somewhere else but the ambiance was delightful so we ended up for 4 hours at Weissbrau. The night was really fun and I am so grateful to have them in my life. Our friendship has lasts for so long ever since secondary school. And now, we are still keeping in touch.  Even when we don't get to see each other often, you gals are always, always in my heart. 

xoxo, good night

Blowing Korea Madness

Thanks to Youtube, I unexpectedly figure out this music video call Trouble Maker while scrolling here and there to find some nice Korea musics. Well I believed most of you have this experience when you  hear some nice Korea musics on the radio, while doing shopping at some Korea boutiques but we have no idea who are the singer or when do we get to hear this song again?!

I know some of the musics from Korea is far more better than Chinese pop song and I am very much impressed by the Korean's hair-do, make up, fashion, shooting skills and how they play with colors. I was told by my ex-bosses when they used to deal with the manufacturers in Korea, so they normally get to travel to Korea like once a month. They told me regardless of who you are, how young/old and what job you are doing.. Their appearance will always look good and groomed themselves nicely everyday. Well look at ourself and colleagues surrounding you, I don't think most of us spend enough of time dolling up before we leave the house, even the guys right :)

Some say it is simply because of the culture differences but hey, I do not agree at all. What does culture has to do with our appearance? Stop making an excuse and start pampering yourself or make yourself look glowing everyday okay?  If you have no idea where you should begin with? You can try check out some useful magazines. However, I personally advise all of you to grab a non-local published magazine because the contents in local published magazine are not as richness as International published magazines.

I would love to share more in details for magazine selection at my blog soon. Stay tune if you are interested.

As for now, allow me to post and enjoy my most viewed mv of the week.
