First post of 2016

January 8, 2016

HELLO it’s 2016! Been so busy that I didn’t update at all in December. I did post-process some photos but somehow never got round to posting them. Somehow I just don’t see a need to put everything out online as much as I used to anymore.

Prefer to spend my free time with loved ones, trying to milk my KFit membership, reading (I finished re-reading the Harry Potter, Princess Diaries and Georgia Nicholson series hehe), watching shows and planning my next holiday 😀

Being a laggard again but I’m currently quite hooked on Game of Thrones omg??

Freaking out at Estelle and CK who have already watched till the latest episode HAHA. Ok some parts are quite draggy but they have so many WTF moments that leave my jaws dropping. This scene that I was spazzing about seriously takes shock to new heights.

Wish I’d watched it earlier i.e. when each episode aired like what I used to do with Vampire Diaries… and then go on Tumblr to fangirl, reblog all the GIFs, discuss theories and ships etc hahaha. Too bad I haven’t used Tumblr in years because of time.

December was fantastic especially with Christmas even though I worked pretty much worked the whole of Dec 31, Jan 1 and Jan 2. But it’s okay because I get to save all my off days for when I go on holiday 😀

Just felt like visiting the place after seeing pictures online so I randomly threw out the suggestion to my friends and surprisingly everyone agreed so enthusiastically. Going there in mid-Jan which is in two weeks!

Also bought my flight tickets to Gold Coast at a steal (S$292) back in November. Going there to visit David and Jessica in February. So that’s another thing to look forward to yay.

My mum wants to go Hong Kong so I’ll probably bring her there in March. I am waiting for a good Cathay Pacific deal because it’s one of the top-rated airlines that I’ve yet to try.

Nearly booked tickets to Bangkok for April because the last time I went there was 2014 but I thought that might be too much and too soon so I didn’t. Should I have?! It was only $92 after taxes and everything though wtf.

Hahaha okay I should stop wanderlusting. Time really flies… Even CNY is coming. If you are looking for the perfect oufit, don’t forget to check out Zalora’s Chinese New Year collection! Plenty of lovely options even if you are not a fan of red 🙂

January seems pretty exciting so far but maybe I’ll reveal more another time! Super occupied with work of late because I’m working on lots of extra projects in addition to daily editorial stuff. I hope 2016 will be full of opportunities and happiness and all good things 🙂

How McDonald’s new clubhouse burger, truffle fries and red velvet McFlurry taste like

November 26, 2015

UPDATE (Nov 27)!!!

P/S: I do not get paid in any way for this post.

Live update from my office desk on how the new Red Velvet McFlurry with Oreo Cookie Bits tastes like. No mascots today (they looked really weird, too bad I didn’t get a photo), we went down to McDonald’s and bought it ourselves.

Actually I couldn’t taste the red velvet at all but anything with oreo is always good. No idea why CK’s one is so red though, compared to mine below.

Anyway, everyone else was eating the truffle fries today and the smell was so overwhelming that it was actually quite a turn-off.

Original article (Nov 26):

McDonald’s mascots (called ‘taste buds’ and dressed in pink, even their boots) dropped by the office this morning with their new clubhouse burgers and truffle flavoured shaker fries.  They are part of the year-end festive menu.

The truffle fries are a bit strange… more like flavoured salt? But I never liked any of their shaker fries, even the seaweed or spicy ones. Even their curly fries were average to me. I prefer the normal ones. Oh but the sweet potato fries were quite good!

Singaporeans being Singaporeans have already started complaining on McDonald’s Facebook page. Eh hello, they said truffle flavoured fries, not truffle fries ok? Want to eat actual truffle fries then pay more at a cafe la.

McDonald's chicken clubhouse burger

The chicken clubhouse burger (comes in beef too) is not bad. I like the onions, cheese (duh) and the sour sauce but am not a fan of the bacon. McSpicy will still always be my favourite though! It is unbeatable so far.

I ate so much today… Rice in the morning then the McDonald’s came at lunch time. Then redeemed free kaya toast from the kopitiam in the late afternoon. Then we had our monthly party with free food and drinks at around dinner time. My waist is going to disappear soon haha.

I love working here! What an interesting week with Def Leppard as well. Not forgetting how I have 21 days of annual leave excluding all the special leave and off days I get from working on holidays. Planning a getaway to Montigo Resorts in Jan and I’ve already booked my flight ticket to Australia in Feb 😀

Signed up for classes using the KFit app with Estelle too. I finished 2 this week! It’s actually very fun but super intensive too. Running on a treadmill at the gym is like a piece of cake compared to these.

I also started watching Games of Thrones because I wanted a show to binge-watch. But I refuse to watch Vampire Diaries because I spent 6 years being invested in Delena and it is gone. Time to move on to better things.

HELLO

Work in progress. Me and this site both.
