Speak to me in kisses

November was amazing, what with our staycation at Orchid Country Club and a variety of activities. Pictured here is our annual and twice annual Fragile Hearts gathering at Sum Kee. The Ultraman chicken and dishes are always amazing, and we got to taste a new creation of Nic's mom, Iceberg Sweet and Sour Pork.

October was Halloween weekend and a whole bunch of other activities here in Sunny Singapore. There were Halloween parties to be at and food to be eaten. So here's a summary of my mega-October month! (Pictured here are Harlequin-Colette and Playboy Bunny-Chelsea, along with me, who's supposed to be a hippie!)

In August and September, I sort of mellowed down a lot. Didn't go out on the weekday nights or weekends like I used to at the start of the year! I guess these two months were that of relaxation and reflection, as we slowly progress towards the last quarter of the year.

In this post, I'll be documenting the 2 trips I've been to the museums here in Singapore. The first trip's pictures to ArtScience Museum for Yayoi Kasuma's exhibition are nestled in between the April, May, June post, towards the end! So for these two trips, I went to see the Universe Art, and Xiu Hai Lou Chinese Ink exhibitions at ArtScience Museum and National Gallery respectively. Not much commentary I'm afraid, but do take a look see and decide if you'd like to visit ArtScience Museum/National Gallery on your next fly-in to Singapore, or the weekend off.

I think the highlight of this month was definitely my trip to Hong Kong to see Monsta X in concert. At first I kinda found serendipity taking up kpop as a hobby again, since I used to be wayyy into kpop when I was a teenager (more about that later). So the month of July was me chilling out, going to the museum (more about that in a museum mega-post), and the concert in Hong Kong.

 Time seems to be passing so quickly, innit? In the blink of the eye it's already the end of July as I am writing this. Here are some of the memories from these 3 months: Mostly - K's dance by the Bay, Candlenut dinner with the ACSians, pub crawl with K, J, C, K...

A couple of photographers approached me on Instagram a month ago asking me to take photos with them, and here are the results - which are all types of wonderful if you ask me!

So, December was a month of extended holiday and meetups with friends, and also making new years resolutions. I was just cruising around on autopilot - meeting friends and spending time with family. Plus who can forget that impromptu trip to Bali/Lembongan? December 2016 was definitely one of the highlights of the year, not just because I got to go overseas again, but because it was just so chock full of activity - places to go and people to see!

For those of you who know, I had a really long break at the end of 2016 (23rd Dec to 2 Jan to be exact), and my wanderlust was acting up majorly. What better way to end the year than a reflective, calming trip with self-introspection and a mean workout to boot? I decided on going to a yoga retreat on a friend's recommendation, because she said her experience with one had changed her life. I was so excited! I started researching yoga retreats and came upon these two websites that became instrumental in making a decision on where to go:
