Goodnight Ocean Dreamers | Singtel Rewards

Hello Ocean Dreamers! 

OKAY HAHAHA. Luck is never on my side when it comes to lucky draws. 
hahaha. 

But hahaha!! Things changed okay!!! :)  I was on Singtel's app that day, checking my usage and decided to click on the REWARDS button. "Sleepover at S.E.A Aquarium" was the first that caught my attention. HAHA! 
So i just keyed in my number and i was entitled for the draw just like that. 

Next few weeks, some unknown number called me and I decided not to answer!! HAHAHA called me again in the afternoon, and I'm thankful that I did answer this time round! 

Stanley and I was sent for this magical sleep over!!!! :) 


Ocean Dreams!!!! 


I love events with landyards. (PLUS POINTS HAHAHA) 




Got free shark toy somemore :) 




Here for the first time!!!! :) EXCITED 


 Goodie bag! HAHAHA 
The bag came in really useful though!! :) 
(Good for putting my clothes when I went for a shower..
Used this for the tours as well, it would be crazy if i carried my entire bag! HAHA) 




Dinner at Adventure Cove! HAHA! Didn't know that they are linked! 



4D typhoon show! It was surprisingly good!!! 


Pre-show


We only started visiting the Aquarium at night! :) We had the whole place to ourselves!!! :) 





Hello Mr. Upside Down 



I really don't like seeing the holes on its body.. Freaks me out 


Our view for the night!!!! :) 
Our group managed to get the middle section of the first tier!! 
Amazing.. 


Sleeping mats, Yoga mats, Towels and Blankets were provided! :) 


Fooling around when I was on my "Bed"

Sleeping infront of this big tank was one of the best experience I ever had!!! :) 

Couldn't bear to fall asleep... 


Result of not wanting to fall asleep. 
Morning call was at 7.15am :( 


Greeted by this cute dolphin in the morning! :) 


Greeted by divers as well :) 



Before the whole tour ended, we had breakfast and we even had the chance to visit the back of the house! We actually saw how the fishes are fed and it was really an eye-opening experience! :) 

Love this short camp! :) It was a really memorable experience, falling asleep infront of a huge tank with thousands of fishes was really a privilege. 

Thank you Singtel for making my first trip to S.E.A Aquarium such an extraordinary one. 


Till then, Ocean Dreamers

Lee Tradition: Cheongsams for Chinese New Year

除夕 (The day before Chinese New Year)


Our night was spent serving customers in mum's shop. We had mainly three big groups in the shop that day and business was crazy!! ( HUAT AHHHHH ) :) 

Despite the busyness, we're really delighted that families chose to have their reunion dinner over at Home Of Joy! :) 


初一


Woke up with Ang Bao under my pillow :) 
压岁钱 (Ya Sui Qian) 

Since young, Mum will always put an angbao under our pillows the night before new year day. 
Some say that it's to bring luck, shun away evil spirits in hope that their children will pass the year and grow up safely while others say that it's to stop children from growing older. (why wanna stop them from growing up?!? ) 

Well there are a number of sayings to this...

Whatever the true meaning is.. got angbao can already right?! hahaha kidding la I always try to be someone who keeps tradition okay.. try la!!



Before changing into my Cheongsam!!!!! :) 


TADAAAAAA!! :) 

Glad that we made our cheongsam earlier this year! :) 
We rushed like mad the last few years!!




(Featuring Cheongsams here?!?!)  


Mandatory Chinese New Year Family Portrait :) 

Really in love with our cheongsam designs this year



Day one was just visitings and more visitings which i'm thankful about!

初二


Off to Stanley's house to 拜年 (bai nian)
We would usually wear our previous years cheongsams on the second day of Chinese New Year onwards

Pardon my puffy eyes! HAHAHAHA 

The design for this cheongsam is amazing, really love how it has button details all the way to the bottom.

初三 (Chu San)


Off to Uncle Alan's house (Dad's Friend) 

Their annual gatherings were usually held at our place on the third day of every New Year. 
But since things happened, they haven't been meeting up and i'm really glad we're starting to meet again this year! But at a different location now!! :) 
ahhhh so happy!!! :):) 






Featuring more cheongsams!!! :) 


Chinese New Year visiting more or less came to an end for my family this year. 
Our family isn't really big huh hahaha :) 

Really love how we met up with people, caught up and most importantly, had a good time!! :)
