Another Christmas Goes By

Posted on Thursday, January 12, 2017

I love Christmas parties at Jo's cause this girl always goes all out on decor and food is usually super festive, enough to get you in a real warm and fuzzy mood.


HELLO SAID HOST. 

Justin and I show up early to cook at her place (since his stove wasn't working) 
+ help out around with the party prep!


The matcha lava cake was SO GOOD I may have eaten a bit more than my fair share, keke


Is it bad that I think the raw chicken already looks delicious. I think the anticipation of the final product is enough to make me drool!


Being silly in between, and check out Jo's evil secret santa gift, haha. She refused to let anyone touch it all night until we played the actual game! (Also my dress is from Grana - quote MONICAxGRANA to get 10% off + Free Worldwide shipping till 31 Jan 2017!!)



Mok's "Mok-tail", lolol.


Food's finally done and the last few guests trickle in.... and it's time to feast! I think we portioned very well this year,  if I do say so myself :D


And there goes another Christmas! It's weird to wait for something the whole year, then it's just gone in a flash and here we are waiting for CNY. Every year I ask myself what Christmas means to me, especially not being religious, but I guess it's just an opportunity to gather with old and new friends, and give one last cheer to the end of the year before we get back to our busy lives, which is... now.

Christmas 2014

Posted on Thursday, December 25, 2014

Christmas at JoLo's! The photos are quite shittyz cause I seriously have no time this month to edit them properly. Sorry!!


We are greeted with the awesome perfumed smells of Christmas and low ambient light. The star of the show is of course the dinner set up by Jo who spent an hour on laying the table out - but it looks amazing??? Well worth the time!

And then it's prep time for the food!


Party prep team!


The table starts to slowly fill up!


Someone's getting hungry...


Finally settling around the table to FEAST!

Weirdly this is a rare one of our gatherings that we don't have tons leftover food :O


And after dinner, we get a surprise visit from Santa!!!



Haha i don't know why we were all laughing so hard. We have our Secret Santa gift exchange in which many dubious selections were handed out like Linette's G-String to Jo, and a sad loofa that ended up getting passed around a lot in favour of snatching another person's present!


Merry Christmas everyone! It's hard to believe it's been another year already, but a good one too.

How did you spend your Christmas?

Will the Festive Season Never End?

Posted on Wednesday, December 17, 2014


This week has been insanely busy but fulfilling at the same time. After one year of running The Ordinary Co, I feel like the business has finally made another leap of progress the past weekend. Hoorah for Christmas! Also, after much procrastination, I finally found the time to write my Christmas cards this year - a habit I almost forgot I had. I still find a lot of joy in writing with a pen rather than typing - forming little blocks of letters as fast as I can but still making them all align. I wish I bought more cards because there's so many people to thank for making me who I am today but you only have so much time and space in your heart to store it all, you know?
