i just got back from toronto on jan 2 and basically. to sum up this holiday... i spent and shopped ALOT. mummy please dont kill me x(
i spent new year at the Marriot hotel - 1 bedroom suite with my friends. the most lavished hotel ive ever stayed with friends, 2 LCD tvs!!!! but generally the hotels we stayed during the trip were all so good that we forgot to take pictures -.-
anwww. yeahhh i gotta start getting used to writing 2009 instead of 8!!!
while at toronto, we went to niagara falls for 3 days, with one aim in mind - SHOP.
we went across the borders to USA! and even better was, we went to a huge factory outlet mall - they have brands such as Juicy Couture, Coach, Guess, Espirit, Calvin Klein, Burberry etc.. that kinda explained where half of my expenses went to.. hmm.
I GOT A JUICY COUTURE SIDEKICCCCCCCCK!!!
and a sudden change of topic.. here's some photos we took at niagara falls!
and before the trip to niagara... Solin hall spent christmas together =))
before xmas we were busy running around to get gifts for one another, and the girls (me, nicole and her sis, denise) were also busy cooking up dishes!!! luckily we were getting good at cooking, cos on xmas day itself, it was snowing and most of the restaurants were closed! we had to cook the 3 meals~
