It’s the season of joy, and I know we all love this season because it’s a time when we all unite together,
make the effort to get the gifts of people’s choice or from your own heart,
dress up in green and red Christmas theme, and when people say thanks giving,
take a step back and reflect on what the year has came to and appreciate what has happened.

I suppose that’s when we say to ourselves, a year has passed and how time flies.

As cliché as it might sound, one of the things all of us people know, I myself included,
but sometimes let it slip off the mind is that, for all its worth, we are alive- normal, healthy and kicking.

Many a time, these thoughts refresh my mind when I see old aunties/uncles who can barely move agilely,
still cleaning countless of tables at hawkers etc or when kids who have cleft lips or health problems even when he/she is just a baby.
Or knowing of kids who lost their parents since young or having autism..

With that in mind, why not let’s all take this chance and play your part in this “A Season of Giving” by Mastercard,
and I know that we all need to get gifts for friends, family & loved ones,
but why not get it via a good way instead?

“A Season of Giving” is a very special campaign because for this year,
Mastercard works hand in hand with Singapore Children’s s Society,
and will make a contribution to them for every single online transaction with international websites* you made during this campaign period.

(*International websites refer to those that bill in a currency other than Singapore dollars)

 
I am really glad to know of this campaign and be tasked to write on it,
because I do get guilty spending money at times- thinking that people are savings up cents by cents trying to get through life with basic necessities,
or needed the money to support the other family members etc.
Since we all need to get some gifts for a specific someone/event, we can join in Mastercard’s campaign and get the gifts!

Not just that,
but Mastercard will also play a part on “A Season of Giving” to YOU for spending a minimum of US$500 shopping online as a cardholder them for the stipulated period.
You can enjoy:

Let’s start our shopping for a good cause spree now in just a few simple steps:


1.    Register up to five Singapore-issued MasterCard cards for the 'A Season of Giving' promotion.
I understand that you might want to get more gifts and might max out the number of transactions with your first Mastercard

But fret not because you can register up to 5 Mastercard cards!

2.    Spend a minimum of US$500 or its equivalent on international websites* between 15th November and 31st December 2011.

Christmas is around the corner!
And I am sure many of us are looking forward to the month end for gatherings & gifts exchange,
or taking a stroll with your friends, partners or loved ones along the beautifully decorated Orchard Road glazing at the lights.

I had a lil stroll last week at Town, and am in love with these two trees above,
and the gold, pink&purple just make decorations splendid!
The latter makes it feel a lil Victorian Secret,
and I think that was what their inspirations were given that i spotted this wings below:

Trying to be a wannabe angel for that spilt seconds and snapped a shot! Geez.

This minimalist green dress from Pearlavish shows you that I am in a Christmas mood too! <3

Finally i tried Cold Stone Creamery!
It's always packed and it smells so good whenever i passed by it.

Ordered a "Strawberry Blonde"- strawberries, whipped cream, strawberry ice cream, graham crackers, caramel sauce.

Plain Waffle cup is an additional $1 each!

And i was back to town once again for the next day for a dinner,
all glamed up in Pealavish purple dress for the evening.

On a random note, here are some outfits of the week that you might like!

Got this rainbow dress from Chersamme which totally brightens up my day,
am always a great fan of preppy colours! <3
