Butterfly Project Christmas Party @ Sekeping Sin Chew Kee

On the 21st of December, the Butterfly Project held a potluck Christmas party at Sekeping Sin Chew Kee which is located near Swiss Garden Hotel. Luckily I had waze to guide me through the area as I have only been nearby once. Unforfunately, it was raining heavily that evening so I did not take many outdoor shots as I've hope as the place is really nice. From the outside, you won't notice that it is actually a retreat place until you look closely at the signboard. 

The Butterfly team had also put in effort to decorate the place nicely and make it cosy and feeling festive for the Christmas party. Placed under the tree are Christmas gifts for us attendees! The products inside are from Bisou Bon Bon which is lovely :D

It was nice to sit outside during the light rain as it is very cooling, until you start getting attacked by mosquitos...then it's time to head inside xD

Since it's potluck style, many of us bloggers brought food! Imagine the amount of food brought over as there was more than 40 people who attended the event. We had so much food ranging from appetizers, side dishes, salads, mains and desserts! We were spoilt with all the choices of food and until the end of event there was still leftovers.

Turkey!

Sushi platter :D

123 Cheese photobooth was also there for the night for us bloggers to take memorable photos :D Everyone had fun taking pictures and making use of the props.

It was a great night catching up with old friends and meeting new ones as I have been quite inactive for a while. Nice to meet new bloggers :D

Before I forget, we had a gift exchange session during the party and I received Too Faced Jingle All The Way Palette from Shivani which is absolutely gorgeous! This is a unique palette as it is a pop-out palette with an iPhone 5 casing. How I wish I own a iPhone 5 now because the cover is just too pretty. I can't wait to try out the makeup palette too :D

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
