2016

31 December 2016 in DIARY, HONG KONG, SINGAPORE

We’re at that time of the year again, where we realise that another year has nearly reached its end! Where are you ringing in 2017? I’m sharing this blog post from sunny Singapore and wondering what 2017 has in store for me. With graduation coming in the new year, I expect another new chapter, and what that is, I’m looking forward to finding out. :)

2016 has been a great year for City Girl, City Stories and to everyone who’ve popped by this space or its social media channels, thank you. Thank you for reading, browsing, commenting, watching, liking and I hope you have enjoyed exploring with me! :)

To all the friends who have told me in person that you read and enjoyed the posts and photos, and for all the lovely compliments you give, thank you, they mean the world! :)

To all the brands who have reached out with invitations and information, thank you for thinking of me and considering my blog. I’m just one person, so although I am unable to accept or attend them all, I appreciate every invitation that reaches my inbox!

I thought about how I should conclude 2016 on this blog and I decided with going through my folders of photos and picking one or two from each month this year. All of these photos are phone camera snapshots and I think I haven’t shared most of them. They’re very casual and unedited, but I hope you enjoy this photo review of the year. Happy New Year’s Eve!

Running this personal lifestyle blog has been such a passion project. ⭐ 6 years in, this blog has journeyed with me from Hong Kong to Singapore, from university to working life. I'm still the same city girl exploring her city though, and I still have plenty of things to share. 😊

I've talked more on the blog (link in bio) with photo memories from the past 6 years. Check it out! 🤗
