Christmas

The joy of giving, loving and sharing :)

This year, the Christmas mood set in since the beginning of December. I bet every household who owns a christmas tree probably reused the tree from 2006.. :) Last Christmas, we got a surprise present from a couple. Baby got a singing santa, and I, a singing snowman. This Christmas, we remembered this lovely pair of singing duo and dug them out from our cupboards...AND...they still SING!! :)

SURPRISE~!! It is amazing how some things are only used ONCE a year! hahaha! and they STILL function a year later :) :) :)

So there they are... our singing darlingss... on the dashboard of a Christmas car :) and tts ninja turtle kiaped between them.. hohoho

Then, whilst shopping for my xmas gift for a gift xchange in the office last wednesday, I chanced upon this snowman sock (It's weird to use singular on this word..) and decided to buy it to make an even more Christmas-sy car :)

Then last thursday, we popped by Bishan to hunt for the Xmas hats for the headrest :) the search was a fruitful one.. but the pics are not in my phone.. *grunts*

With all the xmas mood set in... I suddenly had this craving for turkey and hence suggested to have an xmas gathering at 5yi's place...but with a sudden change of plans..the venue has been changed to my place...so the whole day today was practically spent on cleaning, decor, clearing rubbish, thinking of the food etc etc

here's what happened in the day :) twined the lights around the xmas tree and added the butterfly on top :)

A glimpse of the glittering tree in the evening...

Decided to bake something for the collics :) bot some blueberry whilst supermarketing this afternoon for tues gathering... first time using blueberry and the results were qt cute! the berries BURST! :)

Bought some santa claus from Phoon Huat earlier on and took them out for a shot. They are meant for the cake on tues :) heezz.. my santa BAND..hohoho

Lastly... to make everything presentable... little trees planted on top of the muffins :)

on a side note...while tanning at Sentosa... EVERYONE whom we saw on the beach owns a DOG!!!!!!! I also wan a doggie too :(

*all i want for xmas is a doggie*and mayb a PURPLE/RED handphone*and mayb a COACH bag*and a DVD player*and and...:p *

Baby brot me HP shopping yday to replace my lousy pok hp which gives me lousy reception 80% of the time and of which i have complained 70% of the time whenever i was on the phone with him. but yet again, when i was brot HP shopping, i was abit reluctant to part with the pok phone..and cldn settle on any other phones cos not all M1 shops carry the color tt i wan... so i was given a good tongue lashing.. o_O

oh wells...I have feelings with my phone you know??

THE DAY

MY blissful day :)


had a long lunchie with one of my last mates in DT last wednesday. To count exactly, my 2nd last. Now I m left with my last mate because the 2nd last had left.


As this 2nd last mate of mine has a fairly small appetite and doesn realli go to lunch, we settled for a sandwich cafe for our meal. To giv u an idea of what is a fairly small appetite, imagine a bowl of tang yuen for lunch. Anw, we settled for this 'high class' sandwich place where sandwiches cost S$3.70 and drinks cost S$5.00. But they did the drinks pretty well. See my STARRY hot choco? ;P

So, that was one of the few lunches I had with this mate.. we bonded cos we were both in the same state of mind recently :)


This mate left last fri.. the day of our DND...
I still remember on very 1st DND, we had excess to fill up >1 table of 10 and had to split up a little. On the 2nd DND, some had left and we had enough to fill up 1 table. Last week's DND, we only managed to fill up 5 of the seats and half of this 5 were resignees :)

@ our table with the clap clasps. The colors match my bangles (which i bot from my 1st trip witht he clique tgt) but I was stil short of 1 orange bangle... so i found this girl who was wearing the exact same bangle in ORANGE!

My pretty A11 with the orange bangle :)

tts the only 2 pic i took with my cameo... :) the rest r all over the places >:)

the race

last year, when he did it, i was in slumberland...

this year, i was at the road side, as one of the supporters

next year, i m gona be part of the race! (haha!)

baby did it!
and the timing was good too..
so proud of my little boy :)

24 November 2007

It was a day that many of us had looked forward to.. a day that saw the first bride in our clique of jiemeiss :)

we planned and chat and excite over our emailss for weeks. we had a hen's party at MOS, met up to do a beautiful scrap book and discussed the morning game plan, and bought our new dresses for the morning and night...and there it came! the sweet and blissful day :)

the girls woke up at 6 AM in the morning...and were stayed awake till late that night.. heres some sweet pics of that blissful day...

Pestsss

i dun understand why they muz be around!

EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE!!

this also happens when ur colleague picks up the call at > 530pm ONE day last tues for u and told tt person u r not ard. and tt person specially POPPED in JUST TO CHECK tt u r NOT around.

thereafter u received a call after office hours (*apparently urgent*) to be told tt u hav to prepare a report for a client meeting on last sat. BUT apparently the meeting din materialise. cos u received a call LATE LAST night at near 10pm, asking u hw u derived at some figures in tt report. B-T-H

FIRST - dun do boliao things in the day and end up burning hours late into the nite (n hence look v busy) ie verifying tt i realli WAN NOT around!!
SECOND - dun try to sound URGENT if it is apparently NOT URGENT AT ALL
THIRD - u disrupted my wednesday trying to spare some 3 hrs doin up tt report for u, when i cld hav done better things
FOURTH - u dun call ur staff ONE WEEK LATER, at 10PM at NIGHT to ask about the report since it has already proven NOT to be URGENT.


and i can blog more and more such mishaps i ve encountered..



i can see more ahead...

and today, just as i was sitting face to face with her, i realise, tt finance-related anything makes ppl boring n look plain jane.

just a thot..

till e next episode of complainsss, i shall now be good n go do my wrk. so tt i can spare some time in the morn for another attention seeking personnel back in office, b4 i can travel far west to finish up my wrk.

e problem of audit - u serve tooooo many ppl @ a same time and ALL cant wait.. :(

Happy Birthday~!

Weekend Catch up

Met up with the girls for a cuppa hot chocolate and some cakes @ Bakerzin after dinner at White Dog.

When the drinks first came, D n I went "OooooOooH..." and "Whaaaaaaa" cos of the thickness and creaminess of the hot chocolate and the overdose of marshmellows...

When we began to taste the drink, D n I went "Ewwwwwww...." and "Eeeeeeee" cos it was sooooo think and bitter, it din taste the least like hot chocolate at all... so the best part of the drink was realli only the marshmellows..

its nice to meet the girls up for some chats sometimes :) we ve been missing out on everybody's lives..

So everything ended n i zzz @ 2am on sat night and woke up to 530am on a sun morning for the GE run! :)

weather was great.

we had promised to make appearance no matter rain or shine.

so i woke up to the drizzle n put on the jog gear...heart thumping alr! *haha*

the run was good. all the flowery smelling ladies whizzing pass each other...unlike the aroma we d experience in other runs..^_^

the day felt accomplished with the race :)

but i ve been nua-ing at home till now -_-

cant wait for the results!! :)

i think we did well girls! :)

Peel Fresh Ice Blend

One random night. Something inspired him to wana drink orange blend. So we went to buy some peel fresh home n had a blend :) Thereafter, there were ribena blends made to quench the thirst. Theb lender has served its purpose well :)

Boosters

Honey peanuts air flown by the one who went to Japan. And white choco balls from Japan (bot frm Watson's tho) :)
Boosters on the cramp wrk space :)

Chinchilas

Visit to one of N's waver fren's shop along the upp srgn road to catch some cutie pies :) *i like* Doesn the brown-grey one resemble a sheep? the owner affectionately calls it xiao mian yang :) see how the white one is sleeping - paw on the window glass :) :) arent they C-U-T-E??!!
thereafter it was off to MOS for a girls' night out XOXO

Cookery

I think it was last sat (6 Oct) that i decided to make some toufu pi. Inspired by the sweetie's crave for toufu pi, a yummy try of the Geylang's toufu pi one fine night and the toufu pi skin that was sitting around in my kitchen :) I decided to let someone eat my toufu! :)
so there goes...I was in the kitchen marinating, chopping, wrapping....and i forgot to take pics of the final products!!

Joggo-day (9 Oct)

We decided to hit the road. This time round, Pierce Reservoir. After being brot there to enjoy the scenic surrounding once, I caught sight peaple prawn fishing among the rocks by the seabed. Inspired, i ve been bugging baby to bring me there since to catch some prawns ;p but he was inspired to bring me there for something ELSE. JOGGING!!! I tell you... the slopes there are a killer! We went up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down....after neverending upslopes and downslopes, catching sight of 2 monkeys having sex (this part is digression. bt i found it funny :). No details for you tho...cos i was panting along the slope already and i was afraid that I might not outrun the monkey if they decided to giv chase to the intruding audience!), i only hit a joggometer of 3.6km????

The GE run is nex Sun! *omg*faints*

(13 Oct, Sat)(City Square,JB)(Mong Kok Cha Chan Teng)
On a really impromptu decision to hit the causeway. *Jess, u shd have been there! look at wat u missed!*
Food variety was fabulous and everything that everybody else were eating looked great! The assortment of ice blends we saw on other patrons' tables was wow-aful and almost blew my breath away~!!
We decided not to be greedy and settled for ONE main course, a few snacks and, of cos, a drink! The food in top down sequence:
Baked rice, melted cheese topping, toufu pi, star prince (xing xing wang zi) which is made of mash potato wrapped in fried bread, chocolate lava.
HIGHLY recommend: xing xing wang zi :) :) they even have a nice decor along the side of the plate :)
LOWLY recommend: Chocolate lava. Altho it looks nice, but it is made of cheap choco which is not up to our taste -_-

Quickie

new toy introduced to the kitchen on 25 Sep :)) multi-purposes i have in mind include fruitti smoothies, thick and creamy milkshakes, the choco drink recipes in the choco temptation bake book. this cool blender even has LED lights when its charged!
