Hohoho…. Merry Christmas to all!!! Have lotsa fun, pressies, candies and chocolates already? Well, Christmas is my all time favourite festive and I certainly have tons of fun this time round. However, I don’t really have the X’mas feel till early 20s of this month.
My first X’mas celebration was at 18th, with my childhood friends at Swensons. As usual, there’s a gift exchange. We are supposed to bring a pressie along and we will have a draw on who get whose pressie. I got Aifern’s pressie as shown below:
A Winnie the Pooh bath towel and a Forever Friends Organizer~
Seem like all of them love Winnie the Pooh as all brought pressies related to it. All except me.
The next celebration was at 22nd, held in my office. We had a buffet dinner with stuffed turkey and log cake, and lotsa junk food too. After makaning, we had our gift exchanges and lucky draw.
My office X’mas Tree with our exchange gift pressies.
This is what I got…
A Tupperware set! Weird? Well, office gift exchange is like that de…the gift has to suit all ages and all races so it’s usually home or electrical appliances. Actually, I like it cos it’s very useful and Tupperwares are not cheap stuff.
As for the lucky draw, it’s such a disappointment. I got a box of chocolate again!! T.T Last year also T.T The luckiest time was during my first year, when I got an mp3 player. After that, it’s all chocolate. > < The top prize is $500 cash loh…. Eikks. Why it’s not mine?!?!
The third celebration, which is my last for the year too, happened yesterday on the Christmas Eve. It’s held at YS’s house at Bukit Timah. There’s lotsa people at the party; YS’s Secondary Sch friends and our LW gang totally flooded his house. We were having a potluck and thus, there’s lotsa of food. I brought chicken wings, Cin brought pizzas, Seng brought egg tarts, Qi brought potato and seaweed salads, Huiqi and Sisi brought honey pork ribs and roasted beef, Xinxin and xiao qiqi brought chocolate fountain stuff, Gan bought 2 tubs of ice cream and Karen and Eric brought 2 log cakes. Wow…so much food rite? There’s more. YS’s friends brought spaghetti, lasagna, Sakae sushi party set, sausages and a birthday cake (if I remember correctly =x). Really eat till you drop XD.
Posing before everyone reaches.
While waiting for the party to start, we were playing with xiao qiqi in one of the bedrooms there. Then we decided to play heart attack instead. However we played one round only. Why??
I’m the first one who shouted “Heart Attack”. Instantly, 9 pairs of hands piled above my hand and it’s kinda pain. Think all of them very gan cheong =X Then my finger became like this..
A bruised finger =/
After that we took a lot of lame pics with Qiqi’s cam. Think she will post in her blog bah. Then it’s feasting time. Eat eat eat till we dropped then we went back to the bedroom and play again.
Our pressies
Xiao qiqi playing with our pressies
Xiao qiqi again. Xiao qiqi so cute loh. We were asking her Xiao Yang eat what? Then she scratched her head and asked “ Yang ci shen me? ” Then Gan said “Yang eat grass.” Then she said “Oh ya… Xiao Yang eat grass too!” lol~
My pressie with the person who carried my pressie all the way from home for me ^^/ . Actually my pressie is from PJ but she’s unable to turn up for the celebration thus she passed it to Cin. Keke.. Thank you PJ (aka Penguin) for your pressie, I like it very much!! When I drink water from it I will think of you de XD
Everyone with their pressies~~
After it’s time for desserts- cakes. 3 cakes -.-
Karen’s log cake. Mango de~
Eric’s log cake.
Cutie birthday cake~
After eating a slice of the birthday, I officially closed shop. Can’t eat any further. However when Xinxin fed me a fork of the mango log cake, I gladly accepted it =X Then that’s all for me. After that, there’s still ice-cream. They were having ice-cream with bailey.
Home sweet home @ 12++. Overall I had tons of fun. Thanks all ^-^

Finally got the mood and time to blog le. Thus just some updates for the past weeks...
Last weekend (9th & 10th)
Was shopping like dog for X'mas pressies. Went to Raffles City, Citylink, Marina Square and Suntec City on Saturday and in the end I managed to buy 1/2 a pressie =/ . 1/2 a pressie??? Well, the value of my pressie needs top up to hit the targeted budget, or at least close to the budget. Thus it totally doesn't do any justice to my freaking tiredness.
I bought this massager at Mini Toons. Cute anot?? Actually there are cuter ones but this one more powerful.
Went shopping again with Ah Baw on Sunday. This time went to West Mall and Causeway Point. Freaking tired also and worst of all, no pressie bought T.T
Monday (11th Dec)
Celebrated Ah Baw’s birthday. We went to a Fish n Co alike restaurant ‘Hooked’ at the Railway Mall. The food is pretty decent but the location is kinda ulu. I think only those who drive will frequent that place.
Aifern’s Otak Linguine. Very nice and the otak is not like the usual kind which has a strong fishy smell.
Ah Baw’s Salmon in creamy sauce. Look nice =X I didn’t try it cos I don’t really like salmon.
My Jumbo Snapper. Really jumbo size… eat till I sweat . Thus when I’m taking a break from eating, I’m poking and flipping my fish and someone saw it! The ‘witness’ came over and asked me “How’s the fish?? If it’s not fresh, I’ll change one for you. Cos I saw you flipping the fish.” I was like O.O . Like that also can. I think that witness is the boss of the restaurant wor… service quite good right?? Very observant…
Saturday (16th Dec)
Went X’mas shopping with Qi, Gan and Seng. Very happy…cos all my pressies gao dim. Kekekkeke….finally XD. Shopping for pressies really can kill sia. After we all gao dim our pressies, we went to a Movie Preview Lounge at Cineleisure 6th floor to relax. Gan recommended this place and she was saying it’s situated the 7th floor. However, there’s no 7th floor at Cineleisure. Strange uh? Anyway, the environment is really nice and cosy. Seng and I ordered a café Mocha and I think it has a salty taste. But the rest don’t think so =/.
After that, we were talking about whether we have watched more than 10 movies in the cinema throughout the year. Qi said that she watched less than 5 movies in the cinema throughout the year, Gan and Seng said they watched less than 10. Then I start counting. When I mentioned Brokeback Mountain, Seng said “ Brokeback Mountain is this year de ah? Then I watched more than 10 times this year..” He watched Brokeback Mountain in the cinema for 7 times -__-!! (or is it 8 times? =x)
I watched
1. Brokeback Mountain
2. Happy Feet
3. Final Destination 3
4. Daisy
5. The Lakehouse
6. The Banquet
7. Perhaps Love
8. The Memoirs of Geisha
9. Pirates of the Caribbean
10. Death Note 1
It’s really hard to recall. Maybe that’s about all….

Friday, December 01, 2006.
The entry is dedicated to my dearest Xinxin, and her dearest husband-to-be, Chester. Both of them will officially tie the knot forever, on this special day. I still can’t forget the shock I get when I got their invitation card. Days before I received their invitation card, Xinxin has asked for my address for her Christmas card. Finally I received that ‘Christmas card’ but it turn out to be their Wedding (or rather ROM?) Invitation Card. It was a beautiful Sunday morning and there I was, staring that the invitation card, deciding whether it is a prank anot. For those who knew Xinxin, you all knew she is capable of pulling such pranks. Xinxin is a mischievous girl.
“I must call someone!!!”, I thought. Thus, I called Cin but apparently she was still sleeping at that time so I called Qiqi instead. Thankfully she answered my call and Yes!! This is for real. Xinxin is getting married with Chester!!! While chatting with Qi on the phone, I sorta tear-ed. Not that I am sad or something. It’s more like tears of joys bah. I think it’s just like how a Dad and Mom cried when they see their children got married. I know I sound foolish but Xinxin being the first to get married among this bunch of friends really has a great significance to me. Being the first to embark to another new beginning of life, being the first to found her happiness with a guy whom she truly loved and wanna spend her life with….. Well, marriage is such a holy thing and it’s definitely a BIG thing in life. It’s not simple as it looks and it really takes efforts to make it work. Nevertheless, I’m sure they would overcome any obstacles that come along and live happily ever after. Hereby I wish both of them a bliss marriage and forever in love with each other. Cheers to their union~
Man…I soo happy for them T.T
Cin and my ROM gift to the couple~
The Couple~~~~
Looking forward to their solemnization at Amara Hotel later. Time to get ready XD
