MERRY X'MAS 2006

It's a really Great X'mas this year, especially with all the Yummy pressies that I've received/exchanged since last Thursday! And of coz, the wonderful bunch of buddies I've got and superly declicious food which is making me putting on the extra pounds once again! Arrgg! Think I can never go back to slim slim again! *pouts*

Anyway, I shall first start with my Company's celebration on Thursday. It was pretty fun, especially since I'm the organiser! So I had all the evil thoughts in my mind to sabo all my colleagues, even my ED and GM were not spared either! *evils laughter* But it wasn't easy to think of games. Luckily I roped in my sis and also the R&D gals to help! We had pretty good food as well, and I got a thermal flask (which I had wanted to get for quite some time) for my company's gift exchange. Ben, one of my colleagues bought me a Hello-Kitty Muscical Box with Biscuits. It's Damn Cute ok!

Usually for the last 2 weeks of December, everyone is already in their festive mood. Same for me as well. And I even took leave on Friday just so that I still can have my last min X'mas shopping and to have an even longer weekend! So Friday was spent on nuahing at home in the morning until noon time, I met up with someone for Dim-Sum @ Red Star aka Hong Xing Restuarant. This place serves really x3 yummy Dim-Sum and the whole set-up of the place is damn retro ok! For those who have not heard of this place, it's located in Chin Swee Road. I think it's one of the last few places serving such yummy Dim-Sum, somemore in the tradition push-carts serving all the Ha-Gaos and Siew-Mais! Best of all, they have a lot of different variety of Dim-Sum which I'm sure other places will not be able to offer. Anyway, this someone is really sweet to actually take leave that day just to accompany me when he found out that I'm on leave that day. It was a surprise as this someone is usually quite a workcoholic. Aweeee! Sweet!....Anyway, before I can digest all my Dim-Sum, I met up with the gals and Mat for dinner @ Aji-Teh, Taka Basement 1. The food is pretty yummy, especially the potatoe with cheese and....erm...salmon? Thanks to Clara for the treat as it was her birthday the very next day. We roamed around Taka for some last min shopping and it was really quite packed. Since it will be Clara's birthday in a few hours time, I decided to give her and my other 2 buddies a little surprise by 'kidnapping' them to a remote part of Singapore, Marina South...the new Pier. That's where we 'count-down' to her Birthday. For those who have not been there, please go! It's really a very nice place especially at night. Prolly not much people have been there, so it's still quite peaceful. The only thing is that the rooftop garden closes at 12 midnight, so it's kinda pity lah even though there's a small chill-out pub there. Very cool place! After being chased by the security guard, we headed down to Pasir Panjang Food Centre as we were all craving for BBQ stingray, Sotong, Lala.....*drools* But Shit! when we got there, the whole place was closed already! Damn it. I wonder is it because of the construction sites that it affected the business there, so they decided to close early. Haiz....what a disappointment. The nearest will be the West Coast McD so off we went. Chatted till around 2+ before sending them back and I really concussed till the very next day!

Saturday was the party at my place so I had to go buy some last min groceries and pick up Clara's Birthday Cake from Swensens. I still have to buy some last min X'mas pressie for my colleague's son! Guess I'm really quite a good multi-tasker, running here and there doing all the errands! Well trained by my current job! Party was fun. The Pix tells everything I guess.

They stayed till around 2am+ until I think everyone seemed to be concussing soon, so all headed back home, especially when the poor Clara is sick! Yes, it was her birthday and X'mas is just the very next day, the poor gal spent her entire X'mas eve sleeping and resting at home. Oh ya! talking about the yummy pressies I've got....here it is:

OMG!!! PEKO & POKO in KIMONO!! SOOOOOOO KAWAII I tell you!! It's from my darling sister. Erm, ok...Poko's 'skirt' seemed to be dropping off....think he has gone thinner while staying under the X'mas tree for almost....1 month? Anyway, will wait for my sis to be back from Jap and see how we can fix it, coz I also duno how his clothes works....is he supposed to tuck in or what. Muahahaha

Mango demine skirt from lovely Clara....

A Baby-G, which is really very "ME"....

A Mizuno Windbreaker, which coincidentally have the same colour combi as the Baby-G i.e. White & Pink and a mouse from Samsung...Very Cool indeed!

A Hello-Kitty Table Calender/Note Holder which I really really like, courtesy of Shan-Mei; a piggy mouse handwrist and giant robotic massager from Nanny Mathew; a little piggy mobile strap which I decided to hang it on my digi-cam instead from Clara's sister, Qiuyu and lastly, a Garfield Thermal Flask which I got for gift exchange lucky dip at home. And that pressie happens to be bought by Mathew's sis, Eileen. Very cute hor!

And finally, a party/function bag (which I feel that it is) from Guess, coutesy of my sis-in-law! Hmm, seems like I gota increase my budget in getting X'mas gifts for everyone next year, otherwise it makes me feel so bad! Thanks to everyone for all the lovely gifts! Hoped that you guys like yours as well! Lastly, here's wishing everyone a Merry Merry X'mas and a Happy 2007!
