Merry Christmas

Ho Ho Ho...  Merry Christmas!

Today I really spent the whole day out.  Went to my elder sister's house as my niece celebrating her birthday today.  Actual day is tomorrow.

Sneaked out to Westgate shopping mall to have a look.  I believe I will not travel all the way to west side just to visit Westgate.  Since it was still early, I went with my god niece and younger sis.  After orientation, conclusion is I still prefer the layout for JEM.  Only thing that attracted me in Westgate is the various choices of Japanese restaurants and also the Isetan supermarket.  There are nice stalls of Japanese food.

Played games with those children that led by my aunt.  We had fun and I really blurred.  I could not remember the card that I was holding in which it represented that I was the werewolf.  When all closed eyes and my aunt asking who was the 2nd werewolf, it took me so long to raise up my hand that it was me.  

2nd time blurred was when I was the witch.  No one should talk and all to close eyes but when my aunt asked "witch, please do some action to identify yourself", I asked "can I open my eyes!".  All the children, my aunt and sisters all laughing out loud.  I really CMI uh!  Hahaha

Overall, had a fun Christmas day.

Opened my pressies early this morning.  Really got an exercise kit from 小珠. Will use it as often as possible.  I think she knew I am lazy to go out to exercise.  Hee hee...

I also received another gift from her.  It is a neck and shoulder massager.  Maybe she heard me saying my neck stiff before.  Both are useful gifts.  Thank You!

  

Christmas eve

Today is Christmas eve.

Although no need to go to work today but I still have to work from home/mobile.  Still had enquiries received and worked on them.  No chance to fix any today.  :(

Went to NEX to buy gifts for my god nieces.  Managed to buy 2 bags for them.  Also bought a logcake home to celebrate Christmas eve.

As usual, spent my day at home most of the time.  This is how I spend my Christmas eve after year.  :P

Last minute shopping

My niece not coming today hence I decided to proceed with my plan to do my last minute shopping.  Decided to buy some gifts for our Finance colleagues.  They helping me a lot and its a small gift to share the joy of the festive.

Went out at around 2.30pm with my sister to Orchard and we back home at 5.30pm.  Fast right???  Hahaha...

We decided on what to buy and zoomed in.  Also bought some chocolates for the kids on 25th which my niece throwing her birthday party.

Haiz... I still have no chance to see the Christmas lighting along Orchard Road.  Really no time....

Xmas dinner

Totally busy and busy day today.  Nothing can described more than this word "busy".

We had our company's xmas dinner tonight at Bacchanalia @ Coleman Street.  Our colleagues really dressed up to meet the them "Oscars".  Few our us were so stressed and felt out of place.  Dared not go with them.  Hahaha.

In fact, we worked till very late and went there just in time for the food.  No time to mingle around.  I did not really have chance to slowly taste and digest the food.  I was busy on the phone with work and just swallowed every month.  The waiter even wanted to clear my plate with almost full piece of salmon.  

The food was good overall and it was an expensive meal.  Our company booked the whole restaurant tonight for this event.  Great work for my colleagues who spent time organising this event.  :)

Hit record

Today.... a day that I hit my record.  I managed to be back home by 7.10pm.  Left office timely by 6.10pm. Yippy!!!!

No mood to work today.  Still having holiday mood.  Believe I will be like dat until next year starts.  Let me laze a bit lah.  Hahaha.

Had lunch at Maxwell market and we decided to go there again tomorrow and on Friday if possible.  Its school holiday now hence lessor crowd there.  I ordered the fish soup.  Very tasty.  Shall eat again.

My colleague Ah Cheng supposed to be back for work today after 2 months rest.  However, she decided to take urgent one day leave and promised to report to work tomorrow.  We told her we will handover our work to her and we will go on leave.  Hee hee....

Back home and shall watch the 3 J dramas that have latest episode released.  All 3 dramas will end by these last epi.

So glad to be at home and I missed my bed.  I have a new toy cutie Usagi.

Received one more xmas present from Ah Xue.  I think she thinks that I am getting old.  Need to use mask for anti-aging.  Hahaha...

I also realised something.  小珠 presents are mostly bluish and mine are pinkish.  :P

Merry Christmas 2012

Merry Christmas !  Happy happy Xmas.

Today, it is a joyous day.  I refuse to let this day pass.  How I wish everyday is Christmas day.  :P

Attended my niece's birthday celebration in the afternoon.  I ate so much that my stomach was so bloated.  Finger food very sinful uh.  When you have nothing to do, your fingers just work.  Moving towards the food...  No wonder we called them finger food.

My niece requested for strawberry cake.  She really a strawberry lover.  Nice cake.

I opened all my Christmas presents and they are all useful stuff.  Now I know why 小珠 is so sure that I will never guess correct on what she gave me.  I really never seen before.  Its very useful as my hand tends to get  numb some time.  She must have heard me complaining before and found this item good for my health.  Thank you so much.  :)

The day passed so fast.  Tomorrow back to work again.

Nice day

Woke up at 10.45am and it was a breezy day.  Nice and cooling air blowing into my house.  Did housework and surfed net at home until 5pm.  Met up with the 2 girls for dinner.

Wow... the spread for the dinner buffet at The Melt was really good.  We ate until stomach very the full.  Chit chatting as usual and it was really a nice day for me.  Relaxing lei.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Was very full and the walk from Marina Square to Cityhall Mrt station was good.  On the way, saw this beautiful christmas tree.  Wow... Christamas is really coming soon. 

 

 

Christmas mood is here

This afternoon, went to see my skin doctor for a review.  My sis and I booked the appointment for 12.10pm but she was late due to a phone call from her church leader.  In the end, she had to cancel hers and re-book another day.

The doctor just came back from his holiday and today is his first day of work.  Hence, his appointments were very full.  I had waited for an hour for my turn.  Basically my reason of seeing him was to see if I need to change my skin care products and also to let him know I want to continue with my horis (not sure real spelling but its to remove my freckles) treatment.  In the end, I spents $1800 today.  $1250 for a package of 10 session treatment (Already cheap liao.  I paid $300 per session 3 years ago) but will be treated by another doctor.  Spent another $500 on products as there is a promo now that every $500 spending will have a cash rebate of $50 (but can only be used for the next product purchased).  Heart pain uh!!!

We went for lunch at Ion Food Republic food court.  All of us ordered the 秋莲板面 and we ordered some dim sum too.  After that, we went to Takashimaya shopping that it was a disaster.  I spent a lot on food uh.  There is Japan fair now and I bought jellies from Wakayama that costs $40 in total.  My mum bought 3 apples originated from Wakayama for $13.90.  My god!!!

I did not really regret buying because the jellies are so tempting and they are filled with whole piece of fruits.

Shopping malls are now decorated with Christmas decors.  Tonight will be the light up but we did not stay till that late.

We left Orchard at 5.00pm and went to Changi airport for dinner after meeting my dad at home.  He drove us there.  We had Fish & Co.  So sad that we were not given free sweets after we settled our bill. The waiter forgot and we too pai sei to ask for them.

Christmas is coming... I begin to look forward to this festive.  :)

Christmas Day 2011

Here it comes! 2011 Christmas Day!

Stayed indoor until evening. Helped my dad to shift furniture in our living room as he was painting the ceiling. While he was painting, I wrapped the Christmas presents for niece. We decided to wrap them into 12 separate packaging for her.

Left house to go to my boss house in the evening. We had fun there and left at about 10 plus. I was suppose to take the gift for my niece birthday from my colleague's car but in the end, forgot about it entirely. Guess it will be a belated gift for my niece. Will pass to my elder sister on Tuesday.

So fast that Christmas going to be over. Coming next will be New Year day. After this will be nothing to be looking forward. I hate beginning of the year. Another long year to go...

Christmas presents for 2011:

Before


After

So tired

Did not have a good sleep last night. Slept at 2am and every hour, woke up to monitor some issues related to work. Woke up at 3am, 4am, 5am and finally thought that could sleep, again being awaken by phone calls. This time round, no more sleep after that.

Was on the phone for my whole journey to office. So tired...

Had a round of customer visits this afternoon to give them cookies for X'mas. My colleague driving today hence took a lift from her so that I could bring home the magic cookers bought last Friday.

Left office early and reached home early. Felt so good as I had more time to relax.

Eyes are closing... better sleep early...

Christmas decorations from hamper.

Christmas coming

Today we received one hamper from our supplier and it is so nice. This makes our office more lively with the snowman with "snowing". Turned on the music and it really let us feel that Christmas is really coming soon.

Took a photo of it. Really cute and nice.

Walked and walked

This afternoon, I went to Orchard Ion with my sis and mum. We went for lunch and shopped at Tangs @ Scott. Shopped at the basement household department and I ended up buying a ceramic knife that I think it is useful. My mum bought one too and some other utensils.

Our lunch at Tonkatsu Ginza Bairin @ Ion Orchard




The knife was from Japan. Saw it at Franc Franc but did not really took a look that time. There was a promoter there and I tried cutting carrot using the knife. It was good. The promoter said that if uses this knife to cut fruits, it won't get oxidize so easily. However, it can only use to cut vegetables and fruits. Not for cutting meat.

We walked to Takashimaya and shopped for a while. Felt so tired after walking for long time and wanted to sit down for drinks. It was so difficult to find a proper place for a cup of drinks. Cedele was so crowded. Coffee bean cafe no longer there. Fountain near exhibition area all full of people. In the end, managed to find a table at Yoshinoya. I think Ngee Ann City needs more cafes.

Orchard lighting up was tonight. We managed to see the whole stretch of Orchard road lighted up with white and blue lightings. Very nice. Simple and nice. I like blue and white theme for Christmas. So fast uh... One more month to go and it's Christmas. Year 2011 going to an end soon.

Xmas lighting at Orchard:






Everywhere can see elephants. This one is a cute one.
