popped in to my favourite bookshop, Page one. Loved it here and i started browsing and it hit me to just get the vouchers here for my tcher who loves books! i got her a pair of guess earrings too! headed home after a visit to Fengshui shop.


Sat dec 15th : xmas party 10 days before 25th! its was soooo last minute cos uncle's family will be away and wot be able to join us at the east coast chalet. so last minute potluck! and i indicated the dishes for each family! didnt load fotos cos haven got time to load from the otehr camera! will do so cos arthur my cousin cooked for the whole family, his first time! a huge portion of spag and he wasnt used to it cos usually his max is 4-5 pax! loved the pesto sauce! had so much food! everyone loved the oxtail soup, its was my favourite before...


but i x have it anymore. painful! Lucas was so cute and so glad he loved the shark we got for him! for the gals i got them same but different colour bags, necklace and headbands!



we played secret friend this year. 1st time we had a total change to our xmas gift exchange at home. I tot its quieter and a nicer game to play as a family. i was thinking of my grandfather and wished he was still around, missed his smile. aunt k like this gift-exchange cos its a warmer feel and we all have to think and make an effort to get the gift. had a good time and oso definitely a good laugh with my BIG family!!! LOVE my family, mushy but true. the gifts each of us got was an effort and i enjoyed it! i got a necklace as i wrote accessories. it jus came on time! cos i will be wearing to Koh Samui on Jan4th, its something that i dun have! i usually buy long necklaces and beads, my aunt got me something thats made from seashell and thanks to my aunt who got good taste!


Fri dec 14th : got our 1st xmas gift! from his army collegue who is very kind to him at work and nice to chat with! she always pass me mags when she's done and not past issue its like 1st -2nd week of the month i get the mags! jus today i gave her 4little cupcakes and a fengshui book for xmas... hope she likes them.

we headed out to meet dap at esprit cos i told her about gerald's favourite berms being ripped during the wash in the machine... his favourite thus least worn but the 1st to ripped. i gave that to him as a present! dap was able to help us out and my dear hubby paid for 2 gold tops and a 3qurt pants. SWEET! he himself got only a berm and he was lucky cos hardly any berms for winter fashion seasons...


as dap went for her appointment, me and Gx parted too to find our secret friend gift! we both obeyed the rules that i set with his help! not to tell who your secret fren is. he went taka and i went paragon! first i gota help mum with hers. She didnt break the rules! she jus tell me buy cd... i was like HUH what kind of music so she decided and i chose from instrumental range! she refuse to tell me who, told her i wot say and will get the rite kinda disc but she refused! yet she was so cheeky at times that she try to trick me say who i am buying for!


in the end it was like a triangle... i buy for aunt k and in turn she got my mum as secret fren! at this point when i am writing this the game is over! it was fun then as i made everybody open their gift one at a time and they were supposed to guess who bot the gift.


glad we managed to buy something for our secret fren and i was starving!!! headed to crystal jade XLB. it was LOOOOONG Q~ no way cos i was STARVING! then gerald was like lex go to the other... i was like shocked... cos the other one is the poshed CJ and i was like in normal working school clothes.... i like to dress up to go certain places.... he jus head in and we got a table... as there is only 2 of us its always hard to order food esp here cos its serving is huge and here its more ex... but gx revealed he got bonus and was giving me atreat...

I was feeling sick from the shopping very exhausted and feeling a flu coming thus nose blocked... i felt that it was a waste to be eating at a goof restaurant... drowned cups of hot tea and thank goodness i still could taste the food well! YUMMY! but couldnt really smell... but better then losing both senses! i knew i wanted the WONGKAM prawns, salted egg fried prawns! these were yummy! got the captain to recommend and she told us they had nice big scallops! supposed to have one each but it turn out they left jus one! so she ordered a bamboo clam for us. i like the bamboo clam better! but the scallop was huge and not bad.

this is the crazy part... we both eyed the lotus seafood steamed glutinous rice... we tried to change to other dishes after the lady captain told us ... its really big and its meant for 4-5 people... and more over she didnt say but i know that glutinous rice is very filling... but we still went ahead!

its crazy when i came! its HUGE!!!! gx was the 3 pax and i was 1pax! cos for this dish i taste seafood sweetness and nice texture but was pretty bland to me in comparison to the other 3 dishes. Gx say cos i x smell... its got very nice fragrance... sad... but he enjoyed it so much! it got prawns, dried scallops and lots of goodies in it!

Yes we are very full but i never end without desserts! got the mango pomelo sago dessert but was ok only, loved the stewed pear dessert. it was cold and soothing for my sore thoart! love this clear not too sweet soup. why is there no pics of me? cos gx used his new camera hp to take me and has yet to try downloading into lap yet. we never tried to take pic with the prob tallest indoor xmas tree in spore. so we tried to get a shot cos we walked passed it and wasnt crowded but jus seems like lots of lites.


think this was on a sunday... if not a sat : met up with dap to see hp at m1 cos gx wanted to get a hp. dun remember why we met up... failing memory but i remember after gx finally got his hp we went to project shop cafe. 1st time there and we ordered 2 desserts. they were huge serving and not bad but was glad it was 3 people sharing it!

i am updating following the order of the pic i took... in between i fell ill had 2 days of mc and till now better but yet to be fully recovered! i need to recover soon to enjoy bbq tomolo and upcoming hols in Koh Samui with 2 other couples!
