25.12.07 Tuesday... Merry Christmas to You!
In another week's time, it'll be year 2008! How distant it seems when I was just entering university in year 2004... time is flying by so quickly!
On the 23rd, my family had a little festive dinner at home! All thanks to da-jie for her effort in preparing most of those delicious foods and subsequent help from mum and er-jie in setting up the whole dinner for all of us ;D
The little boy is as usual so cute with all his little actions and also a widen vocabularies he has picked up from daily conversations. It is a sheer amazement to know how much he loves food...
Despite being just 17mths old, he was so smart to sneak behind the towering fridge door for the yummy mango pudding. We were all amused that he was using his tiny fingers to swap against the pudding and continues to lick his fingers to taste the sweetness of the dessert.
But the most hilarious part comes when he did it at least for another 10 times after being caught in the act! Babies are just so innocent :P
Just some pictures to share...
The there comes the eve of Xmas where I had 2 celebrations, one in the office and another one with my groups of secondary school friends :)
Apparently, this is the first time where the staff at our level got together to celebrate this festive season and so we decided to throw a mini part for all. My dear assistant, Anne, bought a 2kg Xmas Truffle cake from this online bakery call
Creative and it looks really pretty and big.
As usual, the clinic was running like a madhouse on the morning of eve and we only closed the clinic at 1pm. Nonetheless, we continued with a short makan celebration where we pop sparkling juice and cut the huge cake, sitting down together for lunch.
It was virtually impossible for all of us to have lunch together on normal days, even for Anne and myself since we have to keep the clinic running between sessions. So, it was a good get together lunch and the food was really good!
(missing in picture... fried mee siam & bundles of chocolates!)
The Truffle cake is seriously very very very very rich and yummy!! In between layers of the sponge cake, the spread was made of at least 99% dark chocolate + 1 % cream! So sinfully rich and good! *satisfying*
Then... BB who ended work at 12.30pm came around to pick me from office and he got to meet Lawrance, Anne's husband and they had a good little men's chat while Anne and I hurried pack up all the barang, tied up loose ends of our work before finally leaving office at 2.30pm.
Actually, I really enjoy working with Anne as it's really fun to be around with her;D She always does the most ah-lian and most un-glam stuff during work and she takes care of me like her little sister. Lucky me!
My immediate supervisor is really sweet too. He bought each of us a nice camera pouch and for my gift exchange, I received a cute pooh bear ferris wheel and a mini display lamp. The ferris wheel is really pretty and it has an in-build musical box which plays when the wheel is turned in the clockwise direction.
Despite a long weekend we had, BB has been going to many place and fetching me here there... He's my greatest x'mas gift so we decided not to exchange gift this Christmas! hah ;D
Ribboned BB w/our Donkey & Turtle (taken w/o his knowledge)
In the evening, we took a nice and less crowded MRT ride to Orchard Hereen to meet all my friends @ NYDC restaurant for a little Christmas dinner. It's been quite a long time since we all met but we had a great time given that we have been really old friends and we feel comfortable around one another.
Cooling Chocolate Mocha...

BB's German Pizza w/ lostsa CHEEZE!

Dinner was long 2 hrs session of chit-chatting and LingWei was really sweet to gave BB & I a pair of toy buns in sweet pink & white while the rest gotten hand phone charms *kawaii!*
And today... it was a spring clean in my room in preparation of 3rd sis wedding this Sunday. Mum was coaxing me in tidy my barangs since sis had shifted most of her things from the room to her new place. So there goes my little Christmas day packing and shoving away all those unwanted things.
To my amazement!

My shared piggy bank with BB now stands @ a grand $200 worth of 1 dollar gold coins! *happy*
Arggghh...That's my day, need to go iron clothes for the next 3days of work...:( Talk to you again real soon!
