What A Day!
Some days I like it planned, some days I like it random. I like to pre-plan day trips to meet friends or even when I shop, somehow I feel better when I am in control to go where and get what. But being random sometimes is good, because I/we go to places undiscovered. A person becomes boring when their lives get too structured. Although, my retail therapy (with stan) can never go as planned, but I love it. So yeah, the plan for yesterday was to watch the Fockers, use his DSLR to take crazy shots, and have cod fish. But we had to bring Stubby to the vet for a checkup and get him vaccinated. I'm so happy that his coat is growing back well, and within a short period of two weeks, he had gained twice his weight when we first got him. Anyway, J and I left for Cathay only at about 6pm, and by the time we got to the ticketing counter, we were only able to catch the 7.30pm show.Boo, and the japanese restaurant would have close after the movie ended. Also, it was extremely annoying to not have a cashcard top up at the carpark, and we had to go down to the ATM machine (All in my frigging 10.5cm heels). Haha, I'm such a whiner. So, we drove all the way back to Holland V to have some crab been hoon and thought that the shop was no longer there. We wanted to head back to Jurong to have ban mian, as our last resort. It was sheer dumb luck that when we turned out from the junction, we saw the XO crab bee hoon!
At first, I thought J was raving too much about it, and I shrugged. BUT IT WAS SO DAMN GOOD THAT I ATE SO MUCHHH! Usually i don't eat past 8pm, but the crab soup was heavenly, so much so they tasted like God's tears. Hmm, ok I just made that up cause if God is awesome, His tears has to be awesome too, and no other phrase could summed up how fantastic that bowl of bee hoon was. A pity I did not take a picture of it, but I think I'll be having it again on Sunday.
Anyway, J and I met up with Soon-ee and Sof for a pig out session at Chomp Chomp, and later to 2AM Dessert Bar @ Holland Village.
Us @ Fairmont
The good-looking couple!
For the New Year,I haven't thought of any particular resolution except that this year's resolutions would be more pratical, I hope. No point writing so many resolution and not fulfilling them at all.
So for starters, get my retainers done in Jan 2011! Happy New Year, All!

Double Dosage
Indulgence.I was unconsciously comfortable gorging chunks of meat since the 23rd of December. Firstly, I had my cell group's X'mas party,and followed by John's relative's remarkable Christmas dinner with the never-ending trays of festive food. Well, I thought they ended the flow of food, but they just kept coming out from the kitchen. Also, we had two rich and creamy log cakes for dessert. My poor tummy had been forced fed the entire Christmas week, and no, that was not the end of it. The very next day, my family had the annual Christmas dinner, and despite the endless stuffing this week, my tummy refused to give up. So, the voracious cycle of carnivore consumption began. Turkey, roasted pork knuckle, slices after slices of ham, and the occasional greens my sister made. Haha, I'm not complaining about the constant chowing of food over the past few days. In fact, I loved it and being bloated once in a while was simply satisfying for me.
Moreover, it was my brother's 19th birthday yesterday and we went to Kuishin-bo buffet for dinner at Jurong Point. The seafood and shobu-shobu was too salty for me, but the chocolate mousse cake was good! Sopida and bro were dashing for the hourly promotion, where the staff would ring a bell and only the first 20 customers would get them. It was quite funny to see two of them saying,'oh shit' and threw whatever they were holding on (grapefruit and ice-cream spoon) the table to rush to the counter for the baked crayfish.
More Christmas Photos!Oh yes, did I mention that I was Santarina this year?
Unwrapping Christmas presents are always fun!
Dad with his new Lacoste
=)
Say Cheese!
Bought granny's sweater!
Family is love.
Stubby's first Christmas!
My goofy dad
Festive Feast
All in all, I had a wonderful Christmas and hope you did too!
Btw, I need a running buddy (female), who is willing to wake up and run at 7am at least twice a week, near Jurong!

Mean girls, Geeks, Rebellious Rockies, A Foxy Teacher and A Christmas Tree.
It definitely was not a usual sight of how a normal Christmas Party should be, and that made it special this year! A genius from E441 came up with the idea that for this year's Christmas theme, we're going back old school.So think, checkered and pleated skirts, knitwear and knee-high socks, boys in camouflage and dark blue uniforms. Then, we have the distinct sounds of girls giggling here and there, it pretty sure looked like high school! It was such an amazing time to share and catch up with them after six months!
Well, I didn't really know what to wear because my secondary school uniform is probably part of someone's curtain/table runner now. But I'm pretty pleased with my outfit, hehe! Here are some of the pictures, as I am unable to upload them to Facebook at this moment.
Just taking it all in..=)
yay, she liked it!
So puh-reety! haha=)
Psychedelic hot stuff
SURPRISE!!
The uniform clan
Love this!
Took a shot with dad before I left!
and I MISS YOU, JANET YANG!

With All That Glittery Glow
Next year will be our tenth year of friendship! Despite the distance, we have still remain very close friends..True, work and studies may forbid us from meeting one another from time to time. But I'm really encouraged by the efforts we've all put in to make our year-end party, the best night ever! I know our friendship has just risen to another level. So, here was where we stayed at - Marina bay Sands (Thanks to Sooj's friend's uncle!), we didn't have to actually paid what might have cost a disastrous depth in our pocket!
W went up to the SkyPark for a great time, and it was a pity we weren't able to swim at their pool due to some circumstances.Nevertheless. it was still a good time! Looking forward to our New Year's celebration already!
Back to the room for presents/games!
Exchanged Presents
Cheers to our 9th year!
Chalk @ Old School
By now, you might have noticed out Christmas headpiece, which followed us from the hotel to the restaurant. haha, we had them on all the way! Sooj suggested us to be reindeers and santarina, and so we did.
These are some of the stuff you do when you have a girls' outing
While waiting for the other three to reach..=)
Met up with Sooj and xl to get some food and drinks at Marketplace
It's so funny that I find this Christmas very satisfying. I was to buy presents for everyone for the X'mas dinner this saturday, but when it was my turn to get my own..Somehow, I didn't feel like I needed anything (even though I have a broken ear piece for months). At that point, it felt like I had everything I wanted, or needed. But I think I have bought myself enough advance presents last month in Brisbane!
Side track, tomorrow's cell party is 'Back To School'. I have no school uniform, so I'll have to dress up..haha, till then, have all the love under the mistletoes, eat all the sweets and savouries, and have a joyful X'mas!
