Merry Christmas my dear friends~
=)


Spent my eve with nauti boy at Vivo~
Not as crowded and "happening" as expected


Merry Christmas Naughty Boy~


Had a great dinner at Kim Gary's...
Yumm~
It's a HK style eatery and the food is good!
+ points to the good service (unlike *ahem* wang)

I had mushroom rice with fish...
It's really good!
The rice is mixed with mushroom, corn kennels, egg (kindna like fried rice) and with the sauce, it tasted really good.
Order that if you are a mushroom fan!
The fish is fried with a coat of egg perhaps and it's really 2 slices of fish meat (not fishcake)
Yum yum!


I forgot to take a pic of the food..
This is after I gobbled up the yummy dish =X

Naughty boy had Chicken chop cheese baked rice set
and he said it's better than *ahem* wang
*thumbs!*


This is when naughty boy was half way through the dish :P
That's a cup of cream soup by the way...

Oh! I baked cookies yesterday~ Hee!

It's called sugar cookies but everybody (sis, colleagues and naughty boy) said it's butter cookies cuz it tasted like those... good reviews! =)

I will most probably be baking a cake for New Year Day's gathering!
The date and timing is set!
So Republicians, it's 1st Jan, 4.30pm at my place...
If you guys don't know how to come, let me know.

Remember, it's a pot luck so be sure to bring some food along!
Also, a belated Xmas gift exchange hor!
Get something practical please!

Some finger food - nuggets, crab meat, hot dogs?

And today, the biz department had a party and there were turkey, sushi, champagne, wine (thank goodness the presenters did not get drunk/go red when they are on air)

APs and studio 3 will be having a party on Christmas eve with all the food but I'm not working...
So no "kou fu" le :(
But the AP will have to wear something with Red or Green element in it on Christmas Day!
(Ya... I'm working on Christmas Day... Boo hoo!)
Got to dig my cupboard for something Red or Green.. haha exciting!

Will have to work on New Year Eve, hopefully the studio crews have some celebrations up!
Then it will not be that bored...
Nvm, at least, one of the crew promised me she will bring champagne on that day
=P

Have to take care of my waist during this few months (all the way to Lunar New Year) in case it disappears!
=/

This is Pearl, my fellow AP
We were working the same shift so we had time to snap snap =X

Friday, December 15, 2006

Had been really down on my luck... Argh~
Financially especially...

I officially announce the retirement of my laptop...
Thanks for servicing me for the past 3.5 years and Thanks hor! for breaking down on me when I needed you the most, when my bank is crying out loud and when it's just a few days to my assignment dateline...

^*&%&;amp;amp;(&*)*(_)">^*&%&(&*)*(_)
Anyway, I haven't been blogging for quite some time and lots of stuff happened~

I finally had a good break from work and studies!
Had 3 solid continuous days of off/leave!
Used it to the fulless!

Day 1 - Sunday
Baby Dylan's 1st birthday!
Miss Chan's Retirement Gathering

Had to "pao tong gao" on that day because of the 2 events
Time passed damn fast :(

Birthday boy

I decorated the back~~
Buffet anyone?

I like this pic...
See the similarity 2 generations down?

Oh! And his hat! Cute hor?
He refused to wear the hat and kept trying the pull it down but we distracted him with the balloon and he actually forgotten about the hat!
Amazingly, he wore it throughout and completely forgot about it even after losing interest in the balloon.
Heh! Poor Dylan
So easy to "pian"

Dylan is 1!
The cake cost over a hundred!
I'm so going to open a cake shop!
*did I mention I was very into baking cakes a few weeks ago?*
*yum!*

My early Christmas present from cousin Keith and Nigel :)
Nauti boy got his share too!~

Pardon me for that awkward expression cuz the little boy refused to look into the com and kept struggling in my arms...
Never give his auntie face... *roar*

And finally, he stopped to look... at a piece of cake beside the camera
*and that's my big cousin behind us... I asked him to join in the shot*

Time for the next tong gao: Miss Chan's Retirement Gathering by the Alumni

Really felt like we were attending a wedding dinner... haha
Saw the 喜 word once we stepped into the restaurant
and there comes Mr Lee, smiling his darlie-without-chemicals- teeth welcoming us
and Miss Chan shaking hands with all the "guests"

Miss Chan obviously don't remember us cuz she asked if we were ex students or current students -_-"'
Blame it on us for being too guai during secondary school days... she didn't have a chance to punish us or talk to us =P
But Miss Chan is the same old Miss Chan...
Our "lunch" started at 3+ to 4? cuz of her speech -_-"'

Haha... see the word behind? We purposely chose the spot =P
Mr Lee always close his eyes =/
Scared of radiation =X

Let me just praise Mr Lee... He can actually remember all of us...
Bravo! *claps* Must have memorised the class register the night before...
He still can name out Eunice's index number! Power!
*although it's not that hard to remember cuz it's no.1*
Lolx!

Our table + Jian Rong who came to "ke chuan"

Let's all go out find "meng nan" by the pool!
Our table got had great view of the pool =P

ah ju who just flew back to Indo without us :(
I want shopping!

A shot with our principal

This is the stage that Mr Lee kept telling Darius he prepared for him so me and nauti boy can go up and take a pic... lolx!
Mr Lee can be cheeky at times ah... lolx!
But in the end, we turned it around to make it HIS stage...
=P

Finally, finished our lunch cum dinner
*burp*

We proceeded to Eunice's house to watch Star Awards
Haha!

And yeah!!! I won...

The bet with my colleagues... Won with 4 others so each of us got only about $56 =P
Fun!~
I'm promoted from a NB (new bird) to DC (defending champion)
Hur hur~
Star Awards 2007, here I come!

Day 2 - Monday

It's the long awaited shopping day!
Ah Ju and I combed Bugis and bought a bag each and tops :)

Went to Bugis and proceeded to Beppu for ramen~
Kept laughing all the way cuz our paper steamboat kept "chut che-ing"

First, it dripped soup into the heating gel and the waiter had to replace a new one for us...
Then, the paper caught fire after we drink quite some amount of the soup and they had to change it for us...

We were worried the fire detector would "sprinkle" water on us...
In the end, we got a complimentary paper pot with more ingredients and a cup of yoghurt ice cream
But we were too full so we just conquered the desert and went off to Orchard for more shopping

=P

Great day! *thumbs*

Day 3 - Tuesday

Not exactly a terrific day cuz had minor hiccups but overall it's still great to spend time with nauti boy :P

This is the day my com retired but thanks darling for helping me solve my problems and ordering the new com for me :)

Yeah!~ See ya on Saturday~ That's tomorrow~!

Day 4 - Wednesday

The day I dreaded - going back to work after a 3 days break :(

Anyway, it's finally over and I'm looking forward to Saturday.

Wish of the day:

Please let the research proposal assignment be completed by itself.

Thanks!
