    A pretty last minute huoguo session with chummies!
    A post Christmas and pre New Year session =)

    Had a grocery spree with Beh, xi and Fy which we ended buying alot despite beh's reminder not to buy too much... And who was the one who insisted on buying 3 packs of crabsticks and a tub of nata de coco?
    Lolx!

    Everyone held their food so high, my face got covered... lol



    *slurps*

    Crabsticks, sotong balls, hotdogs and all the other balls!
    A ton of food for just 6 peeps... Lol


    Bubbles! *pokes like mei mei*


    Fy eyeing the huoguo...

    After giving up, we had a hearty chat bout 大男人 and 小女人!
    So we understand Kenny's plea in transforming Mei from a 大女人 to a 小女人!
    Lolx!
    As usual, Chum's conversation got exaggerated and we thought of how we will throw/squeeze mei into kenny's house... Lol!

    Our Desserts...
    Longans, rambutan with pineapple, lychee nata de coco and sea coconut!

    New Year shots


    Then, a Christmas shot!


    Caught unprepared by mei...



    Our Xiao-Fei and Xing Fu de expression!


    Just look at the cakes!!
    *Drrooolllssss*
    Xi got us the hotel log cake (1st pic) from Carousel...
    It taste sinfully good!
    It has gold on it! Lolx!
    We were full but still took a slice each!
    Fy got a log cake which we didn't manage to try =(


    The inside...
    There's a lovely crunch to the cake and a tinge of sourish cherry filling (? I forgot the name of it) and it's heavenly... =)

    Kenny took the honour to the big ball..
    It's chocolate!


    This is from beh!
    It's a stick at gives off glitters when you powder it on ur body or face..

    I didn't believe them when they told me bout that loh...
    cuz it looks like a pen...

    But it really works! I tried! hahahah!!
    Thanks beh! =D

    It was a fun dinner, had a lovely time chatting and laughing till my jaws hurt!
    Thanks Xi for coming early for grocery, buying vege, helping to wash the dishes and the wonderful logcake!

    Thanks Beh for coming early for grocery, the glitter "pen" pressie and sharing your tears of joy with us!

    Thanks Fy for lugging the grocery to my place with your car, your logcake, honey baked ham, candy cans and chocoloates!

    Thanks Mei and Teppan for pouring your sorrows with us (whahahaha) and being the topic of the night!

    Happy New Year! Cya all next year!

    The fragility of life...

    News that shocked many last night... Ms Bhutto's death
    Though I don't really follow Pakistan politics...
    It's pretty obvious the country's in quite a chaotic state with all the protests, bomb blasts and killings...

    Though I don't quite agree with the more than often fare hikes, I've to be content with life in Singapore...
    At least we don't live everyday in constant fear, paranoid about political killings and dramatic street protests.
    It's definitely not a nice sight with all the streets filled with blood puddles and injured peeps (like those scenes you see on news coverage on the incident)

    Mum came back last night from her trip...
    One of her friend (who went along with the tour) had a sudden heart attack while they were scaling some small mountain, he collapsed and passed away just like that...

    And to think we trusted travel insurances...

    They didn't manage to bring the body back to Singapore cuz of the hefty fees (the insurance company didnt wanna bear the cost!) and so had to be cremated in China...

    It's pretty sad not being able to be "sent off" in your own homeland and your children not being able to sent you in your "last journey"...
    I always feel for those who pass away overseas...

    It was suppose to be a long-awaited, fun and relaxing trip but something like tt happened..
    Unexpected, traumatising for some of the travel mates and poor mum who didnt had good night rest throughout the trip...

    So much unhappy incidents happening around...
    What a way to end the year...

    May the deceased rest in peace...
    The youngest of Chums is finally 21!!
    Ah Fy 生日快乐!
    After a day of shopping and sourcing pressie for my dear niece's 1st month, I managed to drop by Swensons to wish ah fy happy birthday~!

    So sorry to Fy cuz I didn't stayed for long...

    Mum's back~! No more dirty house!

    Anyway, I was greeted with a whole table of ppl...
    Ah Fy's secondary school pals as well =)

    The whole lot of ppl...


    Chummies!
    *kudos to Ah Xi a.k.a You Xi now*
    I can never have enough courage to cut my tresses short though I really want to...
    =(

    Speaking of which, I must really do something to my hair...

    One of the wacky photos...
    I'm extra...
    Are the other photos in Ah Dong's Cam?
    I hope they see the light soon... =X


    The birthday girl!

    Happy 21st Ah Fy

    Hope you likes the cuppies~
    May your work be smooth-sailing and less tiring in time to come...
    Jia You jia you!

    Stay wacky, happy and fun-loving~
    And so I heard... Where's ur wedding gown? =P

    Merry Christmas everyone!

    Had a great feasting session at West Coast Park last night with dearest Cdians...
    Had an illegal BBQ gathering with our own pits etc...
    Lots of food (thanks to JR, Ju, Gwee and Darius for a special grocery trip the day before) like taiwan sausages, hotdogs, otah, chickenwings, sotong balls, crabsticks, prawns, stingray, honey baked ham etc marinated by our very own chef Teo!
    *slurps!*
    Love the sauces!
    (Thou it was still terrible to swallow on its own when we had it for our game forfeit) =S


    Cdian's Christmas Feast


    Barang Barang

    The gifts!
    We had quite a pathetic countdown session thou...
    hahah
    Cuz no one had a proper and accurate "seconds" watch...
    We randomly counted "10, 9 , 8....."
    and it was quite 尴尬 when we reach "3, 2, 1"
    The random us just shouted Merry Christmas...
    Lolx!
    Why are there so many people at WCP but none were counting down?
    And I thought we could leach their time...
    Bleah!

    Ju and San
    *hugs*


    Gwee, Gy (Also decked in Green!)



    Ms Chee in strawberry red...


    Isaac still managed to join us despite not being able to eat, talk and laugh...
    It must have been terrible looking at us eat our hearts out and not being able to laugh along with us...
    We tried not making you laugh, Zac! We did TRY...

    And of cuz, my dearest boy =)

    Cya all next week!
    ;)

    Thanks all for the lovely, filled with fun and laughter 平安夜!

    P.S. Pardon me for my lousy phone quality!!
    I promise to bring my camera on Wed!!
