the festivities!

CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR'S DAY!

Wow, all the festivities have gotten to my head... haven't been updating much ya? hehe... sorry... anyways, i had a great X'mas and New Year's Day... hehe...

X'mas was spent with my dear... just the two of us... Dear came over to my place to stay over on eve... we went to town for X'mas... oh, he loves the scrapbook that i made for him... so happy... he bought me this pink bear too... hehe... so nice...

ok back to X'mas day... we had ribs at this shop in Taka... not bad, quite cheap too... $14 for a whole slab of ribs... we then went to Lips for cake... i had the tiramisu... choked on the cocoa powder they put on the cake... geez... that's it... i'm condemning tiramisu... argh... we then went to Far East Plaza, in search of the ulu store that Charles recommeded, called Constant Craving... it was really very ulu... like in some secluded corner... i give it 2 month's more before it disappears from Far East... but the food is nice and the deco is nice too... i had the fish and chips while Dan had the lemon dory... both were nice... i guess i'll be going back there someday to try the pasta... recommended strongly by food lover - Charles! haha...

Went back to Country Manna and joined them in their celebration... Dan went fishing... hehe... we exchanged gifts and i got this hair dye... courtesy of Patrick... and he wrapped it in so many layers of newspaper... argh... u good... but it was fun... ok, note to self: not to get anything so boring as chocolates next time... because most of the gifts were so creative and fun! haha... no more boring and safe gifts from me now... ;P

After the gift opening, we had the drinks... hehe... Louise made us all some SIngapore Sling... it was belly nice... hehe... after which we played games... guessing the number... it was damn fun... another note to self: never consume wine again... EVER! we mixed 3 types of wine together, with sparkling juice... as punishment, one must down the drink in a shot... haha... shiok right? yeah rite! it tastes horrigible! and i puked a little out after downing my one and only glass... eek... we all played till the last drp of booze was cleared... we then left for home... now, the wine was powerful... i felt so tipsy after getting home... my head was spinning even when i was lying still in bed... argh...

Ok, now for the other festivity - New Year's Day... went to have dinner at Cafe Cartel, courtesy of my dear who treated his colleagues at IG's Heaven. i only had a cup of tea though cos i had KFC before going to meet them. Tried a bit of the ribs Dan was having... yummilicious! hehe... Charles and Xie Jun came to join us later and we headed down to Harry's Bar for the countdown. We played a couple of games... and of course there was booze involved... didn't drink much that night (what? after the lesson i got from X'mas day? no way! haha) practically sprayed each other to death... almost drowned one another in the spray thingie... it's kinda streamer like... dunno what it's called... heh... spent the next 5 - 1o min removing the gunk from our hair and clothes... took a couple of photos and left for Pauline (Dan's boss') home...

Didn't do much at her home cos we were all pretty tired... wanted to drink more alcohol but ended up not doing so... we just watched tv, talked, and had a couple of snacks. told ghost stories before we finally got too tired to do anything and headed for bed at 5am... we then left her place at 11 am and Dan and i headed to his place. took a nap at his place and we slept till 4.30pm... prepared to go fishing with Ah Tai... he came over and brought us over to his place... the guys watched soccer while i played with Ah Tai's wife's hamsters... so cute... there are about 10 of them now... haha... tooks a couple of vids and pics of them too... left to fish after the soccer match ended... turns out that we were fishing at Boat Quay... i didn't fish as usual... sat there trying to complete my assignments... but i got so tired that i slept in Ah Tai's truck at about 3am... Dan came and woke me up at about 4 plus... cldn't fall asleep after that so i went and watched them pack up... took the morning train home... home sweet home... really missed my bed and pillow esp... hehe...

Oh, i finally got to try the new chicken foldover at Macs... and the yogurt too... both were berry nice! hehe... i'd recommend it... and they're both healthy food too... not fried or high in fat or anything like that... heh... speaking of which, i've decided to eat healthy this year... or for as long as i can last, at least... hehe... will post the photos later... if i can... hehe... oh, and to those who left msgs on my blog - Merry X'mas and Happy New Year to you too! haha...
