Hello Christmas IV

You know when adults tell you to cherish your kiddo-school-fun times,
they certainly aren't.. erm ..kidding you.

Work does make people cynical sometimes.
Sad but true.
.
.
.

Had the Annual Christmas Meet with the JC mates and am glad that most of them are still the same ol' self.

:)

The girls minus two.

Group pics!

Six, going seven.

Am thankful I was once part of the young and innocent.
And yes, life is a paradox.

Rest of the pictures here.

.
.

Bedtime stories, I like. And Canele. And Aska Yoyo of cos!
Heh.

Thanks pal!!

AND this addictive game on itouch.
For I TOPPED the table after a couple of tries.
Cheap thrill. I know.

MERRY BELATED CHRISTMAS!!!

Hello Christmas III

Gotta remind myself that
I AM WHAT I EAT MAN.

But then again, it's Christmas!
Hurhur.

Love the complementary novelties.
Definitely got us into the festive mood.
Heh.

Btw, I finally cut my tress.
I KNOW it's not obvious but still....

**************************************

I think age is catching up.
Dropped me in a crowd and I'll probably just die there.

Oh but I hope to be kidnapped to TCC though.
For I can drink their Frosty Bailey over and over again.

Mmmm... growing up is a scary little thing.

Hello Christmas I

So it's 4 more days to Christmas!
And many feasts await.
YUMMM.
.
.

Met up with the girlies for our annual event @ Shin this year.
Random, but their Salmon Butter Teriyaki is Yum x 1000.
But maybe it's just me, cos' I'm highly biased on salmon.

:)

Secret Santa this year was exciting cos' 3 of us weren't 100% sure of who we should buy for since the lots were drawn last yearrrrr.
I'll save the (interesting) details but glad that we got it right!
Telepathic you say?
;)

Pictures glory:

Mask!

Mirror!

Clutch! (Wrappers are deceiving!)

Massager!

You can see how EXCITED I was (cos' I couldnt stop moving and pics turn our blurred. Ha) with my new (OSIM!) gadget.

Just in time for the growing eye bags eh?
I'm ♥-ing it.

Btw, I ♥ those Santa Caps too, courtesy of DL of cos'.

7 years on.. and counting.

♥♥♥

:)

08' through 09'

Kinda scary how time has flown by and 2008 is coming to an end.
It seems like just yesterday that we were working our asses out to complete that Design II project in E5/E2.
I'm more than glad that many things just fell into place eventually, though there's inevitable bumps along the way.

Cliché as it is, I count my blessings that:

- The folkies are healthy and well, so are the sibs and their spouses.
- I'm still employed in this current economy state.
- I have friends who care genuinely.
Thank you for being you.

:)

Went Christmas shopping the other day and came across this beauty.
It's currently residing in the office to keep me in check of a couple of resolutions for 09':

- Getaway(s) to the land(s) of far far away.

- To start saving for a DSLR. Through the lens I see. How apt.
Come to mama, you pretty little thing.

- Ensure that I'm still (usefully) employed so that the above two reso will stay valid.

- To complete a 21, and perhaps a 42 if I get lucky.

But most importantly, seize the time.
Embrace life, my friends.
As the new year awaits.

:)

Sidenote: The braces will FINALLY be off come next year. YAYNESS!

The Terrace @ Beaufort

Knowing how much I love food (together with great ambiance),
my favourite foodie-partner-in-crime brought me to The Terrace @ Beaufort at Sentosa.

A highly secluded and serene site, tucked in a corner of Sentosa. I like!

Quite a spread it was for the evening buffet.
Not doing the food justice here cos' I was busy downing my sashimi. YUM.

We concluded that this will be our last buffet of the year.
Need to keep the waist-line in check eh.

Oh and a lovely Christmas tree was spotted along the beach.
Don't you just love Christmas?

12 more days to go!
:))

SC 10K 08'

SC's run was good and the crowd was massiveeeee!
Went to the Finish point when I'm supposed to find the Start point early in the morning.
Bleah.
Oh it was kinda inspiring to witness a 42k finish even before you start running your tiny 10.
Time for a half soon eh?

The USUAL from a race.
I like them in pictorial.
=)

Glad that it was 4 minutes better off than the last. Another 5 to go.

.
.
.
JQ managed to locate me at Meeting Point 1, which actually did not exist. Ha.
On a super random note, I like my flushed-face after a race.

And Macs breakie it was after the run plus lotsa cam-whoring.

Photobucket

~~More photos from iphone later!~~

Off to dinner. Hootie!

Birthday Weekend II

Visuals for another birthday treat.
Courtesy of the birthday boy who went out of radar for a good 4 months!

On the way to dinner, we found this tea place where I'm soooo in love with!
Nice deco, great ambiance.
Perfect for a quiet afternoon stay.

Aesthetics-inclined presentation. I like!

.
.
.
Dinner was OVERLOADED with Kimchi and what not at this authentic Korean place somewhere along Chinatown.
The seafood steamboat was great but the portion was terrifying.
It seemed like my digestive system came to a halt after the meal.
Indigestion is a scary little thing. Bleah.

Had a go at their rice wine - Makgeolli, which was something refreshing.
It tasted like beer, but the after-taste was sweet.

Post dinner:
Indochine. Manchester Derby. Foster. Nectarie. Tiramisu. Strawberry shortcake.
One year older. One year wiser.
Happy 25th pal!

Birthday Weekend I

I've been stuffing myself silly for the past weekend, which isnt good.
Cos' in 2 days, I think I gained 2 kgs, which isnt good AT ALL.
And SC is like 5 days away?

But that aside, I REALLY had a good weekend!
Good food. Great company.

It's Bestie birthday and I brought her to PS Cafe at Palais to have brunch.
=)

Love the ambiance.
And the food.
Check out the roasted chicken club.
YUMMY to the max.
I'm so going back to try its banana hotcakes.

The drinks were average though...

Oh oh..say hello to my new baby!
I'm loving every minute of it!!
Geeeeky! Heh.

.
.
.

Then it's time for some SURPRISE.

Ok not really. Cos' she had a hard time guessing what I PLANNED for her.
And we starting bickering! HAHA.
.
.
.
.
I know it's not the most innovative present but I'm so glad she enjoyed it!

=)

And so did I!

Hello Jay Sng?
.
.

Moved our asses to Giraffe and planted our ground for a good 5-6 hours?
Times passes sooo quickly when you are having fun.

Ok anyone who loves salmon HAVE to try this.
Looking at the pic makes me hungry already!!

And a couple of drinks to go around before we called it a night.

Woman, hope you had a great 23rd!

Small talks are great. They always are with you.
LOVE!

=)
