X'mas Party

This Christmas was indeed different from the others. We hosted a party at home, reserved for Ahem! only my beloved family. We had roasted turkey, pork knuckle, honey-baked ham, hotdogs and sausages, sushi sets, DC's fruit cocktail and champagne. It seems like everyone loves the pork knuckle. It was finished before long. Next favorite was the sushi. Ah boy almost ate up all the ebi sushi.



Next it's gift exchange time! This is the highlight of the night. Everyone has presents this year. Here's how the game goes: Boy Boy is the appointed administrator of the game. He picks a present and the present-giver will shout out the receiver's name. The receiver goes to Boy Boy to collect the present from him and takes a picture with him. It felt a bit like an award ceremony hehe.



I devised a treasure hunt for Boy Boy. He has to solve the hints that I hid at the different places before he can get his present. But alas, one of the hints was exposed before the gift exchange when he playfully took out my gym ball (where the hint was hidden). Luckily he don't know about the hunt and after a while of playing, he put the hint and the gym ball back in place. Phew!



Boy Boy was blessed with the most presents (of couse, he was all our precious darling), next was his mum. Sis got her dream Canon digital camera and she was very touched. I gave DC a Zoid and Boy Boy wanted it for himself. We took a while to answer his questions and convince him that the toy is not for him.



Finale was cake cutting by sis as today is also her birthday but poor thing, every year her cake is always the x'mas themed log cake. Haha...

Christmas Lunch

This Christmas is geting exciting and full. Last week had hse warming, had a feast. This week's Christmas, gonna have 2 feasts! I'm so full! here's lunch at Merchant Court Hotel.

Piggy

We came across a stuff toy pig that is soooo cuteee that we bought it home as my christmas present. I thought the pig looks very feminine with the pink heart on the face but DC claimed that it's a male one... hmm, what do u think?

X'mas Celebration in Office

Had some fun, joy and laugher celebrating x'mas in office today. X'mas lunch was from Fig and Olive. There's ham, turkey, log cake, etc x'mas party sets. It was quite yummy. Following lunch was the gift exchange. After gift exchange, we sat down for some games.


I got a shawl from Carine, just what I need. The office is getting cold and I was about to look for a jacket or shawl to fight the cold. :) Besides the shawl, I received three other presents from colleagues: a box of chocolate, puzzle bathing gel and handphone strap. Didn't expect to get extra presents so, I didn't prepare any...so paiseh but Thank You so much for the presents! I am certainly blessed this christmas! :)

Christmas Wish Tree

Went back to my office today. Saw the Christmas wish tree. Each tag represents wishes of the company staff. Each person is assigned to buy something for the owner of the wish tag. Love this tree, what a big star! And it comes with a big base.

A pecan pie

Am I a suaku or what? I didn't know a pecan pie is a must in Christmas, at least in some states of America. Quite nice and tasty, this one that I had in my office.

A Christmas House Warming

Not so much of a hse warming but more of a Christmas gathering for friends. It's been about 10 months since we moved in and things really start to clutter around the place. Had such a hard time cleaning/ hiding the stuff so that the place can be clean and cosy for the guests ... hmm, early spring cleaning for CNY? Goodies on that day include Ikea meatballs, Christmas log cake, honey-baked ham, fruit cocktail, Paulaner Brahaus pork knuckles and catered buffet.

Taking Pictures of Christmas Decor

This year, armed with my camera, I decided to take pics of the numerous Christmas trees wherever I can find them. Seems like evey retail outlet has one and some are so very beautiful!

A Real X'mas Tree in Office

Here's a photo we took today at the office. Just look at the x'mas tree. This is the best decorated tree that I've seen... and it is real tree!

1 month to Christmas!

Yahoo! X'mas is approaching in 1 mth's time!

Most of the shops have already had their x'mas tree displayed. I saw some nice and unusual festive trees when I was out for facial today. Can't help taking pictures of the x'mas decorations. Hmmm... Maybe I will collect more of them and post the pictures in the blogs to come?

Today, my sisters and parents gathered at my house. They have a mission which is to help me set up my x'mas tree and decorate it. Ah boy was there to help out as well and he did a great job!

Tata...Here's the result of our work.

Choosing a X'mas Tree

It wasn't easy at all, choosing a x'mas tree. I wanted to get one last year but too bad, our house was not done up yet. So, I am determined to get one this year.

We went places to search for the tree...Paragon, then Carrefour at Plaza Sing and Suntec City. We finally got one at Carrefour Suntec. It was a 200cm tall tree. Feeling satisfied, we went back to fix the tree... but alas! when the base was formed, we found the tree extremely big and not fitting at all! What can we do? We dismantled the base and brought it back. Luckily Carrefour had refund policy and we got the refund. :)

We chose a smaller tree this time... 150 cm. I hope we make the right choice this time because we definitely don't want to go back again for exchange!
