Xmas feasting

It's 2008!!

Finally I am writing a post after MIA for days. But have to report on what happened during the last few days of 2007. I know I orh-tang a lot....

Due to the time constrain, i shall just keep it short.

Could simpy dun log abt it but I insist on posting here for my future reference sake.


Basically the last 2 weeks were spending meeting up with friends and of cos feasting...
It's unlike to meet friends over a cup of kopi-o at the neighbourhood kopitiam. With all the good food, guess I had put back some weight.


Let me recall:

19 Dec :
Took a day off. Went to my former workplace at changi south. Supposed to meet the admin team for lunch but seems they are having their admin party, they asked me to join in. Not wanting to seen as gatecrashng, i brought 2 boxes of Beard Papa Puffs ( knowing it was not easy for them to get this type of snack nearby their office).

Then went to touch up my highlights (on my hair). Red red streaks. Hahaha. Match the Xmas mood (think red Santa) and guess can pull it off for the new Chinese New Year. New year is approaching too, so can say I want to 鸿运当头。

Dropped by at Nana's shop (http://www.bythebranch.com.sg/) to get some more xmas gifts. She commented my hair as red as Sammi . Hmm I was starting to worry if my highlights are too striking and my parents will freak out when they saw my hair...

In the evening, met up with the SPH gang for dinner at 天外天。We not only ordered the famous Fish head steamboat, but also order other zhi-char dishes such as prawn paste chicken, fu-rong egg, prawn and beancurd, and veggie. Yummy yummy.

20 Dec

as shown in the pic above, met up with 王太and 金城太 at Bishan. We wanna avoid the Orchard crowd as it's a public holiday.
checked out the Junction 8's Wan Chai HongKong TeaRoom. Even though I have my lunch, i could not resist ordering the honeydew sage with ice cream when I had already ordered a cup of tea and a sering of fried dumplings.

One thing I found out, my new digicam take pics of food quite well. The food looked appetising on the screen.

later went to AMK Hub to get another new toy for myself. As mentioned in the previous post, wanted to get Nokia 6110 navigator but ended up getting a 6500 Slide cos of the Hot Deals Promotion.

21 Dec

Back to work at office. It's rather quiet in the office as many of the colleagues took leave to enjoy a long weekend. For those who are around, many are in a holiday mood. In the evening, met up with KTV khakis for gift exchange over a round of drinks and KTV at a pub in Serangoon gardens. As we left the place rather early,(b4 midnite), VGF suggested we the whole group of 4 to check out the Upper Seletar reservoir where the carpark are full of cars with newspapers or cardboard pasted around the windows. We also climbed up the tower to check out the view from there, while climbing the stairs, we kinda worry what will happen if we happened to bump into some couples who were making use of the ahem.. place... there. To our relief (or some, a disappointment), we were the only ones who climbed up the tower that nite. A bit boh liao , I have to admit....

Had supper with them before went home. Roti prata = more carbohs...

22 Dec

Dinner at Vil'age with the TXY gang ( a grp of 10) before fannie and I proceed to take picture of the Xmas deco at Orchard Rd. Not going to list down what I ate and "koped" from others.

Pics of the deco will be post on another day. Quite pleased with my new toy (camera). Hahah

28 Dec

Went to attend a basic digital photography photoshop course with my colleague. In the evening, we proceed to the Zui Fairprice Steamboat Restaurant at upper thomson road to meet other colleagues for dinner. Boss was giving us (those who worked under him) our dinner treat there. Thinking that the serving would be quite little, we ordered quite a lot of food (since it's buffet anyway). turned out we have plates of meat, meatballs, veggies to clear. Boss even ordered an extra dish of slated chicken. We were also given a plate of live prawns. I was the one who "murdered" the live prawns by catching hold of them from their feelers and throw them into the boiling soup. What to do, the rest of the gals dun dare to touch them.

Even though all of us were full, some colleagues wanted to have a up of ice-cream at Eskimo nearby. Couldn't find a seat for 7 people there and we just walked around and decided to check out this white and red themed cafe instead. For those interested, can check out this url of a review of the cafe which I just found online . Craving Thoughts Cafe (http://www.hungrygowhere.com/craving_thoughts_cafe) .

Drinks were on boss again! Suggested taking a group photo since it is rare chance that we can get together after work. Then one colleague added that we should all be standing behind the boss. (as it happen that currently , all the staff under him were all gals, boss often likes to joke that 我们是他的女人. And another colleague added that the two Sisters (who are higher in rank) should be sitting beside him instead. And surprisingly, everyone was so 'on". Quickly sprang into action and gotten the waiter to help to take a pic.

The funny thing was, after we took our pic. The customers at the neighbouring tables start to take their group photos too.



Above pics are some of the drinks we had ordered. As you can see, I really like to to take pics of food with my new toy. :P
