Christmas Gatherings

Christmas came and went past very quickly. I would say it was good as long as it lasted.

Thanks to Mr. Evan Goh, the main organiser of all our gatherings, we had a Christmas gathering. I'm sure it wouldn't have been so successfuly without him. This year, we did not just had a gathering over dinner, we had gift exchanges as well! I'm really happy to be there as I have missed the past 2 gatherings due ot late nights at work.

Venue: P.S Cafe. That night was the first time we met Faith's fiance over dinner too.

Gift exchange!

Both guys got Tiffany ties for being Faith's best men :)

For the eve of Christmas eve, I had to work till 12am. Although I was tired, I was extremely surprised to find....

my parcel from Ewa & Thomas, sent to me all the way from Poland! (I hope you're reading this :) thanks guys, you really made my day after such a long day at work). I ripped opened the parcel immediately. I was very touched by them. Inside was a very sweet Christmas card, 2 packets of crystal jelly, a box of snowman candles and 3 boxes of tea called Melisa! I just tried the pear flavoures Melisa tea this morning. It's yummy and smells real fragant.

However, i was a little disappointed with this year's Christmas eve celebration with my friends because the eve of it wasn't as good as I wished it would be. I was initially looking forward to celebrating with my usual group of friends at Steffi's place but i ended up working till 830pm on Christmas eve. By that time, I was so tired and had no mood for anymore celebration. Nonetheless, I still went there totally not dressed for any party.

We had the usual Christmas spread prepared by dear Steffi's mummy. Yum~~(ok it didn't look lk tt when I arrived becoz everyone had their fill. But the food still tasted good)

Der and I was the last 2 to arrive...

Our Pressie

All of us

Fortunately for Christmas day itself, it wasn't that bad. At least I was totally re charged. It was the usual celebration again. Lunch was potluck at my grandma's place. I love the Christmas atmosphere there. Everyone was just soo happy on that day. The house was filled with laughter :)

My adorable cousins baked us cupcakes. Not only do they taste good, they look real pretty too!!

The bakers :)

My sweet little cousins baked 2 heart shapes ones especially for me and der heh.

The Orange Timber

Today was a pretty chill day, walking around, eating and reading my book! It has been a long time since I walked along Blk 85 market. I think the last time was during my sec sch days, on my way back to my grandma house after sch. Since I had breakfast there with my grandma today, I showed der the old sch cake shop where Cham and I bought a huge cream cake (not those fanciful ones we get these days) and finished it all by ourselves under the void deck! Der and I couldn't resist the temptation to buy a slice each :) Strawberry vs blueberry...Only $1.10 each. Those miniture ones that are sold at toast box cost $1.20 and they are only 1/3 the size of this! What a rip off for something nostalgia... Later in the evening, we decided to chill at The Orange Timber @ Tiong Bahru The Orange Timber is a cafe cum art gallery. The plates are bowl used were also meant to be something nostalgia once again... hah However, I use those cutlery at home too. There are like 3 sections to this small cafe...

Happy Chinese New Year!
