Christmas Day

It's Christmas Day! But I has to work in the morning.....haha anyway it's just a last half day work for my 2010! So I went to work in the morning and just before I leave work I went to cold storage to buy some ingredient for my cooking session at Hubby's place. It's been a long time I wanted to do some cooking for Hubby. Since we were just lazying at home so may as well let me do the cooking that night! So here's the menu of our Christmas Day Dinner:

There's only 2 dish as there's only the 2 of us. There's no turkey, no log cake, no red wine but it's just a simple dinner for the 2 of us. Really enjoyed the cooking and the end result of our food. We shall do it again! :D Merry Christmas!

X'mas Eve Celebration

What was my program for my X'mas Eve? It's a simple one! Couldn't ask for more, I just wanted to have a simple night out. Many of you might have a half day or off day that day while me it's a full working day lol. Work till 6.30pm as usual then I quick run off to meet up with Hubby and his buddies. We meet up for dinner at Kallang Leisure Park, yes we wanted some where out of the crazy city! You wouldn't believe how crazy the city is during festive season, I simply just hate the crowd. We had a dinner at Pasta Mania followed by a coffee break at Starbucks before our movie starts.

We also played a card game at starbuck, it was full of fun! The card game is call the monopoly deal! We also exchanged gift and I was kinda surprise that the gift from LH was a cute hand made crystal handphone string. Well it really doesn't look like something that a big guy like him will spend time and make it. But I really appreciated it, and we really had fun just to guess what was the animal that he had made. Making fun of the gifts that we received, so sorry :P Here's how it looks like:

Isn't that cute? You may make a guess what animal is this...haha I chose the most normal looking one la of cos. Anyway it was a fun night with those guys, it's really a fun X'mas Eve. :)

Preparing X'mas Gift

Guess many people hate the process of it...the process of preparing X'mas gift. But actually I like it, cos shopping ma! But this year I didn't need to prepare a lot just a few so I only use half a day to complete getting all of them. I like some of the gifts that I have gotten this year, one of them are the sweets! It's from Japan imported and lots of different weird favors! Here are all of them!

There's: Yaki Toukibi Drop / Kobe Pudding Drop / Cheese Cake Drop / Hot Milk Drop / Okinawa Beer Drop / Choco Banana Crape Drop & Yudo-Fu Drop! Isn't it fun!?

Guess another thing that people hate is getting the gift wrapped up. Shopping mall's wrapping service need to queue and you are just too lazy to wrap it yourself. Well I have been doing the recycling wrapping for a few years. Ever since I starting to hate people who like to waste paper getting lots of free wrapping papers & paper bags and in the end didn't use it and throw it away in the year end. I started to just use fashion magazines that I no longer read to wrap up the gift, in anyway you are going to just tear it away right? So here's some of the gift that I have wrapped up for my colleagues!

Recycle Gift is Environment Friendly or Cheapo?

Read this article in a newspaper and it saids that many Singaporean will tend to recycle gift. Which means some will use the gift that they have just receive and know it's useless to them and give it as a gift to another person. Some people will it think it as cheapo, as if you can't afford to buy something for other people. Some think that it's good, as you are recreating less rubbish as the gift is useless to you but it might be useful to another person right? So what would you think?

For me I think it's ok, if the item you have gotten from a friend is really useless to you then the only result will be the item will be thrown away for place it somewhere for 1 year and when it's CNY time you throw it away during spring cleaning. If you think that the item is suitable for another one person why do you still buy another useless gift and make the same mistake again? hahaha

So I still think it's fine to recycle the gift if you think the ending of the gift will be to the rubbish bin....But then don't be like someone that I know, he use the gift that was in the storeroom kept for 2 years and there were dust on it but he just blow the dust away in front of you and pass you the gift to you as "Merry Christmas". This was a classic! hahaha

But anyway I still like to encourage everyone to have a more green Christmas this year. Just like what I have done the past years, I'll still use recycle papers as wrapping papers. Let's work together for a more green Christmas!

1st Christmas Dinner & 1st Christmas Gift

The very first Christmas Dinner was with Twin, Grace. She is so busy lol wanted to meet on Wed 15 Dec when I don't have any packing duties but she suddenly have another family dinner. So we can only meet for a quick dinner on Thu 16 Dec when I have a packing duty. No choice since she is so busy and she is also flying off the next week. Wouldn't want a after christmas dinner with her and it's been very very long since our last meet up. My Dear, I know you will read this hahaha Must meet me once you are back from your holiday ah! hehehe

Anyway, we had our dinner at Tonkuchi it was a quick dinner and quick updates on our life. Although it was a quick one, it is still a nice dinner with her. Not to mention we also had some Christmas gift exchange, she had a big bag of goodies back as there's so many things that I need to pass her and this is the only chance! hehe Thank you Twin for the Christmas Gift I love it all. Sorry I didn't put much effort on your gift but hope you will still like it. I'll give you a better birthday gift next year and we shall have our photos taken next year before we step to the 30s!

Winter Season or Raining Season? I'm still loving it

When ever it's December I love the weather, even through it keep raining. The weather is cooling that I can bring out all my jackets to wear. I'll try to have some winter looks on my daily wear, of cos not those thick thick jackets that you wear in winter country. I'll add some scarf or thin shawl around my neck and will also wear thick socking. I just love the feeling of wearing some winter feel outfits it makes me happy. :D Advance Merry Christmas to all too!

There goes the money!

Yes I did it again~ I couldn't handle the temptation... every time this period I'll get so tempted and got overspent during this Christmas session. As there's so many end of season sales going on! I have been trying very hard to control myself to not stepping into branded boutiques that starts with C, B, G, K...etc. But too bad the temptation has over power my brain hahaha I stepped into the boutique of G.... And this time round I couldn't controlled myself!!!

The bag is really too good deal that I couldn't let it go. The usual price was $830 but now there's 30% which is $581 and I have got additional 10% off which become $522.90! What's more I purchased it using my DBS Mastercard and there's promotion for purchases over $500 that gave me $30 Takashimaya Gift Vouchers! So this made the bag even cheaper at $492.90! Ok ok I know many of you will be saying I'm just finding excuses to make myself feel that it's worth it. But I really think it's worth it!

Well I promise this is going to be my last branded bag this year. haha Anyway it's going to be end of this year soon. This bag shall serve the new bag for my new year too! :) Here's my lovely bag!
