My X'mas Celebrations

21 Dec 08 ~ Early Dinner @ Val's hse...

Had a great time as usual with Dreamx. Food was gd as always, all thks to Val and Teresa :)

Had salad, biscuit with avocado dip, turkey breast, lasagna and bread & butter pudding...

Everyone had brought little gifts although we had decided not to have present exchange. What a nice surprise :) I received precious moments sweets, face shop's lip gloss, face shop's face scrub...


24 Dec 08 ~ Dinner @ My hse

Dear's family came by to celebrate Christmas. As usual, got to 'da bao' since i don't know hw to cook :p

We 'da bao zi cha' - Chilli & black pepper crabs etc.... Sis in law brought apple crumbles and mini muffins while my dear bought a log cake.

Nice feast and v sinful... hehe

Nice surprises for everyone as my MIL gave all of us a christmas present. I gotten myself a piglet cushion :) My sis in law also gave us a toaster oven but too bad we had just bought an oven just 1 wk ago!

Me and dear also had christmas presents for everyone!


25 Dec 08 ~ Late Lunch @ My hse

A huge spread - mashed potatoes, baguette & carrots with shrimp & hot crab dips, potato salad, seafood pasta, bread & butter pudding, apple crumbles...

Too bad i don't have a wine opener as we'd missed out on a very nice wine i bought @ Napa Vally. It's a v sweet muscat.

Fresh idea of gift exchange where everyone picked a card numbering from 1 to 8 as there were 8 of us. The person who picked 8 had the highest priority to decide who he/she wants to exchange his/her present with while the person who picked 1 cannot exchange with anyone.

In the end i gotten myself a purple monkey cushion & a set of green towel packaged nicely in a cup.

So much feasting in just a week. So sinful...
