My 2007 Christmas

Found out that my mum reads my blog. Oh-no! But being an English-option teacher, she said it's good. It improves my vocab and bla bla bla... Hehehe.. Hmm... not sure if I should /censor/ my posts from now on or not. Hehehe... And am afraid to make any grammar mistakes.. Hahaha.. Just kidding...

Christmas was different for me this year. It was spent away from home. Of course, I do miss those times we had back home.
On Saturday, 22nd Dec, we went for the Christmas event at church, The Father's Love. It was a great one, I loved the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s love songs melody they sang. And the singers were great.
Right after that, we had to rush from Adam's Road to Pasir Ris to make it to my big boss' house for BBQ dinner. It's a farewell for him actually since he'll be posted to Suzhou next year. Also, it coincided with Christmas, so I bought a bottle of French red wine as a gift for him, and a box of Swiss chocs for my immediate mgr's children. Jason loved the seafood spread that he had. The prawns were really fresh, and yes, cray-fish! I didn't take it as I really didn't like seafood, but Jason said it was good. Even the lamb and beef it was soft, tender, juicy. Haha.
The next day, Sunday, my family (parents & bro) came down. Waited for them for about 3 hours at the bus station as there was a massive queue at customs. Brought them to my granduncle's place where they will be putting up 2 nights there, and headed to Orchard Rd for dinner with their family. At Crystal Jade restaurant (again!) at Taka. Stomachs filled, we walked around before returning home. The crowd was just getting from bad to worse. People-jam. Haha.

At Taka with familyMonday, we went to Queensway to get my bro's shoes. Yeah, so I got him a pair of Nike as his Christmas prezzie. My parents bought him a FILA jacket and Levi's for prezzie too. He was beaming from his left ear to his right whole day! Next, we went back for lunch, grandaunt cooked buah keluak, a typical nyonya dish, originated from Indonesia. Yummy! And she made kueh pai-tee (top-hats). After that, my aunt dropped us at Orchard Rd as my mum wanted to do more shopping. Hehehe. By 5.30pm, we left Orchard as we didn't want to be in the crowd, for Marina Square. Did a bit of window shopping before Jason came to join us. John Little was having SALES. Had dinner at Waraku Jap Res, before bringing them to see the Fountain of Wealth. Had a cup of coffee before going home.
At fountain of wealthWill post up some pics once we're back in Spore. Till then, chaoz...
