I love Christmas!!!

It is round the corner, Christmas is coming. I can feel the mood and hear the Christmas songs. Was at the Starbuck at United Square and the cafe is filled with Christmas mood, love the setting and the atomsphere. Can't wait for the Christmas parties.

Christmas again

Mum and aunts ideas of Christmas party are really very different from our (at least mine). The foods that they prepared are the typical dishes that we had during family buffet dinner. Mee hoon, satay, otah, steamed fish, sushi and few vegetatian stuffs. They find the foods that I prepared too westernised for them, like the roast chicken, saugages and the steamed vege.

My mum thought I am inviting my friends over for the dinner, so she prepared too much foods, when she knows that my friends are not coming, she quickly went down to invite my grandma void deck kaki up for the feast. So, the party turns out to be grandma's party.

With no Christmas Tree, no turkey, no log cake, the dinner feel like an usual family gather rather than Christmas celebration but that's the spirit of Christmas isn't it? It is a get together for the family for a good time.

Hopefully, we will have a Chrsitmas party every year from now on and more happening gift exchange among cousins.

Cheers...

Jolly good time

Christmas party at my place was supposed to be happier if not for my oven which break down at the perfect timing. I have planned to roast chicken, baked shepherd pie, and baked mushrooms.

Last year, oven was still functionable with us offing all the electrical appliances at home but this year, it simply won't work. Once the oven is turned on, it tripped the whole house. With no choice, I replaced my roast chicke with roast chicken from Carrefour and my toaster had to work extremely hard to replace my oven. At least all turn out well, the Christmas dinner looked decent and yummy.

Christmas - My favourite time of the year!!

Not sure about you, but for me Christmas is my most look forward time of the year. This is the time to enjoy, party, show appreciation to your loves one and listen to the wonderful Christmas songs. The festive atmosphere just make everything looks and feels better.

We love gift exchange because of the excitement and anticipation of receiving a gift from your love one. The gift is more than a gift, it is the thought and the effort that the person put in when choosing and buying the gift that count. Recently, I am disappointed by a gift that I got, not because of the value but mainly on the fact that it is too thoughtless and conventient gift to be given. Last year, the same thing happened, the gift from the same person was obviously a free gift that she got long time ago and she conveniently use it for the gift exchange. What goes around comes around, if you do not put in effort, sincere heart and love in handling friendship, don't expect the impossible from the rest.

This is a lesson but it is not going to spoil my Christmas, I still have parties to attend and friends that i love and I know they love me too.

My first Christmas Tree

After 30 years, I finally bought my first ever Christmas Tree. Went to concourse to for our Christmas shopping and I really hope I can bring back a Christmas Tree and I finally did. Our Christmas Tree is not the traditional Pine tree but a happening dazzling silver cone. Hahaha, simply love my Christmas tree.

By the way, Louis spotted something different while we were shopping for a tree. He saw this cute reindeer and he must bring him home....
