MeRry ChrisTmaS 2010

Merry Christmas! HoHoHo!!!

it's really the season to get faaat!!!!! so many foooooddddd these days courtesy of the sales side (although i really hateeee them!!).... i've been eating eating and eatinggggg....

team lead's and colleague's bday in dec... so on xmas eve, we also celebrated their bdays..

there wasnt any celebration this yr by the dept.. but juz so one of the colleagues is retiring, she ordered pizzas  for us to eat.... and so, aptly it became a celebration..

really pizza overdose!

and then some pic takings...

my presents this yr...

me and the team lead who intervierwed and recruited me. she's no longer my immediate team lead, cuz i changed team, remb? but still, deep in my heart, i thank her for giving me the opportunity to get out of collections and try something different. for the better, or maybe for the worse. but im still appreciative of the chance, which i know many others are dying for. and know wad? she's a crescentian tooo!!!!

and then.. it was back to work before we were officially released at 3pm.

met hubb.. and shopped around orchard central...

dinner was at this korean restaurant in central. had their xmas set which was $88++ for 2pax.

~ appetixer~

~ still appetixer... they are vvv small little plates and small portion.. though from the pics they look like big plates..~

~ yummmmyyy korean porridge. very small little bowl too ~

i was half complaining how come everything are in such small portion and sooo expensive, when the two zhong4 tou2 xi4 came..

that explains why the 88 bucks huh?

hubb with the bigggg octupus

~ dessert.. ~

the food's not bad.. the service are good also. notice a few of the crew and the chefs are koreans. not a bad place.. but i still prefer korean bbq than normal korean food.

and towards mid-night, we caught the mark lee's comedy at PS. the 12oclock was spent inside the cinema, so no countdown. hiak. notice this yr not that many ah neis in orchard anymore. good thing huh.

and so, merry merrry meerrrrry christmas to all!!

counting down to the arrival of 2011!! yoohoo!!

SeaSon To Get Fat

celebrated mum's bday this yr at beng hiang restaurant. it's tt kind of standard chinese 8 course meal. costed about $400+. A real bargain if i were to hold my wedding dinner there yea? sure profit one! :)

happy birthday mama!!

*****

xmas dinner with my team mates at pan pacific hotel. eh, apparently, it's not the pan pac at marina.. but the pan pac at orchard. mm... located near isetan scotts at some ulu corner...

the place was rather dark.. so the pics did not turn out well.. i had to edit them b4 posting.. so the color may be abit off and not that natural yeah...

the food here....are NO GOOD. disappointment yet again. the food are NOT fresh. i dont know wad kind of soy sauce they use.. but ít's wayyyyy tooo saltish and that totally spoilt the already-not-so-fresh sashimi. the crabs, the oysters.... all are not too good.

desserts.. look very nice right.. but definitely do not taste as good! looks like there are a lot of choices, but if u really look carefully, all are quite crappy one. and the macarons.... are so hard.... haii.. plain disappointment.

cost was about $40 per pax, after card discount. but just like melting pot, it's not worth it at all. the variety and ambience are ok.. but the freshness is really not there. plain crap.

*****

another good old fren whom i managed to meet up. peihong, all the way back in jc time!! think we havent met each other since jc grad.. so tt's about 7yrs already! hahahah.. she was never in the same class as me.. we got to know each other thru common frens when we were in the 1st 3mths. she's really one nice and wuxim gal lah, still remb me and sms me. and after realising we r working around the same area, we met up for lunch. this gal.. still as crappy as ever..

and look wad she got me! really sweeeet rite... :)

u know how when long lost fren suddenly out of the blue sms or call u and ask you out but only to introduce u to some insurance policies or some investments cuz they are some sorta agents now?

im telling u rite now, that if u havent been bothered to contact me then dont ever contact me juz cuz u want to intro me into buying something that u are selling. u are totally destroying our friendship and i will have nothing for u but plain disgust and disappointment.

yep. i have got frens like that and it's totally hurting to know that pple will only think of me when they want something out of me. it's sad. real sad.

so.. dont hurt me like that k?

ask my colleagues how happy i were after the lunch with peihong. it's really really good to meet up with pple whom u have lost for a long while given that the meet-up is true and genuine and not hoping something out of me.

u get wad i mean, yea?

*****

and so.. it's really the time for xmas!!

my 1st year celebrating xmas in a different dept.. but sadly.. it seems like there'll be no department celebration this yr. boohooo....

anyway, xmas is never my cup of tea. in fact, i hate xmas!

well, in anycase, merry advance xmas to all!!!!
