Christmas 2014!

Apart from spending Christmas in Korea last year, I received several presents when I went back to office a few days after! Did not expect my desk to be swamped by all the thoughtful gifts! 

From bosses, colleagues and friends!

All unwrapped! Really everything is so practical! I can either use or eat it! Haha!

Also met up with the girlfriends for a super belated xmas gift exchange! Dinner was at Para Thai, a new thai food concept by Paradise Group. We ordered several dishes and there were hits and misses!

They should really make an effort in food presentation I feel. The fish was yummy but the rest were just average. Nonetheless the company makes up for it!

Jas got lots of big presents cause she ask for baby stuff for her son!

And my present from the 3 of them! Another MJ perfume added to the collection! Forgot to take a photo!

Insert photo grabbed from the net!

Really love the smell of it! Marc Jacobs perfume never fail! :D

Spam of our selfies/wefies! Same same but different!

Has it been more than 10 years of friendship already? I hope our friendship strives on till we are all old and wrinkly! :D

Basilico @ Regent Hotel

Few weeks back, I went to have a round of lunch buffet at Regent Hotel with my colleagues! It's an Italian restaurant so there were a lot of eye candies around hehe. It was a really impromptu suggestion and it was decided while we were queuing to get our annual health screening done. LOL. Quite a bad idea cause we took half day at the very last minute. :x

They have a wide selection of entrees for us to choose from. I was quite noob on what's nice so I just try a bit of everything. So many different kinds of cured meat that my friend strongly recommend me to go with a slice of melon and indeed the combination was divine! :D

So many different kinds of cheese and it was so surprising that they go so well with grapes! Italians love everything to go with fruits?

And then was the main course, some stew, curry puffs, fried rice, pasta, pizza and the likes!

Super love all these cherry tomatoes, baked potatoes and veggies!

At the meaty section where it's all roast pork, beef etc.

What I had!

Desserts! Gelato for you?

Cakes, pastries. tarts!

For sharing!

And then my multi lingual friend went to approached the Italian chef and manager for a photo together using her very fluent Italian!  We were teasing how the chef and my friend looks quite compatible. HAHA.

This round of lunch buffet cost me close to $80?! Busted a week's worth of my lunch allowance, but at least it's once in a long long while. Hehe.! Went shopping thereafter and ended our day on a really relaxing note. Definitely should do this more often! :)

Off to prepare and watch Gone Girl with the boy!! Tata!

Season of Joy and Giving 2013!

Holy Moly this is super backlogged.. Hee. Blogging about Christmas here! Did not make it in time to blog before 2013 ends so here it is HAHA.

Anyway pardon the super pixelated photos cause it was all taken using my phone. :((

I'm so happy to be celebrating the joyous season, immersing in the season and doing gift exchange with so many of my lovely friends around me! :)

First up was with the girls!! We queued for really long on 23 Dec cause it's a Friday and everybody went to town! We only had our dinner at 8+pm cause the queue was so long at Peperoni Pizzeria!

The food was quite bad, pizza barely warm when it was served. Not quite the same experience as the other outlet which I visited. But glad the company makes up for it hehe!

Desserts at Gelare for more catching up and gift exchange!

The big ones are all for Jasline's baby!! HAHA!

Before I move on, insert super chio romper of mine which I wore for xmas shopping! Love the cobalt colour and the back hehe. I'm having a romper craze recently despite the fact that they make toilet trips very inconvenient, so I always try not to drink too much. LOL.

With the boyyy 

Insert another random photo of us lol. Notice how I like to plop my head on top of his shoulder whenever we are taking photo! Hehe.

Had our belated monthsary dinner at Kim Gary on Xmas Eve!

First time trying Baked Spaghetti with Twin Sauce (Creamy & Tomato) but it taste alright..

Christmas trees everywhere!!

Self shot FAIL.

Photo taken a week before Christmas! Tree by Tiffany & Co!

Check out the pink log cake!!! Because chocolate log cake is too mainstream wahaha!

Hohoho!

Presents from the girlfriends!

Sunblock and nautica bikini set from Ting, Eye cream from Jas and Meiji Amino Collagen from Wei! All in my wishlist! Happy like mad! 

Xmas day was spent waking up later than usual and had Mac breakie at 12pm! It was a stay-in kinda day :)

Gift exchange with dearest Hammie on 26th!

Happy us with our pressies!

So thoughtful of Hammie to prepare something for the boy too! Thank you Dearest! :D

Each gathering is so heartwarming and close to my heart, I wish we will continue to be like this in the years to come. :)
