tis' the season to be jolly

lots and lots of meetups and parties this christmas season. came back from jp's place earlier, and am soo tired. i dont have photos from all the parties, but they will all stay as nice memories in my mind - before they all get booted out by microB stuff. bah.

26th dec - lunch with ruth, grace, shiyun and fiona at Han's at the national library. lots of tales of ruth's travels and exploits as always, and this time, she's on the milo tin! i really have to go check that out.

after that was the wonderful xmas party at mirriam's house! that was truly great. the food was all good, i had rave reviews about my choc cake hooray, and i got a lot of lovely xmas presents from my doting friends! now that made me feel really guilty, because im not in the habit of sussing out xmas presents for people. i just have never done that, apart from maybe lawrence's xmas present last yr and this yr, but he's special. so i really apologise for the lack of presents this yr to all, esp marcus, cel, zj, joshua, and mirri, who so thoughtfully got me really gorgeous and sweet stuff! food was great! our potluck really worked very well, and everyone contributed great stuff =) wk's mum's glutinous rice, li's rendang that's really sedap!, joshua's sushi, enming's otah, weeming's pasta, marky's tang hoon and potato salad, bean's chicken pie, mirri's cottage pie, sandwiches etc, zj's tiramisu, my choc cake, cel's gorgeous log cake, i hope i didnt leave anyone's out!

and being amongst bffs, the atmosphere was just so relaxed and comfortable it was really good. =) and here's my cake getting zj's enigmatic stamp of approval.

lawrence and me on the mrt =) perhaps the last coupley shot for now.

wednesday saw me meeting up with yun, diane and liangsi for dinner and girly chats. di's whirlwind trip back frm 24-29 dec. it was fantastic to talk to these girls after soo long. dinner at glutton's square, and then dessert at menotti's half priced pastries after 10pm. a hilarious episode involving me and my dream long chain heart necklace which i finally saw at miss selfridge, but was gone after i stepped out of the store for 10mins to consider it. ohwells.

yun and i making new yr wishes on plastic balls in the esplanade. to be thrown in the bay to float around on new year's day.

and to end off, a hilarious picture at topshop.

no pictures from jp's party this evening im afraid. check out wenkien's blog for more pics of our bff xmas party and jp's party tonight!
