Christmas Eve 2008 @ My Place

Unlike other well planned gatherings, this hot pot night was organized very last minute. Adding more chaos into this event, the gathering was held at my place on the Chrismas Eve 2008 and the decision was made within 24 hours. Host and Hostess were Meiling and Ah Lun, guests included Joycip & Alex, Ah Yea, Connie & Ah Wang.

Ah Lun decided to make a Kimchi Hotpot he had made when we were still staying in Quarry Bay. He sucessfully kept up with the standard and the soup was very delicious (looks like everyone is happy with the new soup). Meanwhile, I started my house cleaning schedule from 10am today.

It was a really long day for me as the dinner was follwed by 2-hr movie 神探伽利略 at Tsing Yi GV Cinema at 11:40pm. It's actually a challenge for us as we had such a big dinner and we all felt very sleepy at some points. All in all, I think this is a good movie, beacuse I seldom watched its TV series.

Beautiful sunset behind the Great Buddha!!

Ngong Ping 360 - General Shots

We decided to go to Wetland Park today, unfortunately we only found out that the park is closed on Tuesday at the Tin Shui Wai Station. It has definitely ruined our mood after such a long journey.

I have decided to go to NP360 as a compensation. Ah Lun feels that we do not have enough time to explore NP360, but I insisted to try going beacuse it seems to me that everyone did not stay there for long.

We finally reached the cable car at 4.30pm and we left the attraction at 6ish when it is about to close.

Macau Family Trip 4 - Snap Shots

Macau Family Trip 3 - My Little Brother 阿占

Mom has become a little girl recently and she said she wants a monkey stuffed toy from Venetian before we go to Macau. To be frank, i think that monkey is adorable too and the price is reasonable. He is like mom's new baby, and we all have a new little brother - 阿占 / Jim Chan

Macau Family Trip 2 - Mom has a big appetite

Mom just got caught in having the almond cookies

I just discovered that mother has a very big appetite. She keeps eating in Macau from time to time, even after a proper lunch. The photos will not be wrong!

We stayed here because of its opening promotions. HKD1622 included 1 night stay, 2 breakfast and rountrip ferry tickets for 2. The price is not bad given that this is the peak Christmas period.

PolyU Gathering @ Christmas 2008

Visiting Judy & Susuki at Fu Wing Garden.

This is one of the gatherings with the best attendance performance. There are lots of house rules, so we behaved like disciplined school girls we did a long time ago. Christmas gifts were exchanged, and we had so much fun that night.

Christmas songs are beautiful! Do you like my selection on my playlist?

Laksa Night

This is the second time i cook LAKSA - one of the popular local dishes in Singapore!

It's easy to cook, and the taste is authentic, and it is something different from the instant noodles!! Most importantly, it looks like it is difficult to cook. Meiling is always finding ways to cheat. >O<
