Dairy of my last 2 weeks of 2006...

18th Dec 2006 (Monday) - 2nd last day of work for the year...Was shopping at Takashimaya in the evening for Xmas presents for friends... And last mintue, i tried my luck to ask Jean, Jasmine and Yunxian out for dinner... AND THANK GOD, being so busy ususally, Jean managed to meet us for dinner.... Yunxian was nearby and she agreed too, Jasmine was busy at work, so i "forced" her to meet us for awhile after work... so that i can pass her her xmas pressie! was a great nite with them! OH... it's Dawn's birthday.... Hope she likes my present mailed to her to Brisy!

19th Dec 2006 (Tuesday) - last day of work for the year.... Gave Xmas pressies to my colleagues... took some funny pix in office... Went back to CCK for my parents... and went to Sengkang for Dinner at Alvin's place. We went back early coz we planned to go JB the next day..

20th Dec 2006 (Wednesday)- My 1st day of leave starts... Alvin's on leave too! We went JB, Tebrau City, to shop... BUT becoz of the heavy rain a few days ago.... their power supply system screwed up... and the whole shopping mall was closed! DARN! it was abt RM$20 cab fare to get there.... plus some jam on the road! And abt RM$20 back to CITY SQUARE! DARN!!! So finally, we shop in City Square... and even watched a movie, Gridiron Gang- coming soon in Singapore, for only S$3 each of us! We had jap food at City Square... It was not bad... Both of us love jap food, esp. sashimi.. Yummy! We went back not very late.... coz we are heading to Batam the next morning....

21st and 23rd Dec 2006 (Thursday to Saturday) - We went Batam for 2 nights... Spent alot on this trip on FOOD and SPA... just expenses alone in Holiday Inn is already S$300++. Holiday Inn is our resort for a short getaway.... good service, some of the staffs recognise us as their regular guest... We feel good!

24th Dec 2006 (Sunday) - It's Xmas Eve!!!! Guess wat! We went to the Zoo in the day.... Weather wasn't really friendly that day... but thank god, that it was only drizzling.

And in the evening... we went Jack's Place for dinner.... :p it was a 4 course main...Prawn and Salmon Salad, Soup, Steak as main dish, ice-cream log cake as dessert. And we ordered an extra half dozen oyster! Yummy! And we didn't really hang around Orchard Road... becoz there's heaps of ppl... So we went back to our "love Hut".

25th Dec 2006 (Monday) - It's XMAS! Didn't go anyway... coz Alvin gotta work the next day.... so we decided to cook at home... for the first time ever since we rented this place. We had Prawn salad, Pasta with Pesto sause (i cooked that!) and roasted pork knuckle.

26th to 30th Dec 2006 (Tuesday to Saturday) - I thought i would be shopping till i drop this whole week.... But i don't have the mood to do it.... Funny! instead... almost everyday, i went back to CCK to be with my parents. My brother's on annual leave too.... feel so good to spend those few afternoons with my dad, mum and brother and my little niece - Hazel! And yes, she knows how to say her name! COOL! She's 1 now! On the 29th Dec 2006, i met up with my girlfriends for dinner.... a surprise birthday bash for Jannie... see my blog below 3 HOURS OF SLEEP for our pix!

31st Dec 2006 (Sunday) - We did nothing fantastic on new year's eve! sigh... nothing to celebrate... why are we celebrating new year? Everyone's getting old, more responsibilities... so sad. We watched A Night at the Museum and we went back home slightly before the midnight... So pactically, we were counting down at home! haa haa.... We were back early mainly becoz we need to leave for BATAM the next morning. "YES, BATAM again!" haa haa... tha'ts Alvin's idea!

1st and 2nd Dec 2007 (Monday and Tuesday) - We were in Holiday Inn for 1 day, 1 night. Again, we spend abt s$200 there! On food, massage and facial for me. :) Spending too much this holiday... gotta go back to work to earn more money!

Typically, for the last 3 years this time of the year, i stayed at home with parents, do alittle spring cleaning of my room, laze around in the day and out for dinner with either alvin or friends. Well, although this year's long annual leave is different from the previous years, it was well spent...

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
