On Tuesday, December 25, 2007
met up with Vivi, Janice, Tiffany and her colleague Kate for Xmas dinner gathering on Christmas eve.
we were all supposed to buy one present each and draw lots to see whose gift we'll receive.
a budget of $20+/$30+ was set and a category agreed on. which in our case was "bag/wallet".
woke up too late on that day and dilly dallied at home for too long.
planned to buy present before meeting, so went down to
bugis.
was in town to transfer train but the bf called and turned out both of us were in town.
i was holding on to
alot of stuffs cause i was supposed to be staying over at his place for that night.
so i had a bag full of my clothes and creams, and a paper bag containing my slippers and also holding on to my bike helmet.
Alfred was a dear and offered to take my helmet for me so that i
dont have to hold so many things when shopping.
met him and Hui Wei at
Heeren and Alfred actually offered to fetch me to
Bugis the moment he knew i was going alone.
Hui Wei was nice enough to tag along together (:
had my first meal of the day at the
foodcourt in
Bugis Junction then headed to
Bugis Village to get the present.
Alfred wanted to accompany me but Hui Wei wanted air-con. so i persuaded him to go gaming with Hui Wei cause i will be fine alone.
the bf then offered to fetch me to City Hall to meet the girls after
im done with my shopping.
i cant express how much gratitude i have for this monkey.
he saved me
alot of time travelling and on top of that he warmed my heart (:
met the girls and amazingly we found a table at Cafe Cartel, Raffles City.
Jack's Place was full when we tried to make reservations a few days back and we
didnt bother about Fish & Co. glass house cause
im sure the result would be the same.
and Cafe Cartel
didnt allow reservations on Christmas eve.
so we had to try our luck, and fortunately luck was on our side.
had fun gossipping and catching up.
Janice got my present and i got Kate's!
i loved the bag i bought as a gift and hope Janice likes it too (:
went
Chijmes after that and Eugene, Gary,
Tai Yu,
Hong Sheng and Shawn came to find us for a short while.
but
couldnt find the right atmosphere in any of the bars so we girls headed to One Fullerton for Starbucks.
Alfred came down together with Martin not long after i got my chocolate frappe to fetch me.
deposited my stuffs in Martin's car and went on Alfred's bike.
met Jack, his gf Fiona and his campmate at 四面佛 to have supper.
we were there brainstorming for ideas on where to go.
and someone suggested monopoly.
off we went to Mustafa to get the Singapore Edition Monopoly
cause Martin wanted to build hotels at Geyland and Joo Chiat. lol!
we all then went down to ECP. Hao Ming joined us there but we couldnt find a place to play there.
so the lot headed to Pasir Ris Park and we sat down on the ground to play monopoly.
3 declared bankrupt and the remaining 3 were all too bored and hungry to continue so we said whoever gets the Free Parking money would be the winner.
and we didnt even bother to build anymore houses or collect tax, just kept throwing the dice till the winner emerged.
and... the winner is Alfred and me!! lol.
had breakfast at Whampoa Market and Alfred stayed on after that to help out at his mum's stall while i went back to his place to shower and sleep.
he only helped out till about 9 then he woke me up to open the door for him.
and we slept allll the way to 6pm then met Jack, Hao Ming and Martin bb for dinner.
spent some time at his place before he sent me home before booking into camp.
thats how i spent my Christmas. (:
quiet but fulfilling.
i just need LYME to make it complete.
thanks Guo for the Xmas card!
and thank you so much giant bro.
your card definitely made my day brighter!
