best behaved..

i must be the best behaved kid that i still have presents that are still not opened.. hahaha. last time when i was still a kid, i would sneak opened the presents before the 24th and quietly wrapped them back properly. its the 27th already, i have yet to open them nor even sneak peeked. another sign of growing old. hahaha.

the day after christmas.

百年好合

汤圆-团团圆圆，和睦幸福

breakfast spread.

for better or for worse,

for richer, for poorer,

in sickness and in health,

to love and to cherish;

from this day forward until death do us part.

YAMMMYAMMMMYAMMMMMMMMMMMMM-SENG!

its christmas eve again. celebrated at princess' fren, j's place again. but there is no french loaves, no diamond rings, no surprise proposals this year. just good old steamboat like always and a new addition to the group - baby lebouf!

finally get to see him! =)

cute eh?

but i think he is not amused by me.. =(

and why should i be surprise? he is a baby with character ok! have you heard of a baby that doesnt like pacifier and need a noisy surrounding to sleep.

i guess i only have this big baby to entertain me for the night. =(






we ate till we are full and had our 3rd annual christmas exchange presents. this year, we "upgraded" a little - budget set at $15. =D

and us with the presents!

our usual practice, we would number the presents people would pick the numbers from a cup. picture of the giver and receiver of the present would be taken. this is because so that people wont dare to anyhow buy cheap present, cus at the end of the day, would be posted online for ALL to see. presents would then be ripped open immediate and verdict would be passed if the present would be banned for next year's exchange present.

so this on the ban list:

#1.

USB fan.

eh.. i tot this one last year already ban.. lol

#2.

USB vacuum.

but this vote a bit confusing..

but this year still ok lah. not so much banned gifts. hahaha. but we have one present that got the "most creative" prize.

it comes in a big box too!

everyone was aiming for that present.

see how happy they are..

a dancing christmas tree!

everyone was laughing so hard

when the "big present" was revealed,

even the cameraman -

see how shaky the photo is.. LOL.

and everyone was like "wth is that!?"

anyway, after the gift exchange, we sat around chit-chat and played drinking games till wee hours. =)

random photo of princess trying out his new suit. =D

merry christmas everybody. =)

another annual family christmas gathering. after like 20+ christmas gatherings, the novelty had already worn off. the presents get lesser and more practical eat year. and christmas gathering would be like any other gathering during the year.

okok.. i am just sulking cus i am as poor as a church mouse now and i cant shop nor buy presents for people and myself. =( and its just isnt helping as everywhere also have sale. was so sad when i went to vivo to buy the exchange present for office. can see but cannot buy. argh.

anyway, went to aunt e house after work today. she ordered buffet. the food was nice but they gave us a few wrong dishes. and since we ordered buffet for 30 pax, they provided 30 pieces of serviettes and drinks enough for 30 people to have a 3/4 cup each. (-_-")

anyway, after dinner we went up the to the house where they played game and sang song while i stayed in cousie princess room to play with joey.

the three monster sleeping in bed.

this playful little monster went up the bed and

play with them!

she really loves to play.

cant stop laughing when you play with her.

never seen her so smiley.

it hc birthday again

but dont ask me how old is he already.

pretty little kamie.
