hahahs xmas was as usual, FANTASTIC!
its christmas! what more is there to say?
food, presents, family, frens! can there be any other perfect combination?
this xmas, i went to a total of 3 christmas dinners this year!
luckyy luckyy me! (maybe its to make up for my missing xmas dinner last year! lols!)
1st xmas dinner this year was steamboat at laogong's place.
i haven't eaten steamboat in the longest time!!
yeahh, although there's alot of stuff i don't eat,
but i still enjoy steamboats to the MAX! xDD
dinner was yummmy-licious!
andd there's my absolute favourite part of xmas.....
.

LOG CAKE!!!!!
*what will i do without you during xmas??*
laogong's aunt bought it, chocolate with yoghurt centre!
ultimate sweetness!! xDD
2nd xmas dinner was at homeee~(24th dec)
my parents bought a TURKEY from cold storage.
(still got alot alot left in the fridge lahs, i've been eating turkey sandwich for breakfast for the past few days since 24th)
laogong was coming over for dinner too!
my sisters and panu brought one fren along as well!
so it was rather crowded for christmas dinner as compared to the usual 6 of us only.
i got a shock at how big the turkey was okay,
when i saw it lying there on the kitchen tabletop!
i know now that when Mr. bean got his head stuck in the turkey,
they weren't exaggerating about the turkey's size!
i used to laugh thinking its a really stupid thing that a person's HEAD can enter a turkey's butt.
plus, i had always thought the turkey was fake!
come on, how BIG can one turkey grow?
okay, but they weren't kiddingg..
.
.
i don't even know how it can FIT in the microwave,
which isn't very big btw.
i can nearly imagine my parents huffing and puffing to stuff the turkey into the microwave!
but i thinkk it fit in perfectly~
my mom also cooked curry chicken,
my absolute fav!
although that's not really christmas dinner material,
its an exception for her curry because it raeally goes well with anything, anywhere!
she also bought tons of sushi, andd nearly the entire bakery!
there was so much bread to go around.
dinner was yummy but i've never been more fullin my life!
my sis made brownies that afternoon,
which she served as dessert together with vanilla ice cream.
delicious, but i knocked my plate off the table by accident and there goes my dessert,
even had ice cream splattered all over my shirt.
i cannot be happier that dinner was at home so i could easily select another shirt from my cupboard and change immediately!
could i be any more careless? lols.
that day has gotta be my careless day cos i was trying to serve val's fren, april, some salad when i accidentally swung back, and my elbow knocked into her head,
andd the veggies that i had kiap-ed with the tongs ended up in her curry.
luckily, i knocked someone who's very giggly,
andd she just ended up laughing,
along with everyone who saw that incident happen.
my dad bought champagne specially for xmas as well,
andd we all got a chance to drink it!
first time drinking champagne for me,
andd i love it!
there really is this bubbly, fizzy taste to it!
i could get addicted to it, seriously. lols.
countdown for xmas was together with laogong.
no we didn't go to town, neither did we go anywhere else.
just slacked at home cos it was already pretty late to go anywhere else and i had a curfew at 2..
so much for curfews, my sis only got home at 7 the next morning, even when the 2 o clock curfew applied to her.
i'm never believing in curfews again.
i love laogong's present! wahahahs.
it was a musical box, with the cutest ever little handle,
when i turn the handle, i can produce the SWEETEST, most tingly tune ever!
i kept turning and turning it just so i could listen to the tune over and over again!
i hope its lasting and will allow me to keep turning it continuously without breaking!
i have to be very careful with it,
i absolutely can't break it! its wayyy to precious~
woke up the next morning to something GREAT!
.
.
.
LOGCAKE AGAIN!!!
this one was given by cold storage,
compliments for purchasing the turkey.
100%chocolate!
i polished off 1/4 of the cake that morning,
and the other 1/2 of it the next morning for breakfast!
nobody else wanted to eat it,
how cann anyone NOT wanna eat something so fantastically delicious?
i would die without logcakes for xmas! lols!
that night, laogong's extended family was holding a chalet at pasir ris,
andd that was my 3rd xmas dinner!
how luckyy that their extended family can celebrate xmas together with all their cousins.
yx was there too! wahahahas.
the food was good, i thinkk their grandparents must have passed down the right culinery skills to the other generations.
most of the food was cooked by dear's relatives,
andd it was not bad at all!
dear also cann cook well, same goes for yx.
i'm beginning to suspect if one's cooking skills are hereditary..
if it is, i must have gotten mine from my dad.
he cannot tell the difference between a garlic and ginger if you ask him,
andd his legendary rice is neither rice not porridge when he cooks it without a rice cooker!
his stir-fried veggies are also extremely tasty cos he added nearly 1/3 the bottle of oyster sauce.
yepp, my cooking skills are definitely from him! =DD
reached home pretty late that night,
but thanks to the coffee, i was able to survive until 4+ without feeling like i'm about to drop dead any minute, still had energy to talk to laogong on the phone for awhile before i really went off to dreamlandd~
26th december:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY YANLAN!
finally, all of us are 18!!!! lols.
we don't have to leave you outside the cinema when we're gonna watch M18 movies le! xDD
it was a busy dayy cos my entire house was about to be repainted!
you cannot imagine how TIRING it is to repaint the house by yourself!
just finished painting the balcony,
but yesterday, we did my room!
luckily, dear came over to help out!
my and my sis gave up halfway~
hahahas.
its really not an easy feat.
BUTBUTBUT, my room is now coated in a warm orange-peachy colour and i ABSOLUTELY ADORE IT!
the walls were already tough enough to handle,
but the ceiling was the worst part!
not only do you have to crane your neck to breaking point,
the energy needed to not only hold the paintbrush up,
but also to paint the ceiling is enough to kill your arms.
my arms are currently, still sore.
what can i say, i failed inclined pull-ups,
my arm muscle, is ZERO!~ lols.
BUT we had fun messing around with the ceiling before we painted it!
mwahahahas!
xDD
dear did the word "love" and i did the word "justin"
its not simple at all, i had to jab the ceiling repeatedly to form his name!
hahahs but it looks so good there!
if only we didn't have to paint it over~ lols.
andd after an entire day of hard work~
.
.
.
the end product!
okays, can't really see from this picture.
when i have the time and energy,
i'll take a nicer pic.
the orange colour of the wall really makes my room looks brand new!
wahahas. i love the colour alot,
no matter how weird it sounds to paint my wall orange!
andd my parents got me a BLING lava lamp for my xmas present!
its not the normal lava that moves up and down,
mine has like silvery glittery glitter that circulates within the lamp,
and when i turn it on at night,
it fills my whole room up with ripples,
very much like light on reflected water!
its absolutely STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL andd it is mesmerising to watch the blings float about in the lamp!
its gonna be my new nightlight and i'll be able to have a good sleep every night!
(that's until the electricity bills come in next month and my parents start nagging at me not to have my lamp turned on every single night.)
shall worry about that another time~
laogong's got sore throat, falling sick alreadyy! :(
get lots of rest rest rest and drinkkkk alot alot alot of water!
don't fall even more sick!
the only good thing about him getting sore throat is that his voice is super sexyy now. LOLS!
its so super low and rough~ xDD
laogong, you must take caree and not fall even more sickk~
[[ theres only one thing two do three words four you, i love you~ ]]
