2 things

eheh! i'm starting a new label for my posts called 2 things!

it'll be for any random thot that comes to my mind, thots that could be the possible answer for a situation... i'm not so good in explaining.. so i'll just give an example k...

2 things: when your date brings u to a restaurant that has no other customers

1: he's soO sweet (not to mention rich) he booked the entire restaurant so he can be there alone with u

2: he chose a BAD restaurant :P

eheh! this is so i can keep my blog updated MOST of the time when i dont have any picture posts... like NOW! cause i left my camera in church on Sun!!! (yes! i couldnt believe it either!) it's with Mei Fong tho.. so dont panic ppl :P

Dot is... Going for GARLIC CHEESE NAAN now!

Dinner with the Tans

On Christmas day, we had our extended family invited to our place for dinner! mom cooked =) i helped clean the house :D
i was so tired after that so i went to bathe and KO-ed for an hour... after that... was PARTY time!
relatives started comin in family by family...
cousin Alex and gf brought some party hats and packs... Ah Cheng cheh cheh insisted the hosts should wear the hats...
so voila! eh.. i is DOT k! of course i'll take the most GLAM 1! :P
oh Jo!! see the T i'm wearing? *teehee* it's soO cute! so i couldnt resist wearing it! :D (but i think i need to work on my tummy so it'll look nicer on me.. :( )

around 7pm, half of the guests arrived... and that's my bro with the santa hat.. he looks like an ELF doesnt he? :P

while waiting for the rest to come, we did some caroling
led by daddy and mommy's cell leader, Mr. Lee =)

as u can see... most of them were distracted...
cause MORE relatives came!

mom had a plan for the dinner, she wanted it to be evangelistical cause not all of our extended family members were Christians. so after caroling, we played the All I Want for Christmas that we did for LIITA. hehe! i was the game master la =) then Mr. Lee shared a lil about the true meaning of Christmas and it was MAKAN time!

this is Co-en, the 1st of the 4th generation of the Tan family =)

Veron cheh cheh and Elliot (happening name eh? :P)

wahahaha! my popo and ME! :D

yes, i repeat, it was MAKAN time!!!

:D

no pics were taken after this cause
#1: i was busy eating, so was my bro...
#2: we got sick of the terrible lighting (I WANT A NEW CAMERA!!!!)

the dinner was pretty cool, we had a total of 40 ppl stuffed in our humble home =)
credit goes to my mom for taking the time to unite all our relatives on Christmas Day =)

Backdated

these were the happenings before Sexy was brought home :D

a week before our finals, we (Sab, Yue and i) went for SEGi's CF's Christmas Bash :D
in the pic is SANDRA! she was one of the emcees that evening :D

few days later, teman-ed my bro for a field trip in Sime Darby Healthcare Centre (formally known as SJMC) i still think SJMC sounds nicer! and i was born there! so how can they just change the name! pfft!
had to go to a few places..

the Imaging dept was 1 of them.
i passed the blood bank too! wanted to take a pic of it.. but i shy la :P

btw, i didnt just go there to walk aimlessly and take bad-lighting pics la.. was there with my bro cause he had to see the doc about the lump on his chest.

THEN! i went home to do...
my photography scrapbook assignment :D
likety-like how the flash hits on the title, leaving the rest of the book in the shadows.. looks like a spotlight was hiting on my book eh? :P

the colors of my scrapbook :D

ha! so my bro went to remove the lump.
according to the report, it's non-malicious. Praise the Lord! :D
but it's pretty big! looks like those "ka-na" (some pickled fruit in hokkien.. i think) seed.. gross!

mom wasnt around after koko's surgery.. so we had to eat out (thank U Jesus for my mommy) since koko cant eat chicken (some traditional belief) neither can he eat beef (again... the traditional belief) so i suggested we went to Salmon Steak for LAMB! emm emmMMM!! BUT! my dad... the genius... said no... Logenhaus, Taipan is better... so ok lo... as long as i get my lamb i'm happy :P

daddy's chicken with rice

koko and i had lamb
the verdict: NOT NICE! the lamb was too dry and tasteless! BOO!! and it's more expensive than Salmon Steak! DOUBLE boo!
but their garlic rice was yummy tho! :D

after my finals... didnt do much... wanted to play online games.. but as u know.. my com died.. ROAR! so i bumed..
then it was Grace's bday on the 6th, a Sat... cell was on Fri... so being the ever-so-LOVELY cell leader that i am... got an idea of a bday gift!
TADA!!! i uber love this T... but then ar... suddenly i felt shame while thinking of getting it for myself... (i'm not always so no shame 1 k... :P)
and it struck me that Grace would love it and carry it off.. so we (the cell) got it for her lo! =)

the Cake... this aint no ordinary cake... look closely at the writings on it ;)

a decent pic of us... but Jo was moving a lil too much i guess.. so she's blurred...
when i said decent... i meant BASIL!
SEE what i mean?

and of course.. i meant everyone else too when i said decent :P

Grace: Tissue box ar?
Foo: MAYBE?
if u look closely... u can actually see that it IS a tissue box!
not just ANY tissue box mine u... it's the Kleenex Disney Princess series ya! :P

hehe! but we all know what's in it by now :P

:D

i broke my shopping fast in TIME SQUARE! now how sad is that?
well.. actually it was so saddening la.. cause i got...
hehe! camwhore shot! :P
... THIS! :D
i oh-so-love this vest! pin-striped with a back-tie thingy! :D
but that was all i bought for myself through out the hols :(
anybody wanna bring me out shopping? :D

OH-the-HORROR!
remember i mentioned in my previous post that a roach made me run?

ROAR! it was in the toilet roll!!! and i HELD the toilet roll... so CLOSE to me!!! THEN! i saw those 2 thingies (what do u call them? anthenna? i bet not.. but u know what i mean :D) AND!!! i saw it's FACE!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so i THREW the toilet roll...

oh... sorry... this was when i actually~

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cause the FREAK came flying towards me!!!

the CUE struck me...

ran out, shut the door, got the ridsect, opened the door a lil... saw IT standing on the toilet seat cover!! PFFT! i just sprayed with all my might

oh yue! remember u asked me what i've been doing thru out my hols... which started on the 5th but was OH SO BORING because my com died and cash was a limiting factor to the frequency of me goin out! ROAR!

so yes! i did SUDOKU! :D
finally realise i could actually do it (without seeing the answers of course, altho i occasionally do to check if i'm on the right track :P) while i was still studying for my finals :D YES! i was THAT easily distracted from my books... even SUDOKU could distract me *shy*

since i've got nothing better to do or should i say... nothing better that i WANT to do... :P i did sudoku whenever my dad remembers to buy the papers :D

Visited Sab's youth group's play- Life's Puzzle (pics are at Yue's blog)

hehe! went all the way there.. die die must camwhore a bit la :P

Foo and Tay :D

OH! FINALLY! my LATEST update!
TODAY! oh... it's 1.15am now... so fine.. YESTERDAY...
went with Em and her family to this dessert shop's opening to test out their desserts. the shop's called Snowflake.
these are a few of the desserts they had up for tasting..
it's quite complicated to explain every bowl...
therefore i'll just explain mine la k!
it's tauhua based, with sweet potato toppings.
i realised i like my tauhua warm/hot... they had ice shavings in my syrup which diluted the syrup... so ya.. that's 1 boo boo for them. but the environment was nice and clean tho! so 1 thumbsup!
gah! so hard to decide if i'll go back there again!
in moments like this... the PRICE plays a BIG part, BUT! we didnt know the price of our desserts cause we tasted them for free...
so... MAYBE i MITE go there again to check for the warm selections la..

:D i'm still VERY happy to have my internet connection back! :D
the next few days' gonna be BUSY BUSY!! cause CHRISTMAS is HERE!!! WOOHOO!!!!


SMILES :)
