Cousins Outing - 29 Dec 07



Luo came back again for Xmas so we decided to have a cousins outing to catch up... it was set on Saturday. Soo sad that Hanping and Kun An last minute cannot make it and Zhang (our ever bubbly Zhang) fell ill and had to see a doc... so had to give the outing a miss. Anyway there were a total of 7 of us ( Luo, Lingwei, Jia, Huixian, Hanjie - new addition, Me and CK) Jia suggested to go to Ichiban for lunch and KTV after that, so we had lunch at AMK Hub's Ichiban and KTV at Serangoon Garden's K Garden ( 老地方). After KTV we were all too full for dinner.. so stood outside the shop and discussed where to go later... there were 4 suggestions in total - (1) bowling (2) fish prawns (3) minds cafe (4) huo guo (steamboat). Because earlier it rained, Lingwei, Huixian and Jia voted for huo guo... so it's HUO GUO!
Drove down to Bugis for Huo Guo... I think Luo missed the food here... he was indulging in the Tom Yam pot and ended up his lips were like sausages... hehe! Anyway, we really ate our fill... Great! It was time to go home... Had lots of fun last night... It would be better if Zhang, Hanping and Kun An can join us.
Well, there will definitely be another time. The next gathering this festive season will be the COUNTDOWN... whose house will it be? Wat are we going to do?? We better start planning, young adults!!!

Xmas Party at Bishan Loft 07

This year's family Christmas party was at Bishan Loft. Xiaoyi managed to book the much-sought after function room, so we had a nice place to eat and relax... We had lots of food - Spagetti, Bee Hoon, Fried Rice, Potato Salad, Sweet and Sour Pork, Otah, Fishballs, Baked Chicken Wings, Turkey, Snacks, Chocolates, Water Melon (just to name a few)
We also have lots of photos to share... cos this Dec many of us went for holiday - Ching Tamps and Loh to Japan. My parents to China Beijing. My sis to HK and me to Taiwan.After dinner it's time for games. We played musical chairs in the function room and it was really FUN! Then we have photo taking session. This year the dress code is "Wear either RED or GREEN". It's just great that most of us did follow the instructions. So we took a photo for the RED people and then another one for the GREEN people....haha!! So cute. We then had more fun upstairs. We played some other funny games that Uncle Mia Yong tot of and the traditional Blanket Game. They were really very comical. Seriously everybody was panting and laughing after the games. Then its time for PRESENTS!!! This year the presents looked very inviting.... alot of effort was put in wrapping the gifts. We had the honour of 4 presenters this year - Zhen, Darren, Byan and JJ.... So at least the rest of us could relax and wait for our names to be called to collect the presents. The gifts were great! I really loved all the presents... A BIG THANKS to all!!
Soon Christmas was here, the countdown started.... MERRY CHRISTMAS~~~ Yr 2007 is almost over already... now we awaits a GREAT 2008 to come!!
