Catching up

I shall cheat and post a few non-related events into one post!! =D Need to catch up so that I can post more current stuff la.... hehe I don't want my blog to be sooooo ketinggalan zaman!! =P



So back to beginning of dec where Elisa is still very pregnant!! She actually had a false alarm and was admitted to the hospital. So we went to visit her after work.... Uncle was there earlier and me and aunty only came much later.... Uncle bought dinner for all of us and he and elisa was eating before we came.... All the nurses who went into the room thought that uncle is elisa's hubby!! haha They will be shocked to see another man in the delivery room!! haha




Photos with the drama mummy!! Usually when you are about to give birth you are in pain but this woman, she can still play and do all the nonsense!!!


Aunty also wanna be pregnant!!

As tradition, every year before Christmas we will have a SMART gathering for chirstmas gift exchange. This year is no exception. The venue was at MOS and we were quite a huge group and god knows how many glasses or jugs we broke that night!! Anyway, this year we have really creative, useless, funny and naughty gifts!! One of them actually bought a small hammer and a panty as gift!! There's also a glue gun and a panty as another gift!! How random is that!! Other funny gifts are vodoo your boss pack, which is a pack of all the things needed to vodoo your boss!! Then there is also this wrist rest that look, feel and even smell like a bun!!! And the buyer even creatively bought a real bun together with the hand wrist and put both buns inside a coffee bean paper bag!! Everyone thought it was buns!! One of them almost bite on it!!! Then someone even bought condoms!! Luckily I did not end up with either of these gifts!! I think I am the few lucky ones that got good decent gifts cause I got Haagen Dazs vouchers!! =D

Also had a dinner with my Mantec Project team of consultants before our two weeks break for christmas and new year!! The consultant that I am currently working with on our Laboratory Project is Ema (the one wearing a yellow top). She is from the Philippines and she is a Doctor as she has a PHD!! She also has multiple degrees / masters!! She has a degree in computer science, a nursing diploma, an MBA and also a PHD and I don't know what else she has!! Besides being a consultant for Mantec, she is also a professor for an online course in one of the university in Philippines, she has her own IT solution company in Philippines and also started a family business in manufacturing this cake called "Food for God" Its a really delicious cake (something like a fruit cake but instead of fruits, its sticky dates and walnuts!!) They only manufacture it for Christmas and its really popular in the Philippines!! As the name of the cake suggest, its so yummy that it fits to be served to God!!

Then on Christmas Day, my mimi made roast turkey!! YUMZ YUMZ!! It's almost 4kg and its really yummy!! I love the stuffing that my mimi made as well.... Since there were only four of us, there is no way that we could finish the whole turkey!! The next day my mimi made turkey stew with the left overs and its super yummy as well!!!!! =D


Whoever thinks that turkey meat is tough or that chicken is much nicer, obviously have not tried delicious turkey like the one made by my mimi =P (cause was arguing with someone who insisted that turkey is too expensive and waste of money cause its not nice and the meat is tough and chicken is much nicer than turkey!!! ish ish ish)

After christmas, its New Year!! I spent New Year's Eve with my Bristol gang =) (not everyone but majority from Bristol lar haha) We booked a 3 room apartment at the Legend's hotel in hope to see the KL fireworks in the comfort of the hotel. However, the view from our hotel was rather disappointing as the fireworks are too far away!! But we still had a great time there!!



Ta pau sushi for dinner as we didn't wanna drive out to avoid the jam and the crowd.


We also went to The Mall to ta pau KFC =D Then something really funny happened!! haha While we were ordering KFC at the counter, Yulin mentioned that since we bought so much they should give us a bottle of ketchup however, they only gave us packets of ketchup. Then on the way out, Justine just grabs a bottle of ketchup from one of the tables and walk out!! I didn't see it as I was walking behind but Yulin was telling me bout it and at that point of time, the KFC guy actually came running out towards us and calling for us to stop!! I was like shit!!! Are they gonna say we stole the bottle of ketchup!!!! How!!!! Me, Yulin and Thomas was walking behind while the rest was way in front!! Then to our relief, the KFC guy said we forgotten our popcorn chicken!! *LUCKILY!!* Then Thomas followed the KFC guy to collect the popcorn chicken that we left..... While me and Yulin was waiting outside..... Then Val called to ask where we were..... so at that point of time we just got this idea to scare them and so Yulin said that they found out bout the ketchup and Thomas is now trying to settle with them!! haha *gotcha!* While walking towards them, we informed Thomas of our plan and told him that he have to follow our story and tell the others what he has discussed with the KFC guy. haha So he told them that he have to pay the guy RM100 to shut him off..... Justine kept apologizing and looks really worried while the three of us have to control ourselves and not laugh out loud!! We didn't even rehearse or plan anything..... But to the others it was soooo believable!! Then while in the lift on the way back to our room we couldn't control anymore and told them the truth!! haha!! This is why!!! Don't do things you are not supposed to and you don't have to be scared or guilty!!!



Naughty Justine posing with her bottle of ketchup!!


After dinner, some were showering, some were playing wii, and i am playing gin!! =D But my luck was really bad lar!!! Always no joker one!! ish ish ish


lovey ginrami


When nearing to midnight, we were looking for fireworks but could only see tiny ones from far away!! Thomas brought a bottle of champagne to celebrate... It was really nice and I think I drank bout 3 cups!! (we use paper cups lar!!)


Celebration champagne!

We also celebrated Val's birthday which was a few days ago...

All of us posing with the cake



Besides the champagne, we also brought red wine, different flavour vodkas and midori. Drank quite a lot until I'm soooooo red!!











Group photos!! Took so many but none seems to be perfect!! In the end I just gave up!!


After that we just chat chat and played more wii!! Val then started to tell ghost stories and I was actually frightened by HF's handphone alarm in the early morning wee hours!!!!! I was woken up by the sound and cause it sounded like the music for games and I thought that we forgotten to off the wii and went out to off it but found that the tv was actually off and then the music also stops at that time!! I quickly ran back to the room!!!!!! Val stories kept flashing through my mind. Then after a while I hear the music again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was sooooo scared then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then I woke Justine up who was sleeping next to me and asked if she hear any music.... she said yes and ignore me and go back to sleep!! I made a fuss and woke HF up as well and ask her when she was half awake if she hear any music and she said yes and said its her phone and went to off it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -________-
