More food
It's 10 more days to X'mas! Whoo~ Anyway *sings "On the 2nd day of X'mas, my true love gave to me - 1 Threadless T~"* Very cute T... It's bright YELLOW and has an evil muffin saying "Ah Munna Eat Choo" So cute~ But as to why he chose this T and it's little message, it's a private thing between us. Ehehe
The happy trio (Snowy in my office guarding) wishing everyone Happy Yuletide. I got a cap for Sackman~.
Hm anyway X'mas... I'm getting older... *sigh* and thanks to Facebook, I've located the website of my secondary school, so I went to nosy abit, found out that my Physics, Chem and Math teachers(woah, it's been awhiel since I used this term) are still around, NO MORE RAJA (wooo, but it's an academic lost tho. He's a lean mean Math killing machine). Abit sad to see some of my teachers are gone, but my fave DM (yes DISCIPLINE MASTERS can be nice too) is still there... Hm, anyway... the surreality of staring at faces that you THINK are gone and not seeing the faces you wish to see gripped me... and for awhile, I have the urge to find the faces long forgotten, embrace them with a warm hug screaming in their faces "It's me! Melissa! You ungrateful sods!" but thankfully that urge is short lived... But yea, Tis the season to forgive and forget. And splurge...
Speaking of splurging... I got my bonus. Ehehehe. Not much, but decent enough to spend abit on my loved ones... And spend I did. So lessee, I got me pay on 12th Dec, took Parrot out to dinner and had a feast. Felt like exploding. Money filled my heart with greed and I forgot the combined capacity of our stomach cannot take so much. So whatever you do, don't treat HRH and her Royal consort to buffet. Ever. Please.
So for starters, we had him a Rootbeer float and me something like a Dinosaur float. I believe that was the wrong move.
The wrong moves
Volcano top view. Choco heaven...
Followed by White Dog Platter (yes, we went White Dog)
Very yummy very crispy, bad for my teeth expedition
My main course, a nice leg of chicken. That's all I had. No more room for my mash potato or salad (even if I had room, I won't put it in)
Very tender and tasty Chicken Leg
On Saturday, I had a Masterclass at the Machinima Symposium. Cowardly me was glad only a handful turned up, though on hindsight, it would be better if many had attended... Anyway. After the presentation, I had dinner at Vivo with Hao, Fang, Nigel, Hans and Peaceful at the Ajisen. I had the Tom Yam... Not very spicy, but still something to wash away the dead butterflies in my tummy. We sat outdoors, very breezy, nice view of the sea (and ongoing works at Sentosa) and the occasional stench of smokers.
The view
The ramen
So anyway, after splurging for Fri and Sat, you think my wallet and heart would be wearing down right? Nooooo I had to go Orchard with dear Parrot, my official bag carrier. So let's see... I wanted to buy a bag for mom. And a couple of jeans for my bros. Though I'm proud to say I did both, I also bought other stuff that I regretted...
The shopping:
1 Mango tote for Mom $45
1 Mango messenger bag for me $37
2 pairs of Levi's traded my random jeans in for my bros $118
2 pairs of ballet flats that are 1 size smaller (what was I thinking....) $25
2 pairs of shorts $20
Oh gosh... *hides card somewhere* I'm glad to say the large part of my shopping is done. Waiting for BBQ this Saturday. And then X'mas. Whee~ Holiday~
