Christmas Celebrations!

The past few days have been pretty busy running around to complete errands and chilling out with friends. The family Christmas party was a last minute arrow shot to me and Jam by mummy dearest and thankfully, we pulled it off without much fuss. Mum and the aunts were very helpful in assiting us in buying the nitty gritty stuff like balloons, table clothes, etc. for the party; in addition to preparing quite a bit of food for us. They really helped in making the party a more homely one with home cooked food instead of making do with catered food. It was also good to see the nephews and nieces; how fast they have grown. Toby looks so different from the last time I saw him in Feb when he was only a month old. Guess time really flies.

On a different note, yesterday we had our family lunch (only the 6 of us plus Uncle K) at this restaurant in Kitchener Road which served really good Chinese food. After that we all trotted down to Robinson's while dad sent Uncle K home. Robinsons was one big nightmare and madhouse, of which I was glad to be out off after 20 mins because I had to meet H at Marina to catch National Treasure 2. The show was pretty good and I liked it more than the first one- some funny moments like when Riley jumps into the car and tries to drive off..then he realises he's in London and not America.

After the show we took a walk to Riverside to get to Cafe Iguana for dinner and drinks. We had a good time talking, I think we spent close to 4 hours there chatting, amidst the serene Singapore River and bustling activties juxtaposed against the whole of clarke quay. It's always nice and heart warming to have a good friend that you can say anything to and the conversation just flows without either one of your trying very hard to keep it going. And at the end of the day when it's time to leave, you still feel that you can carry on talking but it's really time to say good night. I always enjoy having such conversations with my friends because these are the moments that leave your spirits feeling happier, your heart a little warmer and your footsteps a little lighter, each step of the way home...

Thanks, H, for a nice dinner, good drinks and the best company I had this Christmas. Glad I spent it with you.
