I Love Christmas!!! This year, I'm so blessed to spend Christmas in my new home, with my loved ones. I had to work on Christmas Eve still, so after work, D and I went down to Heartland Mall to collect the roasted turkey from Cold Storage. Mind you, the pamphlet picture looks ready to eat. But it comes vacuum-packed and bloody and everything, so you need to roast it over low heat (around 180 C) for almost an hour to get the beautiful golden tan (see picture). D and I then came home and cooked the rest of the stuff - minestrone soup, spaghetti, potato salad (he's very good at it! has perfected it in fact, hey, he's been at it for what, 14 years? started cooking at 10.... not bad...). So Christmas dinner was lovely and scrumptious and we ate till we popped. Then there was Bryan's Jelly Hearts for dessert which was perfect!! I spent the Eve wrapping presents in semi-darkness, so Recipients, if you're wondering why the quality has dropped, or if there's been QC in th...

I just had such a FULL lunch!! Had this thing called Thai Style Chicken Rice which is basically chicken rice with a deep-fried chicken cutlet and a mountain of shredded cucumber, carrot, a few slivers of fresh chilli and rings of fresh onion topped with Thai sweet chilli sauce! It was so good, I finished the whole place, so now I'm feeling oily and pukey, but it was damn worth it! Ha ha ha! And now I'm nodding off at my desk in the office! Ooops!!!

I can't believe it's been two years since my last post! Where has all that time gone? Baby is no longer a baby, she's a precocious and precious 2-yr-old. Older daughter is now 9 yrs old! And I've worked in 3 companies in 2 yrs (okay.... the first job upon returning to the workforce was a 3-mth contract job....). And we're moving to our new place in mid-December (thank God!!!).
