Busy Weeks

So busy - we hadn't been at home on all the weekends in December, except Christmas Eve and Day ironically, ha. As weekdays after work were too short to shop for presents, we only had 2.5 weekends to do it. Last Sat (17 Dec) was originally reserved for Christmas potluck party with our cell group but was last minute replaced by a movie premiere to watch Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol, an invitation from hubby's office. Hubby had to show face as his director was away.

Quite a number of hours in the last week before Christmas were spent in gift wrapping. Tiring as done at night, after work... But the pleasantly surprised expression on each receiver's face & their praises made all the efforts put in worthwhile ;)

On 23 Dec, our office was officially closed for half day (pm). So shiok to be enjoying half-days on 2 consecutive Fridays (16 Dec & 23 Dec)! Met June for lunch at United Square before my BRT treatment at 3pm. Bakerzin's set meal was pretty good (except for the slices of bread that were as hard as cardboard!) & the catch-up with June was great. By the way, hubby & I are impressed at the pace Jun speaks... as info shared within that 1 hour+ at lunch took me the whole night to update hubby! Ha...

After treatment, I went to meet hubby at his office. It's a 1-hour long bus journey from Thomson to Telok Blangah.. along the way the bus braved flood and heavy traffic (almost everywhere!). We then had a beer & early Christmas 3-course dinner at The Chamber, Robertson Walk. I like the food but not some of the drinkers there.

My Grilled Chicken Skewers with potatoes.. Nice!
Hubby had Lamb shank with red wine sauce.

Christmas Eve, we popped by at the Christmas party organised by hubby's aunts & uncles (maternal) at One Shenton.

We brought a bottle of Champagne to the party ;)

We stayed for an hour+ & then adjourned to Liang Seah Street with June & Eugene for drinks.



We headed back home around 1am... had only 4 hours of sleep and attended morning Christmas service @ 8.30am!! I"m proud that hubby & I didn't doze off at all! :D
