Boxing Day

A holiday declared by my Company. Super long weekend for me, good, but not so great, as my hubby and friends are all working....

In the end, met my MIL for lunch at Taka' Sushi Tei, and followed by shopping at Orchard. Never had I seen so many people in the malls. Lots of stores were offering (up to) 70% off. Tempting... but after having spent so much in US (honeymoon trip), I got to tighten my belt and restrain myself. *Impressed by my discipline*

Well, the mission for the day is Bedlinens for my new place (though STILL NOT yet ready). So we went to Robinsons, which is having some kind of special members' SALE. Wow, WOw...! The queue was very long and my MIL had to queue (abt 1 hour) whilst I chose my purchase. The people were buying as if everything was free! It's crazy the people are still spending when the market sentiments is so bad, and economy is getting gloomy...

Christmas BBQ

Annual Christmas BBQ

~ using Terence trusty portable pit

The Scouts doing their job..

Christmas Menu for the Night:

~ Black pepper beef

~ Spicy Jiang yu zai Stingray

~ XO prawns

~ Honey lemon chicken, XO Chicken wings

~ Chicken sausages

~ butter crabsticks

Initially, we thought of having BBQ underneath the stars....

In the end, we shifted the portable pit to the sheltered porch due to sudden downpour
But the weather did not spoil our mood for BBQ !

And of course, Cheers to Siting
for her wonderfully marinated food!!
(Now we know who should be incharge of preparing the BBQ food next time...)

Now, the christmas lightings on wheels...

and we are lucky to be the passengers =)

Start of the Strip

Playful lightings to brighten

the gloomy mood during difficult time like this...

Swinging down Orchard Road amidst the blues

Bad jam means we can have a little more time taking pics

High Tea at Sheraton Tower

The scent of pine emmitted from the huge Pine tree filled the air with Chritmas cheers...

Appealing bite-size appetizers leave you wanting more...

Sashimi is our favourite
(though it still can't beat the fresh sashimi we love from Sakuraya)

Nice waterfall view

I love his shots. His selection here is a very good summary of the morning events.
