X'MAS - SEASON OF JOY & LAUGHTER
I alway love it whenever x'mas is approaching. This is because I noticed it is one of the few occasions when people really gets into the mood to celebrate an event together, buying gifts for loved ones, friends and families. Even though it does not snow in Singapore, the X'mas lightings and decorations evident in most major shopping centres and roads still allows me to soak up the X'mas spirit and bring a smile to my face. As usual, this year is the same, but instead of shopping at Orchard (which was our main purpose initially), me and Caroline ended up spending more time on taking photos. Haha... Click! Click! & more Clicks!
Rows & rows of dangling lights at Orchard Road!
Huge X'mas tree near paragon!
Me & Caroline under the huge X'mas tree
Even have Braun Buffel Tree. Cool~
I love this M&M mascot :)
Love this M&M house too. So colourful! :)
This year, celebrations with my beloved nutpals is at Grand Plaza Park hotel near cityhall. One of the reasons why i love X'mas so much is also because this is one of the rare occasions when everyone is free to meet up (usually there is alway 1 or 2 who can't meetup during normal days). Sometimes i really treasure these moments together, and i am so glad that our friendship remains as strong as ever even though we may not meet up that often nowadays. Thanks to them, this X'mas continues to be a season of endless fun & laughter for me! :)
As usual, the first thing when i stepped into a hotel room was to take pictures. The room seems fine, except for a missing luggage rack even though there is sufficient space for it. Weird...
The bathroom has a separate shower cubicle...
and a bathtub. Good! I preferred it this way.
They provide LCD TV with DVD player. Happy~ :)
View from our room: Can even see the swimming pool of Peninsular Excelsior Hotel, which is just opposite ours.
Rong preparing the lots for our gift exchange. Again, she surprised us with her new hairstyle and super long fake eyelashes. She said she looks more like a Mamasan than a teacher. Haha...
Our presents for the gift exchange. How our dear Groundnut managed to wrap a square-shaped present into such a weird shape is beyond everyone's imaginations. Lol~
Group Photo :)
Piggy Frenzy!
I love this pic! Haha... Everyone was laughing at our dear Donut's "自High" pose and she tried to defend herself by claiming that she was "acting dead". Objection overruled!!
Went to Ichiban Boshi for our dinner. I ordered the tempura chawamushi set. Yum!!!
Enjoying the food & the company!
Gift Exchange - Time to draw Lots!

Coconut also gave each of us a packet of "sanitary pad" from her Taiwan trip which turns out to be marshmallow -_-"' Surprisingly, it was quite delicious. Haha... Really gotta hand it to the Taiwanese to even think of using this as the packaging.
Coconut & Groundnut acting like 2 little cute "傻妹" Lol~
I got the chance to be a Santa Claus. Ho Ho Ho ~
1 Santa + 2 little cute gals!
Peanut gave me this dangling chain cos she said it looks like "Pau" which suits me -.- But i gotta admit that this "Pau" is really cute and i love it. Thanks Pea!
Planning a surprise for our birthday gal who just came out from her bath. Still gotta use some tricks to force her out as she was really taking her own sweet time inside. Haha...
Gelare Chocolate ice-cream cake. Nice!!! :)
Our delighted birthday gal
Game Time = Forfeit Time!
After enjoying our delicious ice-cream cake, we decided to try playing the 'Taboo' games that peanut just bought. We split into 2 teams of 3 with me, Peanut & Coconut in 1 team while Donut, Groundnut and Rong makes up the other team. Proud to say my team won all the 3 rounds and so poor Donut, Groundnut and Rong gotta do their forfeits thrice. Haha...
First Foreit:
Pole dancing with Rong acting as the pole. Lol~
Second Forfeit:
Imitating the classic scene from the tv drama, "金枕头"
And just nice our hotel pillow cover is gold in colour. "阿朗， 你听见了吗？" Wahahaa...
Third Forfeit:
"Romeo & Juliet" alternate ending - Juliet's plan to get rid of Romeo succeeded as she eloped with her new lover. Wahahaa...
Tired of constantly being in the losing team, Donut, Groundnut and Rong decided to try out for a new team combinations. This time round, i was being switched with Groundnut to the other team. Guess what? My new team won both the final 2 rounds again before they decided to stop playing. In the end i managed to avoid doing any forfeits. Wahahaa... Heng ah. So our poor Groundnut had a cameo role in every forfeits.
First Forfeit:
Another pole dancing
Second Forfeit:
Classic Scenes from the movie "赌圣" - The "Armpit-with-mole Qi Mong" and "Zhou Xing Xing"
Our score sheet - My winning "Bao Ba Zhang" team vs the losing "东亚病夫" team. Wahahaa...
Now i am looking forward to X'mas next year :)
