X'MAS @ PAN PACIFIC ORCHARD
Just celebrated my favourite holiday of the year - X'mas! :)
As usual, we decided to book a hotel room for our nutpals x'mas celebration. After killing most of my brain cells in deciding the place, we decided to "up the budget" a bit and booked a deluxe room at Pan Pacific Orchard. Coconut joked that we can have the 'tai tai' feel again if we book at Orchard because we can just grab our wallet, handphone, walk out of the building and tada! straight away we are in Orchard! Haha... Ya i know we are crazy. But it's nice to have dreams once in a while right.
A nice gesture from the hotel - a complimentary x'mas bear cupcake (i think).
As usual, some pictures of our room to share:
A king size bed that is not 'king size' enough for all of us. Ha...
But luckily the room is quite spacious...
The bathtub looks nice but i think none of us use it.
Nothing special about the view though. Haiz...
Rong trying to act bimbotic with her fanciful umbrella.
Hmm... This picture looks pretty "suggestive". Lol...
Internal affairs part 1: "抓奸在床"
Alright. Enough of all our nonsense.
Time for dinner!
After consolidating our votes, we decided to book a table at NYDC for our x'mas dinner.
Donut & Coconut
Rong and me
Our dinner!
We had to purposely finished our food soooooo slowly just to wait for our dear Groundnut to join us after her work. When she ordered her salad, the staff informed her that they ran out of salad dressing. We also noticed Donut's pasta looks dry but were told that they also ran out of cream sauce -_-"' I thought they should have expected it and stock up for x'mas? And we were there quite early too (around 6pm) *Shake head* Nevermind. It's X'mas. Forgive and forget.
*Back to hotel*
Internal affairs part 2: "左拥右抱"
Everyone seems to be getting 'sleazy'. Wahahaa.. Unfortunately, our hotel is located near Orchard Tower - the "red light district". Maybe we were "influenced" by the atmosphere. Ha...
For Peanut's belated birthday celebration this year, we had to prepare something different since she claimed that our surprise for her is not 'surprising' anymore (we always use the 'after-bathing/open door-spring-a-surprise-trick'). Luckily this time we had plenty of time to think of new ideas since she will only be joining us after midnight.
Our forfeit queen, Groundnut, preparing her song script for the 'surprise'
The 'song script'. So funny...
Meanwhile, we went on to play our customary 'poker cum forfeit' game.
Rong simply can't resist this 80 bucks "
For Girls Only" vodka & cognac bottle that she decided to purchase it on the spot from Cold Storage.
Madly in love with the bottle. Ha...
When Peanut arrived, we decided to throw her off guard by pretending to go through the procedure of introducing and giving clues to each of our present for gift exchange. Towards the end of our 'presentation' (our cue), we immediately did this:
The first 'surprise' we prepared for Peanut - forming the alphabets of her english name. Lucky i am not in charge of "Y". Wahahaa...
The 2nd surprise - Groundnut started her 'song dance'. Hee...
The 3rd surprise - A Mrs Field Cookie tin box which we hid in the room for Peanut to find.
找不到! 找不到! Peanut 找不到 ~
With some clues from us, Peanut finally found the 'treasure box' behind the tv :)
Posing for the camera:
喜(^_^) 怒 (>_<) 哀(=_=) 乐(^o^)
And i received a 4gb thumbdrive from Groundnut! Just nice too! Now i can put my fat fat thumbdrive away liao. Wahahaa...
Groundnut received a Crabtree & Evelyn rose water handcream from Rong
We spotted a rare sight of an almost deserted Orchard Road when we went out for our early morning breakfast the next day.
By the time we checked out, Orchard Road was closed for the Christmas Parade.
Me with a Baa Baa pink sheep :)
Coconut under the 'Coconut tree' Ha...
The various Christmas themed floats
A big pyramid stacked up with empty Coca Cola bottle along Orchard Road . So cool...
My X'mas prezzie :)
