Wishing everyone a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!

Winter has been cold, this year unlike last year, it is indeed a WHITE Xmas (we had a GREEN Xmas last year)..This year Xmas was celebrated in the office as well as with "the One" cousins.


We had an early company Xmas dinner on the 15th Dec at "The Fish house" where we were given a treat by our boss for the year's hard work. The food was delicious (sorry no pics, forgot to charge my battery, went dead before I can take pics of those nice food). It was fun having a great dinner just talking with each other rather than work stuff...


I had the Southwest Parchment Tilapia - which is Ancho spice marinated tilapia, veggies, fresh lime, cilantro roasted corn & whiteskin potatoes baked in a parchment pouch. Healthy and the sweetness of the vegs all contained in that parch, yumyum! (the pic below is from the net, not the actual one but something similar to what is there ;)) For dessert, I had their signature "After eight cheesecake", of course that comes with the 'after eight" chocolate at the bottom and the cheesecake was baked around a crispy wafer..that was yummmyyy...



We even had a pot luck lunch in the office, everyone of us made a dish and had a hearty lunch! That's when I realised EVERYONE in the office can cook really really well! There's stewed beef, sushi, stuffed baked bell pepper, fried rice, broccoli fried with prawns and mango, chicken n vegetable curry and I? I made sweet lemon chicken. We had a vote for the 'best presentation', "best effort" and "best taste" awards.."best presentation" went to the sushi, "best effort" went to the stuffed baked bell pepper, I was at a tie with the no. of votes for "best taste", the colleague who made vegetable curry won over my sweet lemon chicken hehehe At the end of the day, we left the leftovers in the fridge and everyone had a second round of feast the next day :)

Just last Friday, 21st Dec, we had a 'Secret Santa' event..which is..everyone of us draw a name out from the box and we are supposed to buy gifts for that particular person. coincidentally, the colleague that I brought the present for, she was my 'Secret Santa' too! hahaha..


"The One" colleague has been really nice too..some of them gave him chocolates, liquor and the company had a Xmas buffet too..so over all, we both had a good Xmas..

Okie, so here, we'll like to take the chance to wish everyone a Merry Xmas and a wonderful new year!


Cheerios and keep smiling!
With Love from PoohBear & "The One"
