Welcoming 2010

The days leading up to 2010 has been hectic but extremely fun!! from family time, to grabbing hot deals off racks, slipping into new shoes, and satisfyingly good food, Xan-di is a very happy girl!!

12/12/09: A few days before christmas, the gang had a christmas dinner at uncle’s place.. lots of good food and hearty laughter made us deliriously manic XD i contributed this sinfully sweet satisfying dessert, caramel custard..

20/12/09: had a little too much spare minutes on my tubby fingers, and attempted to create master chef g-wong’s delicious bread and butter pudding.. as expected, a few things were modified, vanilla pods being replaced by vanilla essence and baileys’ being replaced by malt.. overall, the Ang’s still demanded a second attempt.. success??

22/12/09: tong yuen day.. despite being a festival where families came together, i spent mine in sban.. but mum made me tong yuen the day before *hearts*

25/12/09: merry christmas!! dinner at TJ haus was a delight as always.. but we geniouses only realised we forgot to order our favourite dish once we finished.. but of course, there’s room for more *wink* no pictures though cos it evaporated!! and of course, my favourite cheese cake *yums*

27/12/09: shopping trip to MV.. with the not-so-hidden agenda to revisit Belanga.. needless to say the food is so sinfully good.. my favourites, roti jala kari ayam and nasi dagang ikan tongkol..

dad loved the Hogwarts-like theme decor in MV so much that he was all tourisy.. lols!!

and of course, Swensons with Mc D fries!! yippee..

26/12/09: family party at Malacca (waistline complains: more good food?????)

this is also where i fell in love real bad with my cousin’s DSLR.. despite weighing a tonne *flexesbiceps* and a few failed shots, i felt so pro clicking away.. and my effort paid off when some of the shots i took were *if i must say myself* were beautiful!! Dals, faster upload the photos!!

31/12/09: the last day of 2009, we decided to go shopping for CNY.. not wanting to spend the day jamming with other people, we went very early and left before the fireworks started.. now is that genius or is that genius?? bought so many stuff (blame it on the crazy sales) and of couse it included shoes…………. ’nuff said.

revisited the International House of Pancakes.. ahhh.. in this context, the photo below paints a MILLION words!! *warning, not for the empty stomach-ed*

Is shopping considered excersize?? well, it sure made us hungry!! Papa John’s happened to be at the right place at the right time which is in front of our growling stomachs.. and it sure didn’t disappoint, but it didn’t WOW either.. we’re still loyal to the italian pizza in sban.. XD

1/1/10: A year older (and hopefully more mature).totally forgot that its a new year until my brother exclaimed that he’s gonna take his first POO for the year..!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!

p/s: resolutions?? is to be happy always, always and always..

what’s yours??
