Christmas 2009 with 2nd Row!
Met up with my dearest JC lovelies for our annual must-have Christmas gathering! As usual, Fenjie and I were the earliest!
Prior to the gathering, Weizhong was sms-ing us, asking us to choose between Italian, Spanish, modern European and blah blah blah, and I guess he couldn't have been more irritated with our replies! Fenjie's one was classic! "What's the difference between the choices?" and mine was "Italian means we going Pizza Hut?" Lol!
Anyway, we settled for Don Quijote Spanish Restaurant eventually, after Weizhong claimed that it was highly recommended by his friends.
Thankfully Shan was nice enough to be our 'chauffeur' for that day cause the restaurant's location was super off! Anyway, I should correct the above sentence because technically, it was Weizhong who 'volunteered' Shan to drive us around instead.
And after a looooong journey together with countless screaming, shrieking, flipping of street directory, navigating with google maps and shouts of "turn left!", "turn right!", "die, overshot again!" blah blah blah, we finally made it there!
Needless to say, a big thanks to Shan! She was really brave to drive us there, but even braver to let the mean Weizhong direct her. Haha!
Was freaking hungry by then, but of course we'll still have mood for pictures while waiting for our food to be served! No pictures of the camera shy Cheri! 
Couldn't keep our hands off the bread when it was served! Well, I guess partly because we were freaking hungry, and two, the home-made garlic sauce for dipping was super yummy! Cheri almost wanted to ask if they could sell her a bottle of it! 
And here's what we ordered! Weizhong's recommendation didn't fail us again as usual. The prawns in garlic sauce was exceptionally yummy!
I'm never a fan of Spanish food, but guess I'll make Don Quijote an exception. Thumbs up! Shall bring Mashimaro there one day too!
Moved on to House @ Dempsey for part 2 of our Christmas celebration! 
Started with out gift exchange while waiting for our desserts. Opted for a simpler gift exchange this year instead of the challenging and confusing one that we had last year! Speakers from Fenjie to Weizhong and vouchers from Weizhong to Cheri! Weizhong was sooo busy that he only had time to grabbed the vouchers minutes before our gathering
Cheri got Jason wooden toys from Muji. Jason's gift to Shan has to be the most practical and thoughtful out of the entire lot! The box contains lots of cute and handy office supplies! No wonder Shan was smiling so happily with her loots! 
Got perfume from Shan, and bought Fenjie a necklace from Chomel!
And finally, our desserts came! The desserts are really yummy! Wouldn't mind going there again like a second, third, fourth, fifth etc. time! Highly recommended! 
As usual, sweet Weizhong never fail to write us a Christmas card every year, though everyone is complaining that his handwriting is getting more and more difficult to read! Really resembles those scribblings from a doctor's note. And he filled Cheri's card with lots of 'haha, haha'! 
Had to leave early as I had a wedding to attend that night! Really had lots of fun and laughter, they (Jason and Weizhong in particular!) always make me laugh till tummyache, and yet be able to complain/whine/talk about anything under the sun! We don't really meet up as often as we would like due to our busy schedule, but each time we meet, there's always endless stuff to chat about! (:
That aside, it's 14th February today! The first day of the Tiger year, and Valentines Day at the same time too! Hope everyone is off to a great start this year and Happy CNY + Vday to all! (:
PS: Happy Valentines to my dearest Mashimaro hubby! ^^
