Christmas 2008

It's my favorite time of the year again! This time Eythan went Christmas shopping with me. He has become more patient this time as we walked from Far East plaza to Plaza Singapura & back to Far East again!

His patience finally worn out when we reached the lift back to our house. Haha!

On 21 Dec, met up with Lydia & Matthew, Abi & Jewel, Linda & Jessie @ Central for our annual gift exchange. This is my first visit to Central & I don't think I will ever go back there again soon. :p That place is like a maze & too small for my shopping preference. However, I must say Coffee Club has quite a good panoramic view of boat quay!

I love this gift from Jessie! (Her friend made them!)

On the eve of Christmas, we went Alvin & Angie's house @ Telok Blangah for celebration. He has 4 game machines at home! The boys immediately started their game & that got Eythan hooked for a while. He played so vigoriously he had 2 days of muscle ache after that!

Our 1st Anniversary - 20 Dec 2008

Instead of the usual getaway to a lavish spa resort in some island, we chose something very fun + economical + close to nature + never-done-it experience! That is CAMPING!

We have talked about this for the longest time but never had the chance, energy, time to really do it.


We reached East Coast park before it turned dark & pitched out tent under a big tree at Zone C. It was slightly crowded as it was a Friday. However, for our 1st try, we wanted somewhere not too isolated (for safety purpose).

We had snacks and watched movie in our small enclosed private area in a public place! Haha... Quite fun actually as it feels like our mini home!

Imagine waking up in the morning when the first light is out (abt 6.45am) by the sea, all you hear is birds chirping and the sound of the waves. It was heaven...

Chop it off!

Time for a new look! It has been years since I last had a short boyish cut & I have been waiting since planning for my ROM (which has been 1 yr!). 

On the spur of moment, went to my sister's saloon at Far East one Thursday. Not just cut off the shoulder length hair but also to give my hair a new colour for coming New Year. Somehow, the colour turned out more toned down than I expected. Nevertheless, I will do another hair colour treatment before CNY soon. Want to look RED!!!.... :p

Remember my earlier post abt Ey's sister's 4th child? Here is how he looks at few mths old. So cute!

Eythan Switzerland trip

Eythan went Altdorf Town at Switzerland again for his company's annual meeting. That was his 3rd trip with his new colleague. Took some photos for me here...

This is a picture taken Top-Down! I've been looking at it for very long, thinking it's a sky photo. the bluish "sky" is actually the Lake Lucerne.

Guess what kind of steak is this??... 

400grams of HORSE meat!!! Sick huh... Made him promise that will be his last... >:(

standard Chartered Marathon '08 ACTUAL DAY!

It's finally over!! Yeah... 

Not too bad results for both of us, being our 1st participation.

  

Our shag-a-doo-doo photos taken by the organiser!

Here is what we've been fighting for! Never had a medallion for > 10yrs! Hee... 

And here are our StandChart idols!! Shawn & Fong... 

 Duo team few years back...

 Trio team for this year!

Just another Thursday...

For the 1st time, Eythan wants to watch a animated movie - BOLT. Today is the preview of this animation show so we zoom to Great World right after a quick change at home.

Due to the regular running schedules we now having, both our appetite has grown to XXL. I am eating rice for almost every meal. 

This is the trailer for Disney’s Bolt.

The movie - slated for release in November - featuring the vocal stylings of John Travolta and Miley Cyrus, follows a dog who stars as the hero of his own TV show. Every day is filled with adventure, danger , intrigue and super powers until the cameras stop rolling one day. When the dog star of a hit TV show is accidentally shipped from his Hollywood soundstage to New York City, he begins his biggest adventure yet—a cross-country journey through the real world. Armed only with the delusions that all his amazing feats and powers are real, and with the help of two unlikely traveling companions: a jaded, abandoned housecat named Mittens (voice of Susie Essman) and a TV-obsessed hamster in a plastic ball named Rhino, Bolt discovers another adventure. He also discovers he doesn’t need superpowers to be a hero.

5mins into the movie, I took out our HP camera & took few shots of the movie. Hee... 

See Bolt the "Super Dog"!! It is sooo cute! Even Eythan keeps talking abt it after the show. So much for his remarks of me becoming so childish after my Wall E movie. Ha...

Standard Chartered Marathon '08 Race Pack

The long awaited day is finally here, tomorrow!! We've prepared chocolates & cereals for our breakfast tomorrow. Eythan is going for 21km & me only 10km! :p  This is both our 1st try.

Heard the queue was 2 hrs long for the collection of the Race Pack. Good thing I have my colleagues to do it for us! Hee... Once we got them, we immediately put them at home to see if they fit. Heng boy... both just nice for both of us. 

Then we start posing again... 

Will post more photos after the event tomorrow!!
