Merry Christmas!!
After lots of tracing papers, cardboards, sticky glue and glitters:
Well the picture says it all... Merry Christmas everybody!!
A 'Snowy' Suprise
Hubby secretly arranged with Dave to bring me and Anna to celebrate Christmas with an early Christmas dinner last Sunday. A week before, he hinted that he's gonna bring me somewhere special, that it'll be a pleasant suprise.
On that day, we headed to VivoCity, to do some christmas shopping. Our first stop was Crocs. If you've read hubby's blog, you'd know of his obssesion in getting a pair. I promised him those for Christmas present. So there we were, in the shop, which was packed with people by the way, and hubby tried the sandals (do you call them sandals?) on. After weeks of declaring that he definitely wants a pair of Crocs, he decided it doesn't look that good anyway. So we left the shop empty handed. Lol.
By then it was raining cats and dogs outside. And Hubby told me that there may be a change in dinner plans. He said there's no point in going where he planned to go if it continues raining....
Well, we managed to get a christmas present for my dad. A Man U T-shirt, which Aaron chose.
Looked around, and couldn't find anything suitable for my mum... When into Guess! and they were having 30% storewide. I just got Jo a Guess! handbag in Malaysia the previous Sunday. It costs RM299. Saw the exact same one but of different colour in Vivo. It's $169 with 30%... oh well...
By 6pm, the rain seems to have stop, so we decided to proceed with the dinner plan. Me and Anna still have no idea where were we going. Hubby drove up to Mount Faber. This is the place where we went for our first date. It's also here he proposed.
He stopped in front of The Jewel Box, a restaurant uphill.
By then it had started raining again. It was only after we were seated, indoors, that he revealed that they actually have a snow show, but due to the rain that it may be cancelled. Well, the ambience was really nice, and we thought even if we couldn't see the snow, it'll still be great. The snowing was suppose to start at 8pm, by then it was 7.30pm and the rain seems to be getting heavier. We requested to be seated outdoors. On the days that when it's not raining, you would get a clear view for Sentosa. Very panaromic indeed.. and romantic too.
So we ordered our food. The menu's rather limited, but the food's good. We shared among ourselves a plate of Foie Gras. My first time trying and I must say it tasted good! Much better than a pate but oh so sinful... So there we were, enjoying our food, we didn't realise the rain had slow down, not until when lights suddenly flashes, and guess what? It started to snow!! It was so pretty!!
The snow's made up of foam. It does looks real even close up.
We had fun. It was memorable too. Thanks Hubby baby bunny!!! Love you!
What a Mess..
It's really Christmas soon!! The house have been in a BIG mess the pass month. Anna and me have been finding ways to DIY decorating the house. And being that it's been such a busy month, with the passing of hubby's grandfather and SUE's night tour at Fort Belayar last weekend, we were left with little time to finish the DIYs. Last night, we managed to finish one of them at least, the MERRY CHRISTMAS sign, and I must say it looks quite professionally done. Will post the picture soon.
Hubby's blog covered the details of SUE's first night outing at Fort Belayar. As a member, I too were really proud with the success of the tours. The SUE website will be up soon, we're expecting early next year, and by the look of things, 2007 will be a eventful year for us. We've a number of activities and events lined up. So do check out our website!!
Okie so much for now.. Have to take off for work now.. Will update on the photos of the house soon. Ciao!
A Tribute
" Good evening, I'm the grandson of Mr. Chan Sze Kang. I represent my Auntie Lucy and my Mum. Grandpa was a doting husband, father and grandfather. He was fair, kind and humble. He was devoted to his work and had worked till recently. Even when he was lying ill in his hospital bed, he endured the pain and never complained. Grandpa had never held back his knowledge and was always willing to share.
Grandpa had always pampered grandma and treated her very well. He always made sure that she had the best of everything. Grandma would miss him very dearly.
Auntie Lucy would like me to give a testimony. 5 years ago, Grandpa had a major operation and he told her he almost died. But my aunt prayed for him and with God's grace, he pulled through. In his own words, grandpa told Auntie Lucy that he saw lights at the end of the tunnel, after which, he regained conciousness and he felt himself and realised that he was still alive. Since the incident, he lived healthily for another 5 fulfilling years.
On my mum's part, she feels that grandpa was a very loving father-in-law and had always treated her like his own daughter. Shortly before he passed away, he made my mum promise that she would continue her studies in the japanese language. For the record, grandpa was an expert in the japanese language and culture. He had always led by example that we should all continously improve ourselves and brush up our knowledge.
His illness started just a month ago and he did not suffer much. He was a good man."
