Extremely Quiet Day!
7 of us come into the office today, so quiet. Not much things to do (no issue coming in) due to holiday season - Some work from home, some on leave, and some are on business trip. Mail server having problem, not able to received emails and those emails that send out are sitting in outbox. Internet access also having problem, either slow network or can't access to the site, therefore not much progress.
All of them planned and wanted to go back home early. so do I.

My 2006 Christmas Day - Dinner at Tung Lok Signatures Vivo City
After sending my relatives back home, settle down Wayne, rest for a while then we go out again to meet up with my ex-lab assistant and librarian.
Gathering during Christmas day at Tung Lok Signatures - Vivo City. Total of 8 having dinner together, the lady sit beside me are Teck Hin's ex-colleague, 4 of us work in Singapore - Derrick, Weng Thai, hubby & I, and other 3 (Teck Hin, Mun Hin also known as 'Bear-bear' and Soue Hoong) come over to celebrate Christmas and visit.
Hubby & I reached Harbour Front MRT at 6:30pm, we are not familiar with that area, so need to look out for the place. Meet Soue Hoong in front of Tung Lok Signature entrance, she is waiting for bear-bear. Derrick came out to show us the way to the table - so sweet of him. Is nice and great to organise this gathering - meet up and get update with each other.
We occupied their table more than 2 and half hours, so we decide to go elsewhere to have a drink as well to continue our updates. We found a place around there but I can't remember the name of the shop. I just know that I ordered a glass of Blue Caribbean, is a cocktail, it taste great and nice, my hubby and I enjoyed that drink. And of course, we have a happy and wonderful day too!
11:30pm reached home.

My 2006 Christmas Eve
I have my Log Cake, Gingerbread men (Chocolate and Original Flavour), Gingerbread Xmas Tree (Chocolate and Original Flavour) and a bottle of wine for this year Christmas.
YEAH! This is what I want for this year, and I have it all. 我已心满意足了！ I celebrated 2006 Christmas at home with family - My Mum, hubby, Wayne, aunty (大阿姨) and Aunty Cheng. Mummy fried noodles (炒米粉), curry chicken and desert (白果薏米). A surprise that I have is one of my ex-colleague drop by and give my hubby and I a present. He is my Santa Claus, delivering present to us every year . Thanks!
At first we plan to go Orchard Road to spend our Christmas Eve, plan to have our dinner at Lemon Grass, but all of this have to cancel - Rain cause us to cancel our activities. So around 5pm, My hubby and I went down to Park Royal Hotel to buy Log Cake, we choose Chocolate Nougat & Pear Log Cake, the cake nestled between chocolate moose and pear moose (hope my description is correct) - taste nice, not too sweet, worth of trying. We get our gingerbread men and Xmas tree at Takashimaya (basement), and bought a bottle of wine at Cold Storage.
How about yours? How you celebrated your Christmas Eve? Mind to share? I have taken some picture on what we have bought.

I Have Take Up Jewelry Making Course
I have wanted to learn more about Jewelry making and go for a handicraft class long time ago but time not permitted. I come to know about this in year2003 when one of my ex-colleague shows me her own DIY earring and necklaces.
At last, I have make up my mind and decided to go for it, so I sign up the course at CC. How easy to master this technique? I have no idea what I will learn, no idea what will be teach during the session. What I know is that I am very excited and looking forward to the day comes.

Avaya Singapore 1st Pandemic Exercise
Today all employees require their temperature taken at the main reception - Block A. I have taken mine after lunch, 37.4 show in the Thermal Thermometer and a colour sticker with the temperature reading issued to me. This colour sticker need to stick onto your clothes for the day, everyone did that too.
I came out from my house 15 minutes early today but I am late to work still. The train delay and stop at every station for more than a minutes due to some interruption, not much details given. Normally, I need 30 to 35 minutes to reach to the destination (MRT) but today it took me almost 50 minutes to reach. I have to rush to attend for a conference call, can't wait for the bus to arrive, so my hubby and I took a cab to office. I didn't stop at the main reception to have my temperature read, rush to my cubicle, grab my notes and pen then straight away entered to my boss desk.

My Weekend Schedule Changed
Wayne's appointment cancel, he still taking antibiotic so can't go for the injection. Appointment postpone.
I attended 9:15am class and my hubby brought my mum to the clinic, as for the result - everything is fine, no sign of infection, in stage of recovering. My class ended at 10:30am, meet up with them, then we go for breakfast at Crystal Jade Kitchen. As usual, we will have our dim sum at Crystal Jade - Toa Payoh, dim sum there taste nice. To beat the crowd on Sunday, you have to be there early. If you are late, you have to queue for number, you will see lots of people standing around the receptionist counter and some even stand near the entrance. The place is crowded and noisy on Sunday. After breakfast, we shop for weekly grocery at NTUC, then took a cab back home.
2:00 pm I have an appointment, by the time reached home, already 5:00pm. Have my early dinner, rest for while, then just only me and my hubby went out. We took 2 hours to reached IKEA's entrance. Left home around 5:30pm, reached Tampines MRT at 6:30pm, waited for the shuttle bus for about 20 minutes. By the time we reached IKEA, there was another long queue to walk to the entrance. Luckily the queue is moving, don't need to wait for long.
When we went into the building, the place was full of people, yet still have lots of space to walk around. Most of them are not buying, just only for fun, join the crowd. Purpose of going there was to get some idea for our new house, we think that there would have more design display, but we can't get any. All the design in Tampines, you can get it from IKEA, Alexander Road too. So, we bought some colour boxes to store Wayne's toy and tools. Then we left the place, reaches home 10:30pm.
Overall performance - Good, should give IKEA a credit, where they provided such a good services, they provided a shuttle bus to various place, such as Tampines, Ang Mo Kio, Woodlands, Yishun, Sengkang MRT; giving out water at waiting bay - wait for shuttle bus. They even give out some goodies to the public. They really did a great job.

My First Weekend On December
My weekend schedule is packed.
Saturday morning, 9:45am appointment – Wayne will be having his chickenpox injection. After the injection, will accompany my mum to visit her doctor (NTUC Family clinic), she want to check on her wound condition. I can’t accompany them (my mum, Wayne and my hubby) for a long. I need to attend my Pilates Class, class start at 10:15am.
I love Pilates very much. Pilates helps to build up my strength, endurance, how to inhale & exhale in a correct manner. For those body that out of alignment, it also helps to correct posture. If my schedule too tight, and not able to go for the class, then I will go on Sunday night class.
Later in the afternoon, we have to go IKEA locate at Tampines (just recently open in Tampanies), to get an idea how and what to buy for our new house. Oh! We have bought a house, moving in next year, end of January2007.
We are extremely busy, busy with our new house. We are looking for a contractor to renovate kitchen area, living room and bedroom. Actually, we have chosen a contractor out from the list. The pricing quite reasonable and we like the proposal that had propose to us. Sunday, we will go down to their place to discuss more details, choose the material, colour, and etc.
Thing that we have purchased: oven, hob, washing machine, and fridge. Mmm... ... I should have list out what I have not buy: bed for 2 rooms, sofa, wardrobe, and fan for living room... ... I have more things to buy, but I can’t recall now.
I miss out one more thing, Sunday morning, Wayne's insurance agent coming over, after that then we go IMM Mall to meet up with the contractor. Sunday night need to do some ironing, tidy up the house, attend to house chores.
I have to make a move now… … going back home, take a good rest. Spend quality time with my son. Have a nice weekend!
