it's Christmas! how can we not have a big and heavenly Christmas dinner?! and of cuz!! I'm the one preparing and cooking all the dishes -- except for the stupid KFC chickens. Derrick was there to help me out with the BIG ROASTED CHRISTMAS CHICKEN too! he was really a GREAT help!

Dishes below are stir-fry vege ( I have to mix in a few chinese dishes so as to suit their natural oriental taste buds ) , fried sotong rings, BIG roasted honey chicken with boiled potatoes, BBQ salmon fish, cheese cocktail, baked corns, caesar salad and ... sigh... KFC fried chicken ( my sis requested on having that even though we had the big roasted chicken ) and mixed fried rice with bacons. all prouded prepared, cooked planned by ME !!! + Derrick too :D

Derrick's applying pink nail polish onto Wendy's toes.. she'll just sit there and wait patiently till he's done -- I seriously think it's women's nature to love looking good. haha! Wendy will wait patiently whenever we apply lip gloss for her too - it's just the woman nature growing inside her. haha!

Chicken Little  

Wendy's crazy over the movie, Chicken Little, and so her parents got her the T-shirt. once she wear the shirt she will just go "bird... bird... bird..." wherever she goes.. and when she sees the music video of Chicken Little she will start dancing to the music. cute!

Cinnamon Rolls  

one of my best pastries - Cinnamon Rolls . love it!

the process of making it is really tedious and time-consuming, but the satisfaction I got from all the positive comments and the great taste of the cinnamon rolls just overpower the tiredness and sweat.

slicing the dough.. an advice - it's much easier and nicer to use the thread to cut the dough through

freshly baked from the oven!!! the cinnamon cream oozed out of the bread and caramelized at the top. the fragrance of cinnamon penetrate the air and filled our lungs with the delicious home-baked essence.

Final product - Cinnamon Rolls :D - crisp on the top, soft on the inside and juicy at the core

after the heavy Sakura dinner, Dad took us to a night ride at Orchard road to take a look at this year's Christmas lighting.. kinda disappointed by the lights.. find it kinda.. low-class and cheapo looking.. the two previous years were better with all the white and blue colour scheme deco. this year? - kinda sucks..

lack of posts I know. my camera's flooded with loads of photos and I've got no time to upload them in the computer. lazy too. I think the photos date back to way before A Level ended. so sorry for the inefficiency.

currently working in Canon at Harbour Front. doing data entries. which means lots of computer work.. sigh.. that's one reason why I've not come online for very long. I'm seriously sick of staring at the computer screen after 9 hours of working in front of it. but life's been great. really. love it now. stressless. happy. money! haha! Derrick's been a very great boyfriend too. always there to fetch me after working, waiting in front of the fountains of Canon : ) my dearest!

shall upload ALLLLLL my photos when I get my 3 days off during the christmas wkend. till then... please bear with the same old entries.

shall end with Wendy's photo. haha. will update soon!
