Farewell 2006

Hey You, it is 2007!
I am bloody 26.

My Xmas was a dinner affair at this Mongolian restaurant at Park Mall.
Terence's family + his friends.
I always think it's very sweet that there's no line of separation between ALL his friends and his family. It's pretty amazing.
I mean, my parents probably know about 3-5 of my closest friends, but even then, I'm not sure my frens will be comfortable enough to have dinner with my whole family.
It's just a very sweet thing that their family is so close that his parents have just about seen all his friends grow up, and treat them like one big extended family.

Then we headed for some grooving at MOS.
Didn't stay for long tho, not with the meatpack action gog on.
Absolutely impossible.
But Terence was v sweet to hold my bag as I danced with his frens, and he just stood there.
Haha. Quite funnie actually.
He absolutely cannot move to save his life.

Wish I have pictures of my Xmas gifts.
A Ted Baker set from my hubby.
Comprising a beautiful top that he insisted I wore on Xmas itself, and a perfume+body care set.
Pretty unique scent.
He got himself the male version. Even nicer!
And a red glitz Tommy tee from his brother.
Very pretty too.
A pretty silver necklace from Ellen, and a nice mix of yuletide classics from Jer.

New Year was simple.
Spent the whole day with Mum & Dad & terence sofa-hunting at The Furniture Mall.
The good news is that, unlike the 10 futile trips of 2006,
We actually found AND bought our sofa at Lorenzo.
It is an amazing find that took 4 months!
Goodbye to watching TV and just about everything else on the cold, hard floor!

Then my brother came up with a genius of an idea to eat Duck Rice,
At our old place at Pasir Panjang.
So we all trooped there, relieved & glad to find nothing has changed!
But it sure is more expensive now.
Other than that, the workers, food, place, 50s cheena music, rustic look and quintessential rackety white Mercs are all the same.
Went home after a short walk around.

Then me and Terence wanted to see fireworks at around midnight.
We reached ten minutes too late, and all we got were the sound of them blasting away in the sky.
Oh well, but we were both a good sport about it.
We then took a walk around with the wild masses and decided to buy loads of junk food back home to catch a DVD.
Good idea too.
Watched one of his Hong Kong comedy-classics...you know, the 80s kind I never know where he managed to get, featuring all those familiar strange faces on the telly when we were kids, but that we never know the names of.
Jackie Chan & Samo Hung looked so young it's hilarious.
I think that was the height of HK comedies, really.

So a quiet way to end a fantastic year!
2006 really was wonderful, hard one for 2007 to beat.

But we'll try our best, won't we?
