今天是妈妈的生日哦！
我知道她最喜欢在这时候出国旅行，不过sorry lah, 今年没空陪她。明年得好好计划，安排个冬季之旅 ：） 那今天，将就一点，就请妈妈吃晚餐啦，ok? 嘻嘻！

Afternote:
我们选择在家附近的Seafood Paradise餐馆用餐。老弟的女朋友Eileen好赏脸，她今天刚和家人从台湾环岛旅行回来，应该很累，却也跟着来替老妈祝寿。这女孩好啊，老弟你要加油哦！：）
一条Soon Hock清蒸鱼，一只蒜荣炸鸡，一锅hotplate豆腐，一碟香菇炒芥兰，再加上个龙虾沙拉，就是我们为妈妈点的“寿宴”。虽然不是特别丰盛，大家也一样吃得开开心心。一家人，就这样热热闹闹地为妈妈庆祝了生日。：）
老妈camera shy, 就让小妹上镜为今天的庆祝留下个回忆吧！（其实这龙虾沙拉才是主角，漂亮吧？）
Had a gathering with the gals and their families again!
Nasi lemak, vegetable curry, fried chicken wings/nuggets/sausages, otah otah, cheesecake and tang yuan! Its our way of creating a localised Xmas cum Dong Zhi party... Hope all enjoyed themselves!
As usual, we were all too distracted by the kids and the food, so the only photos I took were of the beautiful Xmas cheese cake baked by Kelly! The deco on the cake were so cute... mostly ended up in the hands of the kids, I'm no fight when it comes to snatching toys, haha!
Oh this time, we had a new kid in our midst, my niece Venicia, she had such a fun time playing with the kor kors and the jie jies, that she didn't fall asleep until past midnight. Hee, and she has got herself a new boyfriend, wahahaha... don't worry, Gim Gim promise to help you keep the secret, lol!
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
A flurry of "growing-up" activities took place this month:
- Firstly, my balsam plants flowered when we returned from Genting!
- The kumquat plants are bearing fruits, look at that "sextuplets" in the photos! Just a pity they may not last til CNY... but nonetheless the bumper harvest is still a marvel to behold!
- The living room sprouted a Xmas tree! LOL... alright, it may not be a real tree, but Ivan loves it. :) Oh and to set the record straight, the leaves are in dark green, not black okie... Can't believe my bosses tried to argue over the colour :S
- My god-son is now a happy 2-yr old!
Too bad I cannot grow taller anymore. LOL
