Christmas fun =)

I made this on the 22nd of December because it was the celebration in Malaysia...I think...LOL! Anyway, Nick's ones look better =p

Tong Yuin in ginger and brown sugar syrup!

It is Boxing Day today =) Went to work straight from BC's house. This year's Christmas wasn't that bad at all. Well, besides the sad amount of gifts I got =p Anyway, the public transports were cut off on Christmas day so we can't travel around. Therefore, we went to Boon Choo's house to stay two nights...Xmas eve and Xmas day =) We had too much to eat!!! Seriously! She is always over-generous with serving food to us! Xmas eve we had Chinese style fried noodles (but using spaghetti), pork pies and a bottle of champagne she bought from France. We then had LOADS of snacks (raisins, muruku, salted peanuts) and Ching's Xmas cake =) it was lovely...both the looks and the taste...LOL! Of course we had English tea to go with =)

After a few drinks =) LOL!

While we were having our dinner on Christmas day, BC's friend invited us over to their place for Christmas =) We agreed to go!!! LOL! The house was HUGE! They had a swimming pool at the back of their house AND a gym AND PLENTY of space for their dog, Fred, to run around! They prepared wonderful lunch* for us =)
