Xmas gatherings 2009

25th Dec:

Polymates gathering at my humble house. Not full attendance of our lambchop members, but the attendees nevertheless did made the gathering GREAT! Many chit chats about our past and finally a few precious photos taken to mark our 11+ years friendship!

Food: Sarpinos pizza, KFC, Cheesecake (self-baked by Ben (TGE's hubby)), wines (complimentry from Justin), soft drinks, chicken wings.

The poly gang that makes studying in SP more FUN than stress!
Quite a couple of others missing though from this picture

Another photo, this time with added members to the Lambchop community.
They are the little Lambchoppers and the wifey/boyfriend.

27th Dec:

Secondary mates gathering at my house again. Again not the full attendence but at least the most important VIP is here - Miss Peiyi! Havent seen her for 4 yrs I think! She went to US for a scholarship attachment training in 2006 and did not had chance to meet up with her even when she was back in Singapore 18months later. Glad that she finally did made an effort to attend this gathering. This gang of friendship started since 1994 until now. Gosh, 16 years of friendship!! Isnt that one of the most precious thing in the world?!

Food: Sarpinos pizza (again!), some side orders from sarpinos, Baileys (complimentry from VIP), soft drinks, cookies (self-baked by ME!)

The forever bickering gang!

2 promoted to mummies, 1 getting married soon (I think since already bought a house mah), 2 singles (Ganbatte!)
2 more missing in action who were also married. 1 still trying for kids, the other already had 2 kids! (1 girl 1 boy)
So who is my VIP? The one in center wearing black :)


PS: Not going to upload more photos because I am saving the time of resizing of photos for more blog updates!

One, Two, Three, Four...Hi-5!

My darlings were so addicted to Hi-5. They watched it everyday. Old cast, new cast, both also like. They can also dance to the songs following the actions by the new cast. Hi-5 is shown on channel 32 (Starhub Nickelodeon) Mon-Fri 8.30am-9am and also on channel 8 (Okto) 12.30pm-1pm. I recorded every single show and during wkends when we are at home, I will play it for them to watch. End up mummy and daddy also got addicted to Hi-5 and started to learn their songs and sing for the girls.

Personally I prefer the new cast because they look younger to me and more energetic. The girls are prettier and guys are more charming. But many people told me the old cast are better. Personal preference, I guess.

I got so excited when I got the brochure from Taka (I am a member) and inside wrote Hi-5 will be coming to Taka from 3-13 Dec. 3rd Dec 1pm was open only for Taka members. Wanted to take leave and bring the girls to watch on 3rd but Hui wanted to go on 4th instead because he wanted a long wkend. But end up 4th I had company team building and boss instructed us to attend that team building. So no choice we can only go on Sat, 5th.

We were planning to catch the 1pm time show but ended up reaching Taka at 2+pm. The next show was at 4pm. So around 3+pm, we went to queue for the show, but only to find a long queue and a board saying 'All seats are taken. Pls wait for the next session'. I wanted very much for the girls to take photo with Hi-5 and it is only possible for those who get a seat into the small area infront of the Taka stage.

So we loitered around Taka area for the next show which is at 7pm. This Kiasu mummy decided to chiong for the queue at 5.45pm! But seems I am not the only Kiasu one because I was actually not the first in queue! But luckily I am not that far behind too.

Happily playing and queueing to see the Hi-5 show

6.30pm, they started to let people in. And so....4 of us were happily sitting down waiting for Hi-5 to start!

They are the Hi-5!

We got a good seat!

Look at the crowd! Children had the priviledge to sit infront while the parents had to stand behind.

The show started!

Cheeky Chloe watching attentively

The new cast of Hi-5

Waving to the crowds

She is Fely

She is Lauren

She is Casey

He is Stevie

He is Tim, my yandao!

And together, they are Hi-5!
A precious photo. So jealous of Chloe coz she was carried by my yandao!

Must be wondering where is Elsie right? This girl was so tired due to lack of sleep whole day that she fell asleep in daddy's arm when we were queueing up for the photo taking session. No matter how I tried to wake her up, she just refused and push my hands away. So ended up only Chloe was the fortunate one.

.......

1 week later, we are back to Taka again. Why? Because of Elsie! Because this mummy finds it's unfair that Elsie did not had a chance to take photo with chiobus and yandaos. Because this mummy wanted to develop the photo out and frame it but it cannot be only Chloe have and Elsie don't have. Because..because..because...and brought us once again back to Taka. And this time, mummy is contented because of this...^_^


Actually wanted a photo of both E&C with Hi-5...but today Chloe was throwing a temper. Tim wanted to carry Chloe but she refused and hug on to me tightly. They asked me to join in to take the photo together but I rejected coz I didnt want to spoilt the photo...haha...So I told them it's okie as Chloe took 1 with them last week already. Today we came again because the sleeping beauty Elsie is awake! :)

Anyway, mission accomplished today! Happy happy...Luckily it's not Elsie who was the one throwing temper or it will be another wasted trip!
