Most of my annual gatherings are in the month of December, except for one which was postponed till 2014. T.T
I must thank all my friends for turning up for gatherings and those who are willing to spend some time with me, celebrating my birthday! I feel so good to have these people around! hahaha...
This year, I got many 'surprise' birthday presents~!
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles LEGO set! OMG! Nice right?! I know!!! Too bad there are two missing turtles in this set! This means I need to buy the other two turtles (Michelangelo and Donatello). I was looking for the 4 ninja turtles characters and was planning to get them. So I am like so surprised to receive this! =D I heard that the original characters were not sold separately. Those in the market are most likely MIC (made-in-China). Will have to decide if I want to get another set or just get the not-so-originals! Have to think of where to set up and put this display set too! *Headache* haha!
On the actual date of my birthday, I met JH, Xin & Bel for KTV! Ok, don't ask me when was the last time we went together... 'cos none of us remember! But had a short but fun time together! JH & Bel got me a Waffle Maker~! haha... I wonder why did they decide on this present! haha! Since I am expecting an kitchen appliance from another group of friend, I felt like I am having a house warming, rather than Birthday~! hahaa!
On the other hand, Xin got me a very ATAS trendy bag. It must have cost a lot! I must make myself look good to be able to look stylish using the bag~! haha... Thanks Xin! Like the loud colour, hope I am able to use it soon! haha. She also made a Christmas tree using beads that got Nat & I fighting over it! She gave it to us on 20th when we met for another of my mini-celebration brunch at Spathe. I decided not to post the pics of our X*mas presents (else this blog post will never end!) Anyway, Nat got confused with what I wanted and told Ber to get me a electric whisk/beater! haha! Thanks Ber for changing it for me. Hence, I must wait for another few days before I officially got the correct one.
Yes! This is the shocking expression I got when I saw the present! (I looked more shocking then!) Imagine me carrying this HUGE present home! I wonder how Ber managed to bring it from work through the Orchard crowd. We went TCC at Peranakan Place for our X*mas celebration with Angelina, Jingda and Natalia. But unfortunately, Jingda was sick and unable to attend. I, myself, was sick too but managed to survive that night. I was almost bed-ridden on X*mas day! Anyway, this is what they got for me....
2013 has been an eventful year so must really really thank all those that helped me and took care of me over the year... =D Let's hope for a better 2014~!

First birthday present of the year~! Volkswagen Kombi car models! Met Diana, Choon & Derek on 1st Dec (after my exhausting run...) and Diana gave me this set as a present! <3 I find them cute when I saw them in airport back in July when I go for my Phuket trip! Shuyi said it will be cheaper in BKK and Diana bought it for me when she went in Nov (I think) ! Thanks Diana, Love you much much! =D

| Cute Socks =D |
I met Gwen, Shirley, Boon Chay & WJ on 5th Dec for gathering and received 3 X*mas presents! Sorry guys for not bringing any! =x But thanks for the presents! One of the present is a hand-made socks with choc stuffed inside (see above)! haha... Nice!

| Happy Birthday to.... Me! |
On 18th Dec, I met up with a bunch of friends! Ok, I should name them! haha... They are Joey, WJ, Jx, Dz, Terry and two Vietnamese sisters, Truc and Ngoc (as on FB, haha). Elaine was not able to turn up due to illness, but it is ok as she made it up by treating me to Antoinette desserts on Saturday. Nevertheless, we had a great time having dinner at Mushroom Pot & counting down to my Birthday at Changi T3. The sisters got me a Tee. I have yet to try on... haha... no confidence since it is erm... M size! hahaha...
I was wondering what these people got me... Too bad not the RV residences that was on the newspaper wrapper! But to my pleasant surprise, they gave me what I am looking for a while!

| 8in1 Food Processor |
8in1! No wonder the box is so big... 8 in 1! There is grater, blender, mixer, chopper etc... I also cannot remember the 8 functions off hand! The brand is rather unknown to us though. Hopefully, it will work perfectly! They are asking me to make fries! haha... Now I must get myself more hardworking in the kitchen for 2014!
My last gathering for the year is with my Photonics friends~! 7 friends turned up and we got a X*mas gift exchange after our lunch at Tim Ho Wan (Toa Payoh). Most of us have never been to Tim Ho Wan before, which is why we decided to go there. The food is pretty good! Unfortunately, I don't really like the staff. Boo!
Like the past few years (forget when exactly), I received the most expensive gift there, which is over the budget set! Thanks HC for the Jean Perry towel, L'occitane shampoo and conditioner! May use them when I am on trip since they are less than 100ml per bottle! haha
