+ Before Santa Comes, Before Xmas comes, WE already celebrated Xmas. Haha.. +

I just came home from my fun Xmas outing! 我想我应该从头说起。


I left my house at around 3.40pm plus plus, coz I didn’t want to be late! Even though Jupiter keeps saying that I am punctual only because I don’t want to treat dessert, BUT that’s not totally true. Partly is because I really want to 改过自新. Haha.. SERIOUSLY. Anyway, I left the house and waited for the bus. I keep having the feeling that I might forget something. I mean.. I just came out of the house with a clutch that contains only my wallet and my handphone. But I remembered to bring the Xmas presents. So.. I have an insecure feeling, since I always bring a lot of things. Haha..


Well, turns out, I was worrying for nothing, because I managed to reach Buona Vista like half and hour before the meeting time, which is 5pm. Woo hoo~ Happy. Haha.. Its like super early, and Jupiter sent and sms while I was still walking towards the station. (I think. I dun really rmb the exact time. Haha.. ) Anyway, the sms says that Servbot is going to be late, and so I maybe can have free dessert! Haha.. Turns out the both of them are still punctual, and Mango is the late one. Haha.. I keep pestering her for Haagen Daaz Ice cream. Coz I shudnt have eaten such marvelous ice cream! Its true that Haagen Daaz really makes the best ice cream I’ve ever tasted. Yum~ Right. That’s not the point.


Mango reached soon. And before she came, the three of us were saying that we are in the black hole series of clothes! The 3 of us have some black element in our dressing today. Haha.. So we were guessing what colour Mango might be wearing. I guessed Pink, Jupiter guessed white, and Servbot guessed blue. In the end, none of us are right, because Mango came in YELLOW. Bai tuo.. That yellow tee is super artistic and I like it! She should have worn this during our Kbox trip. Haha..


Anyway, when all has arrived, we started proceeding towards the Holland V Swensons! Haha.. I seriously CANNOT believe that it IS POSSIBLE to walk from Buona Vista MRT station to Holland V!!! And My GOODNESS there are really COOL shops down there! Hidden from us! We definitely must return again. Its really a cosy place for gatherings. During our walk to the Holland V Swensons, we saw really cool restaurants that have exotic feel can! I totally LOVE the idea of eating under the sky! We reached Swensons quite fast. But we decided that we could like somehow eat and stay in the restaurant for a long time. Haha..


And so we entered the restaurant. In the fridge, there were Swenson Xmas Log cakes, and Mango’s eyes lit up. But all reserved, and we cant possibly eat that! Too exp! Haha.. For dinner, I ate Veggie Baked Rice, and I must comment that the baked rice is MARVELLOUS! Swenson veggie baked rice is the BEST I’ve ever eaten! So moist yet not sickening, and the corn is sweet, and vegetable is chunky, and the rice has this really nice fragrance. Yum!


Mango ate Crayfish pasta, which looks really crispy. She polished off the pasta first as usual, then proceed to devouring the flesh of the crispy crayfish. Haha.. Did I make the process sound gross?


Well.. more to come.


Today, the two guys ate Burger set, and the only difference, I think, is that one is like two mini burger, while another is a gigantic single burger, WHICH, is actually the same, if you piece the two mini burgers into one. Haha.. Servbot is interested to try Jupiter’s gigantic single burger next time. Haha.. As for me, I happily “goup” one French fries. Yum~ haha.. But I prefer the Mac one. Hehe.. Especially SOGGY fries!! Yum Yum~ haha.. I was a little surprised to see eggplant slices in between the burgers, that looks cute. And little flags were pierced onto the top layer of the burger bread. Definitely looks American. I wonder if Swenson origin from England or America?


Oh ya.. We drank a lot of ice water today. The waiter had to keep helping us refill! Haha..


For dessert, we ate Topless 5, and I love it! I love ice cream without the extra toppings, like caramel, cherries…etc. Servbot commented that caramel is good. But for me, I just like ice cream in their original form. Ice creams need to be like that! Haha.. I ate Sticky chewy chocolate, Jupiter ate the same. We love chocolate! Haha.. Mango ate Mango. (Hahaha..) Servbot ate Cookies and crème, and our common flavour is Mint. My GOODNESS~ I didn’t know that mint can taste SO GOOD! Definitely a must try flavour. Haha.. Servbot was the first to put down the spoon. Mango next, so left me and Jupiter still eating. I think, Jupiter eats A LOT. He said he is full, after the Burger set, but still can eat so much. Haha..


Because I was sitting opposite Mango, so I noticed that her headband is a golden leather one. Quite cute to me. Matches the yellow tee she wore. But I would so wana see her wear the crystal headband that Yiwen gave her on her Bdae. I tell you, that headband is totally CUTE! Must wear ok. Haha.. She has her own principles to wearing clothes. “ti kee”. Haha..


MY goodness. I STM. I forgot when did we exchanged presents. Is it after dessert? Anyway, the point is, we exchanged presents. Haha..


With Jupiter’s improvision, Mango’s draw lots of Xmas presents idea was carried out. I am the manufacturer, and Servbot and Mango are the supplier. Coz Servbot supplied the receipt, and Mango supplied the pen. Haha.. I wrote 1,2,3,4 in my “artistic” way. And it turns out that Mango is the first one to go. Haha..


She handed me the present that she bought for me. I opened the forever 21 yellow bag, and was delighted to see the super cute chicken notebook she bought for me from Artbox. My goodness! Its super cute, and each page has a different design. So I think it is very special. She also gave me a super cute Mirror disguised as Chocolate! Its super nice and useful!! I LOVE notebooks. Notebooks and Cups are my two favourite must give presents. Haha.. And it turns out, I received a cup this xmas too. Haha.. Mango also gave me a super cute friendship card that has a personal message behind. I LOVE it! I shall make use of it as a cardholder! Haha.. Right now, it is sitting inside my cupboard.


Back to Mango’s distribution of the presents. Next, she handed a bag with loads of colourful hearts to Jupiter. And he opened it. And exclaimed with delight, that it is a Super Cute Blue face, white strap watch, which he really liked. Haha.. And immediately said to his poor black watch that it is going to be replaced. Poor watch~ haha.. Anyway, the blue is really nice. Not the dull kind. Looks cool. Haha.. He also received a friendship card holder, which has a sock that is like so cute can. Haha.. Mine is an angel.


Mango handed the 3rd present to Servbot, and Servbot carefully opened the present, for fear that he might ruin the wrapping paper. And Jupiter sitting opposite to him encouraged him to just TEAR the wrapping paper. Haha.. How can I become graceful when my friend is like that? Haha.. So after some careful and skillful unwrapping procedure, the present is revealed. It is a TOTALLY KAWAII Robot like coin box. Servbot said the present really looked like something else that Jupiter bought. And Jupiter had to hurriedly say, “Shh.. it’s a secret.” Haha.. Servbot placed the coinbox on the shelf-thingy beside our table. Servbot’s friendship card holder is green, and he loved it~ He said that green is his favourite colour. Good choice Mango~ haha..


Next, it was my turn to give out the presents. First, I passed my grey plastic bag to Mango, and Mango exclaimed with fake delight that it is a cute girl notebook. Haha.. Coz we went shopping together, and I asked her which one she liked best. Haha.. Then she discovered that her 2nd present from me, is a cute snowman snow globe, which I had forgotten to remove the price tag. Damn~ haha.. I encouraged her to open the box to shake the snow globe. I knew she liked the Jimmy snow globe. But I couldn’t afford it. Hellooo.. its 88bucks. Haha.. So I gave her this instead. Hope you will still like it. Haha.. This one can shake all day long! Haha..


Then I passed a small black plastic bag to Jupiter, and when he opened it, I cant say he is delighted. He seemed pleased, but not as thrilled as when he discovered Mango’s watch. Haha.. So I had to ask him if he liked his present. Haha.. I was disappointed to find out that his handphone has no place to put the thing. Sian~ haha.. Too bad. He said he’ll find some place to hang it. That better be a NICE place! Coz I like this present a lot. Haha.. I love bling bling things, like Luo zhi xiang. Haha.. He confirmed that he liked the present. Haha.. Glad that he liked it!


Then I passed Servbot the presents I bought for him. That robot toy that me and Mango chose really created laughter. Haha.. That robot is funny! Haha.. Can cheer you up when life is bored. So I concluded it is a laughter creating toy. Haha.. Hope he likes it. Haha.. I also gave him a pretty notebook that’s really blue and has a scenic view. He placed the robot toy beside the coin box, and ta-da.. we started crowding the shelf-like thing with our presents. Haha..


Jupiter picked the number 3. So he is next to hand us our xmas presents. He gave Servbot’s sister first. Nope. Servbot’s sister isn’t here. Haha.. It’s a cute doll keychain, which is similar to the one I picked last time. Haha.. Then, he handed Servbot his present, which is a sunshine doll who will always be nodding his head from left to right and back again. Haha.. Super cute gift! And this doll settled in his new location. Yes.. the shelf-like thingy. Haha..


Jupiter was super worried that I didn’t like his present. I assured him that I will like his present. Coz I am an aesthetic person. As long as the present is not ugly, I will like. haha.. I received a shiny purple plastic cup that’s called yummy cup. Haha.. There’s a blue berry print on a bulging lavender heart. Except for the fact that it is plastic, I love it! Haha.. And it comes with a little stirring spoon, AND a super cute reindeer card which is now pasted in between my sailormoon powercard and Titanic shiny card, on the inner door of my personal cupboard. Inside got personal message about emo. Suitable for me. Hahaha..


Jupiter’s present for Mango, is a transparent bear coin box, which he hopes can help her save save save! Hahaha.. I think its super cute and useful. Haha..


After receiving different presents from us, it is finally Servbot’s turn to give us our xmas presents. He gave Jupiter a Christian/Jesus Book like decoration, with meaningful words that are supposed to be encouraging and generate positive energy for the easily grumble Jupiter. Haha..


For Mango, Servbot gave her a Mango Towel Cake! Goodness! I am bit worried that the constant sight of Mango might make Mango hungry for Mango cake all the time. Haha.. But I think Mango has enough self discipline. Haha.. Mango is delighted with her present, and decided to leave the reading of the message on the bus ride home.


For me, Servbot gave me a super cute CAT deco!! I LOVE CATS! Just like my big sis liked fren, Yan fang. Haha.. Xiujuan dislikes cats loads. Haha.. And this ornament actually has a compartment to put things. Servbot placed the message in the black hole. Its supposed to like bounce out. But it didn’t, coz its not spring. Haha.. Servbot didn’t want me to read it now. But I am curious. Haha.. So I read immediately. Haha..


After our Xmas Gift Exchanging Session, I played the most FUN song guessing game ever. Coz I didn’t know most of the songs, so it became like a PK between Jupiter and Servbot. Mango made the game!!! My goodness! She really 为了这个game 废寝忘食。Oright. 忘食 I dun think she did. Haha.. But sacrifice of sleep is a sure thing! She was making the friendship cards, and only managed to start doing the song game at 1AM! Goodness! 1AM! I am.. I am! I am reading a book. Hahaha.. Right. I guess we are all night owls. BUT~ She slept at 4AM~ Goodness ME! 4am yesterday, I think I was in my dreamland and doing that English exam! Did I mention that yesterday I dreamt that I was like doing English exams. My god. Dream also need to be so stressed. Haha..


I was at first excited to try my best for the game. But it turned out that most of the songs I really DUNO~ At most is I only remembered seeing these lyrics. Haha.. Coz I am someone who pays attention to lyrics more than melody. Goodness. Haha.. That’s a sensible excuse for me. Haha.. Anyway, we played that game which has 50 questions, for like several hours, until 11pm! Haha.. Who knows that song games can be so time consuming and engaging! Haha..


I totally LOVE to recite the song lyrics. Haha.. Most of them are really poetic. Good for you Mango! Bravo! Poetic is trendy! Haha.. At least to me. : ) Jupiter is the Big winner of the day. But he is a terribly NOISY player. Hahaha.. He keeps disturbing people when they are like thinking of the songs, until at one time, Servbot had to shh.. him. Haha.. As for Mango, she was irritated & amused by Jupiter’s constant “dancing” on his chair, and keep on saying totally random things, and exaggerating actions, as well as his imitations of the Little Nyonya drama. Haha.. Mango also exasperated by my speed of saying I duno. Haha.. I really duno ma! In the end, Mango told me the answer to some of the songs, and I was like the co-organiser. Super fun! Haha.. No competing stress. Haha..


I changed seats with Mango, and had to keep repeating that I do not know Jupiter, coz he is over active. Plus he keep have the bad habit of beating ppl’s arm. OF coz I beat back! But he beat back again. Childish! Hahaha.. And to “punish” his overwhelming desire to win, me and Servbot decided that we shall not tell him who won the 2nd and 3rd place. WAHAHA~ haha.. I wonder if Servbot already said. Haha.. Anyway, Jupiter didn’t care about it eventually. He won. Haha.. He really funny la! And keep saying wad “Yo Yo Yo” in the Chor Chor (陈老太) way. Well, if you are a little Nyonya fan. You WILL noe wad I am referring to. In the end, the advertisement stand turned into the 牌位！Goodness me. Haha.. Mango kept tsk-ing that I noe the song’s singer, but duno how to sing the song. Haha.. So funny~ Well.. towards the end of the game, each song question needs to be answered in 30 seconds! Super gan jiong. Haha..


At 11 plus, We had to leave, otherwise we cant get home~ Today is definitely a super fun outing! I enjoyed myself A LOT. Just like the last time we met, and play the Q&A game. And the cannot dun laugh out loud exercise trip. Haha.. I totally LOVE all the presents that I received today! Hope to cya all soon! In fact, its just next week! Haha...


That’s all for now! Ciao~ : )
