I spoke to my mother yesterday. it was still a little awkward. conversation topic wasn't helping either. ah well.

On to other things. one, we gave out the presents to jo, colin, patrick/michelle/sophie today. james got his last week, and the remaining 2 presents belong to xy and jeann/stephen.

i'm collecting xy's present today from the store after work. because she got me something really nice, i've had to do some minor re-shuffling of the presents. i do hope she likes it, cos she bought me something she wanted for herself. aww.... xy is otherwise known as the "energiser bunny" cos she really has boundless energy. she is taking fencing with colin in addition to salsa lessons. she's really trying to fill her days with activities. ah.... youth.

i'm planning the menu for the boxing day party at our place. current thinking is:

Starters

  • prawn cocktail - still toying with the idea of making my own cocktail sauce
  • creamy mushroom soup - tried it over the weekend, slight tweaks needed
  • Ham & Cheese from Stanley

Mains - Spanish Baked Chicken or Teriyaki Chicken

Sides

  • potato salad - where's the kewpie?
  • creamed spinach with bacon - trying it out this weekend
  • roasted parsnips - i hope there are nice fresh ones

Dessert - pie from Mich/Pat

Wondering whether i should make both mains, or do another pork or fish thingamie for mains...

I haven't read your blog for a long time. Hope the cold war between you and your mum has since abated.
Whatever you are planning to cook on boxing day...sounds yummy!!!! We are planning xmas eve dinner on our own as well. But I will leave HC to deal with the cooking. If not, we will have to order pizza on standby.

3.5 more working days. my mind is on holiday! last evening's kickboxing class totally killed me! i huffed and puffed and threatened to punch my imaginary opponent senseless, but in the end, it was i that suffered, not the air molecules that got knocked around. my body is aching like a 90-year-old who's just completed 100 push-ups. i couldn't sleep last night because of the pain. i had to wake hao-e up to massage my shoulder-blades which were so sore and is still kicking up a ruckus behind me. my gosh! i tis old and feeble.

Back Safe and Sound

This is my first post since we left Bermuda for Singapore more than 3 weeks ago. We are battling serious jet lag this time. it might be the age-factor (yikes!) or because we didn't rest properly on the flights (yes plural!) back cos we were busy trying to exhaust all the new movies on krisworld, or maybe a combination of both lah. but both of us have been trying very hard to keep awake at 3pm. yes, the sleep monster strikes at that hour! thank God we are going to remove time saving tonight, so we have 1 less hour to correct this weekend. talking about movies, twilight was amazingly easy on the eye! although i hesitate to call ourselves twilight converts given that i was highly skeptical at first. but the eye candy in the form of Rob Pattersin/Edward Cullen is really irresistible (did you know Rob Pattersin was Cedric in Harry Potter??) .... argh. i wanna get bitten by this vamp too lor! BITE ME! Hao-e even bought New Moon (the sequal) to read this weekend and i spent almost ...
