MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE~~

*runs around sprinkling confetti everywhere*

So, anyway. I had a very good Christmas this year (and to think it's not even over yet...yayyy~~). I spent the eve of Christmas with Elaine at a restaurant that sells the yummiest food *swoons and starts drooling*. Check out what I had for dinner. Heh.

I had turkey with stuffing and cranberry sauce, broccoli and baby carrots and rice with slices of olives *slurp*

And then (that wouldn't be all, would it?), I also had dessert. It was the best-est chocolate fudge I ever had. I swear. See for yourself if you don't believe me.



Chocolate fudge with crunchy walnuts topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and smothered in thick, rich, creamy chocolate sauce

See? I told you dinner was good *smiles with satisfaction*.

We both adjourned to Elaine's place and finished a bottle of wine while waiting for the minutes to tick by slowly so we can stop sipping from our glasses just long enough to look at each other and say, "Is Merry Christmas ohkay? Is MERRY CHRISTMAS~~"

As if that wasn't good enough, I came home and found a paper bag sitting on my bed.

"Dearest Jie-jie/Ju-rui, Merry Christmas. From Joel and Mummy."

Awwwww...wasn't that sweet? My Mum and my younger brother got me Christmas presents, too~! I found an OSIM Eye Massager from my Mum (see? She's so thoughtful she knew I'd need it with all the late nights I put up with), a baby blue tee from my younger brother, and 2 books (which I know will prove to be very useful in my daily dealings), also from my Mum.

And then, I met up with Tania today after weeks of not seeing her, and she gave me a lily. *Starts swooning again at the thought of receiving flowers...and lilies at that~*

See? See? I told you I had a good Christmas *grins widely*. It wasn't about the presents, or the fancy (and scrumptious) dinner (plus dessert) I had. It was the fact that I had spent it with the people that I care about that made it more special.

A very Merry Christmas to all. Hope you're having a nice one, and do look forward to a great year ahead.
