Christmas 2013 - Party 1, with my Sec Sch friends

Christmas in 2013 has been nothing short of being great, being surrounded by my closest friends and family.

This year, Andy & I decided not to host any parties because we have been super busy, with his work and my clearing leave to spend quality time with both kids.

That, and because Ashton is at the toddling stage and is likely to destroy any Christmas decorations we have in the house.

 

The first party I attended this year was with my secondary school girl friends.

Known one another for 17 years and counting!!

 

 

Angeline's baby girl Ava. The only princess in our group of ALL boyssss!!

Siew Wei's no. 2, Princeton. She has 3 boys. I always wonder how anyone can stand having more than 2 boys.

Angeline's lovely place.



We enjoyed a homecooked meal by Angeline and of course, I helped out as well Ok!
Oven baked Shitake mushrooms with minced meat and cheese, Vongole, and garden salad.

Cooking the Vongole.

See my MILF girlfriend Angeline and I.

My girls and I, missing is Huiwen, who already met up with them when I was in Bintan.
So love these girls :)

 

 

Bintan december 2013 - Part 3. Nirwana drive-about and Tanjung Pinang day tour.

We chartered an MPV to take us to Tanjung Pinang for seafood and some "shopping".

Of course, by shopping in Tanjung Pinang, I really meant we went to the street markets and my MIL bought some sundries.

 

Not really my type of shopping, but at least somebody was happy.

 

 

 

Earlier that morning before our day tour and after breakfast, Andy drove us to Nirwana Mini Zoo and to the beach.

Grouchy Pants not happy to be at the beach!

How can two children of the same gender, from the same parents, be so different? I wonder.

Play until pants drop?!

 

We wish everyone Happy Holidays and a blessed Christmas plus New Year!
We are done wrapping presents for parties next week.
Super busy period of feasting and making merry this time of the year.

Really thankful for my loved ones and good friends.

Thank you all for being part of our lives.

Love ya!

Bintan december 2013 - Part 2.

As you can see, we spent A LOT of time diving and soaking in the pool. Especially Adam.

He loves water. Has always been my water baby.

Except Ashton. How can two boys from the same parents be polar opposites?

I'm not sure either. Grouchy baby doesn't like water.

 

 

Ohhh wait! One more post on our day tour to Tanjung Pinang in the next post Part 3 coming right up!
Bear with me :)
