Last weekend was indeed a memorable one....

I was so terribly bored and lonely last sat.. was msging pearlyn that day.. and I was on my way back from window shopping (alone after J dropped me at parkway).. on the train, I then realised how nice if i know how to drive.. then i can send him to his function at east coast and drive home myself..

Back home, I was so tired.. rested and so glad to receive gd news from pearlyn that sunday's gathering cum xmas party's still onz! So started testing the recipes that I wanna try the next day.... hahahha... how kiasu i am right? well, dun wanna serve the guests with horrible food lah.. =P

J came home real late.. past midnite.. eventhough he promise he to be home early =(

Well... so much of being alone at home.. but it's really nice to have a home of your own.. we are comfortably adapting to the environment =)

Sunday, we went marketing at our regular.. 'NTUC' hahahha... buy 5 packets of chicken thighs (grilled chicken), potatoes & mayo (intended to bake but think too much carbo.. so dropped the plan), broccoli (steamed broccoli and carrots), lean pork (my specialty sweet and sour pork).. etc..

After our lunch, I started preparing.. then last minute decide to make some custard puffs for starter and dessert.. hehe.. it was my first try on the custard and 3rd try on the puffs... with the 24yr old electric mixer that my mum hand over to me & the new oven i got ... ah and not forgetting.. the expert baker/chef... it was a success! so thankful it turn out well... at least i got praises that they are nice hor.. one of my fren thought it's frm polar leh =PP grinning *0*

Also prepared some more yummy bear christmas cookies for them =) wrapped in 'disco paper' (frm ntuc).. actually it's jus plastic wrapper with prints on it.. now then i know it's called disco paper.. hahhahah... learn something??!?!?

Pearlyn came.. then sharon.. finally Joleen and Wilson.. They made their way here.. despite of the heavy rain.. the couple are drenched as their ride their bikes here..
Our potluck party was full of yummies.. dunno why i din take any photos.. (shy lah) ah! will take photo of the leftovers tomorrow! can't stand myself.. wait for the photos to be posted!

Sharon's korean mayo salad --- yummy ungraded ( J din taste it.. hehe)
Pearlyn pizza -- yummy **** (4 stars)
Joleen fried bee hoon -- yummy ***1/2 (3 1/2 stars)
Lyn's grilled chicken -- yummy
Lyn's custard puff -- yummy
Lyn's sweet and sour pork -- yummy ungraded.. cos J scared I will pull his ears for saying the wrong thing ba...

After makan, we had small talks.. part of it was..
Joleen to J: can request for normal working hours like 8 to 5 right?
(Lyn walks out from kitchen and overheard.. quickly join into the conversation)
Lyn (pretending): Can ah can ah?? ist??
J to Joleen: No lah.. unless you dun wan a career there lah.. those are the condemn ones..
(Lyn thinking.. u wan a career there meh?)

Finale.. the gift exchange!
We did a shuffle on the gifts and like last yr, pick the numbers =)
I got a makeup pouch.. but using it as a carrier for handphone and stuff now =P
Glad sharon like the accessory I got =)

Monday is off day.. slept till 11.30am.. piggy haha... well, i have Wilbur on my wallpaper now! hahhaha....
bake some more custard puff for mummy.. she loves custard/durian puffs.. beginning of last nite's dinner, thought they wun finish the puffs.. but left only 4 from the dinner.. hehe.. think i made like 25? Went ikea alone and i feel like a part time 'tai tai'.. shopping on wkdays.. hahahhaha... bought some stuff there.. think i will always have something to buy from ikea.. then excited that i have a direct bus frm there to mummy's hse.. i deliver the custard puffs to her and dad =)

As usual, we talk and talk when we meet.. hehe.. always feel that it's equivalent to as much conversation i have with J for the whole week.. this batch of trial and error puffs are a bit too small lah.. so hahhah.. u know my skills.. well, see how long my baking craze will last this time 'quoted frm bel'.. =D

Finally.. 4 days before Joy comes home! so eager to catch up with her... ntez..
