Feels strange to be up at 9am and not having to head to work. Usually when I’m on leave it means I’m traveling, so having this bum-time at home is a tad disconcerting. Been meaning to post since my days have been quite full-on but I haven’t been taking many recent pics.
How to get what you want for Christmas:
Just kidding. Pix from Audrey’s birthday thing a week before Christmas which was incidentally the start of the mad party season!
The usual suspects:
At the office party me and LC helped organised. Was fun running around town buying santa hats and presents for the lucky draws! Wish I won the iPod. Overall was significantly less mad than last year (no strange gold heads) but however we had an inter-floor drinking comp and I still managed to bruise an ankle chasing after a quarter pounder (don’t ask).
Another fun party was Christmas Eve at Lola’s where me and Nik cooked dinner! On the Jap-inspired menu was:
Fusilli with ham and a miso-based sauce
Grilled tiger prawn on an egg whites with tobikko and mayonnaise
Choice of Norwegian salmon teriyaki or
Eye fillet with seaweed butter sauce with
Stir fried enoki and button mushrooms, truffle mash and sauteed asian greens
Home made lychee cheesecake (OK we didn’t make this tee hee)
Thankfully it wasn’t too disastrous putting us in the kitchen. It was the annual bubbles party and safe to say we had lots.
Now I need to start packing for Bangkok. Haven’t been there for more than 10 years so am very much looking forward to it!
Happy 2008 y’all ;)
