Christmas Time 2011

To me, this year just flew by. Everything happened so fast! It is the time of the year I love most. Just want to wish everyone a Blessed Christmas! HO HO HO!

I have been a good girl (I think :P). Hoping Santa will visit me this year! :) 

Sweetup Candy - Lollipops

My friend, Tammy, just started a home business. It's none other than home made lollipop, Sweetup Candy. There are a few varieties available and flavours are nutmeg, apple, blueberry, rose and peppermint (for Christmas). 

If you are looking for lollipops for children's party or birthday party, do check them out on Facebook, Twitter and blog too!

Tune back to Christmas....

The past few days has been the busiest week of my life in 2009. I have been in and out of the house until I think I need a long re-charge beginning of next year! Hahaha..... guess I am just giving myself another good excuse for a short holiday. Sounds good right? :D

I just landed back to the office after the long weekend holiday. Still sleepy, I tuned back to what I had done and like to share a little here and there. The last day of work for last week was Thursday the Christmas Eve. As I had posted earlier, I had Christmas Eve's dinner at TGIF and went home. Later in the evening, as I just got out from warm shower, I got a call from my friend TC. He called to say that he just got out to hunt for dinner and was at D'Piazza but unfortunately the place was called closed. Then he decided to venture to mamak and asked if I would like to join him. I was wondering, why not? So I rushed myself to get dressed and dry my hair. In no time, he was just outside my house waiting for me. Did I mention that.... he is the only one guy that I know who is always ON time! And always have the courtesy to call if he is running late. :D

We wanted to head to a mamak at QB but unfortunately the traffic was packed at 10:30pm. Eventually we redirected to Kayu instead. Phew... at least there is no traffic jam all the way but the restaurant is packed! He queued to get his food while I looked for a place. I was there for a drink since I am super full from TGIF. We were there till about 12:10am to realize that it was Christmas already.... we wished each other and then we decided to call it for the night.

The next morning, I got up at 8am to get myself ready for Christmas Day service in PCC. To be honest, I haven't been to church for years and I am not proud if it. But as you know my 2010 resolutions, I will make an effort to change and be back to a good Christian lifestyle that I should maintain. I went to church with my cousin sister, StepG. It was her first time attending Christmas service. :D Glad that she went. She enjoyed the praise and worship and almost fell asleep during the word. :P One step at a time I guess....  Oh, here are the balance of the Christmas prezzie I got this year. I want to thank each and everyone of them and God bless you all!

I got a Christmas card from Ecazstudios, "I Love You" Chocolate from my old pal Wilson, the pack of hand lotions from Julie and m&m's chocolate from Gabe.

How was your Christmas? :D 

Food: TGIF @ Queensbay Mall

Christmas just went past like that... tick! Wah.. good times really past by fast. So, what did you do on Christmas Eve's and actualy day? For me, I had to work as usual on the Christmas Eve. Was a long and busy day but was worth it as I had a nice dinner with my mom and cousins. Knowing that Penang is going to be seriously packed at the northern area, we decided to have dinner around Bayan Lepas area. This practically means, either Equatorial or Eastin Hotel. But unfortunately, it is fully booked already. Didn't have much choice then, we decided to dine in TGIF, Queensbay. We had never dine in there during special occasions like birthday or Christmas, this is the first time. I had the place booked for 5 pax under my name, 7:30pm. We knew that the place are going to be packed so we decided to arrive early to avoid parking problems. About 7pm, we already got ourself a car parked and we were at TGIF about 7:20pm after wondering around for a short while.

My cousin brother was being really naughty and cheeky. Guess he was filled with Christmas spirit. He walked up to TGID and told the guy in-charge at the entrances that I am Jennifer and I had a reservation for 5 pax at 7:30pm. He looked up and got so shock that he couldn't say a word. Hahahaha.... ooppss....

Eventually, I told that guy my cousin was just joking and I am Jennifer and gave him a sweet smile like this :D We were soon seated and there were a lot of families standing and waiting for their turn. We were given about 8 choices of menu to choose from and I took steak! It was good! Yummy....... We had a nice dinner wand good company too. It was a good way spending your time with your family and love ones.

I do hope you did had a great time too!

I can't remember the name of the menu available but the food was just excellent from starter to dessert!

Gifts from Christmas 2009

I have always love Christmas as it's the joy of giving and blessing in return too. Let me let you take a peek of my Christmas present. They are just lovely! As to me, it is the thoughts that counts. I will cherish them always. To all givers, a big Thank you to you and you and of course YOU. I used to have lots and lots of them but as I grow wiser, the numbers of presents automatically reduce too! Does that even sync? Eemm.... not sure if it does happen to other people but I know it does to me! May you get lots of presents from your family and friends. Have a great Christmas this year.

Blessed Christmas to each and everyone of you!

Photography: Queensbay Mall, Christmas 09

Christmas 2009 is just 5 days away and the decoration is up in Queensbay Mall. At first, I didn't understand why did QBM have the theme black in colour for this year Christmas. Until I realize that they are launching the Batman series and promotion. It don't really like it being black cause it doensn't really bring up the Christmas mood. There is nothing I can complain about, but just enjoy the best out of nothing. Can you spot the Batman logo sign? :P

I was out with Jonie one late evening for night photography in QBM. We wanted to try something new for once and here are my pictures that I would like to share. For those of you who are not in Penang and haven't visited QBM, hope you enjoy the pictures! :D

These pictures are taken from one of the roundabout in QB.

Let's jingle all the way

Reebonz

Heard of this company? Reebonz is actually an online based company that offer exclusive online shopping of premier brands via private sales. Mostly the private sales are carried out at a very short period of time only. During this Christmas season, Reebonz is having a 12 Days Christmas Giveaway. This event started on the 14 December and counting down to Christmas. To be part of it, you just need to tag yourself to the picture of the bag that you want and stand a chance to win the daily prices. To check out more, kindly visit the Reebonz's Facebook.

I find it is a good and fun way to win prizes especially designer handbags for FREE! So, I decided to participate yesterday as I missed out my chance on the first day. Nothing to lose, so I tag myself, Peky and Jonie to different bags and hoping either one of us could win. Thank God for FB to allow me to tag my friends, cause by waiting for these two ladies to tag themselves.... it will take ages! Because they are busy engineers who is looking at 0 and 1 most of the time and won't have time for all this. Good things are meant to share among good friends! :D

I have to wait patiently because the result will only be out the following day before 10am for the next round. This morning, I got myself settle down at my desk. The very first thing I did was to make sure I got good connection of internet in the office. Check! While waiting for the time, I clean up my stuff and make sure nothing will interrupt at that hour.... so tick tock tick tock. To make things worst, there was a delay in the announcement and you can see people putting lots of comment there. Well, I still waited patiently and keep refreshing my facebook. Suddenly, I was very calm then I saw the announcement!

                                    

I was so so happy and excited that I had to call Peky right away on her mobile to share the good news! She sounded so blur and I sounded too excited! Hehehehe...... Peky, Congratulations to you!
                
                    By the way, the contest is still running and I am still trying to win for myself..
