Went straight to meet me vulture mates last night, in short it was WILD and FUN. Agreed to meet up at around 5~6pm, Ah Shing was interning (glad it's getting better for you already bud) so she said she'll be there around 7pm. Peeps were at Heeren, on my way from Taka to Heeren, those lights were mesmerizing, albeit the fact that they were like Shing said Deepavali-ish, and there were kids, families and people taking pictures everywhere. There were many displays of christmas scenes, figures of baby Jesus, the 3 wise men, sheep and many others along the way. Ahhh and the air was cool and nice, breezy walk to Heeren, though it was a lil paced since it's Friday night out. Was so excited to meet me mates, and I guess I got bumped around a couple of times, haha oh well, rugby training. Haha but it was all smiles, no sorries needed, all it takes is a smile >>> =D

Haha finally seen them!!! It's been so long since I saw them! Ahhh sheer bliss~ LOL. I told them I wore a red top and looked like Santa Claus, distributed candy canes, which added to the Santa Claus-ness. Haha and we're good to go, EATING that is. We dined at Vill'age ( the imitation Marche right down to the COW and the deco! Food and ambience was AWESOME!), and we were promptly seated at the very Yeeha place, like some cowboys cabin. Yeeha~ Felt so good to be seated around a table (it was a tad too small, think they underestimated our eating prowess), the gentle and cosy orangey light! And we were sitting near this WALL OF WINE, ahhh ambience...checked! And we literally CHIONG-ED to the food lar, carrying our cards eagerly, circling around the area (yeah all vulture-like) , finally we got chicken breast (portion's pathetic, and we made a lil dirty joke about the breast *winks winks*), rosti and this sauerkraut-like HUGE sausage, seafood baked rice, seafood platter, pizza and washed them all down with Snapple for our FIRST round. The table was a lil too small for all the dishes lar, LOL RM said the plates were gonna slide on the floor. We sweeped through all the dishes lar, which brings to mind "Gone in 60 seconds". Yeah! We were THAT fast! Everyone were like ok ok this eat liao then faster go on to the next dish, so we decided we need to slow down and relax. LOL. As usual we laughed a lot, and even coined Shimmy a new nickname,but we didn't really feel full lor! If Zhiling came along we could order one more dish, and eat a lil more cus' Z-Link is human, and we're vultures.

Then this cute guy (Vill'age staff with a microphone attached) came and asked us if we would like to join this competition that they were having, so Xinyi (she confessed in the toilet post-battle, LOL) said OK then all of us kinda said yes not knowing what we just got ourselves into. Haha then the guy told us it a wine-stomping competition, in collaboration with the wine festival that they were having). WINE STOMPING LEH! Thought this kinda thing only happens in movies one!?! Haha anyways, one really does the wildest, craziest, funniest stuff in the world when you're with great pals lar. So, in the end, I went into the barrel with grapes, and our opponent was...how should I put it, she was a worthy opponent, we were saying it's like kids (us) vs adults (them) lor. Haha 3...2..1 GO! And I really used all my milk-drinking power to stamp on those bloody juicy grapes lar, vultures and humans alike were busy squashing grapes with their hands also! Shimmy was holding onto the wine glass, and alas! We lost. Haha but it was all in the name of fun, and we even got a $15 cash voucher! Haha I wore sneakers w/o socks, so I hope they won't use it to brew wine lor. XD

Tired after that work-out, and also financially stronger by $15 we rushed off for desserts!

YAY! And I officially declare that the Chemistry band is back! And we're gonna do a trance remix of Di Nu Hua (the very well-loves Cantonese opera song about 2 star-crossed lovers) and Ammonia ala collision course style. Woohoo ~ It's gonna be HOT.

And we spotted a Christmas tree with SWAROVSKI CRYSTALS deco, and another one with a water feature at the base lor! Kao, damn nice! So we crapped and laughed like there's no tomorrow on our walk to Robinsons to look for Cheryl, Guess was having some sale there, and there was this denim and leather (should be faux leather) wallet with some nice bling-bling accessory. Cool and rugged. Wooh~ Then we continued to walk towards to Dhoby Gaut MRT station, passed by Istana and here we gave Shimmy another nickname, NATIONAL GARDENER for ISTANA! Haha, Shimmy it's nickies galore man.

Wooh~ More outings next week with Vulture gang! Weeee~* Bliss~*

Then today we were bakers for a day! My Mum wanted to bake ONG LAI TARTS (Christmas leh!), so we finally did it today! Ummm the dough was made by my Mum lar, BUT I rolled the ONG LAI and put it on the pastry. And my Mum made some without the ONG LAI (just the way I like it!). SO NICE! Yummylicious!!! Next week I'm gonna chiong for the oven! My choco chip cookies!
