Merry Christmas
Mummy made Christmas breakfast - mashed sweet and normal potatoes with egg.
Our special guests - Charlene and Benson, came over for Christmas lunch at our place. Our chef of the day was mummy (as usual) :) We were too hungry to even bother to take pictures.
Charlene's pudding.
Our new refrigerator! $1388 after discount (original price $1799).
We bought this on Thursday night at Harvey Norman, Browns Plains.
It was my first time seeing Rui so 爽快-ly buying something!!!
MORE TO COME! Hohoho, boxing day sales start tomorrow!
Charlene and Benson's Christmas pressie to us :)
Now we have a whole cupboard full of glasses.
Season Greetings
More Christmas pressies from colleagues :)
I made Oreo cheesecake (aka cookies and cream cake) just now!!!
Crushed Oreo cookies and butter as the base
Philly cheese!!!
Must follow the recipe in order to succeed
Not satisfied with the layout because Rui and mummy were like "??????"
Two more days until my 5-day weekend!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy 26th
Went to work on Thursday (9/9/2010) and the first thing Michelle said wasn't "Good morning", it was "here you go, happy birthday!"...
This is very sweet :)
10/9/2010 Friday, took a flex day off. Had breakfast with mummy and Rui at Garden City shopping center at 6.30am because Rui had to go to work. Chatted with mummy over tea until 9.30am... that was when the shops started to open. Shopped the whole day and bought decorations for the house. It is ALWAYS fun shopping with your own mother! :) Oh yes, and it was Hari Raya. No lemang or whatsoever but it was a happy day.
911 Saturday, woke up at 6.45am because Rui couldn't sleep anymore -_-'' He went out of the room and I checked FB in bed. Saw Jake and Riley's raya pics which my sister-in-law tagged me in! A great start for a wonderful day.
These pictures melt my heart
The boys are so adorable, I can't believe Riley is walking now :P

Left the room feeling a bit hungry, looked for Rui but nobody in sight, mummy was still in her room as it was still early (again... 6.47am-ish)! Went to the kitchen and was stunned to see SOMETHING on the kitchen counter...
WOWZER!!!
*Jumped with joy for 5 whole minutes around the house*
... but could not scream to express my happiness!!!
Still, Rui was no where in sight!!!
Suddenly saw him walking out of the other toilet... the first thing he asked was "why are you up so early?! Are you happy?? Happy birthday!!! I think I heard you jump, could you reenact the scene again? :D"
I felt so complete.
I thought I had received my birthday present on Friday -- he gave me permission to spend $100 on clothes and a lottery ticket. THAT was gold because he doesn't let me buy unnecessary stuff, saying that I have way too many clothes... erm, hello?! It's never enough. So I bought a jumpsuit from Bardot and a lottery ticket for exactly one hundred dollars. *乖*
Received a text message from Tim, my colleague. So nice of him to remember my birthday every year! He printed out the birthday message and put it on my desk last year ;)
My two most important chefs were preparing the ingredients for the currypuffs and springrolls. The birthday girl helped out with the dough kneading and etcetera too :P
All home made ;) It's always good to have mummy around
Received a call from my brother and Jake was on the line...
Koko, "Jake, come here and say happy birthday to Mai Jas, or else you wouldn't get the Lego set"
Jake, "Hello, Mai Jas, happy birthday!"
Koko, "Ask Mai Jas what did she get for her birthday?"
Jake - *repeats his dad's question* and added "got Lego?"
Me, "no Lego, Jake. I got an iPad!"
Koko *in the background*, "huh!!!"
Jake *followed accordingly to his dad's tone*, "huh!!!"
He then paused for a few seconds and continued asking me "got Lego?" ... SO CUTE!!!
Just in time for high tea. It was a birthday party cum house warming celebration.
Jacqueline, her hubby and her brother-in-law gave us a pineapple (which means ong lai), a gold pumpkin (kam guai?) and lots of corns... very auspicious! :) Charlene and Benson gave us a coffee machine, a toaster and a bath and shower gel for me :)
HERE COMES THE CAKE!
My all time favourite - Three Monkeys' Cookies'n'Cream cake
Specially booked by Rui + Charlene + Benson

Mummy's Brunetti's fruit tart didn't even cost THIS much and it was heavenly good!

We proceeded to dinner at a nearby (not so near) restaurant in Sunnybank Hills, my treat!
Birthdays are meant to be spent with loved ones. I haven't celebrated mine with mummy for more than 7 years, so this year was memorable because she was here with me. I miss daddy a lot, wished he was here too, but life goes on. Love everything that Rui and mummy did.
Chuang's coming to Brisbane in exactly one week's time!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!
