MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS 2010 !!!!!!

We had a very nice Christmas eve. with parents and sister.

Hubby, I and parents went to see a Chinese art performance by the company "Shen Yun" early in the afternoon. It was great. The performance was well-prepared and nicely decorative. The dancers were good and well-dressed. And the atmosphere was relaxed. All of us enjoyed the show and spent quite a bit of time discussing about it afterward. It is unfortunately that my sister did not go with us. I guess I should have bought a ticket for my sister anyway, then she would have no choice but to go.

We then headed to T&T Market to buy some food for dinner. We didn't want parents to wait a long time for dinner, so we decided to have Northern style spring rolls (everyone has to wrap the rolls themselves). Although it took an hour to prepare everything, Parents ate a lot; they must have enjoyed the food!

After the dinner, we spent a few hours to sing Karaoke with Parents. We had a very HAPPY time together (talking, singing and laughing).

After we drove parents home, we waited until Chirstmas Eve (11:55PM) to open the gifts.

P.S: How is my Christmas tree??? I am a picky person, that's why it took me 3-5 days to finish decorating the tree. I only used 2 colors: RED and SILVER. I've got compliments about this tree from parents-in-law. Hehehehehehe..............;)

Sister turns 19_ December 22,2010

Happy birthday to my little sister. Poor her, she has just turned 19 today, while most of her friends are ALREADY 19 years old because she was born at the end of the year.

We had a birthday dinner at home, as both me and hubby have to go to work early tomorrow. And luckily, my sister wouldn't mind at all, good sister !!!
We have home made Triple A (AAA) Canadian steak with sour-dipping salad and stir-fry Bella mushroom. After that, we still celebrate her birthday in traditional way which is with birthday cake and birthday gift.

Wish her all the best and a full year filled with happiness !!!

03.12.2010: RIM's Christmas Party: Great and fun !!!!!!

Like the previous parties in two years ago, Hubby's workplace RIM (Research In Motion) hold a Christmas party at Westin hotel. I was so excited to join in from the beginning of the year (I meant that the party was in the end of the year December but I was expecting in January).

And my expectation was paid off. This party was much much better than the one which was in 2 years ago.

Although the dinner started with a great appetizer: Corn soup, the salad and the main course weren't good. Finally, we still had a good dessert "Cheese cake". The dessert was decorated very nicely. I and Mrs. Tee (Hubby's boss) were satisfied with the taste also.

But Mr. Steve (hubby's co-worker) didn't like the cheese cake at all, that's why he left the cake like this:

During the party, RIM also gave away many prizes based on the ticket number which was placed underneath the plate of each guest. Because the table behind our table was empty, we took all the tickets of that table. But it is said that when we wanted more, we only got few. That's why our table only won ONE prize which was the backpack including some cutlery for the pinic. I told Hubby to put the backpack in the basement until next summer when we might go camping or swimming on the beach.

This year, we all enjoyed the party a lot. After dinner, we all stayed for dancing no matter what kind of music were playing. On the dance floor, we took few pictures of some guys who were performing a "super crazy but super funny" dance styles. And there was a guy who spent time to make a fake BlackBerry carton box to put over his body in this special party.

And latestly, on hubby's behalf, I'd like to introduce some of hubby co-workers together with their partners
