santa's bakery

it all started at 10pm wednesday nite.....
the working table was being set up with wat the elves needed for a nite long of cookie baking

flour, sugar, rolling pins, cookie cutters

slowly thru the nite...
the elves themselves started to smell like walking cookies

the end result at 4am.... the time of the elves

80 COOKIES

starting again the next day at 3 till 9
it was time to start the creative juices and make the butter cookies look pretty

dressed with coloured icing, holiday hundreds and thousands and silver balls... each cookie was then individually packed and wrapped with love and care that ended with the elves having cross-eye after

and now the model elf will show how to treat the cookies

step 1

step 2

bon appetite

madness

i can finally breathe.....

its been crazy since ive been back which is great coz then at least i got over my jetlag immediately

within my first 12 hours back i rushed off to a friend's wedding :) and got to hang out with the girls again!!! yay!
it was a nite of black and silver

that nite ended at 2am with me running on 4 cups of coffee the whole time and head held up with invisible strings

after 3 hours of slp santa sent me my wish for a few hours :)

johan was here on transit for a day!!!!!! weeeeeeee utter craziness brunch at marmalade then shopping then dinner at crystal jade
my crabmeat linguine and shrimp dumplings off my list of cravings
after it was off to the airport and then to dempseys for tea :) that place has changed so much and with so many new places that opened up there its now much more interesting.
wishing i could show u these new places

so that was saturday and sunday
monday i finally got to take a break from all this madness and met up with the girls in the evening for dinner at boon tong kee and then it was off to deserts at desert at 2am holland village....

a shooting star

so many plans have been set
especially one of a day just stuffing my face with great friends all over the tiny island
2 finals down and one more to go thou i dont feel the urgency of it which is bad
this year will end with a good note

time flies so quickly before i knw it this semester is soon to be over and i'll be back soon enuf! but before im going to haf to survive finals.... been procrastinating all day today which is bad coz i haf 2 huge papers on monday :p
