A Pre-X'mas Gift Exchange

As my friend, Vicky would be joining her hubby this weekend, we have to arrange yesterday for our X'mas meetup + gift exchange.

Vicky has earlier suggested buying food over to my place as Renee's been inviting her over to play with her but I know her, she's the 'dine-out' kinda person, lol. On the other hand, I was feeling tired and lazy to go downtown, plus hubby wasn't very keen in staying home to look after Renee, I was even more reluctant. In any case, I asked hubby to come back early and shift the car seat over and I took Renee downtown.

It was however good that I've brought Renee out 'cos not long after we've reached Orchard road(wah, jam packed the carpark and I was early, before 5pm!), hubby text to inform me that his client has just arrived and that he'd be having dinner with him...

Before we went out, Renee asked to put on mascara which of cos, wasn NOT allowed, but however, I did allow a little curling of her eyelashes and she was elated, hahaha, jialat man...

We walked from Paragon, to C.K. Tangs, to Ion, then Wisma Atria, Takashimaya before heading back. It was already 9pm when we left the place and Renee has enjoyed herself with the company of my friend and trying new flavours of pop-corn and ice-cream, hahaha.

To try out the new coffee machine Vicky's got, we proceeded back to Vicky's place(where renee chatted with Vic's mom whilst I go check the machine out, :D) for coffee and it was really good, and what makes it better was its low maintenance cleaning process! Ooh, one could have a nice cup of 'starbucks/coffee bean' coffee at only a fraction of the price and at the comfort of home, why not..., but, not now for us, :D.

Isn't it lovely? It's not very expensive yet it's compact and easy to maintain, very tempting(the mug like thing on the side is the milk frother)

my gift to vic(Renee insisted on putting the snowflake on top, lolz)

Fretting that she hasn't got any gift for aunty vicky, I told her that she could make her one of the snow-globe which she's made for her uncles last year

Hers to us, which are sitting under our tree :)
