Although it looks good, but it is challenging when ice formed on the next day. Icy road is slippery and sometime could be dangerous. (imagine you’re skating on ice with sport shoes)



Luckily I got a ice-spiker recently, this helps me to walk comfortably. 



Enjoy your snow then :)

Secret Santa & 2009 Christmas

I have decided to try the following 3 courses meal in the coming Christmas party

garlic mushroom mixed salad + honey salmon (i tried turkey before) + chocolate chip sponge pudding :)

We have a secret Santa in every Christmas party, i.e. gift exchange session based on “word” you picked up. This year I got “FRESH”, any gift idea feel free to tell me..Hmm, I’m thinking fresh salmon fillet (oops, that’s kiding) / chewing gum / shower gel

Last year I got the word “LIGHT”, I bought a wax lantern & scented candle. It was the first time in my life to wrap a present @-@, it looked a bit bulky..



This is an interesting Christmas card I got from one of the colleagues last year. The card featured with Malacca’s red house.  


Well, I got the following gift in the secret Santa session (gift with the word ”triangle”)


The Ferrero chocolate was the present to my supervisor when I went to his open house.

Christmas card from M&S, gave to colleagues last year… Thinking what kind of card to get this year..
