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..

Trip to Bath & Stonehenge

Joined Exeter Uni. international society for a day trip to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Visited the following places:

 

1) revisit Stonehenge, the great, unique and ancient stone circles that evolved between 3000 BC and 1600 BC and is aligned with the rising and setti...ng of the sun at the solstices, but its exact purpose remains a mystery. Many myths about the significance of Stonehenge, it may have been an astronomical observatory or used for sacred rituals.

2) City of Bath (source: www.bath.co.uk): recognised as world heritage site due to its Roman remains, 18th century archictecture+town planning and social setting. Also the only city in Britain with natural hot spring, but didn't go in due to long queue and expensive entrance fee. Visited the Royal Crescent, the Circus, the Abbey, & Pulteney Bridge.
