Daddy Homecoming and Christmas Gatherings

In exactly 7 days, Adrian will be reaching Singapore around 7 am. He is really looking forward to this homecoming and we are also looking forward to welcome him back to Home Sweet Home.

His email said it all “My love, I can smell stronger and stronger the coffee you brew as the days pass. The Bar Chor Mee smell is also getting stronger.”

I am really glad that we had made it through this very trying period as a family. Adrian has gained a lot from this trip and we had also grown stronger on home ground. The children have given me their best performance during daddy’s absence and I am very thankful for each and every day.

We will be starting a New Chapter very soon in 2009 and I hope that this experienced that we had gone through will give us strength to walk the longer road ahead.

This is the Christmas week and as usual, it's time to be Merry and Feasting. I am going to enjoy delicious home cooked meal for the next few days and I am really looking forward.

Feast 1: Christmas Eve Brunch

My ex-colleagues are organizing a brunch in the office from 11 am to 12.30pm. They had kindly extended the invitation to me. It is a potluck session and I am preparing 2 dishes – Roast chicken thighs and Swiss Rosti. Hope the food will turn out fine, keeping my fingers crossed.

Feast 2: Christmas Eve Dinner

Our usual Christmas Eve dinner is at my parents place. My dad is a Western food specialist and I always love his home cooked western food. He is also very good in roasting. If Adrian is in town, we will sure have roast leg of lamb.

Since he will be back only next Tuesday, I took the opportunity to buy Ribeye steak from Mmmm store for our main course. Looking forward to a nice home roast ribeye steak with other yummy dishes.

Feast 3 : Christmas Day Dinner

My 2nd BIL/SIL will be preparing some very special dishes for dinner. My SIL will also be baking a log cake!!! Some of the relatives will be joining us for the dinner. The children will be enjoying my BIL's Christmas tree. This is the 1st Christmas tree that Anthea and Anders will be seeing in the families..hee. Of course, they also look forward to the Christmas presents from their uncles/aunties.

圣诞快乐 !!
