Christmas Eve Dinner

.: December 24, 2012 :.

I love this night, we had a Christmas Eve dinner together at home. The food was superb. Minestrone soup - perfect for a cold night, roast chicken, bread, beef bourguignon - haha this one looked like rendang with a little bit of red wine flavor.

 

~ Our chef ~

 

"The beef bourguignon should have more juice in it, it was too long in the oven", my brother said. Well, didn't matter, it was super delish, full of flavor. Love it to the max. But we joked how much it looked like rendang haha

 

~ And this one is my ultimate favorite. Minestrone soup ~

 

I remember we always hung wreath that my mom made, right from the first Christmas that I remembered as a kid. And that tradition stopped when we moved to Bali when I was in a junior high school. So it was great that me and hubby bought this Christmas wreath, we'll start the tradition again :D

But it's kinda sad, I wish I could've kept at least one of my mom's Christmas wreaths, they were really well made and most importantly, made with love.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Yo! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2013!

A Supposedly 'Secret Santa'

To celebrate Christmas, in office we're doing the Secret Santa. Well, regardless the naming; Secret Santa, Exchange Presents, whatever, we're supposed to keep it a secret, right?? I mean, what's the point if the whole world knows whom you're buying gift for. The thrill is the secret itself, the surprise. But noo... not here. It's the other way around.

So see, I'd been playing by the rule... you know, to keep it in the dark untill few days ago one of my colleagues asked me bluntly what was written on that little piece of paper that I drawed out and today, again, one of my team mates asked me the exact same question!! Sheesh~ Now it's not interesting anymore... oh well

Christmas with Love 2008

Hm I know I should've posted this sooner, and now the moment's really gone but nevertheless, not enough reason for me not to force my eyes open to write something 'bout it here at... gee 4:46 am... gotta hurry...

So a week ago, December 13, 2008 we went to a Christmas party held by KMKI Jpn (Indonesian Christian Community in Japan), somewhere near Meguro. It was pretty huge, with Indonesian Ambassador to Japan being there and opened the event. But um, without any slight intention to show less respect to Mr. Ambassador, I must say I came solely to see the guest star of the night, Rio Febrian *sigh... what a voice he has *. That and of course to celebrate Christmas itself with all my dear friends

Totally enjoyed the night, oh who didn't?? we all got to see rio febrian sing 4 songs *four wasn't it? uh pardon the memory, I'm getting old* one of them is actually my second most favorite Christmas song, The First Noel. Number one is not yet to be dethroned, Mary's Boy Child hehe Anyway, since my departure to Hong Kong is not until 25 Dec, it is only true if I say Christmas with Love 2008 is still the highlight of this month so far.

But too bad, we went home empty handed. Ohhh I wish I won the door prize, round trip ticket to Bali + 4 days accommodations...
