Its been a super long day..but filled with fun and enjoyment. Yesterday after work, I got downto baking again. I decided the brownies from the previous day didnt meet my expectations, thus I made another one using another recipe. I was super afraid I would overbake or underbake it, this I watched over it constantly. The results were superb, the kind of brownie I love most. Fudgy, chewy, gooey with a thick and crunchy top. It was delicious, albeit ugly cos I couldnt cut it properly as it was too soft. And I baked my cookies as well and sealed it in small bags to be given out. And I also had to wrap some presents, so by the time I was done, I was super tired..
This morn, work went on as usual until 11am, when the preparation for the party began, though the guests only arrived at around 12. We blew balloons that had funny shape, and some people's imagination started running wild..hmm.. Then we had to go downstairs to bring up the catered food, and arrange it on the tables. There was quite a spread of food. Curry, baguette, springroll, otah, satay, Chen Fu Ji Fried rice, chicken wings, and of course turkey and roast beef. The brownies that I contributed was there as well, and was gone by the end of the party. I took out the marbled cheesecake last of all, and everybody raved about it, commenting that it was the best cheesecake they had ever tasted and that I should set my own bakery..hahah..my head swelled a few notches after that...hahah.. I was sooo happy that it turned out well, despite it being my 2nd attempt
The party was pretty fun and we went around taking pictures, which I would post later on. Then we had the gift exchange which was only for the staff. Everyone gathered around a table which had the presents on it and we were supposed to pick out a number. As I was the youngest, I got to go first..and I got a super kinky present from Sang Chin..hahh..which I didnt really expect of him. It was put in a tissue paper box, then stuffed with newspaper, and wrapped in a few layers of plastic bag. So much anticipation. Everybody held their breadth as I drew it out, and lo and behold, it was a red g-string..and not only that, it had 2 bells attached to it. Everybody was quite tickled by it, and my boss had quite a few things to share about ermm wearing it and turning men on...muahaha..guess everyone is pretty open minded around here, and he warned me against wearing it in the office..hahah..for obvious reasons. I got a really adorable lil doggy from Izzy which we had admired together during our lunch break shopping trip, and a lovely necklace.
By the time the party ended, it was around 3 plus, and Wilson offered to drive me and Izzy to Orchard. It was very nice of him as that area is jammed, and we were stuck there for pretty long. Actually I only went orchard to go to the lib..hahah..I wanted to get some presents, but changed my mind after seeing the long queues..I rushed home, bathed, and went out again, with Steph and his friends to catch The Chronicles of Narnia, which is a really awesome movie. After that was dinner at Zion Riverside Foodcentre which is actually my first time there despite it being practically just at my doorstep, and had a yummy fried hokkien mee.
Feeling super tired now, its been a long week..looking forward to christmas, which would be filled with activities... I doubt I would be blogging for the next 2 nights, so here is wishing everybody a blessed and joyful Christmas.
