Spent the whole of yesterday baking........ this year, Darling and myself will be doing Christmas cookies as presents........ sighz... the last time I did this was 6 years ago.... haha... when we were still getting to know each other....... I still remember how my first real gift to him, not a Christmas gift was 2 boxes of cookies......

Sigh.... memories.... =)

Just realised how "weak" I've become as a result of the whole pregnancy thing.....my total baking time was about 4 hours yesterday..... with a rest of an hour in between whilst the dough rested...yet, nearing the end, I felt like crap and wanted everything to be over as quickly as possible........ sheesh..... and I've yet to do the icing on the cookies! Will be doing them tomorrow, and I just hope that I'll survive it...... =)

Went out for dinner with Darling yesterday...... sighz.... he's down with many many dilemmas, be it work or studies....and well, I guess we both needed to take some time out from everything and just chill out alone, spend some time with each other. Usually each day of our lives is filled with so many committments that it gets a little insane and hectic......coz whilst we aren't party animals or outgoing creatures, we do savour time alone as a couple.....whether it's at home, or just time walking around aimlessly in a mall...... so well, yesterday was a day to chill for us...... we ended up catching Twilight with Angela after dinner and all...... To say the truth, I had no idea about the show before this. I mean, I've heard all the little ones talking about the books and all, but I never really paid attention. Darling kept telling me that the movie is really hyped up.... plus the reviews were not bad, so I thought Why not?

Anywayz, the movie is not bad..... quite interesting, in fact....love the scenic views of everything too.... but I guess that there really is too much hype around the movie. I firmly believe in the saying of not expecting anything so that you won't be disappointed. Due to the hype, I believe many would go expecting lots of stuff..... and well, that would end up really disappointing you. Especially avid fans of the series...... I think that if you're gonna watch it, you have to watch it as a movie....comparing it to the book will only make the movie seem really really bad. It's always the case. After all, the movie is meant to cater to the general public...and already the show is 2.5 hours long...... I believe that if they were to go into detail for every part, the movie would be endless! Many parts were either too short for comfort, or too draggy.....so....it's not bad, but not fantastic, I'd say......

Hmmm.... Christmas is barely 7 days away! i'm still fretting about certain gifts for Christmas.... as of now, we've only really settled a few.....sighz....and it's not like we have lots and lots of time..... thank God I settled Darling's one by buying him his shoes... hehe...now he's left to fret not only about my christmas gift, but also my anniversary gift!

It's only 4 days to our first wedding anniversary..... It's really insane how time flies......can't wait to celebrate it coz we'll be going back to Gunther's for lunch! haha.... If you didn't already know, I used to work with the chef in Les Amis...and he left to open his own restaurant somewhere last year or so........ his food is still wonderful........ we went there in May, and because he still remembers me, he prepared a menu for the both of us...... so I made another reservation this time, and he offered not only to prepare something special, but also a complimentary cake to commemorate our day! So absolutely sweet of him.... =D

Many many things to be done and sorted through....... I think this time of the year is the busiest for everyone...what with all the celebrations and stuff.... doesn't help that it also marks the beginning of a new year........ still many discussions to be done for Legion, coz we haven't had our own evaluation yet!

In the midst of all the frenzy...... I think it's super important that we remember why we are celebrating Christmas in the first place............what's our gift to Jesus this Christmas???
