It's over....

X'mas is over....So quick! It came and it went by so quickly....It has been all about partying, cooking, eating, exchanging pressies, opening pressies, playing Wii at friends' place and post Xmas shopping....I woke up this morning realising it is back to work tomorrow! Boohooo......No fret, only 2.5 days of work, we will have another long weekend with the New Year public holiday...

Now, some of the pressies we received...

Our first Xmas tree, all the way from Singapore, from our dear friends - the Wans


Various gifts

Some of the things I cooked during this festive season...


Roast beef with roast vege


Ramekins of seafood mornay topped with pastry..Yum!


Baked Egg Custard...so creamy, rich & yum!

It has certainly been a very fruitful first Xmas in Oz land...Hubby & I thank God for our family & friends and ultimately our Father in Heaven who has sent His beloved son Jesus from Heaven, so that we may have life. We are also reminded, in the midst of buying gifts, receiving gifts, shopping at the post Xmas sales, that "a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions" Luke 12:14.

Hi Miin, Yes, we managed to get a good pic of the tree, with all the lights off. It's not easy to capture the beauty of it! When we have an opportunity to spend Xmas with the Wans, you will see the true beauty of it.
