Very belated Christmas lunch (then again, Christmas lasts 12 days) with Elaine and Kelly today, Bao only joined us much later, after we were done with lunch. Food was alright only, but I thought the beef bolo melted cheese fries and the seemingly simple chocolate ice cream was somehow, very nice.

salmon with white wine (I couldn't detect the slightest hint of white wine, though)


hungarian beef stew pasta

Oh and I've received a Christmas card in my letter box today. Its v nice of XJ to send me a card by snail mail w/o fail every yr, pple nowadays just make do with e-cards/sms greetings. Somehow, its just so heartwarming, even to the point of touching, esp since we are not exactly tt close, but he still makes the effort! Thanks, XJ! =)

I AM BROKE. SIGH. Pls, pls, I need to curb my spending.
