A brand new year with lots of new memories

It’s the start of the new year right after Christmas. A very happy new year to you and I wish this year will be filled with lots of new and happy memories for you no matter which part of the world you are in! I had a blast during the small Christmas gathering at home and the countdown towards the new year is not an exception either. We held a not-so-small family and friends gathering at home. I love holding such parties in the comfort of my own house. It’s much more comfortable and I like how the entire house is filled with noise and laughter.

On a side note, I realised I fulfilled a few of my new year resolutions for 2009. Reading back the post I wrote at the end of 2008, I managed to get at least 50 marks for each of my UOL papers in the 2009 examinations and I got myself a new wallet as well. 2 out of 4 accomplished in the last year! I hope I managed to get those for 2010 done as well.

Presents for myself - Slingbag and wallet

Here’s the delicious looking dinner we had:

Sausages and bacon

A sumptuous dinner

Instant pizza!

Black forest cake

Benjamin is definitely enjoying the food

2009 is coming to an end and it’s been an eventful year for me with a few overseas trips and lots of celebrations; Christmas, birthdays and gatherings.

Dayna wishes everyone a very Happy New Year, may everyday in 2009 be filled with happiness, laughter, fun, love and everything wonderful. :heart: Here’s a summary of our countdown celebration. We had MacDonald breakfast at Jurong Point, followed by the movie Ip Man. The movie was better than what I had expected. The action scenes were good, plot was not too bad, ending was okay. We then went food shopping at NTUC and Sheng Shiong Supermaket for our steam boat. Michelle and I had also gotten a black forest cake from “The Icing Room” at SGD 28. We saw a kid doodling on their custom cake. It’s funny to look at, I wonder how they will feel when eating the cake, laugh or … …?

Our food for steamboat

Steamboat Soup - Are you hungry?

Our cooks of the day - Zi Loong & Te Wei

BBQ-ing

The cake has 21 candles because all of us are turning 21 in year 2009. We thought it would be fun to make wishes and blow out the candles so we did it. I love blowing out candles and making lot of wishes! I hope they come true. :heart:

How did you spend your new year? I watched Taiwan Countdown party too, this year there aren’t many nice singers but their fireworks display was stunning as usual.

March 2008 - Gathering with besties at Central

May 2008 - Graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic

May 2008 - Went on my first holiday (Malaysia) alone with my friends

There aren’t much going on in 2008. I promise it is going to be way longer than this next year. Okay, I’ll be off to my movie, steamboat and a night of manjong, fireworks and sparkles. I bid everyone a farewell in 2008, see you guys in 2009 okay? It’s a brand new year and I’m coming! :heart:

Green tea cake and my new year resolution

Missy baked a cake with mum today. Presenting Green Tea with Cinnamon Cake …

Green tea with cinnamon cake

It was actually quite easy to bake because it’s those premix flour. So we just have to add in the eggs, milk (we used low fat milk), butter, mix it well and bake for 45 minutes. Thereafter, sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon on the top of the cake while it is still hot and then let it cool. This is for the cinnamon and sugar to melt on the cake. It taste pretty good. There isn’t much of a green tea taste though, and I think adding more milk makes the cake softer. It taste better that way. :heart:

On a side note, I was reading a few other online blogs just now and saw many people penning down their new year resolution. I shall write mine today.

Dayna’s New Year Resolution

Study hard (work hard, play hard ) and get at least 50 marks in all my UOL papers
Save more money; less shopping
Learn to spend my time more wisely
Get a new wallet (can this be included in my resolution as well? )

And I shall end this post with a photo of my newly painted nails in Barbie Pink. I got this at The Face Shop yesterday for SGD 2.90. I confess that I do not have good skills in nails painting, the nails on my left hand are always nicer than those on the right because I’m a right hander. :nono:
