Grad Trip (Under Construction) and the festive season

Yayness! We got ourselves a grad trip committee formed. Initially, it was just the 4 of us, Julez, Li Ping, Qihan and myself. We added 2 more friends, Qiu Xin and Gary to form the current group of 6.

Surface work pretty much discussed over coffee at Starbucks amidst all the gossip and latest news being shared in between who's researching on what and responsible for which aspects of the trip prep.

Well well well, doesn't it sound like project meeting? If it does, it sure and must be the most interesting and gratifiable project meeting ever. Project Grad Trip - Getting the A+ for Enjoyment, Adventure, Meeting Budgets, Indulgences, Thrill Factor, Bonding and memories worth remembering for a lifetime!

I didn't include glorious shopping because I'm making an exception this time. Shopping will be the least of my priorities during the grad trip. =)

There're so many stuff I'm looking forward to this coming week!

First, there's my favorite event of the year, Christmas. Family and I went Christmas shopping on Thursday and town was near madness, filled with throngs of Xmas shoppers. Xmas shopping is fun but painful for the account...... Well, the joy in the giving! I bought a bag for my Grandma to bring for her weekly card playing sessions. I think she's gonna love it. She's always eyeing my bags.

I hope I'll get a shoe voucher.

And there's Cafe Del Mar with the girlies! Ellie came back from Perth and I get to see her and hear that infectious laughter finally.

Looking forward to cookout session with the Grad-Trippers (decided to name the group since I have all these different cliques now. Something I love about university life, different groups of friends added to this circle of friendship) to better prep us for cooking our meals during the trip. Eh, I'm bringing one or two of my mum's many cookbooks (even though my mum doesn't know how to cook and our kitchen doesn't have any rice to begin with). Western, Peranakan, Chinese Cuisine, you choose, I guess I can dig out a couple of those cookbooks to bring over. HAHA.

Have a blessed Christmas, y'll! Happy holidays!
