These past two weeks have been really great in terms of catching up with my long time girlfriends. Despite our family commitment and work schedule, we somehow managed to slot in a brief period to meet and catch up. Not forgetting to mention, all this is possible thanks to the holiday season where, for some, get to leave work early on the eve of Christmas and New Year, while others get off days due to temporary company shutdown.

So what were on our agenda?

24.12.2009 (Christmas Eve)

The plan was to meet up at Changi Airport T3 for lunch. At Earle Swenson’s to be precise. With the kids! P asked me if I was able to handle all three by myself. I told him I’ll manage somehow. And in fact I did! Of course once I’ve met up with my girlfriends, I’ve had HELP (Thanks a lot, babes, you know who you are!). So as ‘janji melayu’ goes, the meeting time of 1pm somehow became close to 2 in the afternoon, haha! But at least we’re clear off the lunch crowd (at least I thought there would BE a crowd, but then again it’s Christmas eve, so there might not, yes?)

Anyways, when we reached there, we managed to get seated somewhere near the middle near the salad bar. Some of their meals entitle us to free-flow of salads! *yay* So all of us ordered steak! (I think Yati ordered chix, but yeah, majority ordered red meat). We get to talk (erm, not much, to be honest) in the midst of eating and minding the little children. Heh. At the end of it all, after an almost full stomach, we had the yummiest of all desserts. For the life of me I can’t remember what it was called. It sizzled just like the banana crumble ice-cream, but something else.

After lunch we headed right opposite Coffee Bean where there’s this mega-huge Bouncy Castle. But the kids did not play AT the bouncy castle (cos the queue was super long!), but instead right next to it where there’s a mini-playground. We let the kids run free. Too free, in fact! There was a time when some of them ran loose in directions all over! As for Mika, I caught him run off to a nearby elevator! Thankfully he did not follow some stranger INTO the lift, haha! Oh, but he did get lost for a while, and when we searched, we found him already climbing onto the bouncy castle, cutting all queues! That sneaky little boy, he! (Ok, too much exclamation!)

Soon after we all had to part due to individual plans, but we plan to catch up some days later when time permits us again. Without the kids next time round.
