Christmas Exchange I - MMS

JS and I are heading JB tomorrow to do our hair... another short retreat! :O
Awesome is December.

We did our bulk Christmas shopping today for the exchange parties.

Look at that cutie peeking out of bag!

Picked number and did our draws in Watami where we had dinner.
Surprisingly, the outlet at Raffles City takes reservations, yippie!

Mel the 'gambler'!

With my girls and the boys :)

The man who dotes on me the most (besides Daddy)!

We had the usual set for 2 and topped up another 2 mains and sides.

Yummy Kimchi Nabe.

Mel's Ramen looks good too!

At one point in time, there was so much food on the table that everyone stood up and arranged/cooked whatever is on stoves.

More food pictures!

Unfortunately, I didn't like the service nor the food at Raffles City,
thought Ion's branch still kept its better standard :)

Did our actual exchange and gift unwrapping in Coffee Club.

I took home a coke-can thumbdrive that I badly needed, because I kinda lost all the 4 thumbdrives I had at home. Pathetic!

JS unwrapped his electronic gift,
Mel had an adorable coin savings bank (and another gift).
Don't ask me where I got it as we were not supposed to name that out.
Most creative gift goes to Markus!
He wins a big, fat kiss from Mon, LOL.

&& sharing my current favorite tote,
_MG_7613
With really pretty leopard prints from ClubBag, this design stole my heart :)
Its textured faux leather, and it has beige suede interior which felt nice to touch.
Handles are sturdy and all the sewings are well done.

Its base is black so I hardly have problems with placing my bag anywhere!

Comes with a detachable pouch which you can store anything you want :)
I use it to store my electronics - ie. DSLR / Instax.

and here's a sneak peak in what's in my bag :)
_MG_7623
Fits a magazine and more.
Great for shopaholics 'cos you can throw in bags of shopping if you want -
or for school if you're schooling! :)

It's on Backorder status now 'cos its sold out during the launch,
get an estimated date of arrival from ClubBag if you wish :)

Lastly, I'll add in a scarf video :)

Too much repetitive words like "loop", "tidy it up abit" and all, but it's taken at one cut 'cos I was in a hurry!
Will consider voiceovers next time. Can't wait to do a "what's in my bag/cosmetic pouch" etc.

Till the next!
