i think its gonna be strange week of the working folks because its a transition from the partying hype and the beginning of a new work year. and we are now right in between that spectrum.

its a sunday afternoon, and i’m here in my room working from home. there are a thousand and one loose ends tie up before the work year begins tomorrow, but i’m not whining about it because i’ve got a good dose of rest, feasting, merry making and fabulous quality time with the geek.

and there is still that new year’s eve dinner to look forward to.

so bring it on!

noelle isn’t always cooperative when posing for photos. today in particular, she was restless and mucked around.

the olive branch was offered to me in a reconciliary manner by the fear factor of my life concerning the love of my life.

i’ve always doubted if a day like this would ever come to pass.

if not for a solemnisation party at Klee yesterday, we would have – family in tow – barged into the funky town of wessex square village which would have otherwise been not a family friendly place.

Klee is a quaint and cozy place for a drink, dinner can be had at the other colonial buildings nearby. i had a drink, it was a m.a.t.e.r.i.t.i.n.i mocktail – a harmless concoction of juices.

because it was a private function we attended, we could defy all bar etiquette and plomp baby bottoms on the bar counter and let the kids run amock.

we didn’t stay long. we moved on to our the family’s christmas event of the year at PS Cafe at Dempsey. the christmas feel of the place was cranked up and the food was better than i expected, and the cakes were humongous! i think its worth checking out again for dinner.
