Jan seemed to zoom pass in a flash & before we know it, it's already Feb. Yes, I know I'm still blogging about our Xmas gatherings - super backdated but better late than never :)
As EK & Pris were away on our 1st Xmas gathering @ Prive, we meet again especially for them!
The uni-mate gathering @ Picotin, as suggested by Pris & EK. Bling Bling Xmas was the theme of the night.
Pris donned on her bling-est bracelet, hair clip and earrings ... while EK was so-no-bling.
In fact, none of the guys were game enough to put on something bling, except for Kenneth dear! He gamely put on his bling-est pen on his shirt, though he said he felt so kuku wearing it, lol.
My bling bling dress! Wa ha ha, love it :)
The restaurant was quite crowded and thanks Pris for making advanced reservation.
Glass separating b/w indoor and outdoor.
Old-school chalkboard menu, kinda small though.
Menu, placed on table with the Xmasy red napkin.
Bread basket with assorted bread. Nothing beats the bread basket @ Prive though.
Red vs White - I'm more of a white wine person, what about you?
Our wonderful spread for the Xmas :)
There's always room for dessert as girls have a separate stomach for it. I love how the chocolate oozed out. Poor Kenneth was in the toilet when dessert came and didn't get to eat it as EK finished the last bit.
Aiyah, stupid Khim!
A proper one this time :)
Guys whose waistline have grown a lot since graduation days.
More pictures outside the restaurant. Headed to our after-party

in Khim's room! LOL
Leecher testing out Khim's feather bed.
Yaozu must be thinking that he got conned into coming for the after-party.
Preparing the glasses
Loading it up with red wine
While the girls had the dessert wine, courtesy of EK's private collection, yippee!
But, this wine was super sweet that I had to pour plain water into the wine to lessen the sweetness!
Snacks! Love Meji Almond chocolates, thanks Kenneth for it :)
Kenneth, getting cosy & comfy in Khim's bed.
Then suddenly, out of nowhere, Khim brought out his glass chess set & the guys started playing!
Laying the pieces.....
Even Leecher got involved! haha, didn't know that chess is that interesting :)

Ended the night till late and I fell sick immediately after reaching home. Sick for 1 week, missed all the gatherings planned for that week :( Nevertheless, I reconnected with my bed!
As Sheena was preggie (congrats!) we decided to settle our meal outside instead of popping by HQ's place.
Testing out HQ's newly acquired DSLR! Wa, look at the great difference in pic quality b/w this and the one above taken by dent dent. The downside - the DSLR was so heavy that my arms started to ache after a while, heehee.
Leecher with his strawberry (gay) drink. HQ was teasing Leecher on his gay drink when Kaiwei arrived and ordered the exact same drink, LOL.
The gay brothers
My all-time fave hot tea. Trying to do a DSLR shot where the focus is in the middle and the background is blurry. Looks decent enough ya?
With Leecher :)
Found that Applebee's standard have dropped significantly since our 1st visit. The portions have reduced and steak no longer wow-ed us. Jac & Yanni echoed our sentiments too.
Getting ready for the group pic!
Missing Gav, who's away in LDN! But Jac gamely came to our gathering and surprised us with presents for everyone :)
Thanks Jac and Gavin for the lovely surprise.
