Calories Overloaded December

I have this love-hate relationship with December. I lurve December cause this is the only month where I have valid reasons to indulge in good food irresponsibly, but after each calorie-packed meal I am often so guilt-ridden that I vowed to go on a diet the very next day. So that is what ‘December’ means to me.

This year is definitely no-exception for me; in fact, this year’s munching schedule is more action-packed and calorie-packed than any other years!! Cannot imagine me scoffing food voraciously!

Started off as early as 8th December!

8-Dec – Gigi’s (maid) birthday
Started off with something ‘light’, fish n chips @ Swensen, of course not leaving the restaurant without ordering their specialty ice-creams!

13-Dec – My own version of “Thanksgiving Day” for my parents
Took half day leave from work to thank my parents for taking care of Ziv while both Kevin and myself are working. Yes, they nagged relentlessly, they annoyed us, still, they are always there to help me when I needed them. So to show my appreciation, I decided give my parents and Kevin a treat at Equinox Swisshotel The Stamford. Needless to say, this meal will burn a big hole in my pocket even though I am armed with Raffles Feed card. Apparently, the reservation waitress told me the card was not ‘very useful’ during this festive season. Damn. But its ok, nothing beats enjoying a wonderful meal with a good view and company (I hope). Think free flow foie gras…

19-Dec – Office lunch for Xmas and National Treasure II Movie Premier
Eat eat eat!! Another office gathering after the mini team building, this time, bolder and better. As of now, we have short listed a few dinning location, Sanobar, The Legends at Fort Canning and Hotel Intercon. Irregardless of location, I believe this lunch gathering will definitely make me feel that xmas is really coming.

21-Dec – Took leave
What happened when I take leave? Eat of course. To sort of celebrate Ziv’s 5 mth (although was on the 19th). Perhaps Sun with Moon with the little chap and his father will be good.

23-Dec – Party @ my abode
A gathering among my poly friends and their partners. This year we opt for catering rather than potluck, cause from experience, some people came empty handed, while some other people game with a container (shipping container I mean) of food. So to be fair to all and save the hassle, we shall have a caterer to solve the problem. At the same time we will have gift exchange :), my favourite moment of the party.

24-Dec – Xmas eve party and midnight mass followed by overnight mahjong
Party again, some home-cooked meal by MJ kakis, I suspect it should be spaghetti again. *roll eyes* What is a night of celebration when we have no mahjong?! After confessing at the midnight mass at St Anne’s, we will spend the rest of the night gambling. “PONG!!”

25-Dec – Christmas Dinner with In-Law
Can I say, ‘stop eating’? BURRPP, feel so overfeed typing the schedule, makes me think that I lead a glutton’s life. In-law has reserved three tables are Jade Room to treat about 30 relatives and friends for a sumptuous dinner.

28-Dec – BBQ @ Tua Pao’s house
Samuel aka Tua Pao, FBI (Fatty Brunei Intelligence), Ah Pui has reserved a BBQ pit at his abode. This is the 2nd BBQ of the year. Can’t remember when was the last one, I only remember I was so full that I wanted to vomit and I was still pregnant, going to due. This time round, it has more meaning, cause, this is sort of a gathering with Samuel and Hawke and others. Reunion night, I call it.

30-Dec – Not yet plan
Hope to meet up with a couple friend with their precious little one, Jayden. We’ll see.

1-Jan - My Ah Ma's Big Day (Birthday)
How can I not spend time with the sweetest ah ma on earth! Mum planned for a chalet, hopefully we can get one at Sentosa or East Coast. So more BBQ food...

I feel like I can gain at least 10kg with this kind of ‘feeding’ habit. Chiam.

Let’s track, I weigh 41.8kg today. Will I become 51.8kg to welcome the New Year? I don’t waaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So many events, I bet Ziv must be very happy. He can go kai kai almost everyday!!
