What Did You Do On Christmas Eve?

Merry Christmas!
Here's a hilarious Hokkien ecard from the Singapore Youth For Christ website to brighten your day. (click the words in yellow to view)

What activities did you indulge in this Christmas Eve?
The average Singaporean would have been engaged in one of the following:

  1. Head to church (although pre-Christmas services vary from church to church)
  2. Watch a movie (probably Narnia)
  3. Go out for dinner
  4. Hang out at East Coast / Marina / Esplanade / Singapore River / other water bodies
  5. Clubbing at Dbl O / Thumper's / MOS / Zouk / DXO / other clubs
  6. Pubbing at Harry's / Brewerkz / Molly Malone's / The Wine Place / anywhere with alcohol
  7. Consume coffee / ice-cream / prata / other post-dinner treats
  8. Wander around Orchard Road, occasionally whipping out the camera to capture the picturesque lightings along the stretch.
  9. Hibernate at home to avoid the crowd. Order pizza / Mac's / other fast-food takeaways.
  10. Rent a chalet and organize a BBQ.

I'm guilty of (2), (3) & (7) :

  • The initial plan was (9). A last-minute decision at 5.30pm meant we got dressed in a jiffy.
  • Had a 7-course set dinner for two that consisted of sharks' fin, abalone with vegetables (abalone always tastes like week-old rubber to me), prawn & bacon rolls, steamed fish, "san bei" chicken (whatever that means), fried rice & almond jelly with longan.
  • Watched Narnia. (Discovery: Bookings made with a HSBC credit card via the GV website knocks $1 off per ticket)
  • Drove to Dbl O, Mdm Wong's, MOS (the snaking queue was sheer madness) & Boat Quay. Gave up the quest for alcohol & settled for Mochavilla at TCC at 1am.

What about you? What did you do on Christmas Eve?
