Merry Christmas everyone!! Though my excitement of Christmas started waning after the stroke of midnight, it has been a rather chill Christmas for me this year. My family aren't really into the festivity of any holiday. Be it Christmas or New Years or Chinese New Year (or Lunar New Year), we just treat it like a day to rest, that's all. No setting up Christmas trees– though we used to do that when my brother and I were younger– or having Christmas dinners or hanging the wreathe outside the door– nothing. We're not a family of Grinches, it all boils down to laziness. Haha!
My Christmas morning started pretty uneventful– I just spent my time reading on the couch before going on tumblr and started scrolling. To take a break from scrolling tumblr (it's deep as the Pacific Ocean, I swear), I watched The Great British Bake Off before my parents dragged me out of the house for lunch.
So we (or my parents) decided to go to the new Bedok Mall because they want to see what the mall has. I was rather reluctant because I googled the place and saw what they have and I wasn't impressed by what they have. Nevertheless, we went there and after walking two rounds of the mall, we finally decided to eat at Tim Ho Wan– it's a dim sum restaurant.
We ordered Har Kao (prawn dumplings), Siew Mai (pork dumplings with prawn), Chee Chong Fun with shrimp (vermicelli rolls with shrimp inside), Crispy Bun with BBQ pork, Fried Carrot Cake and Congee with lean pork, century egg and salted egg (my parents, not me). It's delicious– I would not delve into details because I suck at describing food but the food there is good.
After walking around the mall for a while, we left and headed home where I continued watching TGBBO and continue scrolling tumblr (obviously). This pretty sums up Christmas. Not really festive but I'm fine with it though I prefer it to be a little more? Oh well.
-Gloria
