Christmas 2017 – hooray!

Tuesday, December 26th, 2017

Christmas at our place is usually a pretty low-key event, with simple meals, small gatherings, and only a few gifts exchanged. I also like to make calendars from photos of the year-past, as well as an annual album of real prints of the “greatest hits” pics of the year gone by – for the record, of course.

This year is even more low-key, as my parents aren’t visiting, and we also did most of our partying the week previous on our amazing Taiwan trip. However, there were presents. I got these two gorgeous Twin Peaks books (The Secret History of Twin Peaks, and The Final Dossier).

Zen got two models, both of them during our Taiwan trip…

…and Naoko & Zen both got Fit Bits! Naoko’s is the Blaze (watch-shaped) on the left, with the purple strap, and Zen’s is the conventional band-like Fit Bit on the right.

We had yummy roast chicken and beer for dinner Christmas Eve.

Christmas 2017 Naoko Zen

On Christmas Day, Zen had to work. Naoko & I decided to check out the new Pure Fitness gym at Ngee Ann City. It’s pretty cool, and this is the view from the west side…

Naoko’s trying out the mobility clubs, I forgot what they’re called.

After the workout we went for yummy soba ramen, this shop even has a Michelin star! The soup is very rich, and flavoured with truffle, which isn’t really to my taste, but it’s still pretty good!

To top it all off, we had some Baumkuchen as our “Christmas cake” with Zen when he came home from work. Hooray!
