2006 was in Beijing. 2007 was in Athens. And now 2008 was in San Francisco!
A special thanks to the wonderful colleagues who arranged a Christmas eve party in San Francisco. Instead of having a traditional Christmas meal like ham and turkey, we ordered Chinese takeouts :)
The roasted ducks, chicken, pork and stir-fried veggies!!! It almost felt like a Chinese New Year Celebration.
Moi was so tired and didn't stayed around for the Christmas countdown. Was back to my room and sleeping in Lalaland by 11pm
Outside in the streets on Christmas day. It looks sunny but it's darn cold.
It's not fun to spend Christmas Day in SF! :(
All the shops were closed!! Even big departmental stores like Macy's were closed!!!
ARGHHHHHH!!! No shopping for moi... i mean i can understand. People don't wanna work on Christmas Day. It's a day to spend with your loved ones, your family. But the shopaholic in moi just go "Noooooo....i wanna go into A&F, American Eagle, Hollister, Old Navy!!!!"
The worse part was: Moi is leaving SF in the morning of Boxing day and that's when SF will have it's BIGGEST GIGANTIC AND MASSIVE YEAR END SALE!!!!!
ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Just kill me!!!!!
At least the SF trams is still operating. Tons of people queuing to go Fisherman Wharf perhaps
Interesting sight outside of my window. Yesh. It's a crane
See what's on the crane?
Yupz! A Christmas tree!!! isn't that adorable? Come nightfall, the lights comes on and it turn into a blinking Christmas tree. (which was how i noticed it in the first place)
Christmas in Seoul was just as interesting. Took a picture with the huge Christmas tree down at the hotel lobby. Moi remembered taking a picture at the exact spot a few years ago.. Hmmm probably in year 2005.
When i say it's a huge Christmas tree. I mean HUGE!! All the way to the ceiling
Santa Claus on display
Had my favourite Korean Bibimbap.
Wikipedia says Bibimbap is served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with namul (sautéed and seasoned vegetables) and gochujang ( chili pepper paste). A raw or fried egg and sliced meat (usually beef) are common additions. The ingredients are stirred together thoroughly just before eating. It can be served either cold or hot.
Mine is all veggies and comes with a fried egg on top!!
After adding the chili pepper sauce and all stirred up. The trick to eating Bibimbap is to add tons and tons of chili pepper sauce!!! and stirring it occasionally. Else you'll ended up with burnt rice at the bottom of the hot clay bowl
The Korean side dishes!! Ohh, how i loved them!!!! Sometimes, i wanna tell them to just give moi a bowl of steaming rice and just the side dishes. No main.
After lunch, we had a nice surprise when it started to snow slightly outside.
Can't really tell from the pictures
My colleagues taking a picture of snow flakes on my hair. Heehee
