Lesson on Can Opening
- One of the many hilarious moments...and a very stone-age way of doing things as well :S

Super 'cacat' (mutated) looking man...

The key opened my can of luncheon meat perfectly!!!

Tadaaa!! (just roll the little bit of tin around the 'key' as you wind it) Awesome invention?? -made in China! *lol*

Best Tong Sui
- This is yet another highlight. You'll never or maybe rarely get to find such a large variety of tong sui in town! Tong Sui in Section 17 rules!!!

There are around 17 types of tong sui that night!! SEVENTEEN!! There are a variety of tong sui with fruits too...like apple, papaya, & lemon - just to name a few!

I guess that sums up the year 2008. Indeed there are so much that took place, that I have not blogged about as well. The year has been SO busy & it was also filled with many goodies :) (of course there are not so nice stuff that took place, but the good ones covered it all).

Anne & I look forward to the new year :) We hope that we'll be able to bring more goodies to our dear readers as we journey through the new year ahead of us!

To all our faithful readers,

Happy New Year & have a greater year 2009!!

- Ruth & Anne
