Remember the xmas gathering that i spoke abt in the last blog entry...the day had arrived and i indeed had a good memorable gathering....here are some of the highlights...
My gd friend, SF came to fetch me and my spouse to the gathering...That day was raining heavily and it was a sudden rain...thus delaying our arrival time at 6.00 pm. Nevertheless, with the gd driving skills and gd road directions sense, we arrived slightly late and still received a warm welcome from all my dear friends...
When our host (J) opened her door, alamak...only 3 of them inside...including me, my spouse, my kid, SF and his spouse, the total no. was 8!!!. Wat a great disappointment as our sec friends went to airport and gave us a plane. Wah lau. But never mind, with a great host and good company, the party still went on. Our xmas mood was not dampened.
We had a good meal, which consisted of sotong balls, black pepper chicken, popiah, sausages, bee hoon and ham. The host cooked bee hoon and the rest was bought off the shelve. I must admit that this meal was a little costly as the cost was initially shared by 12 pple but now, it got to share with 8 of us. Though it was costly, we really enjoyed it as there was great fun and laughter from us as we talked abt old days and school happenings...We oso played Tai Dee and it was indeed a good game. A lot of unwritten rules surfaced and a few arguments here and there but with all 5c, 10c and 20c views, and also from the Internet's expert opinion, the game was a well played.
Next, we ate the log cake, prepared by the host..a brand me and my spouse never eat and heard before: "Awfully chocolate". This shows that how ignorant i am. Ha ha. This cake was also intended for my spouse's birthday which happened to be on this actual day. We sang and took photographs for memories sake. Thanks pals..
Lastly, its the xmas gift exchange show. This year, the organiser (Sh) requested for presents that are above $18 in value...Why $18??? Later it was known that this secondary committee has been in existence for 18 years, since we know each other in Sec 1. Sentimental value right, i agree whole heartedly. Everyone exchanged gifts accordingly to the Organiser (Sh) plan and it went well smoothly. The party ended with everyone going home in a happy mood but for me, i even happier as the group played mj in my house.
Kudos to the host(J), my gd friend(SF), organiser(Sh) and the company of friends (D) on that day. Thanks for the hard work and effort. Maybe can start planning for this year (2008)...hmmm..
