Splendid Christmas 2009

My 2009 Christmas Gifts =D
24th December 2009

Spent this Christmas Eve with my beloved besties, Clar, Ming Yun, Yi Siang and Ying Yan, and my beloved Ben. We had steamboat at MY's house. Spent around 40bucks for the food. Each person under $7. Thought the food weren't enough but it over killed. Lots of leftovers. But I finished all my mushrooms. =D We bought like 4 packets, so it's like 1kg of mushrooms. I didn't eat so much mushrooms before but it was really delicious, and I couldn't stop eating until I finish them all. Haha! =D
I didn't talk much that night cos was feeling quite tired after work. Listened to the girls talk most of the time. At about 9pm ba, we exchanged our gifts. I got no. 1, it was MY's gift, a frog design tissue box cover. (Hmm, I wonder why I always got frog, last time YY's christmas gift to me was a frog design container too. Haha! =D) Just nice, I always wanted a tissue box cover, but always felt that it was too ex.

After the gift exchange, everybody was full, except me. Haha! Was still hotplate-ing the mushrooms while the other girls had already moved to the sofa to chit chat. They were discussing who would be the first to married, and was trying to recall who did they thought it would be when we discussed about it in the past. But for sure, it won't be me. But I guess it would be YY, Clar, YS, MY then me. Why? I believe YY, Clar and YS will want to marry around 25-28 years old. YY's and Clar's bf won't mind marrying them early. But Clar won't want to marry until she graduates and find a job preferably. So YY will be first. YS won't be that soon cos she hasn't been too lucky in her love life. Hopefully she will be able to find the right guy. Since this will take time, she will be behind Clar. For MY, she will observe for quite a while before being into a relationship and be really devoted to it. I believe she's a cautious lover. Whereas for me, I believe most knows why. I have a bf who wants to complete his studies, finds a stable job and ensures that he has a steady income to support a family before getting married. So, without any doubts, I'll be the last. =D
Anyway, after YY left to join his bf, Clar, YS, MY and Ben played mahjong until Clar was really tired. Then, we went to watch Avatar. It was quite an interesting show. But not really my type. The affects were good though and some parts were quite exciting. We watched the 1am show. Reached home at around 4am. Really tired. Enjoyed spending the time with the girls.

The long awaited gathering was finally here! I was really looking forward to it cos I spent alot of time planning it and worrying about it. Glad that 17 people turned up with their gifts, except for one fat ass who brought some 2nd hand toy as the gift. Hui Ping was rather unlucky to have picked it. But I forced him to take back his dusty gift and return HP's gift. It was unfair man and really too over. Anyway, before the gathering, Jiemin, Jihui and Hui Yin came over my house to help me prepare some food. And Lionel was really helpful to drive over to transport the food. Thanks man! =D But we have too many people so JM, JH, Ben and I cabbed down while HY and Jon took Lionel's car there. We reached Kia Yong's house quite late, 7plus I guess? I thought the food will be half gone, but they had not touched them at all and were just starting to set up the fire. Thanks for waiting for us! =D Was really happy to see so many people there.
Was really worried that my spaghetti will have lots of left over so I started distributing as soon as I finished unpacking the stuff. Actually, I forced everyone to eat one plate! Haha! =D I wasn't too worried about the sushi cos it would definitely clear. In the end, my spaghetti had a little left while sushi was all gone. As usual, Ben and I became the bbq-ers of the day again.

Satay man! Hehe! =D

The mushrooms are mine!!! =D
Look at how engrossed Ben was. Haha! =DWe were also the food server...

Not forgetting a couple shot <3>

Around 9plus, I went around to collect the gifts and numbered them with Ben. After numbering the gifts, it was time to gather everyone for the gift exchange session. So each of us picked one number.

Sorting out the gifts

Everybody gathering around the gifts

After picking a number, everyone was busy looking out for their gift. Where no.___??? It was really fun and exciting.

Yeah! We got our gifts! =D

Let's unwrap to see what we've gotten! =D

Tool Ann's gift from Chun Siang,
a pink colour non-staple stapler.
It's TA's favourite colour! =D

Jovin received an extremely cute handbag
from Kia Yong. Nice one man! =D

Eugene really misses school, correction
tapes for David! Haha! =D

Kia Yong got the longest gift, it's a long
box of chocolates from Haoguang! =D

I got gift no. 7, which was Hui Yin's gift. It's a red hairy bear, 2 Disney pens and a blindfold. Good good, I can use it when my younger brother use the com till very late with the living room light shining into my room. Ben got Jie Min's chocolate, and he's now addicted to the Dove chocolate. It's really tasty and addictive, I like it too! =D

Hope everyone enjoyed the gift exchange session. It's so interesting to see the expressions on all the faces. Some really happy, some shocked and looked as if he's going to bash that person up, some didn't know how to react. Haha! It's simply so entertaining.
After that, everyone went back to their activities, some card games or makan-ing, while others was so fascinated by Soo Teck's gift. It was a hammock, belongs to Wei Jie now. So they took some photos of some dead bodies lying in it.

Corpse #1: Sergeant Jovin

Corpse #2: Big Boobs David

Corpse #3: Crazy Officer Soo Teck

I believe most noticed that I wasn't really high that night. I was really worn out by the preparation. So didn't really have the energy to go around taking more pictures and initiate group shots. Below's shot was taken cos they were just nice there when I was holding on to the camera. Kind of regret not pushing myself to take more initiatives. Haix.

Happy Girls =D

Not sure when, they started playing truth, dare or double dare. Their double dare was really disgusting and R-rated. Seriously, I wonder how they had the courage to do such actions. Guess they were really drunk already. Some actions caught on camera:

Jie Min cover her eyes upon hearing the
disgusting act the guys were dared to perform

Lionel and Jovin were to rubbed their nipples against each
other. Jihui really had a lot of wild ideas.

Guess what Kia Yong was going to do to Jonathan?

This is the answer.

Only those playing the 'challenging' truth or dare game stayed overnight. Lionel sent HY, Jon, SST, Ben and I home. So nice of Lionel. Thanks lots! =D He likes driving extremely fast. My hair was like damn messy when I got off the car. Yup, forgotten to comment. Lionel's car was actually very quite big and cosy, but one big butt purposely squeezed with 3 of us at the back. Thanks to him, I was merely resting upon the edge of the seat.
Really enjoyed looking at how everyone had fun together. Though the feeling might be different from the past, I was really glad that everyone was mingling with one another. A really big thanks to Kia Yong for opening his house for this gathering and pulling the guys and girls together! =D

Prior to the class gathering, we had a mini catch up session with Maria. She's in Indonesia so couldn't join us for the 26th. We met up on 13th, and had dinner at a Indonesian Restaurant at Jurong Point. Guess it was the first time Jihui ate meat with bone. Haha! =D Maria was pretty worried about her results and was extremely regretful for skipping lectures. Believe she will be attending all lectures when the new semester starts. Most of the girls are in university now, it's really hard to find a convenient time to meet up. And it feels like a decade since I've seen Yanjie. Always can't meet her, so unlucky. It's the second time she missed the class gathering. Haix. Next year, I may be studying too. Then, it'll be really difficult to find a common time. But will definitely keep trying my best to arrange a good meet up time. =D

After food =D

27th December 2009

I received my greatest Christmas surprise. Of cos, it's from my dearest Ben. He prepared a Christmas gift for me while I didn't give him anything. I did give him a earpiece and a shirt, but it's not given as a gift and is definitely not as meaningful as what he had given me.

It looks like a simply box but inside it, it isn't as simple as it looks. It's too sweet and mushy to reveal what's inside, so I shall leave it as a mystery. Ben really knows what I want and he always tries his best to give me what I want. He's always so loving and sincere, just can't stop loving him! <3>
