Christmas 2009!
The happy diners, minus Mashimaro who was the photographer!Anyway, the reason why it a 'boomz' steamboat was because, halfway throughout dinner at 11 plus, Cindy's steamboat literally exploded right in front of us!
There was a blue spark, a loud boom, and the whole house went pitch black. Anyway, we were more or less done with our dinner by then!
Wii is really addictive and seems like a really good choice for group activity!
My Secret Santa was Elaine, and I got a pretty Jill Stuart lip gloss from her. Got a Parker pen and Adidas water bottle for Mark, hope both will come in handy!
It was endless rounds of mahjong for the girls after that whereas the guys were busy playing Wii. Mahjong-ed till 6am the next morning, and I concuss immediately as soon as I hit the bed!
Did another gift exchange as well, but this was more unique cause it was a $10 ridiculous gift exchange! Meaning you had to buy $10 worth of ridiculous gifts - gifts that you typically won't give someone, but the gifts must be practical!
Another rule of the game was that if you feel that you wouldn't like your gift, you can actually swoop your gift during your turn without the other party's consensus provided that you did not open your own gift yet!
Puimun got 2 jumbo roll of Scotts toilet paper which she desperately wanted to change cause it was too bulky for her to bring back to the States! Zhengling to the rescue later!
And here's what our $10 ridiculous gifts are! Layhong bought $10 worth of rice and salt (super practical!), Jian bought 3 bottles of hand soap, Clinton bought 2 jumbo rolls of Scotts toilet paper, Charmayne bought instant noodles (lots of people were fighting for that too!), batteries from Zhengling and Puimun, cup warmer from Eric (he bought the present too early before we imposed the ridiculous gift idea rule!), deodorant from Mashimaro and finally, toothbrush and toothpaste set from meee!
See what I said about Wii? The Raving Rabbids game was quite -_-" for some segments but it was still super addictive!
That was how I spent my Christmas for 2009! Simple but fun! Seriously, the hermit me prefer cozy house parties anytime over clubs and countdown parties with huge crowds!

Time for our gift exchange! Look at all the pretty presents! (:

The must-have group pictures, but missing out Shirly & Ben who were in Japan! *Envy envy*! Hope I can go Japan someday too!

It was endless rounds of mahjong for the girls after that whereas the guys were busy playing Wii. Mahjong-ed till 6am the next morning, and I concuss immediately as soon as I hit the bed!It was really a struggle getting out of bed a few hours later for another Christmas session at Eric's place! We were really late cause we really had trouble waking up!
Did another gift exchange as well, but this was more unique cause it was a $10 ridiculous gift exchange! Meaning you had to buy $10 worth of ridiculous gifts - gifts that you typically won't give someone, but the gifts must be practical! Use mahjong tiles to determine our sequence. Anyway, Photoscape doesn't have a page that distributes 9 pictures evenly, which explains why Zhengling has the biggest shot here! Oops!
Another rule of the game was that if you feel that you wouldn't like your gift, you can actually swoop your gift during your turn without the other party's consensus provided that you did not open your own gift yet!So technically speaking, the no. 9 person was actually the luckiest cause she could change her gift with anybody!

And I went for my first tightening session with Dr Tan on Thursday. Been a month since I put on my braces and thankfully I'm getting more used to it. 3 more sessions to go and I'll be able to remove my braces! Asked Dr Tan if there's any way/possibility that I can remove them earlier, and he looked at me and said "Er, 5 months already very fast you know!"
Haha! Guess I'll just have to be more patient! (:
