Christmas update

This is my second year spending Christmas in the UK. Of course during Christmas I'll feel extra sensitive, and miss the church celebration in Canaan, miss spending time with my church friends and family, but it's not all that bad, since I've a bunch of friends here and we celebrate Christmas together.

We (a total of 19 people) organized a party on Christmas day, dressed up for the party and did lots of cam-whoring before the party begin.

Felicia, Chloe, Jeannie, Sarah and Me

We had lots of food that day (pot luck style).....haha.......so much that there were leftovers.

This is the before and after picture :)
We did manage to finish the most of it......

Other than food, we played games too... the Monalisa game.....we even created new moves of our own, mimicking our one and only Cathy aka Abunene.Like in all games, the loser is given a punishment. Here,for one of the rounds, Lai Yee had to drink a mouth-full of champagne as a form of punishment. Some may think this is mild form of punishment....well, it is actually.....we didn't want to sent anyone to bed at the early stage of the party :)

And we had gift exchange this year too.......but secret Santa style......the giver knows who he/she is buying for, but not the recipient. My secret Santa was Martin, he gave me 2 recipe books...... smart guy....bought it so that I'll cook for them, but I really appreciate it... 2 fully colored big cook books, currently sitting majestically on my book selves, maybe I'll whip up 1 or 2 recipes when I have some free time to spare.

Finally, this is our group photo ala Hello Kitty style

We had lots of crazy fun that night.... and disband at 2am in the morning.....yawn.....need to get some rest cuz' we're going Boxing day shopping the next day....hahaha....

So, this is my Christmas update.
It's too late to wish everyone Merry Christmas already....
So, wish you guys have a Blessed New Year ahead (^^)
