December 2008


Some time back, maybe about ten years ago, we started with this boliao “speculating topic” about who will be the first to get married among this group of buddies. And yesterday 27 December 2008, we got the answer.

Congrats to my dear buddy Shawn: I’m happy for you that you have married a sweet and caring wife.

Millie: Congrats, you have found for yourself a kind and loving husband.

set-to-go

Rise and shine, we were all ready to set off to the bride’s home.

driver-tom

My first time experiencing Tomney’s driving skills.
Hmm… I would say, I’m glad I bought insurance *phew*.

the-little-ones

Aw~ these boys are really sweet!!
Malcolm (L) and Joel (R) are the cute nephews of Millie.

gatecrash

Drinking alcoholic milo and tobasco juice, wearing pampers,
drawing on stomachs, brushing with wasabi, cross-dressing… …
The gatecrash was quite a killer for the groom and “brothers”.

love-finally

It’s worth all the strength and sweat to win the hands of
such a lovely bride.

Had fun taking photos at Hortpark. But it was super HOT!

It was more like a long-time friends gathering.

to snap pictures with each other.

Had a family party on Christmas day, and of course it was all about getting together, enjoying scrumptious food, singing aloud, playing mahjong, and all the great fun!

xmas-gifts

Sweet xmas gift exchanges.

happy-gang

The party ended quite early, but we all had fun!

I never believed in hanging a sock at the side of my bed on xmas eve, hoping that Santa Claus will come by and put a present in it.

Well anyway, I’ve never stayed in a house before, so since Santa don’t have a chimney to climb through, I don’t think he will bother to climb the stairs nor take a lift to my home.

And so I kinda like the idea of gift exchange during xmas, at least you have friends playing the role of Santa or Santarina and you get to play the role as well. Anyway, xmas is a jolly season where we get the kick out of buying and receiving sweet gifts.

I had a pre xmas celebration with my JC mates on Tuesday and we had fun doing our usual gift exchange action!
