Annual Christmas Gathering

20th and 21st Dec is the last weekend before christmas day. Many of us might be busy with xmas shopping, getting the last minute bargains in shopping malls, but a few of us chose to make time out and gather at chun ming's house (as usual, thx chunming and lilian for the venue ^-^) for our AJCAACO annual christmas gathering! =)

Preparations for the event started right from the beginning of the day. Our dear president, Qiling went to the wet market early in the morning to buy the ingredients for our steamboat buffet. Reason? "因为巴刹的比较新鲜，味道比较好！" haha.

So while qiling is busy preparing the food at his house after his market trip, me and serene went to ntuc and bought some drinks and things that qiling lacked. (Its good to have a house-husband coz you never really need to crack ur head on what is needed, just follow instructions =x)

After all these, chun ming kindly came and fetch us (and all our big and small bags of food) to his house. Frankly speaking, this type of host i dunno where to find sia... provide venue, do a bit of cleaning up even before we came, fetch us to his house, carry his house tv to our gathering, provide WII.. etc etc etc etc *applause pls*

So after reaching his house and doing a bit of cleaning up, we are now ready to welcome our first guest!

Ok, soon after, our steamboat buffet started. Pictures speak a thousand words, here are some for the buffet:

In case u r wondering, how come there is 药材 inside the soup, they are all brought by qiling to make the soup tastier! =)

After dinner, as more and more people came and join us, the people split into 2 groups:

And Yeah! WII is fun! I can dare say at least 75% of the time at the gathering i was glued to the tv set, either watching people playing or playing myself. It was a pretty no brainer game that we are all addicted to called "rabbids". Basically is just follow what the rabbids in the game are doing and you do the same and you get to compete with one another for the winner.

And these explains why we are all feeling sore and muscles arching after the game:

Next up is dessert time! Our "missy" aka nurse huiling brought along a christamas cake for the event. And boy, it was nice!

After the dessert session, each of us satisfied with the delicious cake, its time to present a token of appreciation to our hosts! For people who do not know, this is the second time we have been using chun ming's house for christmas gathering and what's more, its FOC! So it is of course natural we must show our appreciation to them.

Chun ming looks so cute! HaHa

The next day, its back to WII!! And we are so glued to the extent that we played from the morning till the time we left which is mid afternoon, in addition to playing the night before! =X haha

Last but not least, thanks to those who managed to turn up for this gathering. As for those who cannot make it, do make sure u come for the gathering in the future! =)

Have a blessed and better 2009!

P.S Sorry all, I know this entry is not so high standard as qiling's one. lol!
