let us recall again... first was going for the japanese students exchange activity, den come ailing bdae party. Later I had girls outing with 61 gals... and realised girls from archi (on the trip home from ailing party at that time) and 61 gals all trying to match me up with guys they can think of. my archi fren will think of the archi guys n found out not much choices haha. And as for 61 gals... aiya, they try to anyhow try 61 guys in hope to get treats from me.... hmm i wonder why am i kenna all this.... do i look like really Jia4 Bu4 Chu1 Qu4 kind??? that bad ar?? *sigh*
Ok after the 61 gals outing.... I think next is Yuetyee's dance performance that i mentioned about in previous post. Yup, as promised, gonna post some photos here:
1.1 this is yuetyee~~ awww, isnt she gorgeous?? yup, if u see close up enuff, u will be amazed by the scary long fake eyelashes with the thick mascara and exaggerated make up... but it is all for the effect under the strong lighting mah~~
1.2 wow, is this yy's fan club??? haha so many of us~~~ yup these are all the archi ppl who went down to support yy~~
Ok, so after the dance performance, the next event is an early xmas party at Ying's house!!! and that was why i baked lotsa choc cookies. I baked from 1-2am to 10am the next day.... ya... it was so tiring... it was that slow becos of the small tray i had... so i baked like 6 cookies at a time... snail manz.... and i tried to make xmas tree cookies too! right, here are the photos: (aiya, i havent got the whole group photo from ying!)
2.1 haha we were still preparing food~~ many of us were there already when me and some other gals arrived~ haha ying is the one with the banana~~
2.2 wow wat a spread~~~ we hand melted choc to go with the kiwi and strawberries, salad, nuggets, muffins, mua ji, poh pia, tang yuan, and brownie that sat besides my tray of cookies!! yea that was ailing's brownie that was eaten with choc ice cream and it has same colour as my cookies... lol. all the food was sooo nice!!! later someone came with tiramisu!!!! awwww~~ and also choc mousse... well, i tried to taste all of them but was rather full.
After eating, we exchanged gifts~~ damn fun lol.... and before we leave, some of us took photos outside the door.....

Ok this marked the FIRST xmas party~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The second xmas party was at wm's house on 23rd dec. hehe the day before i went on heavy shopping spree. Not only on gifts but also on clothes etc that i need. hehe
I met up with wm, gab and sel at KAP's cold storage and later jov came. We all took wm's schbus to his house~~~ hehe..... and sel had brought mahjong set and table so we were all able to play mj. Wm dad bought us alot of food and while eating, esther, zq and yuwen came!! yay more ppl~ in the end, we either watch tv or play mahjong. den we finally cut the log cake that wm bought. yay i got the log's end piece.... my fav~~ ^^

yw, est and zq went back after eating the gift exchange. meanwhile the rest of us still playing ard... it was pretty late and jov decided to stay back.... yock went off earlier with her mum to airport to fetch her bro. So left only me to go back on my own. gab oso wanna go back. hence wm is so nice to bring gab to a bus stop and fetch me straight to my house! yay!!!! ty ty ty wm!!! simply love ur sch bus.... make me feel like learning to drive too. Becos i understand the happiness that one feels when one has a car lift from ppl. So i feel like taking up driving so next time i can give ppl lifts too. :)

Ayway, the food prepared by ming and his family and really special. There's in house barbequing of beef and poh pias that we have to make ourselves. They prepared the necessary fillings. I love his egg mayo manz..... yummy~~! I didnt eat alot of those fried stuff cos i got sorethroat... after the party at wm house... lol.... ate too much choc i guess. oh ya, den some guys were playing xbox games. At first they tried the car racing ones, and later they went to playing "dead or alive" which is on beach volley balls.... yea and the guys made alot of woo woo sound when the scene zoom into the barbie-looking 3d players... they are rather chio la, and somemore in bikinis..... tsk tsk....
Many of us chat ard, even after the gift exchange hehe~~~ very very enjoyable. I think after all these parties, i think i finally get to mix more with the archi ppl... yay~
