Gift-exchange from Guilan.Gerrard likes to spin the top part a lot...
Looks like a dustbin at first glance.Now being used by the children to keep their toys.

This was the debut of Do-Re-Mi (as my old-time friends call them) in a social function.
Food was nice and the big spread of food was sufficient to feed an army! Especially the sausages!! Chun Hoe, now Liat and I know that you are indeed a sausage-lover!
X'mas exchange was fun. We agreed upon that everyone was to attend with a gift worth $10. I must admit here that some of my gifts belonged to the 'to-top-up' category. Which are the ones? I shouldn't say here. But there are some which are 'above-budget' category, e.g. the T-shirt from Hong Kong that Joyce gotten. Personally I liked it. But cannot keep as there are simply too many T-shirts in my wardrobe. Dun worrie, Joyce. I have not worn it yet! ;)
Unexpectedly, we had a 2nd round on Boxing Day. Food with wide spread (again!) and sausages were the main dish (again!). 2nd round was better than the 1st as Tiang made dessert this time. I am pretty sure that we cleared part of their fridge!
Thank you, Tiang and Chun Hoe, for hosting the occasion. Next time, listen to my advice - go potluck. We really wished you both had more time for us than preparing the food. Make full use of our X'mas gift for the two of you, ok? ;p
And to my 3 dear friends, yes, I will make sure the vouchers will be used on buying things for Gerry, rather than for the two other babies.
I hope Lynn can join us the next time... :[

the last sentence was something that I had hoped to have too.
I had a conversation w one of Tiang's friend (June) at the party and aft knwg that we all got tog thru basketball, she asked "so all of your basketball pals will be here today?", I hesitated and replied "most", instead of the usual, definite "YES ALL"..
Certain things are beyond our control but I really hope that as friends of over a decade, shld there be issues that we are not happy or comfortable with, plse share and raise... I believe we can all learn then, to see from each other's perspective and to avoid similar incidents from happening..If every1 keeps it to themselves and at the end, this will strain what we have nurtured over all the years..
so.. haha.. if u all feel that I always eat too much, plse tell me..=p..
I'll never kw if u dont say..
haiz, my darling will be sad, coz u spelt his name wrongly...choon hoe, not chun hoe.
Actually, i'm really happy & excited about this party. Somehow i felt that u friends are always so generous to me. So it's time I give back something too. But u all hor, still bring gifts...ended up i still feel very indebt to u all. =p
My husband is very glad too to celebrate Christmas with all of u friends. Thanks for coming over, and hope there'll be more parties to come! =)
