Sorry for uploading the photos so late! Anyway I took quite a number of photos, I've uploaded them on our class' photobucket. So you all can go there and take if you want!
And for people who miss the gathering, I'm going to paste my post from my blog on what happened haha! Let's have a gathering soon! Go east coast park or something. Probably right before school reopen so most people will be back in singapore or we can go after one long day of lectures haha!
__________________________________________________________________________________
Went to annabelle's house for 409's christmas party! Although there were only 14(i think) but it's considered a lot when you think about our class size. Plus all the scholars are back in their own countries, and some people overseas. Basically those in singapore all went. Haha it's much easier to organise a class gathering for such a small class size!
When I reached there only annae kuan huisuan eening huiying were there. I went to the kitchen to help kuan to marinate the drumlets. Kuan used annabelle's expensive honey from some country and annae was saying don't let her mum know haha! Kuan asked us to use light soy sauce and black pepper to marinate another batch of drumlets. Haha without kuan I think we will die in the kitchen. She's so pro at cooking since she often cook at home because she say her mum cook not nice haha!
We also went to peel the potatoes. The potato skin that I peeled flew everywhere except for into the plastic bag! Then we boiled and it and after that the 2 of them made it into potato salad! Very nice! Sarah and beehiang came and pop by the outdoor kitchen. Annae house is cool la! Got indoor and outdoor kitchen. And the best is that she has a ballet room in her house!!! Rich la! But she say her sister never use it so she and her brother wrestle there haha! But the room is so cool there's a whole row of full length and it's like those dance studios. If only I have one at home la. Then I can dance everyday without malu-ing myself.
While waiting I was playing guitar hero!! But with controllers. Haha it's less fun than with instruments and there's no band feeling. And it's more difficult. I always can't remember which button is for which colour. Seriously I such at such games la. After that went to play ddr! Annae has ddr mat at home! No wonder she's so pro la! I started playing with controller, then after that used the mat. And it was a total disaster. I felt like some elephant dancing. I didn't know which leg to use for each arrow so I was frantically stepping and jumping from arrow to arrow. Plus they dont have the bar to hold on like in arcades. I bet eening huisuan were like laughing at this stupid elephant. And as usual eening owned us for both mat and controller. Seriously after that horrible experience I think I'm going to give up doing ddr for now. If not I'm only going to embarass myself even more.
Guoshu cheryl arrived after that. Guoshu looked like guochang because she started wearing contacts! In fact so many people wore contacts that day la. Beehiang too because her brother broke her specs that day so she just took his contacts. Cheryl also wore hers. Anyway, they were bored with guitar hero so we watched Jim Carrey's The Big Liar (i think). It's super funny and meaningful at the same time. And Jim Carrey is super kuazhang la. We were saying the other actors are all very pro because they can't laugh when he does silly stuff. He's a born comedian. ANd while watching we finished the potato salad because it's so ncie!
We went to take annae's baby photos to look. She and her elder sis and her elder bro all look so alike. There's this photo I totally cannot tell who that person is. Even the he or she also cannot differentiate. And her sis look the same. While we were there, her sis brought her boyfriend home. And they are so sweet!! They are super close and she often bring him back and their families knew each other quite well. They were reading newspaper and looking at the laptop together. They are so close that guoshu kept thinking that that guy was annae's brother. And the thing is that her sis is only 1 year older than annae, and she already has such a steady and close relationship. So when guoshu knew about it that she and her sis are of the same age, she was so surprised and said she felt so deprived!
So annae's mum helped us start the fire too. She's very young la. Since I got nothing to do I went back to the back kitchen where our temporary bbq pit is, and talked to kuan joanne. I spent quite some time there talking but not helping haha. Guoshu cheryl were watching Shutter that beehiang brought. Seriously it's so weird to watch horror movie for christmas la. I didn't want to waste time and scare myself again since I watched it before. And it's less scarier because the atmosphere wasn't right since the lights are on and people are walking around. So I will just walk to the living room eating my food and when I see a scary part that I want to watch I will quickly put my plate down, take a cushion, and jump on the sofa and watch with guoshu haha! there was this time guoshu suddenly scream and scared me out when nothing appeared. But guoshu likes to watch horror movie despite being so afraid of them!!
Huiying brought only 1 sweet potato for herself! Haha but in the end she didn't want so the rest of us shared it. After that kuan and joanne appeared with 2 cakes for annabelle and eening. Annabelle actually bought 1 for eening, but joanne went to find another cake nearby with kuan and lilan for annabelle. So we have 2 cakes again! I think 409 loves to celebrate birthdays la. We celebrated so many together. And there are so many 'double birthdays' we celebrated. Like mr han's and 409's birthday. Then me and jieyi. Now annabelle and eening. But sukuang was by herself. Oh and joanne also celebrated with neighbour rouying and yining. We did the standard of putting cream on the birthday girls' noses. I failed putting it on annabelle. Someone else managed to do it and on her cheeks as well! So the 2 of them took a photos with their nose(cream) touching nose(cream)!
Then was gift exchange. 11 gifts so we numbered them and chouqian. Annabelle was smart she lined up the gifts properly so she don't have to number them haha!
Then we took a group photo at the steps!
409<3!!
