We parted ways on Xmas day to spend the festive season with our lovely friends; while Leecher was out @ HQ's house for potluck, I was out at Ryan's place for a day of steamboat :)

We were supposed to assemble @ Ryan's place at 1pm, but being bros & sis for over a decade, we know that the unofficial reporting time is normally 1.5-2hrs away from the official time ... so the sisters meet at the station near Ryan's place at 3pm, lol

Grocery shopping for our steamboat ingredients @ Cold Storage.

Wine for the after-party :)

Preparing the ingredients in the kitchen.

Ta-dah! A table full of spread; with lots of mushrooms, fishballs, sausages. We were banned from buying tau-pok due to overdosage of it @ Joe's place 7 years ago. This has been our private joke ever since that fateful day and it will always be mentioned everytime we have steamboat.

ZZG made his grand appearance at 6pm, just in time for dinner. His punishment for being late - to help the sisters to take this picture :) Fling, we forgot to use a cushion to represent you, so sorry!

We eat-drink-gossip-iphone the night away. Turned out that out of the 8 of us, 5 of us are Iphone users & ZZG was peer-pressured to purchase an Iphone after his contract ends :P

As per Caihong's tradition, a group picture is a must! Fling, once again, you will have to superimpose yourself into the picture. Miao, Ron & Ye Ling had to leave for the night while the rest decided to come up with our own program at midnight ....

Another round of prawning. 2 sessions within 2 days; would I be entitled to a VIP card for my frequent visits?

Yeah! First catch of the night :)

The great harvest by everyone

Jocelyn caught a yellow-stickered prawn. Guess what is the prize?

A set of keychains, lol. We were expecting it could be a free basket of prawns or something; so disappointed :(

Ended the session with 18 prawns, 2hr of catching up over supper/breakfast, 1hr journey back home and reaching my place @ 8.30am on Boxing day. Off to bed for my marathon sleep!

Christmas 2009

A belated post. We had our first Christmas gathering at HQ's place.

A group photo of everyone present. New addition to the group, Gav's partner, Jac. Too bad Josh got something on and couldn't join us. U missed out man! (guffaw...)

Our gifts for the exchange. Mine's in orange wrappings courtesy of Blamer.

What's a better way to create the festivity at home than to have presents under the Christmas tree! Kudos to HQ!

Digging in to our potluck Christmas spread.

After dinner, HQ suggested playing the Pictionary Man set he bought. Something like win-lose-or-draw, just that the drawing board was replaced by the man. Brought us lotsa fun and laughter, would have been better if it's the Singaporean version as some of the American themes were like Greek to us.

After some more booze and snacking, it's time for the great gift exchange! Zg got Gav's present.

Mine went to Gav.

Zg's to Ray

Ray's to HQ

And finally, HQ's to me.

And everyone started ripping open their presents!

Seems that everyone got theirs out of their wrappings except me... ...

Still ripping... ....

And ripping... ....

Guess what came out from that BIG box??

Turns out that Zg got the most entertaining present of the night.

All of us took turns to play with Zg's present with Ray being the popular target practice. Should have bought more "weapons" so that we could do something like this:
