Christmas 2009

One first celebrated X'mas ever since i enter Poly. X'mas since then are either busy working or stuck in camp. While this year, I decided not to work and go for as many gathering as possible. If I'm not wrong, a record breaking 5 gatherings!!

18th Dec: TP Tri Team gathering at Coach Pekya's place.

Place is still as crowded as before. A mix of super lao jiaos and super xin jiaos, gap around 10 years? This year, coach decided to shift the main food selection outside, while appetizers and desserts in the dining area. She also shifted the sofa set against the wall, giving the living room more space to maneuver.

Food are sufficient, enough to fill up my stomach. We had sandwiches, pizzas, fried and grilled chicken. I'm surprise with myself that i even had salad!! Was so hungry that i over ate at the start, didn't really have the appetite to eat Wilson's home-made cheese cake or tiramisu. Had a few drinks with Arnon's concoction and some terrible ones from me. Of course not to missed out Charles entertainment of getting people to drink.

Left at 11 plus pm.

19th Dec: CDO officers gathering

One of the most successful gathering we held so far. Total strength of 19, Present strength of 16. Venue is the Sakura at Dhoby Ghaut. Had some problem trying to link up, maybe because all never bring coloured flag or torch. The area is quite new, at least to me. I'm not a city dweller.

It is also one of the longest meal i had. Stayed there throughout the operating hours! We left around 9 plus 10? Walked around the area and decided to leave early, while the rest decided to go for a drink. Good catchup with the rest. Most probably gather back together again the next ICT.

25th Dec: Family gathering.
My family members are not those who really celebrate Christmas. But this year, my uncle decided to hold one just for gather of family members. Another makan session.. curry chicken, BBQ chicken wings, bee hoon, satay, otah.. eat-till-i-siao session!! White flag came out within 1 hour. Never pace myself again... Had another gathering to rush in the evening. So left my uncle's place at 7plus.

25th Dec: James aka BodyKong party/gathering

Reached there at 8plus, quite a good timing as the crowd and my group of friends are there already. Settled down quite fast, never attack the buffet line as stomach is still fighting the food i had previously.

This gathering is a open invitation to all James and his family friends. Main bulk of the people there are from his Church. However, our army group is not losing, holding up at least 2 tables and half of his accompany time. Left there pretty early, as i decided to get a ride home from my dad while fetching my siblings back from my uncle's place.

26th Dec: TP Tri Team Year (2006-2008 batch)
Contra to all above gathering. This is a drinking sessions, with enough food to hold back the effects of alcohol. Stomach bloated due to over drinking instead of over eating. Imagine you need to drink plain water to dilute the amount of alcohol we drink, maybe at a ratio of 1:5?

Reached there around 9plus, stayed till 3plus am. Heavily drinking at around 10pm. Arnon's place is like a club house to me. Like his wall paper theme, mixed of dark grey and reflective silver. Always like to visit people house see their home theme and furniture arrangement. Very long, never see Charles, also never see him 'high' from alcohol before. Good to see him around.
Cycled home after Wilson shake me up from my nap. Reach home and on my bed at 4am!

Would say that this is one of the most happening Festive Season i had after all these years. Truly a post worth archiving down these memories.


Merry X'Mas (belated)
