Christmas

My christmas celebration kinda started on the 24th and ended on the 27th. It was exhaustive but satisfying. I'm not going into detail. Just events that is note-worthy.

24th of Dec 2008:
The day started at 9am. Went to do last minute food shopping and marinating for christmas bbq. Omfg. Eliz's chicken has a heavenly smell. Not only that, when it's cooked to perfection, you can taste the sesame oil which is coupled with ginger and soy sauce which is OH MY GOD. Tis food for the Gods. -Chorus sings- We also made cheesecake. Almost had Skin Flavoured Cheesecake cause Eliz almost shred off her skin along with the lemon grind.

25th Dec:
Started the day at 10am. Went to buy the final stuff on the menu for the night.
Attendence: Adeline, Sharmila, Joyce, Elizabeth, Sheevonne, Sharon and myself.
We walked the dogs, played badminton, taboo and of course Rock Band. Everyone's arms ached from badminton. We spelt everyone's full name during badminton with every hit. Sharmila's name has bad fengshui. Could never complete it. During the bbq, shar brought out Glen's Vodka and I took out Pure Bacardi. 40% and 35% of alcohol respectively. We had potatoes, chicken, squid, prawn and chocolate fondue with strawberries, bananas and marshmallows.
Sheev got drunk. If we would rate her drunked-ness, it would look like an inclined sine graph.


One moment she looked perfectly fine, another moment she's swearing like there's no tomorrow. She can see numbers and process them, but she doesn't seem to know what she's talking about. She can remember to give us our presents, but she can hardly stand straight.

"I got for you all presents...Fucking plushies..."

My dad had to send her home cause she couldn't walk properly and we didn't want her to end up at woodlands the next day.
Eliz left too. She suddenly didn't want to stay over and asked her dad to pick her up.
The rest of us than bbqed till 1am and then had fondue till 2. We slept at 5.

26th Dec 2008:
We had cheesecake and logcake for breakfast at 10am. Along with a little dose of Baileys choc mint. Yeah what a breakfast. Everything's so gelate. Ade was like "I need salt". They went home at 2pm. I then had to take a quick 1 hour nap. Then prepare to go out with other friends at 6pm for dinner and movie. "Bedtime Stories" is a very good late-night movie to watch. It isn't heavy and it doesn't have you leave the theatre mentally worned out. Came back at 12+.

27th Dec 2008:
Woke up at 11am to prepare to go for my sister's christmas party. With Sheev, Sharon and Joyce. We got there at 1pm-ish and started eating at 130-ish. We snacked on crackers with Brie Cheese, Blue cheese, fruit cheese, dried raspberries, mango, raisins. Along with Philadelphia strawberry cream cheese, tuna spread and this weird dirty-green gooey thing which none of us tried.
Sharon got scarily addicted to the crackers and can be seen walking back and forth every 2mins or so to the table to get more crackers with cheese. AND DO NOTE THIS IS ONLY THE APPETISERS. Everytime I looked at Joyce, she would be popping a large slice of dried mango in her mouth. She even rolled one up around a slice of Brie cheese and ate it. It was Sheev's first time trying all these things so she just stood there and ate everything.
After fulfilling their snacking desire, we went to the main course which was served as a buffet. There was rice, curry, sotong, prawn, vege, tofu, prawnballs, kebabs and 2 other deep fried stuff which I do not know the names of. For dessert we had longans. After we've had all the food, we sat on the couch and slothed. More and more of my sister's friends streamed in during this time.
Suddenly, the smell of prawnball caught my attention. I turned to Sharon and saw her holding a toothpick and chewing something. Alas, I found out that Sharon has been eating MANY, MANY, MANY sticks of prawnballs. Then Joyce admitted the same thing. Sheev and I were the only ones who ate a normal amount of food. Joyce and Sharon ate so much I was worried that they were possessed.
Then this guy came over and baked Chocolate Fondant with B&J ice-cream. I had 2 servings cause it was so delectable.
My sister opened 2 wine bottles which was so SWEET. It was really nice. We only gave Sheev 3 sips or the party would have turned NC16 and there were quite a few kids around. I swear Joyce goes emo when she's drunk. 2 times she drank alcohol and after that she'll go to a corner, sit and look as if she's reflecting on her past 17 years of life.
Then someone brought 2 huge packs of potato chips which made Sharon oh-so-happy cause she constantly, once again, kept going back and forth to get more and more chips to eat.
We stayed till 8pm. And during the stay we obviously kept eating and eating and eating. It was unbelieveable how our stomachs held it all in.

Now i'm tired.
