Last nite was my studio's Christmas party... it started with a mad scramble for a venue cos Nikki was sick... poor thing what a time for it... mus be the flu bug? It was supposed to be my place but the moneymaking condo management charges like 30 bucks for the function room... hai so in the end we went to zy's condo in grange rd which had bbq pits for free (mine costs $20) Orchard road on a sat evening crawls with hordes of pple... so terrible man even in cold storage. Yup we went food shopping then to the party. Highlight of the party was the gift exchange. We drew lots to see in what order we chose the presents then each one of us had to unwrap in front of all haha to unveil any cheapskates... no there weren't any heh. I got a peanuts mug frm Lingwei & she took my prezzie... hmm i think the photo album zy got frm ernest & the pretty jewel box w ferreros astee got frm jo were by far the best stuff :) that ban zhang so graciously & perhaps happily hehe took chu yuet's prezzie was the most hilarious part haha claiming to save marshall frm havin to take it was a poor excuse :) okok enough of laughing at them. the food wasnt too bad... thought that jo's oreo cheesecake wasn't that bad we were all so mean to make her the butt of laughter... i drank a lil vodka w Sprite or was it 7up & fruit juice... was kinda diluted though... I suspect the concoction was responsible for my poor stomach this morn. Sigh the price to pay for being naughty cos my mum actually told me not to drink cos I was still a lil sick.
We then went to esplanade to hear qb sing...some a capella grp Christmas carolling thingy. The gals took Marshall's car while the guys cabbed there. Got caught in a jam at orchard... saw those streetwalkers outside the notorious Orchard Towers... so terrible polluting the place with their immorality in town somemore. Hope the authorities can solve this prob soon. Finally got there but we only caught the last part of the last song haha. Went to Harry's after that my first time at a pub haha so quai huh haha okok be humble petrina! didn't want to stay though cos i didnt felt like paying 4 a cab... i think i din hav much cash anyway & was awfully tired anyw...thank God banzhang wanted to leave so that was a good chance for me to leave as well since i din want to be a wet blanket... in the end a few others left as well... kinda pity cos qb was feeling ultra generous not to say that he isnt and offered to treat us all to drinks. Ok in the end I dont regret it... I mean drinking & pubbing isnt good though the former is kinda appealing hehe Also I had to get up early this morning for church so if I had stayed on it wd hv been terrible this morn... yup sp thank God for the way He provided & the way things turned out.
On the whole, it wasnt bad though i miss the AH kinda party haha chillin out at chris' house & all... well well it's a different culture altogether gotta accept that yea.
