those were the days. part 3

christmas was pretty much the same as last year, only difference was that everyone stayed up through the night and had fun playing taboo among other activities, maybe a slightly different crowd this time round, with zihao joining the fray while rayston called in sick.

headed to zheng jun's getaway home at punggol a few days ago to spiff up the place with decoration aifen and i bought earlier, not too sure whether to have it again next year with mixed reactions from the crowd, nevertheless, the atmosphere did feel more merry compared to last year.

started the night off with a few rounds of taboo, including two forfeit rounds where the winning team gets to spank the losing team with a weapon we called the hand of god, brought in courtesy of aifen, of course everyone had a fair share of the spanking, heh. canadian pizza came rather late, so after finishing it together with the jelly and salad i brought there, we split up to play mahjong while the rest watched some television program and continued with taboo thereafter.

after wishing everyone a merry christmas, we carried out the traditional gift exchange which spun out quite a few jokes; jianfei in denial after getting zhi chao's predictable gift and zihao's childhood dream finally realized! continued with our mahjong session while the other gang schemed on a surprise attack on us with the aerosol spray we bought originally intended for game forfeit, everyone eventually got together again for overnight taboo.

early in the morning, we cleared up the mess left behind by the spray in the mahjong room, took down the decoration and packed up the room we stayed in through the night, had lots of fun playing taboo, maybe pictionary next year? then again, i am not sure whether we will be having another gathering of sorts when everyone will be busy again.
