What is Christmas without friends around you? So Warden and I invited some of our friends over for a potluck lunch today. I was too lazy to wake up for a jog in the morning, and thus ended up waking up really late. After a quick breakfast, Warden and I started the tasks of tidying the place and preparing the food. At around 11am, while I went out to throw the rubbish down the chute, I bumped into a flower delivery guy. Since he was holding the flowers that I had ordered online the previous day, I asked him if he was looking for my unit number. In a fluster, he looked concerned and showed me the flowers. He said they did not look fresh and asked me if he could return with another bunch in the afternoon. Of course I agreed. I must commend Noel on training their staff really well, and taking pride in their work.
Our friends started arriving around 1:30pm, and the wonderful food started spilling all over our tiny dining table. Ham, salad, pizza, strawberries, otah, pork knuckle… very sumptuous!
The rest of the afternoon and into the evening, we played mahjong. We thought it was more fun if we could throw in a bit of money just for kicks. For some strange reason, a rookie like me lost just $2.50! Finally, after watching the current Mandarin drama series, titled “Little Nyonya” I think, we had a little gift exchange. Warden and I got a cap each! So cute!
Christmas is a wonderful time to catch up with friends and enjoy each others’ company, don’t you think so?

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone
Wilfrid, apart from the Hoya DMC protection filter I got with the lens, I do not have any other filters. Slight crop, and a little touch up in Picasa. The soft light came from my windows in the afternoon.

Hello tikno! Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year to you! Thanks for dropping by my site! Yes, Orchard Road is a pretty sight at this time of the year, but too crowded for my liking
