christmas eve party had our annual christmas eve party today. instead of holding it at my house, we gathered at my grandma's because she just had her eye surgery and we didn't want her to move around much. the change in venue didn't really matter as my grandma's house has always been a central point and a great place to get together for such big occasions. dad dropped me off at my grandma's house after lunch with the presents and the log cakes from marriott (which in case you're wondering nobody ate. you'll know why later). i spent the time playing with my cute niece and taking pictures. most of my relatives started trickling in after five.  alvin saying hi! my cousin got it from golden village and gave it to her daughter (the niece i was talking about). my first impression was mcdonald's happy meal.  my niece is obviously very doted on. and not only by us. this is a tiny crab the uncle from the wet market gave her. he previously gave her a live prawn to keep too.  the naughty but pretty and lovable girl.  i was not the only one who arrived early. my twin cousins passed time by playing computer games and then reading books.  my mum who came by after work just plopped herself on a bed and went to sleep. i got bored after a while and started playing with my niece's kaleidoscope. then, i realised that i could take really pretty pictures with it. the following three pictures are taken with the kaleidoscope.  the scenery outside the window.  my niece, grandma (she's wearng sunglasses to protect her eyes) and my aunt (got cut off a little).  my mum. thought her blue shirt and black hair made a very nice combination. so after everyone showed up, we started on the feast! it was a pot luck, so everyone brought along something. we had a big spread! not really christmas-y food but we all enjoyed the buffet.  chicken wings, satay, konnyaku jelly from rickson's kitchen, ham, abalone, jackfruit, durian, nachos, kuehs from bengawan solo, fried beehoon and aglio olio from harry's. by the time we tried to finish all these, no one had space for the log cakes. while the rest were finishing up dinner, my cousin, sis and i locked ourselves up in the room to line up the presents. we tried something new this year. instead of everyone getting everyone presents, we decided that everyone will just get one present this year and draw lots. the present has to be at least $20, for all ages and gender.   we had 13 presents all together!  a mess in the hall where everyone was ripping their wrapping papers! last but not least, before leaving for my malacca trip...  i want to wish everyone a merry christmas and a happy new year!
