Xmas eve - Fellowship and too much food

Since my last working day, I have been busy. There had been times when I had to think of something to update on my blog. This time around, I have too much that I want to update on. For Xmas eve, it was one party after another and that was just the evening. For this year, Jessie's maid - Amy, tagged along.

Dinner at Leong and Angie Lai
With my contractor striving hard to complete their work before shutting down for Xmas, I was getting a bit nervous as we had a dinner invite from Leong's family at 7pm. Eventually, we got cleaned up and left for our dinner date at 7pm (yes, we were LATE!). And to make things worse, it's a Wednesday, which meant that the Taman Connaught roads were jammed due to the night market. We managed to arrive 40 minutes late. Well, better late than never.

Angie spent a lot of time preparing the dinner. We had Pie Tee (a crispy cup which you fill with food like grated turnip or potatoes or anything else you fancy), Mushroom with Pacific clams, Fresh Lettuce to wrap any food you want, fried prawns, another green veg, Leek fried with roast port and so on. To wash all that down, we had Jasmine tea. Wunderbar!!

BBQ at the Hiews
Vincent invited us to his parent's house as well. They had planned BBQ for the night. Some of the usual suspects were there - Stefan and Janet, Andy and girlfriend, Yee Ling. Oh oh - system blinking - FOOD OVERLOAD. V and M ordered 150 sticks of satay! Guard dog Rocky snapped at a couple of the guests and was initially chained up and then turned loose OUTSIDE the house. More Chinese tea helped to wash down the gluttony.

Vincent H's apartment to wrap up and welcome Xmas
And with 30 minutes to go, the gang changed venue and went to VH's apartment for a drink. There were plans to eat burgers too but everyone else was filled to the max. So we had a very light Japanese cheesecake sponsored by Janet. Just right!! 10 minutes before midnight, fireworks were going off around KL. And some were making their own fireworks at V's. And drinks. Yee Ling even had time for a Middle Eastern karaoke - the shisha.

We had to call it a night by 1.30am as Alex could hardly keep awake.

Merry Xmas and Happy New year!
