Oh ya, and not to mention the christmas shopping
Kind of last min as we always are, cramming both xmas shopping and party grocery shopping in 1 afternoon with fag, felice, daron n paul


cam-ed a little while waiting for f&f @ DFS.

Alrights, for christmas eve itself..

Hanging around before dinner



my parents came for a while and left before dinner as they have a p-a-r-t-y.

Presenting... the christmas trees (and presents!)

we had to repack the overflowing amount of presents





count them?
Then of course, there was the food..

harris, a.k.a the chef, a.k.a fag

and not forgetting, felice as well!



i like the shirt from hongkong

chef has to eat too






those long mushroom wrapped with beef slices.







the dinning table isnt big enough for all of us. poor daron and me got left out of the action

spongebob candy canes! not ur usual peppermint but apple & raspberry!
After a hearty dinner, we had few hours to kill before we feel that its okay to unwrap the presents. Bring on the games!
Game 1: Charades
Chicks vs Dicks!



the seniors haha

the categories




and due to female's superiority, the guys have to find other ways in order to get the upper hand... such as
distracting us by acting like monkeys


but in the end, it was the females who emerged victorious...was there ever any doubt?


winners!

losers

'why did we lose?'
just face reality brother.
Game 2: Number guessing game (1-99)

with 3 different drinks as penalties

Game 3: Word joining game in any language
10 down, 3 more left

the other 10 eliminated contestents chipped in a buck each for the winner


the final 2

WINNER! and 10bucks richer hah!

they should be getting use to the 'losing' feeling by now ;)
Other Games:
We were getting pretty desperate for games ideas by then so we just make do with any.
Shake it! (with a pedometer attached on the hips)





Pain endurance - 1 min

thats faggy

still can psp leh

signs of pain after a while


i thought the lighter you are, the less painful it will be? obviously not


aint too bad for me.. thick skinned i think.

this guy's skin even thicker
no feeling at all

'you call this pain? bring it on!'
gladly dear cousin hah!

Clearing up games
draw a card and smallest value gets the honor to do the cleaning up.
1: Cleaning up the table



in future don't stick to your psp and be the last one to pick your card.
2: Cleaning up the gift exchange wrappers


making life difficult
3: Cleaning up the the huge pile of present wrappers


so much to clear that we need 2 people. I got a bloody ace -_-
Next up was photo taking!
Group shot



as one aged, they will have difficulty getting up
the couples:



The greenies:


fag is so going to regret this shot
the four of us:

Below 27:

Above 50 trying to act serious:

hah priceless

they thought so too
random shots
spastic:

happy (needed a $50 bill to get us into the mood)


bored "we-want-our-presents-now" look

look at daron. damm poser leh hah
happy cousins

sad:

look at daron again
HAH

and again!

we are actually good looking okies

everyone to harris: " you should just smile normally for that above pose"

the best 3 had another go

but out popped this 'creature?' from nowhere and was crowned the winner

someone wants to present badly...
Counting down..


And last but not least.... Presents time!
Everyone has presents!














weights



couldnt get a better book then that for him
gift exchange



We were all wondering the whole night which joker bought thi gift and wrap with plain white paper


it was a game of ludo. from nick n daron.
the 3 of us broke into fits of laughters upon seeing it.
Quoted from daron: our close cousin bonds started way way back. u hardly or never find us crying anymore. I know i use to be a terror but the one thing that never slipped our minds was the fact that we managed to put harris to tears after 'kicking' all his counters back to their base in LUDO.
10++ years down the road, it comes back to haunt him.
thats the end of the celebration and it's sure a whole lot of photos. more than the number of presents under the christmas tree!
