Christmas 2007

Due to the recent happenings in my life, I wasn't so sure that I would like christmas this year. But Christmas 2007 was simple yet wonderful. There wasn't any 'wild' parties like the previous swingin 60's nor exciting stuff like getting myself electrocuted nor spending it in a foreign land (i wished i did though). What I had was a meetup with the usual gang and a little party over at my granny house on christmas eve.

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

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

Photobucket
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!
