As Christmas neared, my friends decided that since we are "mature adults" we should have a Christmas lunch where we all gathered and cooked one dish to share between each other. The day was a great way to see each other before I left for my trip and we all learnt how to play "Avalon" which was more exciting than we thought. If you like the card game, Mafia, then you will seriously love Avalon.

The dish that I took along was the "Cheeky Chocolate Cheesecake" which you can see on my previous post. Others had cooked ribs, pasta, sushi, quiche pie, nachos, banana bread, spring rolls and we even had a leg of ham! How grown-up LOL. We also built a gingerbread house village which most of the photos are of.




Well that's it. Hope you are doing well in 2014 and remember to remain safe and happy :)

Unfortunately, this post has no photos so you will have to survive with my rambling words. In early mid December, I had my work Christmas party at a park near Cecil Hills. We just had a bunch of food along with a BBQ to chomp on but the shenanigans made the day. One of the co-workers had brought a water gun which resulted in a water war being declared. Even though I was the main target with my body being soaked about 2-3 times, it was still great fun as people plotted with others to try and target certain people especially the head tutors of my work place.

After the BBQ had finished, some of us decided that we weren't ready for the day to end so decided to go bowling. This was where another war was declared between me and another co-worker, 3 fingers vs. 2 fingers technique for bowling. We recruited our followers and tried to show up each other. It ended up with a lot of laughter but I have to say first place did go to the 2 finger team, only because he was an experience bowler while the rest of us were sort of newbies.

Overall, it was just a great day with my fellow co-workers who I don't really get to see as I only work once a week. We plotted, we laughed and bonded quite a lot over the course of the day and will remain as a great memory to remember for the years to come.
