Christmas party and stuff

Hmm I wondered how many years of Tab's Christmas party had I attended so far?

Remembered one year when I started mixing drinks, mainly cocktails.

One year when I did balloon art.

One year when I drank Oolong mainly and made shots.

This year I aimed for Mojito and Martini. The lychee martini was quite popular. Thankfully Tab bought the Lychee liquer. Peartini wasnt as popular.

Not many drank the Port I asked Candle to buy. Nevermind, save for upcoming New Year dinner? Ya just a few days more to the new year.

The Mojitos were alright, though not to Quetzal's taste. But I havent tasted one before so cant really tell how close or different was the Internet recipes. But GOOD NEWS, more Mojito-making. I saw this Mojito mixer today at Cold storage. There is also Mint leaves. Now only need Rum, if not just plain vodka. I have vodka but not rum. Another rematch.

Quetzal brought her sister along and mixed a lychee martini, mudslide, tequila sunrise for her. Then she drank port. Well after 4 drinks, still can, not bad.

The smoked duck breast is good esp for drinking. Its tasty. The turkey is also very tasty. First time ever eating Gingerbread house. The icing is too sweet but the walls are nice and chewy.

Really DARE NOT step on the weighing scale yet. Only one gym so far. Today supposed to go gym but kept pushing back. So bo bian, do a little bit of weights and sit ups later.

Thank Quetzal for her generous Christmas gift, didnt expect to get 3 items. I am trying to use them.

Today I scrolled through last week's Recruit and a bit of this week's one. Err non-educational openings not much that I can fit into based on job requirements. I have cut out some, will send to them tomorrow onwards. Tomorrow also intend to go do flexi-work, clock in one day. Tuesday I have driving in late afternoon, so maybe go swim too. Wed is temple going and then movie Avatar.

I will have to monitor my expenses more closely, and reduce. Was spending a bit too much over this period of time, though some stuff like driving, guitar etc did cost me a bit. But still have to cut my expenditure until I have something more tangible going.

The next year is almost on us... I wish for it to be an even more fruitful year than this. Until next post for new year resolution.
