MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Yes it's rather late... I know. I was just reflecting this morning that even though I've been on leave since Christmas Eve (until 2 Jan), it hasn't felt particularly restful - and I think it's my own doing. Possibly a combination of my perpetual performance-anxiety mode and the fact that we've packed the week with parties - 4 in 8 days, out of which 3 are at my place! Time to discipline myself into taking rest...

Anyway I've resolved that for tonight's party, I will not think about tomorrow, not worry about the state of the living room floor, and not wrestle with thoughts of what to wear for the next party! Instead, I will focus on my friends and the yummy food, and just ENJOY the moment. hee... easier said than done, but no harm trying...

Here's some pics from the most recent party - my CG Christmas Lunch!


Many more shoes than usual at our front door...


Cool drinks brought by Kun Quan~ I love the retro feel of the apple bottle drink!


My roasted chix drumstix - marinade included soy sauce, honey, garlic, allspice, pepper and olive oil.
