Christmas of 2008, a déjà vu other than Raymond's girlfriend, which is somewhat new to our usual gang. Prepping of the dinner started some time and ended in no time, everyone helped in some ways, I think. Of course not putting into consideration our newbie, Mrs Raymond, into the kitchen, that would've been 'inappropriate'. Pamela along with Mr Pamela, her husband, came just when we finished preparing our greasy Christmas Partae, with munchies and wine for all. Besides the richness from our all-mostly-fried feast and Christmas log cake lookalike, there wasn't really any room for our chocolate fondue. Hence, the fruits and chocolate fondue were given away as a Christmas complimentary package to Jiajia and family, on behave of the gang. Everyone's a winner.
Food, I've to repeat this a-gain, was overwhelming, but entertainment area was rather dull. Greatest suggestion of the night, MAH-ther-fuckin'-JONG, with 4 people sitting around a square table, looking at small tiles. Yea..right! I would've expected all to be at least doing something together, than segregating into groups. Dey! Where is the Christmas spirit Dah?
All I could hear whole night was the noise from the mahjong, that's about it. It felt strange having a sense that some of us there were just there to kill time, than to get involved. Ignoring the fact that if mahjong was suggested, what would the rest be doing. None of that came to their minds. Simply doing it coz they want it. Major sad case in history. Excluding the newbies, the some of us, wasn't having much motivation around. If no one had actually initiated anything for this Christmas, I'd guess we'll all be rotting away at home starring at the TV with our butts stuck to the chair. It bothers me greatly why there are people out there, who just wanna tag along without contributing ideas or suggestions. They would have a default mindset that eventually someone would come out with a plan, they're pro-active to know pro-activeness exists. Classic role model of the year.
Besides the boisterousness and evil eyes, Raymond's girlfriend is basically quite a vexatious situation. This unique specimen of a kind, brought aggravating physical and vocal noises, she voice really up the ante with the mahjong noise. It all ended pretty quick, and, bang, most of them were gone like a passing sandstorm. The few of us left were roaming on the internet, searching for past forgotten local drama theme song, the nostalgia in that, ultimate vurdoon.
