let's make a toast

Spent the evening at The Yong's yesterday for a Christmas Party. I arrived pretty early as my mum had to drop off my Dad at the KL Central. Upon arriving early a few hours early, there was an ample amount of time for me to help out with the cooking (I was just paying attention to what Isabelle was doing) and table settings (helping Liz). Thank goodness I'd arrived on an empty stomach because the mouth-watering food that was prepared and served on the table would be a sin to pass off. Yes, it was that good. Everything tasted to-die-for. I helped myself to a plate of Nachos first, dipping it in a small bowl of some creamy cheese pesto dip (mixed with thai chili sauce).

When every one of Liz's friends left, it was time to do some clearing up. Picking up used tissues, cups and plates. Wiping off crumbs on the table. Throwing away rubbish. You get what I mean. When the cleaning up was done, it was time to start whipping up dinner. A six course dinner was prepared by Liz and Belle. In a blink of an eye, every dish was prepared and ready to be eaten. The table was decorated like it was some fine-dining restaurant - don't get me started on the food - the candles were lit and the music blended into the background.

 

 

When the "guests of honour" arrived (Josh and Abiel), the first thing Abiel did was snap shots of the entire dining area. Complementing his professional photographer exterior, he too brought along a tripod. All together, there were about four Canon DSLR cameras (including Nick's who came a few minutes later). When all the guests arrived, all nine of us took our seats at the dining table and was in for a lovely dinner.

Having known each other for quite some time now, bonding was made easy. We snapped pictures, chatted, laughed and sang the night away.

You have no idea how long it has been since I've had this much fun at a Christmas Dinner 
Party.
