Xmas& New Year ‘07
So I had a hot and humid X’mas with the family in Perth. Coincidentally, it was grandad’s 90th birthday celebration..so here’s a snapshot of the mischief I got upto:-
Every night after dinner, the poker set comes out WITHOUT FAIL. We even played on X’mas! So blasphemous right.
Lazing around on Cottlesloe Beach on a lovely day. The same beach where a surfer lost his leg.
Being Chinese, the requisite dish@ X’mas would not be turkey but a giant siew chi. It was bloody awesome tasting, I can tell u that.
Instead of carving the turkey, Pa is carving the roast pork. We also had homemade popiah as well as honey and anise cured ham.
*gossip*gossip*stuff face*

Presents being exchanged
Yes, its the macho men.
And the lovely damsels with Grandad- The Macho One.
The cousins and cousins-in-law with grandpa during his birthday. The little man in the denim overalls is Grandpa’s great grandchild, Ben.
During the day, we’d be off running around either playing cricket or captain ball/ shopping for last minute presents /doing alterations to dresses/picking up the suits/doing our hair/ picking up ingredients for parties/arranging dinners/. But it was all wonderful, mad, chaotic fun
So after nine days of non stop gilaness, I came back to Melbourne to have a quiet New Years with WC. I shall leave you with a photo taken from Docklands (courtesy of Gavin).
