A Gala!

On the last day of the year, we were once again invited to the Teh’s residence in wherelse but the memorable and auspicious Jalan Yap Kwan Seng. It was drizzling again just like Christmas Eves. This time there were less people and the group was more focused. When we arrived, u.jeff pointed at your top and said “wah! santa –rina in Chinese costume wo”(you wore Santa hat with a piece of red Chinese top teamed with jeans and black patent shoes). You said Hi to everyone and then clang on to a.audrey and Lauren like glue. Rayern was so happy to see you, he gave his usual “grin” and you two just started mingling with one another.

Mrs Teh ushered us to have our dinner - I took 2 pieces of lamb, 1 big scoop of mash potato, hokkien mee and 1 6cm by 15cmUdang Gala - Thus the name A GALA! Mrs Teh is undeniably one of the best cook for Western cuisine (amongst all our mums) and a.am’s mummy is for the Hakka Food Department. The udang was so succulent, the lamb was tender and juicy, the hokkien mee was soaked in thick aromatic broth. After the hefty cum guilty meal, we chatted for a while and then made a move slightly before 11pm. We thanked everyone of the Teh’s except for the invitor…how rude? A.audrey was preparing Lauren for bed and we only managed to pass the “Thank you so much” to u.billy.

Before we set off to Mont Kiara for the countdown, you gave Rayern a goodbye kiss on the mouth, at first he just enjoyed and solemnly concealed it under his cheeky smile. But after much teasing, he refused your second and third kisses…

Mami sent you to Rasa Sayang Restaurant to be with AMD and yaya. They were so happy to see you, so was everyone else. Babee and I arrived Mont Kiara 35 mins before midnight and we got home before two. I didn’t enjoy the countdown, as the place was just too smoky…I sipped water throughout…I sat from 2005 till 2006…
