Boxing Day

Both hubby and I are on leave till next year, so we've decided to prepare simple lunch meal at our apartment yesterday for a small family gathering. It was really a last minute decision (at 9.30am!) that we didn't invite everyone though we would have loved to.. Not only time is a factor but space is also another factor to consider.... I guess it is not proper to extend invitation at a very last minute too... Nevertheless, hubby's family members (minus FIL as he had to attend a meeting unfortunately..), Izah & kids, Dominic plus aunty Anda with Yus & his geng dropped by on Boxing Day. I only cooked two dishes i.e. tomato garlic prawns and mixed vege while the rest of the dishes were bought from a nearby restaurant. Hmmm... how I wished the management of this apartment provides a club house that we can utilize during festive seasons ... We could then organize bigger gatherings and invite everyone else...as for now I guess we'll just have to cope with it and perhaps do a few small gatherings at different times...oh well maybe we ought to consider buying landed property in the near future...but with the house prices that is ridiculously marked up nowadays, we just have to put that thought on the shelf for now...just another wishful thinking...
