Christmas BBQ 2011

December 30, 2011December 29, 2011 sweet surrender 2 Comments

BBQ the next day again! So much food these two days.

This time, the BBQ was organized by friends from church at their house. I went there feeling sleepy. After ate the first round, I took a nap hahaha… Then continued eating again.

It’s different from Christmas eve’s BBQ, it was so cold that day. We only started in the evening. Brrr… Freezing! We had steamboat too. Called it a night at about 11pm+ I was extremely tired, soooo sleepy. Had not been sleeping well the past few days.

Was invited to hike Mt. Lofty the next day but I rejected it as I wanted to sleep in. I really slept in and only woke up at almost 12pm ;p

Merry Christmas 2011

December 25, 2011December 26, 2011 sweet surrender 2 Comments

My first Christmas in Adelaide.

Photo taken after 12 hours of Christmas’ eve cum birthday party at a friend’s house.

At 10.45am, 24/12/2011, my friend came to pick me up to do a bit of last minute shopping for the BBQ marathon of the day, karaoke whole day too. We started BBQ at noon.

The weather was scorching hot. Damn hot! Worst than Malaysia. I’m such a good girl, didn’t even touch single alcoholic drink 😉 It was also birthday party for 3 friends.

Left: Group photo of the girls at the party. Some left earlier, these are those still there at 10.30pm. Most guys were drunk already. Most of the girls were sober because not many of us drank.

Right: In fact, some of us left the party at around 8.45pm to catch the Christmas Light Show at Salisbury. It was dissappointing. Was hoping to see lots of houses with colourful lights but we were greeted by only 2 houses.

This is one of the houses.

This is another one. Drove so long and only saw two houses with the lights. Well… Along the way, there’s random houses with Christmas lights but they were not as great as these two. Not sure all together how many at this area but we only saw two major ones.

We rushed back to the party before 10.30pm to join the birthday celebration. We’ve been basically eating and drinking (including non-alcoholic drinks) for almost 12 hours before calling it a night. The poor guys were out there BBQ for us and we ladies all hid inside the house for air-conditioning. It’s sooooo hot.

Christmas morning, went to church. It was so hot in the church and felt like fainting -.-” Twice! After the service, we had tea break, yummy cake!

I’m leaving Adelaide soon… Gosh! It’s getting closer and closer. I’m still not that prepared to go to Korea. My packing not really done yet, no idea what to bring.

Going to have another BBQ tonight. Will prepare for tonight now. Merry Christmas and Happy new year!

Carols by Candlelight

December 22, 2011December 25, 2011 sweet surrender No Comments

Last Sunday night was the annual Carols by Candlelight at the Elder Park. Was curious about it so decided to went there to have a look. Some more, it’s just opposite the place I’m staying.

Soooo many people. You have to donate when you go in, I think you can donate whatever amount you want. I think… Was caught by surprise that we need to pay to go in and I didn’t have much money with me. Thought of leaving but at the end we still went in since we’re already out and there’s no place to go.

I’m there!

It was raining non-stop since the morning and finally the weathe cleared in the evening.

It was quite cold that night, brrrr… Didn’t wear much so went home before it ended. Besides, I didn’t pay attention there too, was busy talking with my friend. Heard fireworks but didn’t bother to check it out as I’m already so tired after picking cherries under the rain that afternoon.
