Christmas Party on base

On Friday the Operations Support Squadron (OSS) on base organised a Christmas Party. I wasn't very keen on attending initially because I didn't bring any heels or clutches or accessories for such occasions - though I did brought a dress in case I needed to wear one. But after some consideration I decided to go because this is probably one of the most fun activities here! So I ordered a pair of nine west black suede heels online immediately.

There was a toys donation drive so Ah C went to buy some toys. Ah C said he was so happy picking out the toys because he could visualise how happy the kids would be when they receive them. I am so grateful this is the kind of guy I married. On a side note, we get an additional raffle ticket (i.e. lucky draw) for each toy we bring in. Although we didn't win anything, it was still good giving things to those less fortunate. ( Although I really wanted that spa session! haha)

Picture of me with the toys! (actually I just wanted to post a picture of me dressed up cos I haven't dressed up since I came here! People here wear t-shirts and long sleeve Ts with jeans on a daily basis and I am totally comfortable with that..)

A picture in our house before we set off.
Dinner table setting at the Christmas party. Everything was put up by the key spouses (wives of the commanders, Lt colonel etc).. this is why I said in Singapore, we are so used to paying others to to do things, but I learnt that there are plenty of things which we could do ourselves!

Capt Tay's seat :)

Main course was so-so. But dessert was commendable.

Americans are very enthusiastic when it comes to games. There was a musical chair cum scavenger hunt, karaoke competition and a dance-off, and they were really entertaining.
Check out one of the contestants for the dance-off (not professionals btw).

There was also a backdrop for photo taking...

The party was fun. But I do wish more that I was in Singapore this December holiday. Because I am missing Christmas parties with my NJ girls and S club. I am also missing the birthdays of Ning, Yingni, Lisa and Huimin. I really miss my girls!
