Christmas Celebration At Sam and Ange's ~ The Smorgasbord




Look at the beautiful nasi tumpeng.... It was too beautiful to eat...

Look at how intricate it is.... On closer inspection, I found 2 duckies......
A mouse and a toadstool surrounded with plenty of flowers
 
Turkey.... it actually tastes better than it looks....



Dim Sums
 Lovely orange tuber dish
 Where there is ketupat, there is......
 Satay! It was delicious, cooked by Sam's dad with Sam's help, under the 40deg sun....
 Fried vermicelli

Frogs' legs..... NOT!


These pickles are to die for... the chillies will burn a hole through your ears but boy were they delicious!

And a partridge in a pear tree.....




 

What's Christmas without sugared up kids?

Corny dish



And lotsa lotsa meat!


 


AAAAAAND Christmas Yule Logs....

A Time To Relax, Unwind, Eat And Be Merry.......

Here we are, at the Crown Casino, flashing our cameras away, while waiting for the others to arrive.
 
This is dear Sista Barb, my shopping partner in crime.....

 Yup, that's me, reaching out for balls.
 
 

With Sista Bams and the lovely Andrea...... Congratulations, Andrea, by the way!!!!

Yes, I was lucky enough to win this shiny new car in a raffle...... in my dreams...

Pretty lasses, in a row, with Kath, Andrea and Sista Bams..
 

Sadly, I wonder if I can stuff 2 baubles down my top?

Enjoying the smorgasbord with Elda....

And Bev......
 
 
 
This could possibly be our last gathering outside the hospital for 2012. I'm sure with Sista Bams talented organisational skills, there will be plenty more in 2013 and beyond. I'm crossing my fingers and silently praying for a karaoke do next!!!!! It's either that or to a strip club......

'Twat The Night Before Christmas..... NOT FOR KIDS

Not for kids...... Oddly enough, I wrote this with Bryan by my side, but he wasn't reading what I was typing.....

Anyway, if you know "'Twas the night before Christmas", you'll be familiar with this....... 


'Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house,
There was a spider at the ceiling, in my own house,
Its webs were hung from curtain to chair,
In hopes that a fly or a moth will soon get stuck there.
 
The kids were sprawled out, all snoring in their beds,
While visions of crocodiles and Kesha thrashed in their heads,
With Derrick in his boxers and I in my dacks,
Had just settled our arguments about some crap.
 
When in the bedroom the thing arose was a matter,
I sprang from the bed when I disagreed with THAT matter,
Away to the toilet I flew like a flash,
Tore open a pack of earplugs to put an end to the clash....
 
The mood in the room was sullen and low,
I was in no mood with doing, with him, anything "down below"
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But my very reliable vibrator with one big vibrating gear....

With a little lever, it jumped lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be MY stiff dick,
More rapid than before, I cried when I came,
After which I sighed in relief and I gave it a name.
Maybe Adam or Bruce or maybe Dick-son!
Christopher, Danny, Elvis and even Richard Nixon?
Whatever it was it had me climbing the wall,
Now the feeling is ebbing away, away with it all.

Not as dry as before, and my wild hair fly,
When I meet with an obstacle, I let profanity fly,
So up to no good, I let my fantasies stew,
With a drawer full of toys and dirty magazines too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard a little "hoomph",
The snoring of Derrick right through the roof,
As I drew in my head, and turned around,
I fantasised a hunky man coming with a bound.

He was dressed all in Zegna, from head to his foot,
And he had manly cologne and he smelt oh so good,
A bundle of joy, he was hung in the sack,
And he looked like Marcel Nguyen, with a 6-pack.

His eyes - how they twinkled! His dimples how cheery!
His bum cheeks were hard, his hands were all touchy feely!
My drooly mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And his hands reached lower, and lower down below.

His stump of a pipe I held tight in my teeth,
As if I was smoking it, encircling its head like a wreath,
He had a broad chest and a flat belly,
That didn't shake when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly.

The had a chubby, no need of a pump, alright by itself,
And I laughed when I saw him, pointing to himself,
A wink of his eye, and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know, I was in for a treat.

He sprang to his feet, when he saw me, he gave a whistle,
And filled me up good until I felt him jerk,
And laying his finger, to where, oh he knows,
And giving a nod, up the tunnel, he rose!

At last, he sprang to his feet, and to his limo gave a whistle,
And away he flew, like a well oiled missile,
But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to you, and see you again tomorrow night!"

I couldn't help myself and I had to laugh when I was sent this picture of a very fortunate and well-endowed squirrel. Sandy Cheeks' one very lucky lady..... unfortunately she lives under the sea.....
 
I digress..... 2 days more to Christmas!!!!

Niner!

 
How I wish I rock my lingerie like the ladies up there.......Counting down in single digits, people! Only 9 days to go and I'm still sporting a little muffin top...... Time to crank up my crunches!

10!

Ten more days to Christmas! Can't wait to open the present I got myself! Yes, you read it correct.... Cos SOMEONE told me, time and time again, since the beginning of this year, mind you, that that SOMEONE was not going to buy me anything for birthday, anniversaries and Christmas. Oh yes, there are still people like this on earth this day and age...
Well, honestly, it doesn't matter to me at all.... cos whatever I want, I just go out and get them anyway.... anyway, to get even, for every non-present, I get a day off, all to myself, no kids, no phone calls except for emergencies, when we go for our month-long holiday end next year. So far, I've chalked up 3 days off..... Believe me, to me, it's a helluva big deal.....
Thinking of spa treatments and shopping ALL BY MYSELF!!!!!

Award Ceremony....

Caitlyn was awarded with a Certificate of Recognition for the Gifted and Talented Program on the 10th December 2012. We're all so proud of her. She's pretty sure of what she wants to do from Year 8 onwards.... Other than the usual curriculum, she wants to specialise in Japanese Language and  Math with the Curtin University-Rossmoyne Senior High School Smart Maths program, although her dad would want her to pick French up as well. I'll leave the decision up to her. Time to save up for her Japan and France trips!

Absolutely Beautiful











Until I get permission to disclose to whom these belong to, their owners will remain anonymous for now. I love them. Theyse are crafted with such detail. Once you see them all arranged in a meaningful fashion, one can't help but to feel the warmth, the happiness and the spirit of joyous Christmas. Makes me wish I lived in that little town. These pictures do not do justice to those little figurines that move, train that runs on the track, the kids swinging, the lights lighting up to the music...... Absolutely breathtaking.....
