Christmas' 05 - The Hot and Heavy Affair
 The White & Black Party with whom I played Secret Santa to  Isn't she lovely
 A Hot and Heavy AffairMore photos of the Christmas party at http://www.flickr.com/photos/glamqueen Without a doubt, the Christmas party with the Innies was memorable, fun and full of little surprises. The cooking crew (Mel, Fel, Jings) whipped up a feast of roast chicken, turkey ham, pasta and mashed potatoes which was simply satisfying. Jan and I handled the decorations, making full use of the fact that Mel's house could be mistaken for "The House of Wax" with all the lovely candles and intricate candle holders. Luqs, the pre-event photographer, grappled with the task of taking clear pictures without flash with my stupid camera. This also resulted in many shots with Luqs' signature style - objectandperson, personandobject. Haha. Then came the moment I'm sure we had all been waiting for, the unraveling of the Secret Santas and I have to pause here to thank my Secret Santa this year. Jan, I'm sorry for being such an annoying shithead and for being so demanding. Haha. And after all the times I said, "If I was your Secret Santa, you'd get nothing" and after all the incessant teasing, I absolutely could not believe that you were my Secret Santa when you revealed yourself. It's so embarrassing actually thinking back of it now. But I'm so glad you were and I LOVE the gift and I'll treasure it forever. Thank you for brightening my Christmas this year. Love you. :) And to Luqs, thank you for the CD and the little note-on-blackboard thing. I appreciate all the effort you've put into it and I was so touched when I read the note. I love the songs on my CD as well, I think they're terribly apt. Especially the first track. Haha. I thought it was really perfect and amazing that no one got each other as Secret Santas though, because this way it was more exciting and varied. Jan got Fel, Fel got Mel, Mel got Luqs, Luqs got Jings, Jings got me and I got Jan. We're seriously a bunch who (in Jan's words), live our fantasies through each other. I think that's so true because we're all, in a way, retarded but strangely enthusiastic about these little things in life. We drew lots for the Secret Santa thing, and we also drew lots to decide which colour to wear to the Christmas party. There were three colours - red, green and white - so that two people would end up wearing the same colour (good for photos; typical photo whore statement) and we would look all festive. So there we were - Luqs and Fel in red, Mel and Jan in green and Jings and I in white. And this party was held in a house being Mel's humble abode with no one else to see our painstakingly dressed-up looks but ourselves. But I love it how we're all in it together. How, in this way, we're so different from other groups and so similar in the enthusiasm for rubbish like this. Thank you for making this dinner and Secret Santa event such an amazing experience, thank you for taking eighty pictures in one night, thank you for falling asleep to Sex and the City after that, thank you for making Christmas this year an extra special one. To Jan, Jings, Luqs, Fel and Mel - I meant every single word I said in your individual Christmas cards. Much love!
