Carolling Event on 23 Dec 2008

After sacrificing a few weekends for practicing, finally, D-Day was here and earlier this evening, the group of carollers went around the neighbourhood to bring the spirit of joy and sharing to the neighbours. I must say that though not all of us are Christians, but true to our Malaysian spirits, all of us, irregardless of religion turned up in full regalia to paint the whole neighbourhood RED, literally. Take a look at the preparation :-



And we have our own tailored-made in-house Santa Nicky-laus to boot, literally!!! Look at our Santa and you will believe that the REAL Santa will lose some sleep over the competition, if ever our very own Glenmarie Cove Santa decides to venture outside his territory.



As the saying goes, behind every successful Santa is a Mrs Santa, in our case, BESIDE our Santa is a Mrs Santa, like Malays saying, bagai pinang dibelah dua, loosely translated, perfect match made in Heaven...



The group made the procession to the first stop. The sight was fantastic with the RED uniform and lighted candles.



The first house, Jason and Ann's house. Following photo is the graceful hostess, who are so generous with gifts and foods but we didn't have the opportunity to really sit down and savour the goodies provided. I am sure, next round may be, we will finish off every morsel of it....



Then, we were off to Saran and Anita's house. I tell you, Glenmarie Cove residents really spoilt "us" - us, as in the ADULTS as well as the KIDS. I mean, who can resist good food, yummy food and great hosts? Really, you can see for yourself how the hosts spoilt "us" - it is a wonder that all of us didn't end up looking like future Santa with all these generous residents around...





By this time, like the Ultraman button on his chess, my "cap ayam" camera signalled that it was running low on power, so, by the time we reached Auntie Mary and Uncle Tony's house, I could only managed to capture some photos before the camera gone kaput on me. Look at the lovely couple, with Santa acting as the "street lamp"...hmmph....What a role model to emulate...the loving couple, I mean, not the "lamp-post"...he he he.



After that, we were off to Uncle Jeff and Auntie Cathy's place, then onwards to Uncle Rama's place, Auntie Viji is off to India, this time, not around to spoil us with nasi beriyani, otherwise, we will eat, again!! Who can resist Auntie Viji's beriyani?? (at times I wondered, where do we find the space in our stomach for so many meals in one session???).

Last but not least, we adjourned to Uncle Joe and Auntie Stella's house where the kids had their party and gifts from both of them and again, the host spoilt us with wine, beer, cookies, coffee (which I couldn't resist, keeping me awake at this hour, posting this evening's event) and plenty of deliciously, sinfully fattening cakes and pastries. I don't know about the rest of the guys but I do know I won't be looking into mirrors for the next few weeks after all this overeating!!!

And as usual, since my camera battery gone dodo bird on me, I have to wait for the resident cameramen (Uncle Tony, Uncle Albert, Brother Vennu, Brother Ganesh) to provide the rest of the pictorials.

Till the next update, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. See you all in the countdown party...ho ho ho...
