Tis ta season to be jolly

I will be squeezing my whole month of blog entries into this one entry due to my laziness ^_^ December 08 was Xmas + New Year month. This year's Xmas had more action due to my new job, the larger circle of friends and the compulsory 1.5 weeks of Xmas/New Year's leave. The photo blog below tells everything:

Xmas photos session in the city with Sonny. The same old Xmas tree at Martin Place. I suspect they keep the tree in the closet and bring the same old tree out, year in year out during Xmas.. boring.

Company's Xmas lunch at a local lawn bowling club. A 1st timer lawn bowler ^_^ Quite fun

Xmas performance at hillsong church. This is a yearly event and is normally professionally done. I have actually attended the performance 3 years in a row... time flies. Brought Laine, Kim and Ernest along tis time.

Xmas party at Laine's place.. everyone is doing the Wii ^_^

Ivy and me decided to take a drive to Brisbane to celebrate the NY. I have never driven to Brisbane prior to this. It was a nice drive... we took the coastal road stopping a night at Port Macquarie before arriving in Brisbane. Met up with my old primary/sec school friend Darren and his wife and also with my ex-refresh colleague, Joyce. I honestly can't believe we did so much in the last few days... even more amazing that the time flew by so fast... sigh.

look what ivy packed for our trip :-P

me and the midget lighthouse at Port Macquarie

Darren(my primary/sec friend..we go back as far as the goat & me ^_^) and his wife

NYE bbq at Joyce (my ex-colleague) and her husband's place.. yummy meal

The NYE fireworks at Brisbane's Southbank. It was a lot smaller than Sydney's fireworks, but it was a lot less crowded and had more entertainment to look at. We enjoyed ourselves.


HAPPY NEW YEAR !!
WISHING ALL OF YOU GOOD HEALTH AND HAPPINESS IN THE NEW YEAR ^_^
