Wii Party

It was indeed a long day...with the errands and driving up to LA and back, but I decided to head to Crystal's place about 1/2hr after getting back from LA. Everyone was there for a Wii Party Part 2. There were lots of Korean food - meat, chapjae, chijimi etc..and of course, ocha and alcohol :P

We were having alot of fun, screaming (of course we kept the noise down) and laughing..but Wii Fit was really challenging. It's all about balance. Some left at around 11.30pm (as they've been there since 6pm), but me along with a few others stayed till after 2am. You can get addicted to it..trust me. We also tried a new game - Rayman Raving Rabbids. Sooo funny...Top of the Flops etc. One of the video's we took is below...ahahha

Holiday Party at the Fawcetts'

It's been a longggggggg week...plus 2 straight days of meetings yesterday and today. At about 8, office was already deserted and I left the office and headed for Chris & Emily's house for a holiday party they were hosting. Man, it was really cold outside. In the low 40's.

Chris & Emily's place was nice and big, with longish driveway. I was one of the late ones, since the party started at 7pm. Various parts of the house nicely decorated with Christmas ornaments and decoratives, a nice great Christmas tree too :)

H'orderves , shrimp cocktail, desserts etc were served in the kitchen area, while a bar was out in the patio. Though there was outdoor heating, it was cold! Everyone were in their coats. Got a nice glass of wine that should warm me down and sat by the fire pit for a bit. Moving around, mingling and chit chatting.
