We very long never go see the sun, sand and sea together liao. And also quite long never sing songs together. Can give shiyin a chance to practice singing chinese new year songs also. Also, yirong rarely got free time on a weekday (that hardworking girl...)
So far, response quite good. Some I am putting up some rough outline what should take place...

Den, bring cards. I will bring frisbee, volleyball. Huijie, bring your brand new Dolby Surround 4.8 Home Theatre System and some songs... ;) Anything else we need?

Gift Exchange
Now that the date is mostly set to be 19th Dec (Friday), that just means that you have 3 effective days left for shopping... I would think that with years of experience doing gift exchanges in this gang, we should all know roughly what are the "expectations" of a "proper" gift. Nonetheless, here are some guidelines...
1. Unisex. The gift should be suitable for a guy or a girl recipient. Means no undergarment or pink earphones or bright purple butterfly-shaped hairclip... That will also mean no suggestive items - I have personally received a wooden sculpture in the shape of a dick (ah, yes... the man's reproductive organ) in a lucky draw gift exchange 2 years ago with an all male group. I swear I won't be too amused if it went to my girlfriend.
2. No food. Nothing along the line of edible items. Means no chocolates or candies or peanuts... Drinks should be okay? I do think a bottle of wine makes a fantastic gift. I don't think people will be giving $19.90 worth of Coca-Cola as presents...
3. Budget for the gift ranges from SGD 15.00 and above.
4. Wrap the gift. An unwrapped present is simply rude, plus the fact that the lucky draw will want some suspense involved. If possible, make it difficult to guess whats your gift. And so, you should also try to get your present alone or with non-members of this organisation.
Yirong has volunteered to plan for games, so any ideas regarding games, go to her. I have a feeling "Murderer" is going to be part of the programme already... Haha! Meanwhile, Chay will send out a SMS to confirm the date and time soon. If you don't receive any, means you are not invited! ............................................ Haha! No lah.. Just means that Chay is too busy and might have forgot about you. In that case, give me an sms and I will feed you the information.

Chay's Cosy Cottage
To save the trouble of reading through the chatbox for everyone, I will summarise the current situation...
For our traditional x'mas gathering this year, we are going to Chay's Cosy Cottage, located at Teck Whye. The venue is more or less confirmed but what we really need is a date.
Chay's has given us the following options:
1. 19th Dec (Friday)
2. 20th Dec (Sat)
3. 21st Dec (Sunday)
4. 27th Dec (Sat)
5. 28th (Sunday)
Your preference would be preferred (pun not intended) by tonight - I quote Chay, "Voting will end 12/12 midnight".
Activity will likely be potluck (dinner), games (public transport strongly encouraged), gift exchange.
Potluck solves the problem of food. We won't need a committee to go marketing for fishball and prawns. Everyone will just bring something for dinner. HJ (and if I remember correctly Lunzi) have some booze at home and I think that should suffice. At this point, I should add that HJ is a changed man since I knocked him out with Chivas last year at the rugged chalet. He can now drink Jack Daniel without batting an eyelid and even keeps some stock at home. He is now the new Liquor King of the group. Haha!
The gift exchange will be a simple lucky draw style and your gift should be in the range of $15 to $20. Your partners are defintely welcomed to the party, but do ensure that every individual has a gift for the lucky draw. I've already bought my gift, so its time to go shopping if you haven't.
That's about it. Once we settle on the date, the party is ready to blast!
