last night i went to my mom's new year party. all her senior colleagues were there so it was mostly old people and they're wives and little kiddies. i was so bored there cuz there was no one to talk to. i was so tempted to talk to the waiters. so anyway, they had a buffet and i took some food, sat down and eat. it was so awkward cuz the table was rectangular and it seated 8 people. so along the long side of the table, my mom, dad and sister faced two ladies and one husband. i sat along the short side. so i was facing the other woman's husband.
it got so awkward. so i finished up my food very quickly and ran away to get dessert. there was some pudding... and a little cake and this thing that was wrapped in a leaf... and i was wondering why they didnt have any spoons. so i had to eat the pudding with a fork. so while waiting for a cup of orange juice to come, i took a few sips of my dad's wine (might be an understatement. my dad claims that i drank a bit more than a few sips) and just ate the small piece of cake whole.
then it was time to watch some performance. and these two dance instructer came out to dance. then out came their students, in bikini-like outfits. i mean, why would you wear something like that with
old men and women around?! so they dance dance dance and went away.
just when i had enough of the funny music, the male dance instructor came out and danced with the boss's wife. and then she went back and another one came out and danced tango. it was so weird. cuz the guy's head was like jerking so suddenly and the lady was trying to keep up. it's weird though... married women.. dancing with a dude with a pony tail.
so then they had dancing lessons for those wanting to learn how to cha cha. and i went out into the open to get some fresh air. it was pretty dark and i didnt see the step in front of me. so... i fell. it's not like those little trips. i just fell with a thud. so embarrassing. so i stumbled back to the table only to find that my mom, dad and sister were up there dancing. so ran to hide in the toilet just in case my dad decided to drag me up.
so in the end, went out side to watch fireworks. then found out that a tree was blocking the way. went back inside and sat down and watched old people dancing... and my sister was trying to act pro.
new year... wasn't really the best lah.. but the food was nice.
