Let's Party Out Loud!
|
|
we planned for this house-warming cum family get together months ago... and it was initially planned to be held on 17th May. unfortunately, due to my health condition (foot to be precise), and me being admitted, it was called off at eleventh hour!!! 
things happened for a reason...
so, today, we threw the much-awaited party... it was belated mother's day, upcoming father's day, and birthday celebrations (for june babies) all together! not forgetting, it was for our house-warming too!
why much-awaited party? coz the fathers got to chill, the mothers got to play games, and the children got to jump into the pool!!! as for us, the 'in-between' ages we joined all groups. 
one of the reasons why we (as in the whole family) love to gather and have spread of yummy food was because, we would be able to have the 'out-loud-EXCHANGE-GIFTS' ceremonial! the family started with this exchange thingy few years back... and though it was dishearten for some, but at the end of day, we all went back with something to remember!!!

the game goes this way;
- everyone comes to the gathering with a wrapped gift each
- presents will be placed in the middle,
- and draw ballot, who goes first, 2nd, 3rd and so forth...
- the 1st person gets to choose any of the gifts, and unwrap it infront of the rest
- the 2nd person may grab the present from the 1st person...
- (or choose another one)
- 1st person may choose another present again, if his/her present is taken.
- the present may only change two hands,
- and one cant grab the present they already had earlier!

so there will be a bit of conspiracy and  sour-grape feelings lah, if someone likes what you have gotten!  
it is a very super loud laugh and fun! (agreed by my hardy-girls!!!) 
Pictures are especially posted for family members, who are far far away.... and missed this party!
