Double Happiness

On 27 Dec, the Gang had a post-X’mas cum Farewell-to-Ziyun party at my place. Yen cheerfully took on the task of food supplier, driving to buy roasted chicken, pork ribs, bacon, salad, spaghetti, X’mas cake and drinks, all with little Chloe in tow! It was only when the party ended around midnight did she reveal that she was actually having a fever that day… What Tough Gal our Yen is!

Thanks to Yen, Derek, Lydia and Tim (while Ziyun and I were tasked with taking care of Chloe), an impressive dinner was ready by 8.30pm. I think all of us were too famished by then to take any photos of the dinner spread. Dinner was soon followed by the usual chit chatting. We even caught Tim learning the ropes of fatherhood from Derek!

When Tim brought out his Dance Dance Revolution mat, the night reached a new high. Tim impressed everyone with how agile he was despite that 110kg frame. Derek, after watching by quietly for a while, was pushed to try out by Yen and impressed us all with his neat footwork. Meanwhile all is not lost for the gals – Lydia was easily the best of the gals with her good sense of rhythm and composed foot movements; Meiying put up a good show after getting used to the rhythm while Yen put up a good show by jumping everywhere except where she was supposed to! Many a times she looked like she was going to topple over and flatten slender Ziyun sitting behind her. Oh Ziyun…she was keen to try out as well but alas, Dr Tan you should not quit your day job… =)

The night ended on a high note with photo taking and everyone wishing the night can last longer. Well, there will certainly be next time soon as Huijun will be back in Feb and Ziyun in Jun. Looking forward the next big outing!

PS: Thanks Lydia for supplying the photos!
