21 Dec 08: Had our first X'mas gathering cum gift exchange for the year @ Ronald & Kit's new house in Tampines.
Their new house is very spacious - big enuf to contain 15 of us! There were both mahjong and Wii games to play; Pizza, KFC & homemade mango pomelo dessert to eat; and a very interesting gift exchange at the end!
The interesting gift exchange rules is such that every of us will pick a number from 1 - 15. The smallest no. (i.e. number 1) is the least advantaged thou he/she can get to pick the gift first. The Number 1 is the least advantaged because the subsequent numbers will have get to decide if they wan the gifts that are selected before them. Eg. Number 3 get to decide if they wan Number 1 or Number 2's gift, and get to exchange with them. Also, once you got ur gift, u can open and see for urself wat's the gift without letting others know.
Lucky me got Number 15!!! Hahaha... So I have the most deciding power, thou' I was left with the smallest gift. Mingli, who is holding on her gift tightly, gives us the clue that it must be something not bad.. Hee..Being kiasu, I selected her gift and "requested" to exchange with her.
See below pictures on her unwilling-to-part-with-her-gift look! Haha!
Once the "bargaining" session started, there was a great chaos!! Some people demanded to change, but somebody refusing to.. In the end, the small gift that I picked ended up in someone else hands as clever Mingli quickly exchanged with another person... Quite fun ya!
I've gotten myself a Hello Kitty dustbin which I am already using now. Hee...
Zandy is also so sweet to give us all more gifts at the end of the gift exchange session.. Got a couple hp pouch which I also started using now..
