what did you do over christmas?
On the 23rd S and I invited some friends over for dinner. The turnout was better than expected--about 20 people cramped into T's room waiting to be fed; we only estimated 4! But my flatmate S is a very good cook, chicken, fish, pork, salad, potatoes, dessert... you name it. Everyone left with a satisfied tummy. H also brought over a lot of Tang-Yuan (Chinese winter dessert) which gives you sweet memories of home. Unfortunately nobody liked the Christmas pudding I bought, sigh. Most of the people didn't know each other in the beginning, but at the end of the evening they were able to draw some connection through mutual friends--it's a small world after all.
Where is Rachel?
I spent Christmas Day + Boxing Day at HY's. We sang holy songs at the church and went for a walk at the beautiful Richmond Park.
