The new year we decided to hold a small party at our abode(house i mean..) with some very good and close friends and family. It just shows you can really have a good time,middle age standards of course by just celebrating the countdown at home and not at hotels with crowd of strangers. The GBAT gang we call ourselves, a group of well meaning friends with no airs and sometimes we just talk nonsense(honestly!!) even among us we had a YB. Maybe that's what people in their late 40's and early 50's do.
The evening started with a simple meal of Ba Ku teh (Malay style) ,fish head curry and "rojak tambi".
Ha ha what a combination, and nothing is complete nowadays at a Sarawakian household gathering without the "cake lapis" ( layered cake , does this explain it well? i doubt it ,it sounds more like a Daniel Craig movie title!!!).
The evening got more interesting with some rendition of karaoke, we do have some fantastic singers(count me out though..), the best of our lot though was not around , we called him Mike Halim(he never pass the mike to anyone once he started his singing) .
The wives decide to repeat their family day dance routine performance, real fun and hilarious and if the steps are out of sync who cares? Because obviously the audience(i mean the husbands) wont dare to criticise.
The night went by without us noticing the time and as we listened to songs reminiscent of our youth we don't really feel that the new year is just another reminder of a year of getting older.
So adios 2008 and what better way to welcome 2009 with a group of close and real friends , a real treat for us all that our last guest finally left around 3 am..
