C'est LA viE

So is the event going once a year again, here come our team’s Xmas function since Christmas will be in 2 wks time!!

This year, time really teleports! Yes I used the word ‘teleport’ instead of ‘flies’ cz I really think this year gone super fast! The image of I went back Malaysia during CNY in Feb, and I went to Aussie for Mayday concert was still very clear in my mind. The time past so fast which I thought many things happened on me was a last year event, but they were just happened in 2012!

Back to the event today, it was lot of differences this year, was a Category function rather than a team function. Well, things changed since my company had a big restructure, so my previous team – nutrition and bioactives had gone, and I’ve been transferred into a new team, along with my lovely supervisors of cause. As long as I am still working for the same 2 ‘insane’ supervisors, for me, things still remain the same. Perhaps just come a bit different with the big boss of my team, but who cares?

We don’t have event this time, thus the lunch was actually not budgeted by the company due to cost saving, which sounds real cruel for such big Christmas in a western country. I felt grateful at least I was here last year, and able to celebrate the ‘real’ team Xmas function, see here.

Anyways, today’s lunch was not too bad. Basically is a potluck dinner, at first I was told it was a BBQ, and most ppl said they will bring bread or salads, or desserts. Then I just thought I would just brought a layered jelly dessert (which my mum used to make) as I still have the jelly mix from Malaysia with me. However, my insane supervisor said jelly is boring…then they demanded for a traditional Malaysian food. So eventually, beside the jelly dessert, I cooked curry as well.

Luckily I did, because my chicken curry was soooooo popular, it gone in 15mins!!! I cooked a big pot of chicken curry with so many different ingredients, and I am really proud of myself, haha! Moreover, BBQ was not presented by the way, and reason was not given ==. We had a big chunk of Ham instead, but they wasn’t filling, so I think my curry chicken save the day! Hehe =P

Well I dint take photo today, as I thought it might not be a good idea as we were having this lunch function in my boss’s boss house. The house is very lovely, obviously owned by ppl from management level. Lol. But I still able to capture this

We had so many desserts today! The one at the bottom with the strawberries on top is my jelly dessert. The top layer was a coconut milk jelly, followed by milo jelly (second layer) and coffee jelly at the bottom. I should have captured my individual jelly ‘cake’ after I successfully made it. But I think my mum make better job than me, my jelly cake was not that great in term of taste. Sigh, need to make extra effort next time.
