NUS Kendo Club's annual Christmas celebration was held on
26 December 2010 (Boxing Day).
It is the club's tradition to hold our Christmas party on the Boxing Day--don't ask me why though, it has been like this for generations (><)
The party was held at the Gervinn & Melissa's house. Gervinn is our newest Shodan in the club and his sister joined the club after being inspired by her brother's kendo! A big thank you to them for generously offering their place for the party!! (^^)
The main group met at Serangoon MRT control station at 6pm. After watching endless crowds of people weave past to the newly-opened NEX shopping mall, we moved out to Gervinn's house. On arrival, everyone rushed to snatch some playtime on Guitar Hero (as usual!)
Guitar Hero continued to remain to be the main source of entertainment for the rest of the night~ No one will ever get sick with singing and playing their favourite songs ;)
(Though we may question the ability of some of our members to sing. HAHAHAHA

Everyone wants a piece of the mic~
Y.M.C.A. !!!
While most of us were too deeply engrossed in the world of Guitar Hero, the rare few clever ones stealthily started eating. Food disappeared in the blink of an eye due to the mammoth appetites of the few anonymous kendokas!
Potluck was the main idea for the day, and a plethora of food choices were up for grabs. As per usual, the more popular foods like nuggets and sausages vanished rapidly.
Finally, after all stomachs were satisfied, we proceed with the first main event of the day--Christmas cake cutting, and the joint birthday celebration of November & December babies!! What's Christmas without log cakes right? ;P
Everyone rushing in to save the candles~AND! Following right after the cake-cutting, the most important event of the day:
GIFT EXCHANGE!
Everyone grabbed their own presents, gathered around each other and waited for their names to be called out, praying that their presents will fall into good hands ;)
After rounds of laughters and applause, all gifts were exchanged, and we were ordered to unwrap the presents on the spot! Everyone's faces beamed with anticipation~~
Who will be the lucky one *drum rolls* ??

Monoply Deal!! 
Bridge - A very intelligent game As the night drew till late, despite the immense fun everyone was having, people started to say goodbyes one-by-one.
And silently, the party ended with a tinge of unwillingness left in the air. ):
Once again, a BIG THANK YOU to Gervinn & Melissa for being such great hosts and to everyone else who made this Boxing Day party to be so fun-filled and memorable!
(Of course we also have to thank our dearest Welfare I/C for organizing our traditional celebrations and MORE! --Belinda)
Let's look forward to the next Boxing Day! ^_^
