House warming
It was a very hot day, thank God for one in wall air con, standard air con and evaporative cooling!! We were able to accommodate totol 25 people in our humble house. (What's with surprise guests? Due to some communication error, we didn't expect the extra 2 people. For future reference, it's uncool. If they had at least given me one hour warning, I'd be very happy. At least I know to order another pizza rather than feeling "condemned" that I wasn't able to accommodate all those 25 people's stomachs.)Anyway it was a house warming on a very warm day. I hope people were satisfied with the hospitality we provided. I'm not sure. I hate food going to waste so I only made the exact amount for the number of peole I EXPECTED. For example, 23 prawns were pretty exact. 20 rice paper rolls (assumping my husband & I weren't eating and there was one vegetarian.)
Now I understand why those "dinner party competitions" can be so stressful. Things do go wrong. Recipes didn't go right and I have to improvise. Didn't have time to do my eyeliners and lippy.
I think I'm exaggerating. It was a great afternoon. My cousins are forever getting taller and tanner. They are still silly but I love them.
As Albert pointed out, that was a very rare gathering when all the aunts sit together in the couch. (see photo)
Thanks for being the kind guests you were. Everyone gave me red packets. (That's probably the last time we will get red packets until we have a child.)

Aww the extra people should've given you proper warning. But they can't blame you for if they're still hungry. Looks like everyone had a great time.
Your house looks huge!
