The office Christmas party.

It’s usually the event of the year where everyone look forward to it, mainly because of the big and exciting prizes that we have in store. This year, it’s a little different. The rules have changes, the prizes no more and a lot of people went on leave!

Still, it’s one of those events where EVERYONE would gamely dressed up to the theme. It’s my 4th Christmas party in the company, and the previous themes were pink christmas (I was in committee), blingz, back to school and this year.. It was fashion disaster.

And I thought I was quite a fashion disaster wearing leopard prints, polka dots and stripes all mashed up. This is my ‘gear’ for the party. Striped top, polka dot skirt, polka dot leggings, and leopard preens prints wellies.

Well, as it turn out, my outfit is kinda…. Mild.

When I say they gamely dress up, I think it’s and understatement. They go all out!

There were a lot more ridiculous ones but I didn’t manage to capture everyone on my phone. It was hilarious. There were luminous green see-through stockings with leg hairs sticking out/squashed in, raffia strings being worn as suspenders, bright ankle socks with mary janes, track pants pulled up to the chest with business shirt and ties, big spectacles, kitchen clogs, leg warmers and huge ribbons/flowers accessories in all the inappropriate areas.

The games were the usual scavenger hunt (the game that caused me to sprain my heels while I jumped down flights of stairs in my wellies to grab/buy 8 cans of coke light while everyone else took the lift), snatch a Christmas present (this was a little dry/slow) and there was the usual buffet where I didn’t munch on much and the highlight had to be the awards that were being given away. Prior to the party, there were nominations and voting going around the office. Awards like most long-winded award, most talk cork awards, most sexy butt, and best office couple. The 2 guys were the ‘couple’ and they are both incidentally named Nick.

The party was much longer and wasn’t as fun as previous years.. or maybe the excitement from winning big prizes from the previous years drove the adrenaline up several notches. Still, it’s another Christmas gone by in the green camp for me. I can’t quite believe I have been around for that long!

Did your office have a Christmas party as crazy as mine?

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
