Well...the first of the house-warming...no wait it's more like "open house" parties have ended, and it was...ok lah i suppose. The sad part's probably that a LOT of people couldn't make it...like i had a 40% attendance from the invitations that i sent out, which was already pretty good, but then one of those who said they were coming informed me the day before that she couldn't make it to the party, and another TEN people followed suit on THE DAY ITSELF!!
And those people are...
...Nah i won't name names...but you know who you are!! >.<
A few of them didn't even send me an sms or something to notify me...they just didn't show up! It's not really the lack of people that really hurt though..it was the fact that i expected 25 visitors and catered for 30 (to include family members, etc) but instead, only 14 showed up and the *cough cough* two *cough* hundred *cough* plus dollars that i *cough cough* spent was wasted just like that! And with the recent loss of my iPod, boy is money getting tighter.. :(
Then again, the party was still quite a success! Haha that's because the guests had fun (well, seemed to) and everyone seemed thoroughly impressed with my new home (good clean-up job, everyone!).
Thanks to all who came down...i really appreciate all of you taking the time off to grace my new home! I hope my assumption is right; that you people had fun!But still, for those who missed out: If you didn't go because you had other commitments, or because you had major examinations, etc, coming up, then it's alright; i won't hold it against you. Even if you gave a last minute notice, well...i suppose my notice 1 week prior to the event was pretty last minute as well.
BUT if you didn't go because you simply didn't want to hang out with ol' Greg here...then AT LEAST come down and eat a free dinner the next time i invite you - my treat! Don't feel bad about it...you can just leave right after that! At least i'd feel much better then. Gosh...all that wasted food......
Talking about wastage, i received quite a few gifts of red wine from the visitors (and a bottle of champagne from Goat) and one of the bottles was from Jaclyn and Chinhow which cost like EIGHTY DOLLARS - pretty expensive...and, because almost all of us didn't know how much it cost, we opened the bottle and drank it like it was some cheap $15 wine...and a lot of the guests left half-filled wine glasses on the table which were later cleared away......
...Yikes. 0_o There's another party at my place next week. Let's hope there won't be any WASTAGE anymore!!
