X-mas in SSH

Wow, what a night.

I got into my black dress, which Tamara had brought me and decided to wear my nice sandals which I had bought in Barbados earlier this year. I was meeting Miki, Victoria, Nader and Erin @ Camel to have diner together. I didn't know that there would be a party later @ the Camel Bar but it sounded great to me, when I was told.

For diner I had Veal Ossobucco with Mashed Potatoes and that was really good. The meat was so soft, delicious. But still, it's not my dad's turkey, the vegetable, potatoes, the x-mas cake and the Rote Grütze.

I don't know what time it was but we then moved from the restaurant to the bar. I didn't get anything to drink first and we just had a chat and were watching how the place started to fill up. Akram, the manager of the Camel Bar told us that they had given out 750 invitations. Akram is really very nice, he is actually a sort of a twin brother as he was born the exact same day as me. He invited Miki and myself to a shot, Tequilla. Here I have to say, that since my B-Day on October 3rd I didn't have any alcohol. That definitely changed yesterday. I had 1 Tequilla, 3 Sambucca (have no idea how to spell this) and two cocktails, Woo-Woo, with Shnaps and Vodka. It was actually delicious and surprisingly I wasn't drunk at all. Well Miki told me that I didn't walk completely straight but this was because of the shoes. For New Years it will be Ballerinas!

I got a present from Miki and Victoria, eventhough Miki had told me earlier in the day that he wouldn't do presents. I have to admit I was a little sentimental and I realised that I would not be able to do this Embassy thing because I would miss home toooooo much. Being away from home, on your own, that is just not what I want. Here in SSH I have family, so I am not alone.

At midnight I was allowed to open the present and it was a perfum. One I actually have, that I love and that is almost finished. Well you know me, sensitive and all this stuff, I started crying. I was so happy and still so homesick. But Victoria and Miki were really very cute and I have to say that I don't know how I deserve them.

I wish you all a very nice x-mas day.

And a very Happy Birthday to my mum!!!! I miss you!!!

I will definitely be back on the blog for New Years Eve as my two girls Josy and Denise are coming. Girls get ready to have some shots ;-)
