CHIRS HOLIDAY PARTY 2023

Happy holidays! And much heartfelt thanks to BIST and CHIRS for organizing a lovely evening for our community. Was a bit sad to see no family/friend join me, but well you can’t ask for a lot. Happy to be alive and kicking. Had a fairly busy day, that started with a lunch visit to DT to meet an ex-work colleague and good friend Karan near his work place. Luckily, I happened to bump into another old friend – Michael Lewis (ex-TD) who happened to have just returned from Barabados. Post lunch, I felt like I still had some gas in my tank, and time on my hand, to make a quick run to SMH to grab my medical rec ords, that I intended to share with my PHD contact person who I was helping in understanding “Life as an ABI”. Felt good. Came back home, to pick the girls. Dropped them with my F.I.L and happily went off to the Holiday party place. Songs were sung by Dave from CHIRS (with his guitar) and the crowd has songs pre-written to assist with our participation. Foood was good – loads of Italian stuff. Plus cake to end it all. We then ended the party with a raffle to let everyone go to the gift table and pick whatever they wanted to choose, and was available! I got myself a golf shirt, and was later gifted by my friend Alex, another pair of shirts. I hung out with Diallo and Rosanne and my brain-twin JEN (pic attached).
