Christmas lunch: Why I was bursting at the seams

Who am I...?

An ex-journo and former techno phobe from Singapore living in Tokyo, I worked in print media for six years until I moved countries in 2006 and used the Internet as a way to have a viable, mobile career. Now, I'm a blogger on the go who runs an online beauty biz from wherever I might be. I never thought I would ever morph into a web chick - but here I am.

This blog is about...

...The ups and downs of expat life, trailing partner issues, food, travel, and Japanese culture. It's a way to keep in touch with friends back home and all over the world, plus it's a corner for me to showcase my work. But really, I'm just a restless spirit looking for great adventures and fabulous food.

Christmas lunch: Why I was bursting at the seams

I always feel quite honoured to be apart of the kangaroo clan’s Christmas celebrations. The camaraderie and the family dynamics are always fun to watch and participate in.

This year, it was quite a small gathering as both the kangaroo’s brothers and partners weren’t around because they were at their in-laws’.

The food was gorgeous as usual and we ate far too much. The kangaroo’s nieces were beside themselves with excitement, and I must say, it was infectious. Christmas is just about hanging out with the family, eating and drinking all day, and just being happy — just lovely. Oh, there were the biggest guinea pigs involved, too.

Hi. Stumpled on your site …The food looks delicious in the pics. The guy on the sofa looks well stuffed (as in satisfied). All the best.

Thanks for surfing by. The food tasted better than it looked, esp the seafood platter. Gotta love Aussie Xmas lunches – very summery…
