Troll-lol-lol-ing

As I said before I was forced to drive around houses to go caroling, and that was yesterday. I went in a group of ten people. There was a pastor to talk about Jesus, and two people to play guitars, and the rest singing. Oh, and there was a angel to 'spread the good news' and proclaim the birth of Jesus. Unfortunately, that job was given to me.

At 6pm I arrived at the church, with everyone jamming on guitars, which wasn't good for my ears.

Then we poor carolers set out to the first house (while the Bed Intruder song was on repeat), and had a family of grandparents, parents and kids over for Christmas Eve dinner. We sung in the cramped (and very warm) lounge room, and we were given presents (ie generic box of chocolates), pandan cake and juice upon completion of singing.

The next house had lots of bottles of Guinness lying around and a person called Doris who I somewhat didn't know. And after completion of singing, we got dinner, which had to be rather quick since we had to dash to the next house.

So I didn't really eat my share, and my hands were still rather sticky from handling some eggs while I was gripping the steering wheel. Poor pastor got lost on the way and started going around circles in Forest Lakes. Even with me knowing the area very well, I still followed the pastor around in his car like a lost sheep and I wanted to yell at him for going the wrong way. But that wasn't the worse.

When we got on to Roe Highway (finally) the pastor took a wrong turn and continued on to the freeway, while I missed a turn and drove to the airport instead*. The car containing the boys however had my brother in it, aka the family GPS. So they got to the next house ages before me or pastor got there.

So after we finished the caroling session, which was at Jon's place by the way, we didn't get any presents, but we got Jon leading a mini worship session and us singing Yahweh and Came to My Rescue like the good old times at youth. After that however, we played Jon's favorite game, which was Taboo.

You can tell Jon loves this game, because he keeps on quoting his two unfortunate friends, Derek and Frame, and how they make a great team together. He loves to quote Frame especially, because of his rather incomplete English vocabulary and one of his attempts to describe the word 'Transformers' (which went something like this: 'Movie! Movie! You watch it!').

But when you play Taboo with Derek, Frame, and Jon, you know you have a great team, because the three combined are bound to say something ridiculous such as:

FL: It's a movie...you got...
Jon: LAID!

After some people had to leave, I stayed to watch people chat about HTC Desires and P plates, and then I went home.

*No seriously, there are three very confusing roundabouts on the turnoff from Karel Avenue. If you tell me to drive to Jon's house I will probably turn to the airport instead. I bet if you let James May loose there he will never ever get out for eternity.
