HAPPY CHANUKAH, to one and all!! I know it's been so long since I wrote, but that just makes this entry so much more fulfilling! So to back-track, last week I had tooth surgery and it was a huge success! Pain-free, 2 hours from start to finish, and I now have a new strong tooth to show for it, yay! (I also got the hook-up to teach my ortho's kids English once a week!) In other news, Lee and I officially booked our Chinese New Year's trip to one of the most beautiful islands in the world, Boracay, in the Philippines! Whooo! More recently, this weekend was INSANE - Friday night hosted a new club opening here and it was by far the most lavish club I've ever been to! Huuuuge, on the 7th floor of a building and dress-code enforced; amazing hip-hop; a big bar and tons of private tables with lush couches and a slammin' dance floor! This is obviously where I spent most of the night, except when the hired hoochies took centre stage and shook up a storm in their undies!! This was also the first night of Chanukah here and Lee and I are currently without a menorrah until Monday, so I bought tea lights and we have been lighting them every night! Lee left the club early due to an allergy attack, I stayed until 2am because I had to get up the next morning bright and early to teach at a school half an hour away. I didn't get to bed until after 3, making the next day unbearable. I was so exhausted and grouchy that everything just HAD to go wrong - missing the bus in the rain, spending money on a cab, taking 2 buses home in more rain, only to teach again! But it was the funnest hour and the kids put a huge smile back on my face so it was worth it :o) Then Saturday night a bunch of us went to my friend Neil's restaurant, where he was hosting a wine-n-chocolate party! I KNOW!! Truffles, truffles and more truffles, all to be enjoyed while some co-teachers sang tunes on their guitar all night - it was great! Today was a wonderful RAINLESS day, full of grocery $hopping, baking-goods $hopping and presents $hopping! And I MADE LATKES!!! For the first time ever, and they were PERFECT if I do say so myself! Complete with apple sauce, I'm quite proud :o) We bought a gingerbread kit to make one on Christmas, and I have all the ingredients necessary to start baking up a storm! All this week I have Christmas parties in every class, and on Friday I have to be Santa! They pick the little, Jewish girl to play Santa Claus at school, can you believe it!? What can I say, I love the holidays! I have attached 3 pictures, one from the club, one of a cute little boy who was helping serve beer at Neil's restaurant, and one of Lee and I because a few people wanted to see me with straight hair... enjoy!
