SteemXP Christmas Gathering in Kokol Hill Sabah (Part 2)

Hello Steemians,
My trip to Kokol Hill from my previous post here, the few of us from @steemxp community had a Christmas gathering at the evening hours till late night with a nice sunset view and a breezy cold weather.

What are the programs

We stayed overnight at this nice comfort Villaku Boutique Homestay which includes dinner and the next morning breakfast, BBQ session, wine, games for kids and even adults and last but not least we also prepared gifts for exchanging and gambling at late night hours.

Some brought kids and some brought their families including I myself brought my mom and my junior. We all had fun, lot of laughters and also served with some nice foods as well. Thanks to @kilathecla for your homemade cupcakes and mooncakes. Even you can’t join us on that night but your spirit and support are always with us! Big applause to you!

@veenang and @danieldoughty are preparing for the BBQ. As our @steemxp founder said he’s the expertise of fire starter but I don’t understand what take him so long to get the charcoal burn.. 😆

@beverlyjoe and the others take turn for the BBQ preparation

After Sunset

Beautiful sunset over the city

We also have our steemian who drove all the way from the city just to meet us for the gathering, dine together and also joined our games activity only. Unfortunately he missed the best sunset moment but no worry bro, there will be some day we gather together again. He’s our newbie, @robmojo. An applause to him and his wife. A nice friendly and sporting steemian. Hope to see you soon bro!

After sunset hour, we all are getting ready for dinner before going further with other activities. I believe everyone are hungry after spending our time together in the whole afternoon.

inside area where is all the dining tables and chairs were set

There are some foods prepared by the homestay owner and beside that we also have BBQs such as sausages, chicken wings and lamb chops.

The foods were delicious (as I can say) but to be honest, foods are not the priority to all of us but the gathering is priceless!

After Dinner

Is Game Time! This is the best part in the whole evening! The games were prepared by few of our @steemxp members. The games are not only for the kids but all the adults must involve too! Be Sporting!!

We starts the game for kids first and adults come later. There are 3 games for the kids and another 3 for the adults.

The 1st game for kids - Stepping Balloons! Here’s the rules, each balloon with tied at the ankle on every kids. Whoever’s balloon has been stepped and blown, then is the end!

The 2nd game - Standing on Newspaper! The game rules are; firstly find a partner and start stepping on the newspaper. Then the newspaper will be folded smaller and smaller and see who (2 person) can step inside the paper will be the winner.

The 3rd game - Musical Chairs! By playing this game which involved chairs and music. Once music stops, every player must sit on a chair. Whoever failed to sit will be eliminated. Each chair will be removed after the music stops.

Here comes to the adult games! What I can say is funny & hilarious!

The 1st game is for guys to participate. Here it goes, Cookies Eater! Sounds easy right? If you say about eating cookies, yes of course BUT* without using your hand! Here’s the rules, each cookie must start from your forehead means the cookie must put on the forehead and bring it down through our face and eat it. I can’t even eat 1 but surprisingly our @steem-ambassador @veenang managed to eat 3. He’s amazing! 👏🏻👏🏻

You may watch the @dtube video from @viverridae Here You gonna laugh like hell! 😂😂

The 2nd game for the ladies which we as guys have to get involved too! This is simple (I guessed so) because what we need to do is to makeup for the lady from what they have on the table in 5 minutes.

The 3rd and the last game on the evening - this is most craziest and hilarious among other games. So what is that? Now is the other way round, the lady do the makeup for the guys! 🤦🏻‍♂️
The time limit is 5 minutes see who can be the prettiest and qualified as a lady boy. Here goes the winner is @danieldoughty 😂😂 and congratulation to @viverridae too for doing the makeup for him. 🤣🤣 Bro, you are qualified as a ladyboy 🙈🙊
