Erm...
I posting this, but please do take note that it's only a suggestion.
Please do let me know too what you think of it.

About the christmas bbq party, i would like your comments on whether you people would be interested in a gift exchange.

The gift exchange is something like the game of secret santa.
If you still dont get it, it goes like this:
.we will be writing the names of everyone who attended the party on small slips of paper.
.then all the little pieces of paper goes into a bag
.from there, each of us will draw out a name each
.keep the name of your reciever a secret
.we can then head out to j8 to buy our mini gifts (budget: maybe around $5?)
.write down the name of your reciever on the plastic bag or something
.then we all meet up again to return to the condo
.we will put all the gifts one side while we play/bbq
.at sometime, we can then appoint someone to give out the gifts, like maybe read out the name on the plastic bag then give out.
.if you want to, you can then let your reciever know who his/her secret santa is

If you still do not understand, I'll try my best to explain it even clearer.
Do let me know if the budget is too high or too low. Thank you.

Please reply at the tagboard. Thank you.
