Last Christmas 2010

Apple — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 13:49:52 +0000

Hello readers!! I miss all of you! It’s sort of late to mention about how I spent my last Christmas. But who cares? It’s my blog, I can write anything I wish. For the sake of record, here is how I spent my Christmas last December.

Almost every year the Christmas tree decoration at my house is more or less the same (red + blue theme).

This look so holy. The beliefs are for the family. By the way, I’m agnostic and open-minded.

Here are some decorations around the house.

This was found at the door of Cherry‘s bedroom.

During Christmas eve, everything had been setup and ready for the next day buffet-style open house.

There was an open house session during Christmas day. Relatives and friends were invited to join the event.

This is the dish that everyone had been anticipating.

Oh, that was Dad’s fingers *peace* ^.^V

Take a good look at this turkey. Must be the most expensive food on the table.

Bread to be served with the turkey.

2 kind of dressings for the turkey.

Sweet and sour salad.

Mixed veggies.

Chicken curry.

Rendang chicken.

I don’t recall what this is. It looks like chicken, yet another flavor.

Biryani rice.

Besides, there were some candies available as door gift for kids (or even adults).

Cookies and snacks of different pattern were served as well.

Orange flavored cookies.

Cheese cookies.

I personally love to eat this very much because of its mint flavor. (yes, I love mint!)

Cookies with pineapple fillings.

After all the eating, it was time for presents!

How excited! My sis and bro were busy opening presents!

Cherry bought me some very cute stuff here. A kitty plushie!!

Kitty band!!

Cherry knows me damn well. I’m a cat lover!

The apple accessories were presents from my step.

So this was how I spent my last Christmas.

I feel kinda terrible for blogging about it after the event is over for more than half year already! Well, hope next Christmas, I will not delay as long as 8 months after Christmas!!

P/S: This post was initially created in draft for months!

I have taken some photos on Christmas theme, yet I’ll just share a few here. I will be uploading the rest to Facebook. So stay tune ^^

Merry Christmas and happy holidays, everyone! Did you hang out with friends to count down during Christmas eve? For those that are still waiting for Christmas arrival, will you join any count down event?

Christmas is here and hope that you enjoy yourselves during the holiday.

I didn’t join any count down, just went to have a drink with Orange (will reveal this in the future post). To get the Christmas feel, we went to tHe Spring shopping mall last week, to snap some photos.

Big Christmas tree.

A self portrait in front of that Christmas tree.

Orange concentrated on taking photos. He hadn’t use his camera since a long time. So I “forced” him to join the fun of snapping photos with me.

There’s a “Christmas Bazaar” selling all kinds of Christmas goodies.

Nice lighting decoration, but I had no idea how to capture a better picture of it.

There are several “igloos” booth for merchants to display and sell what they have to offer.

A “talking” Santa.

One of the most attractive booth – The Gingerbread House.

Very cute Christmas theme cakes.

These are cute too.

Orders must be placed to have cakes like this.

How can Gingerbread House miss out the Gingerbreadman?

They really know how to attract the eye.

Beautiful cupcakes.

Orange was doing a great job here. He thought quite a lot of nice photos here.

Penguin dolls from Igloo – an ice dessert merchant.

Some items which are ideal for a Christmas present.

Nice dolls, but don’t think I need any of these.

I don’t know what’s this. I think it’s a booth for you do create DIY cards or something..

Haha, here’s my boy again.

Nice castle decoration. People love to take photos here.

Some Christmas decoration for sale from Parkson.

Colorful balls.

A view at Food Bazaar.

After walking around, we decided to have some food. At last we ended up in Sugarban restaurant.

I was having fried macaroni. Taste great.

Orange was having asam fish head with rice.

My sinful act – eating ice cream. I had not eaten ice cream for many months!

He looks like a small kid

Other than going to tHe Spring to snap photos (for blogging purposes), there’s no special celebration for us. But later this afternoon, we will have lunch at my house. There’s some sort of Christmas open house event.

How are you going to celebrate Christmas?

What does Christmas mean to you?

Stay tune.

My Christmas Present in 2008

Apple — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 00:56:15 +0000

The economy is bad, but still, you have to give presents during certain occasion. I spent quite some bucks this month (check out what I bought for others), which is also end of the year 2008. Imagine how many remaining days I have to wait for my payslip!! It’ll be 1st January 2009 soon..means, we ought to wait maybe for another few more days before pay day??

Last year, I got myself a Sony T2 – the most expensive gift i ever gave to myself. This year, I thought I could afford to get a new machine, but just as expected, I couldn’t. But still, I bought something for myself this Christmas.

Now, here are some new Kuma-Kuma members!! The one on the left (look more yellowish) is a voice recorder. The tiniest one is actually a cellphone hanger. Cherry loves to play with it and keep on saying “It’s fat and cute”.

I also bought a cloth and some girls accessories just in time to celebrate Orange‘s birthday and Christmas.

Orange bought me a DVD known as 杂菜饭 Za Cai Fan (Mixed Vege Rice). It’s a experimental comedy by Malaysians. Will talk about this some time later. Thanks Orange. I had a hard laugh after watching it.

Cherry bought me an elegant necklace. Thanks, sis. I love it.

And something from the parents – clothes.

Dad bought me a jacket from Bosini. Thanks, it’s one of the things which I need. It’s cozy. Look at this little guy which is printed on the jacket! So cute.

And, step mom bought me a black shirt.

So, those are what I get for Christmas. How about you?? Bought anything wonderful for yourself?

p/s: I have forgotten about having a fitness equipment like the hips shaker (gained some weight lately, thanks to the flexible lunch time at work) or something as my wishlist!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! Any one miss me? I’ve been quite busy lately. Time is running out, and I want to apologize to all my blogger friends as I’m not able to visit your blogs one by one to wish you happy holidays. I don’t even have enough time for the “Feel the Christmas” thing. This year, I just manage to take a few, check out from my Facebook photo album.

That’s the Christmas tree at home. See the presents below the tree? That’s for the family members. Speaking about Christmas present, this year I spent quite a lot to do the last minute Christmas present shopping from the Christmas sale near my work place.

This was what I gave to Orange. An orange paper bag… (did you see Shia LaBeouf?? )

Filled with junkies… why? Because when Orange is too concentrate on something, he can skip meals even if he is hungry.

And this is what I gave to Cherry.

Hope she likes what I gave her…. a bunny handphone seater.

Lastly I also gave Lee Chien a Christmas gift!! I went to her working place last night (Christmas eve) and gave her this…I think it should be a surprise for her (The blue dolphin stick over there is her present.)

She loves dolphin and I hope she love this as well – a dolphin massager. A close up look…so cute ^^

The next post, I’m going to share the Christmas presents I received.

Merry Christmas, every one.

Christmas Carol

Apple — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 17:55:15 +0000

This is something very new to my family and I. This is the first Christmas carol ever performed in my house. I’m a free thinker though my parents have recently turned themselves in Christianity. On the 21st evening, the church people came to my house, all in red and wore santa hat. There were around 40 of them, and just imagine how many times I had to greet them with a handshake and “Merry Christmas”.

The most attractive part is this: the musicians! If you know me well, you should know that I can’t resist those who know how to play musical instruments.

See how cool is this violinist. I was searching for the violin’s sound, because this guy stand at the very end. lol

Okay, I have recorded a very short clip here. They only performed 3 songs, and this is one of the songs - Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer.

How was it? LOL, shaky hands with the camera (its Dad’s).
