Merry Christmas!

Christmas was wonderful, we celebrated at my parents' home in Alor Star and Niki really enjoyed the whole "kampung" scene, which came complete with dogs, chickens and the super slow pace of life. We did a lot of eating, and I mean a lot! I can't even believe the amount I ate, 3 main meals and snacks in between, right now I am feeling kinda of overwhelmed by food and I think I'm gonna go lite for the next few days.
Because I am so so in love with the Laksa Lemak in Wah Tua Guan, I even tapau-ed it back so that I can reheat and eat it here once we arrive! And I'm so glad I did, the laksa was marvellous, and I actually can't wait for my next CNY visit! Crazy!
I forgot to bring my phone's adaptor (it's Thai) and I need a special one to make it chargeable in M'sia, so my phone was off the hook for the whole 5 days, which was nice, but I was unable to catch the cutie patootie's photo whilst there. My dad had 2 Christmas trees set up, Niki was constantly pestering him to on it ALL the time be it night or day, and the weather in Alor Star was "M'sian wintery" much like Bangkok with cool breeze during the day & the temperature dips a bit at night and the winds become stronger.
My mom and dad got to spend quality time with Niki which was most important.
Christmas dinner and the service at church was wonderful, Niki really enjoyed the service, and I realized that my little girl has grown up a bit on me, and as usualy bowled everyone with her adorable antics! And I too get to spend time with Niki without work getting in the way, and Niki was super manja..like Amma this Amma that, & kept me really busy :-)
Vicky and I got to a wonderful time too which involved a lot of hands holding & cuddling, and just relax and enjoy the day without having much to do except to get ready to go out for food :-x
