Ok .. phew, where do I even start ..

Well went back to Alor Star for our Christmas holidays and stayed until the 28th. We stayed long and we ate all the while whilst we were there. Hey it aren't our fault that AS is a foodie's haven .. and so we did not even have to wear watches and our time there was divided into 4 parts which is breakfast time, lunch time, tea time and dinner time.

Christmas eve was the best, earlier for tea time I managed to catch up with Carol, Grace and (Dr now) Reet my school friends from Convent. It's been years and years since we last saw each other and I say, we haven't actually changed a bit, still as gila as when we were school girls except that we can talk about copulation and made raunchy jokes now without being embarassed .. heeheehee ..We hung in Old Town but time passed really swiftly and before long we had to say our goodbyes, but if all's well we shall meet again come CNY when I go back again to AS.

Later in the evening we had two parties to attend first we hopped off at Dr Rajen's in his mom's Pokok Sena estate, and I when I say estate I mean it's an estate as in the family homestead was huge and the grounds were larger .. Niki was running around without much care in the world.. and played with the "cher-chers" there .. It's amazing what school has done in terms of her social skills and she played and mixed really well even though the kids were much older than her..

Next stop Uncle Jeffrey's *as usual* .. and stayed on for the countdown till Christmas which was marked with a lot of boom and bang from the immense amount of firecrackers that was litted that night .. Most importantly, we were all together for Christmas .. my mom & dad, my sister Daphne and Vicky, Niki and myself .. and I'm really feel blessed that I get to celebrate Christ's birth with those closest to my heart ..

And yeah not to forget my dad got two new pups .. yet to be named coz that's Niki's assignment .. which I may have to remind her .. I thought Gucci and Galliano would be cute .. no?

The rest of our Christmas hols were a blur of eating events .. and yeah I finally managed to try the laksa from Bandaraya as recommended by Ann, another old chum from good ol' Convent .. it was pretty good and it smelt real bad .. just the way I like it :-)
