Christmas 2009 in KL
This year’s Christmas is a bit special as it was not celebrated in Ipoh, but in Rosemary’s house in KL. Every year after her marriage, she would be spending Christmas in SG as her husband’s father is there. But this year, she’s in labour and she insisted in hosting Christmas at her place.
I reached KL on Christmas Eve after almost being late for my flight… I reached in the evening and at that time, everyone is already in Rosemary’s place. We went out for church and then to a seafood dinner nearby. Yin Sin came to my sister’s place shortly after I went to church and joined us for dinner. Of course, the Christmas celebration tradition begins with a glass of wine and my mother’s delicious fruit cake when the clock almost strikes midnight.
Rosemary and Grace prepared most of the food. As I stayed at my 2nd sister’s place, we helped by picking up the turkey from the store. As you can see, there are a variety of food that my sister prepared… Yummy-licious!
Okay, then my family camwhored a bit there.
With one pair of sunglasses, it looks different on different faces
Even my mum looks hip!
Okay… back to the Christmas… There are so many presents this year! Maybe because there isn’t space under the tree and everything have to be scattered around.
There’s one stash near the Christmas tree. But there isn’t enough space there, so there’s another stash of presents behind the door.
It’s all in plastic bags cause it’s all from all over – SG, Indonesia, UK, Ipoh, Australia…
We opened the presents earlier this year as there was no point waiting for it to be opened at night. We opened it in the afternoon!
Again, Yin Sin joined us this year with lots of presents in her hands… She bought individual presents for almost everyone too.
And the kids have extra ornaments to be worn this year…
Emphasis is more on the kids this year as most of the presents there belongs to Marielle. Then the themes for this year are err..
Snake skin products from my brothers to almost everyone,
Thermos Flask that I bought for Yin Sin that everybody laughed at…. hahah
I bought her a handbag already but was too big to be wrapped and bought a thermos instead. It’s damn useful okay…
Some lingerie…
A bicycle…
Makeup Kits
Okay, I didn’t take a lot of pictures this year.. Too crammed up with kids running around and blocking my line of sight… and the lighting was very bad.
Nevertheless, everyone was happy and most importantly, time spent with the family. The next day, we headed back to Ipoh to just chill out and eat Ipoh food!
