Christmas 2007

Very long overdue….will writes a summary of the whole event as short as possible….

24 Dec 2007
On Christmas even 24 Dec 2007, we gathered in Tai Pak’s apartment for dinner. KongKong, PohPoh and Yi Yee also joined us. Late evening, there was power failure.



PaPa was busy carrying the food to Tai Pak’s apartment which was located just upstairs while Jeriel was having fun walking up and down with his cousin Topaz.

Since everyone was hungry and electricity was not back up, we decided to have candle light dinner.


Besides bringing fruits, PaPa cooked Pasta Carbonara this time and it was his 2nd attempt. PaPa’s 1st attempt was a few days before Christmas and it was Mummy and Jeriel who had the honor to try. Everyone compliment that PaPa’s Carbonara was great. It is delicious and also ‘sinful’..he he..

Then everyone was having fun chit chatting. Jeriel was having fun with Topaz. PaPa was tuning his guitar for caroling session while the 2 boys also busy with their own guitars (sorry photo quite dark).




This went on until midnight where opening present session.




25 Dec 2007
On Christmas Day, we had lunch with church friend who had a boy whom Jeriel had been playing since baby. We ate in IKEA and did our grocery together in Tesco.

At night, Sam Yee Cheong cooked for all us at Sam Yee Cheong and Sam Yee’s apartment which also located just upstairs of our apartment. It was a nice dinner.





After that, we had another opening present session.




How about Christmas Church service? It was held on Sunday 23 December 2007 in Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil. Jeriel had his mini party over there while PaPa and Mummy attended the service. Mummy got the chance to see PaPa’s hard work on training the kids in the kids’ production (drama, dance and sing, all by kids) that morning. That night, we went and see adult drama. PaPa and Mummy used to be on the stage yearly but had stopped especially Mummy since Jeriel was born.
