Christmas 2008

Well, another extremely very late update on Christmas 2008.

Christmas tree was up in Nov2008 due to Jeriel’s request but it took Mummy some time to update because all the presents were under the tree without wrapping yet. Until last few days before Christmas also Mummy was still busy wrapping presents. Being Mummy of two kids really took a lot of Mummy’s time out that Mummy missed out some of the children’s gifts.

This was the first Christmas for Ariel. As usual, on Christmas Eve, we had dinner in Tai Pak’s apartment. KongKong and PohPoh also joined us for dinner. This time, PaPa cooked Pasta with Olive Oil and for the first time, it was nice pasta. Besides pasta, we had lamb, chicken, vegetables and also cakes. All the food was home cook by MahMah, Tai Pak, Tai Pak Leong and also Grandaunt Pat. The cakes were baked by Sam Sok. We stayed up till midnight to open presents. Just before midnight, PaPa would play guitar while the rest would sing all the Christmas songs. Yes, Ariel took a short nap and was wide awake on the early morning of the Christmas.


On Christmas day, we went to church. After church, we went home and another present opening session in our apartment.

That night, we had another dinner session in Sam Yee and Sam Yee Cheong’s apartment with KongKong, PohPoh and Yi Yee. PaPa cooked the same Pasta. Yi Yee baked chicken. Sam Yee and Sam Yee Cheong cooked vegetables and made salad. We had jelly as dessert. After that, there was another present opening session again.
