Christmas 2009

This year's Christmas has not been magical but it is memorable nevertheless. Walking down the memory lane, I remember that I used to celebrate it several good friends and we never fail to enjoy each others' company. It is pretty sad to say that as Time goes by, the bond seems to thin but still, all is good.

Ahh..Christmas, the jolly time of the year when Day is at its brightest at night. How many times have I mentioned that I love the idea of Christmas (Though, I still think Christmas is by far the most expensive festival around the world)?

I do not know if I've got the infection from friends but seemingly the virus has spread in me that in the recent years, I just enjoy going about to view the Christmas decoration.

KLCC & its Gingerbread Tales....

Sg. Wang & its White Storks

Times Square & its Giant Tree

Mid Valley & its Hogwarts-style Christmas

Gardens & its White Christmas

Finally Sakae Sushi & its (Reindeer) Snowman

He is not Frosty...He is MashiMellow the Snowman (who got its antennae from E.T)

I didn't manage to go to Pavillion on Christmas Eve as I considered myself too old to get involved in the foam spray madness across the road. It was fun and it definitely is when I am in the mood. But somehow, after the Sherlock movie, I guess I was too enthralled by the Victorian setting and its beautiful soundtrack (honestly the strings had gave the movie such life that I fell so deeply in love with the plots! But of course, we have to thank that to magnificent acting of Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law...they are just SO CUTE!!).

So, yeap, that was what made me so reluctant to wade through the youngsters and get involved in the foam business. Others agreed with me (they just have to!) and so we decided to just enjoy ourselves at Starbucks. They have been really nice to accompany me while I was waiting for WR. Thank you.

Christmas Eve had been lovely while Christmas Day was delicious. RR and I went for a Christmas late lunch at Malones and the Irish Stew was so good. It would be superb if it is warm (sad to say that food in restaurant/cafe can't maintain their warmth for long).
We had Turkey in Cranberries sauce too and gosh, by the end of the meal, we were an inch fatter.

We could have ordered wine but decided that we should try this:

RR strongly recommended Ben & Jerry's and told me that it is the best seller in Singapore (and of course, USA). He was pretty suprised that it wasn't brought into Malaysia's market until this very day and even more so, B&J only found its way to Cold Storage.

Oh well...since this is Malaysia market, I am not suprise.

So, there goes my quiet but lovely Christmas Day...I am now anticipating my New Year Eve.

Merry Christmas people!


A special thank you (& huggies) goes to WR for the thoughtful present, RR for the delicious meal, SA for the plan, KW for the gay-bar jokes, KF for the ride & FKK for the countdown plan.
