Christmas this year was the same as previous years. We attended Christmas eve mass at CDM. Although mass only started at 10.30pm, we left the house at 9pm and even at this hour, the church was already fully packed. Luckily, J's parents were there earlier to secure us places at the pew. So we arrived just in time for carolling before mass started.



Christmas is and should be about celebration of the birth of Jesus and a time of reflection. Nevertheless, trust us Malaysians to infuse the Christmas mood with lots of food! After mass, we headed back to the house for Eurasian pie, the BAU fare for Christmas eve meal. J's parents made 2 pies, one for Christmas eve and the other to be savoured on Christmas morning for breakkie.

Christmas day also saw a gathering of extended family members at my house. What was supposed to be a small gathering of less than 20 people very soon doubled up! Eeks, in my small small house. You can just imagine the amount of noise we made.


Still awaiting satay to arrive

So the festivities will continue to be enjoyed with much more food. My almost 3 weeks break from work is almost coming to an end. Am both excited at the prospect of joining a new company but also dread having to work after such a lovely time at home.

P/S : Photos to be uploaded later. Now, where did I place that darn camera cable? Sigh.

Finally some pictures

I am now enjoying my pre-Christmas leave/serving notice of my resignation from Choc company and will be on leave till January 2010. Yay! A much needed break I tell you. And since I am somewhat stranded at home, what better way to spend the day by pampering myself with home DIY facial and foot spa! I like! Hehe.

My face is now covered with mask from Taiwan which my sis helped buy. Think this one is called Black Pearl. According to the website, it is supposed to help whiten and moisturise your face. Let's see if it really works! But even if doesn't, the cool mask on my face feels just good as it is.



After this I will pamper my feet with a much needed scrub and moisturiser/cream before painting my toe nails bright red in line with the Christmas season's royal colour. Something along the colour on the left. Nice, right? :)
