XMAS 2009

Part One- at Chloe's house :)

i know this is like last 3 months but its worth posting up because..............

the food itself is super kao kao can make you drool.

the people themselves are hilarious/family-ism

sigh, i want to turn back the time.

spent days shopping with opa and oma for xmas presents. (seriously, with so many small cousins you can shop till you drop. sorry wei & kien i dont know what to get for you guys. -but initially wanted to get something for kien (age 17) but he changed his hp number babi without telling me..so..... thats his problem lah)

oh and happy tang yuen festival too! :)

presents for the ahem* older peoples

i forgot to take a picture of my grandparent's present :'( its all handmade by me.

some of the presents.

haha yeah i kind of *cheated, i bought lots of presents from a shop or two only.

you can get brain damage to think about what to buy for each girls.

step 1.

1. is it a present for a boy or girl.

2. girls- go to any shop and see if the present suites the criteria of the recipient. if got no earholes (then cannot buy ear rings.) if got short hair (then cant buy scrunchies, blablabla)

3. boys- ah this one 70% die adi. nothing special/exciting to buy for them. (toys- they have tons of those and not like i can afford to spent RM100 toys for each of the 3 boys in my families, and thats exluding the young and budding ahem men)*har har boys life sucks*

ready to be shipped off :D
