Of Christmas & Mess...

Tis the season to be jolly...

Fal la la la la la la la la...

Merry Christmas people and I hope you all got what you wanted from "Santa Clause". I think after this Christmas a lot of big stores have to send a huge ass thank you card to Santa for being their number one supporter in these times of difficulty.

Well for me I spent it with another host of mine which does not have wifi in the house which in turns explains the reason I have disappeared from the face of the internet.


Ed's son, Scot brought a friend of his to the party which explains the extra non Caucasians in the pictures...lol...


Apparently these two come in a pair so where ever one goes the other follows. And boy do they deserve to be called a hurricane... Noisy and destructive.

Well kids being kids....


In order to preserve the tradition of keeping the spirit of beliefs in St Nicholas by the kids, the adults had to suffer. We spent the Christmas eve doing everything we can think of from stocking up the socks, eat the cookies & drink the milk, wrapping extra presents from Santa and more decorations in the living room... Man playing Santa is hard job and even harder on the wallet.

So much for thinking "How hard can Santa's job be." Now I know.

This is my first Christmas away from home and I miss home a little but look. My first ever real Christmas tree. This is superb and the tree is great. It is abt 10 feet tall and my god the magic of the Christmas season does come to live with a real tree.

See what I mean by them being called the "Hurricanes"...

It is really nice seeing the little ones getting so many presents and the anticipation of opening them in Christmas eve was simply irresistible.

Well I guess that is all from me this year. I cannot belief I am 2 days away from New York and 6 days away from a whole New Year. It was just like y'day that I was hanging out in Setepak with my college mates, shopping with Ryan in Sg Wang, playing pool with the others and playing DOTA after the new year came in. What a way to waste time of the brand new year.

But now im at least 12 thousand miles away from home ushering the new year with at least 5 million people in the one and only Times Square of New York looking at the ball's dropping event. That's all. Ciowz !
