New Year's Eve "Sang Sang Woh Woh"

Overdue hair cut.

Holding our breath as the smell in the barber shop 

is too much to handle.

 Non-stop activities - even on the way home from the haircut.  

New clean cut

All pretty birds in a row to accompany our scrumptious steamboat dinner.

Amazing condiments - sesame sauce, coriander leaves, chili flakes,

fried garlic and fried onions - all super yummy!

The amazing spread contributed by all!

Golden birds

After dinner chit chats...

Girls practicing a Party Rock Anthem number to entertain everyone.

Playing at the park, waiting for New Year countdown

Happy, happy, happy new year ahead to us!

 New Year fire works, a great way to wrap up the year.

A picture of all of us.

What an amazing 2011 it was and an even more amazing 2012 ahead!

Flying High on Christmas Day

Busy evening, Daddy trying to fly the kite that he'd been keeping in his car 

for the longest time. Adik as eager as a beaver when it comes to outdoor activities. 

Ivan (in red) joined us at the park. He did the first cousin 'stay over' with us. 

An attempt to knock down the camera-woman 

so that this shot won't be taken...

Looking good. Wind has arrived to lift off the kite. 

Nice.

How long can it stay up there?

We did it!

The high-flyers. Well done. 

Let's keep this back in the car. At least now we can say we used it... Once!

I can swing really high, you see...

Daddy acting as backdrop

So high I can knock you out! Ha!

Christmas Eve at Ortega's

In preparation for the night... Manicure??!!

Something for the future? :)

All done.

The jolly good time just started. 

With my favourite niece... :)

Surprise birthday celebration for Ben, Meng Fai, Allison, actually, 

it's for anyone born in December.

Kids started to feel excited about opening their Christmas presents.

Like every year, the load of presents is bigger than the tree.

Yummy pies, pastas and potatoes! 

Eh, camera this way, not there. 

Daddy trying to get a wide-angled shot by adjusting his position 

rather than the lense. Haiya. 

Can open now? Now? You sure? 

The usual comment, "I think Abang got more presents than me?" 

Adik's favourite present of all!! She wanted this for months! 

We told her there's no way we can get the lunch bag 

as it's only available online and it's very expensive! 

She was planning to be sad on Christmas day to show her 

disappointment but guess that didn't happen!
