A Sobers Guide to Christmas Eve & Christmas Day

On Christmas Eve day i headed out to Ashfield with my mummy for yumcha with my uncle and cousin Edmund and Angela (who are the youngest on my mother's side of the family). There were tonnes of families that day for yumcha so we had to wait for a while before they suggested a table that we could have but it was small, but being hungry because most of us skipped out on breakfast we took the table anyways! Good thing was that we were right near the kitchen so when all the hot food came out we got first choice!(Sorry no pictures of our tiny table of packed food!).   

We decided to go Costco to shop for some food for Christmas and all but mum and i made a stop to the city to pick a few things up before heading back to my uncle's place to drop the things there. We were waiting at the door because...my cousin, Edmund couldn't hear the doorbell nor home phone and it so happened my uncle drove cousin Angela to the station! During this waiting time my mum was learning to luvo because she wanted a good picture to use for her watsapp and wechat app's. So i snapped a picture of her luvo-ing~

Look at my mum taking a luvo~ hehe

 After about 10 minutes of waiting my uncle came back we were given fresh cherries to eat before heading out again to Costco. As for my cousin Edmund it was his first time going and he wanted to buy a few things so he could cook at home, since my uncle only cooks Chinese or only takes them out to eat Chinese food, which can get boring.

 After shopping at Costco, it was already 5:30pm so we started heading out to the city since mummy had booked a table for korean bbq! We ate so much that night and it was a good thing that we parked our car a little further away so we could have a small stroll and work the food down (i don't know if that made any sense....?).

During our stroll we were just in time to catch the 9pm Christmas Eve fireworks at the harbor!! It was a short but fantastic show, where i saw many families gathering near the harbor just to get the best view and a few at the bar nearby just clinking their beer cups and enjoying the rest of their nights. With that my Christmas Eve came to an end. 

-Christmas Day-

Today i woke up to a gloomy kind of weather knowing that we were bound to have rain after yesterday's humid hot weather. In the morning, yet again i wasn't able to have any breakfast as i was getting ready to visit my caretaker's when my brother's and i were kids, who have become one of the most important members of our family. We visited them last year on Christmas Day too, and they are super sweet as always, giving us food to eat before going anywhere! Here they made salad with peanut sauce (omgsh so good!!), stir fry noodles (which were amazing!!!), homemade kachang (really enjoyed it!!) and of course my favorite snack, which is this chip made from fruit..skin? I'm not sure of the name but if any of you know what it is called do let me know!!

After our small visit, we were to go to Ashfield for yumcha once again but this time with my mum's friends and one of my aunties, so my cousin's, Anita & Jessica, would be there too. When we got there we were surprised because there were so many unfamiliar faces, except my mum's friened, auntie and cousin's of course. It has been a while since i saw my cousin's and so it was a good time to catch up and all. The other two girls across the table were also related to each other too and they thought i was still in high school~ I think it's because my Christmas fat on my face which is making me look like a huge kid! But anyways after yumcha all the aunties went to the casino (you know it's the happy gathering after all) whereas i headed off to my cousin's place for a short stop before they drove me home, safe and sound! Thank Anita for driving me all the way home!

So as soon as i got home i jumped straight into my comfy PJ's and decided to watch Running Man's Christmas Special episode and it filled my night with laughter's!
