Cin City

The city streets of OZ can be considered bare on Christmas eve’s night even when there’s no snow. Everyone is at home with their families and love ones celebrating the graceful holy night.

I am an Asian and a Buddhist, I don’t have any family members in OZ. It was 2 years ago and then, I thought maybe I should go shopping to buy myself a X’mas gift. But to my surprise, all shops were CLOSED. o.O”

I was at Melbourne and it wasn’t even Christmas day yet but everyone was already feeling cozy and homely. Unlike Malaysia, where Christmas eve’s night means hell on the city roads.

I used to wanna make sure that I make full use of the celebration by squeezing sweat out with the crowd for I-don’t-even-know-what. Fireworks?? -____-

Now that I look back, it is not like I was any happier than this Christmas that I chose to celebrate like a real Christian – with my family.

* * *

I woke up at 7am (so not me on a holiday) for breakfast with my family. (:

@ Ah Xian’s dimsum corner, Puchong.

I personally think that the best amongst ALL is the fish ball.

I chose to dress myself in a white cotton top and short jeans with red fluffy pom pom earrings to set for the Christmas mood.  o^^o

Mummy!!!!! <3 <3 <3

Mummy wasn’t wearing any makeup and they say, me without is just like my mum 20 years ago. Like photocopy. lol!

My daddy and my best friend / brother Eugene in his V neck T screaming “A-ha-ha-ha Staying Alive!”

I only took pictures of more interesting/tasty stuff compared to the rest of the dim sums :

Scallop would be the interesting one, but it does not taste spectacular at all. Not with the gray veins along them!! yuckkkkk…..

This one is delicious; the steaming hot char siew pau and its oozing gravy. *yumsss* Totally swell!

So next time if you ever happened to go there, order the fish balls and paus ok!!!

Straight after breakfast, we adjourned to my aunt’s house at Equine Park where all aunts where there with their children my cousinsss! <3

I gave baby J my Santa hat!

He ngoi leng – checked out his reflection on the shiny black piano to adjust his hat. rofl~

Eeeeee cheekky!!!

I simply chose a plant indoors and treated it as a X’mas tree; arranging the gifts I bought around it. xD

And asked Santa Julian to be my Claus for the day! So cute like mini Prime Minister pulak.

Recorded him on video and learned to use iMovie (FINALLY!) using Disney, my Macbook. Even figured out iDVD simultaneously on how to burn the file into a CD compatible for TV! I’m a genius. =P

Baby J and basically EVERYONE liked it heaps! Below is an edited version (30 seconds) *MUST WATCH!*

Julian was practicing his CNY tune (yes CNY not X’mas). Each time he hits a wrong key, he says “Too baddd!”

Slowly, he started to get engrossed with his own music, and wanted to be a lil’ Jay Chou! So he tried playing the piano without looking.

To see how he does it, watch this! :

Too cute.

Then I showed Julian how to play with Disney’s Photobooth function and we cam whored… XD

HAHAHA *loves*

Back at the kitchen, the Christmas pie is slowly turning golden in the oven:

Small one is for Julian. lol – Mum why you so damn rajin?

My thin slice of apple pie. Awesomesauce!

Julian devouring his own lil’ sweet pie~

Bite size morsels sure do give you finger lickin’ good fun!!

He enjoyed it so much he ran away with it -

And it fell to the ground and broke his heart; just like the pie above… Poor baby.

NOW COMES THE GREATEST PART OF THIS POST :

Guess what this is peeps!

My mum baked a CHOCOLATE SWISS ROLL which looks like this from above :

:O

Front view OMG- :OOOOO

I, myself was amazed by mum’s baking skills. She has improved so so much!

Slicing the ‘log’…

Its a true beauty cuz it is perfect both in and out!

The green thing is actually dessicated coconut in Pandan juice  (natural colouring and flavour) as the “snow on grass” in our Christmas log cake picture.

Now you see it, now you just don’t! LOL

As expected. I was not absolutely surprised that the cake was swept clean off the tray… hahaha! Mum has a backup and I PREFER THIS ONE MORE !!!!!!!!!! :

REAL leaves from the garden as cake deco.

FASTER SAY, NICE OR NOT!!! DD

^o^

Was feeling too full after all that food, pie, and cakes dancin’ in my tummy~

Listened to Jaclyn Q played some Christmas sonata LIVE on her piano :

Ei this picture is serious one, not posing buat-buat macam tengoh play ok~ Haha later you thought that we were just playing cam whore!

Had some awesome cucur udang made of yam + sweet potato stripes + fresh prawns!!! BIG <3

Mum deep fried 2 big ass trays and all went missing! WTF – the combination is too awesome.

Now, it is Gift Time baybeh!

“Something you’ll like but won’t buy, and will spend a LOT of time on“, he says. SO TRUE; KNOWS ME TOO WELL!  xD

Then there’s Eri’s gingerbread girls in my X’mas eve post.

And I bought myself :

A magic eye gel | Shu Eu’s Facial Oil Cleanser | NANETTE LEPORE omg finally!!! | a pink T-shirt

And if you noticed, everything is coincidentally PINKISH! *flashes bimbo eyeslashes*

Magic eye gel is damn expensive I swear but I find it the most effective amongst ALL eye creams I’ve tried before.

There’s even a lock to prevent wastage.

And a fix on rubber nipple to massage the delicate area of your eyes instead of using your fingers.

Well, the real gift I got for myself is not the above but this one below I’ve been waiting for A YEAR to get :

I fell in love with this fler’s scent the moment I smelt it. It is so romantic and refreshing~

Lots of Love to everyone who reads this post. <3
