It is over at last. After numerous presents,it is over,and my tree is bare of any pretty presents. It sure has been like Santa’s been….I have recevied presents from people that I have no idea who they are..relatives of Bacon’s relatives.Nothing small mind you,I received a £20 GAP voucher and some £50 odd quid from the same person.And silly bacon has no idea how is that particular person related to him,which made it more like christmas!

With Bacon telling one and all that I like pink,I now have loads of presents in all sorts of glaring pinks.From an ah lien metallic leather purse (which I have returned..:P) to pink piglet scarf to bath robe, I am going on pink withdrawal! And because I asked around for availibility of facials (hello,bride to be here!), I have received a fucking face steamer.Don’t play play ok…a face steamer! Hahahaha.Complete with scrubs and masks ect to allow me to turn into cinderella.

It’s the apres noel sales now,which is totally amazing because most things are at 50% off.Cute christmas boxed sets are all at 50%off…I got myself boxed creams and stuff from Body Shop,went crazy at boots and will be off to Marks and Spencer’s soon.I love this sale…at last I can afford to buy myself some new clothes. Did not get much though,other than the 7 pairs of socks..I never used to wear socks in Malaysia,always preferring to go barefooted.

Anyway…to my fav topic,xmas foods!!

Dinner at the mother-in-law’s


Duck and turkey with all the trimmings

Traditional Christmas Pud with sparklers..yay

We made a gingerbread house…this is Bacon’s geeky side

All puffed out..Bacon is so full that I am able to balance wasabi peas on the ridge of his big fat tummy

And then…Dinner with the father-in-law;ableit in a hotel

Smoked salmon…sibeh good leh.

Bacon’s pink roast beef

My ‘pink’ lamb

And the piece de la resistance…sticky toffee pudding.Looks like shit (literally) but one bite and I’m hooked!

Sorry all for the quality of the pictures…I was with ‘adults’ so I did not want glaring looks at what a crazy loon this new addition to the family was.Oh well,when I am officially in,I will trot around asking everyone to stop eating so I can snap away

How was everyone’s christmas?

Yay!

Its christmas but it’s not white..bah.Rather,the sun’s shining brightly and it looks like a bitterly cold winter’s day outside.And I am happy with my pressies..:).Well,so far.I have only opened Simon’s presents and we’d need to go around to get give and receive presents from other people.And I am seriously getting fat with all the christmas cheer of food and drinks.This is like kwai lou chinese new year,nonstop eating and snacking.

The tree’s looking good

Sorry,no makeup.Don’t shriek!My pooh indoor socks with a 3D pooh head.Heehee.So I won’t have cold feet and stun Bacon in the middle of the night again.

Bacon searching under the tree for pressies

Found!

What did I get?Makeup,clothes,necklace,book on digital photography ,the funky socks and a sweater. Oh! And a mini tripod!
Bacon received a tshirt,Burberry Touch (yum),books,candy and lingerie.As in girl’s lingerie.More like a gift for me..:D

And we both ended up giving each other £60.Which was really strange…he wrote me a card with £60 and I wrote him a card with £60 inside as well.Hahaha!

Off to the in-laws soon…for a long night of boozing and eating and snacking and talking shit.I think.I am just getting fatter and fatter and fatter..

Happy christmas all!
P.S: The two tubes of Colgate glaringly visible under the tree is not a gift for some sod…we bought them for us and just ‘conviniently’ left it under the tree,as it is whitening toothpaste..thought it might just bring the cheer of a white christmas.

I have been a bad, bad girl.

For those of you that thinks that I’ve fallen off the face of the earth,sorry,I’m still alive and kicking.The Bacon’s laptop had beena acting up,and we’ve been trying to connect my laptop via our wireless,but I’ve gotta say that it’s been acting up as well which is driving me totally bonkers. I would fall asleep waiting for the laptop to boot up ,and 3 hours later would awake to the laptop still trying to bootup.

Niasing.

So, still alive and preparing for my first English Christmas.No snow in sight,not good.Wrapped about 40 presents to date…and am really glad that most of my shopping has been done in KL,the prices here are killer. I only had to buy Bacon’s presents here,and not done too bad actually..not going to state what they are, cause Bacon has wisen up and started stalking my blog..

Oh, decorated my first real pine christmas tree as well!!Very nice…I like.It’s actually very different from a real one..towards the top of the tree it’s more ‘botak’ or bald, which means that not many baubles can go on top,it’s more like a pear shaped tree.I’ve piled presents at the bottom of the tree to make it real pretty and all..and I must say,this has gotta be the first christmas where I have actually piled on real presents at the bottom and not wrapped empty Bata shoeboxes! Pressies hooray! I can’t wait for Christmas!

Will be doingg pictures soon…I have been snap-crazy,but just had no access to any computer-like apparatus during the last week,and am now alternatingg between reading my emails and blogging and reading blogs..so many things, so little time arrrrgh

As I am half drunk now and it’s nearly 2am, I will now leave you in peace,and blog again in about another 12 hours

Stay tuned!

Laundry day again…and this time for sheets. Popped them in,and out came paw prints

You see, tetley sleeps on our bed all the time..either our bed or the bed in the spare bedroom.I’ve always hated getting jet back fur on our bed,but bacon always insists that as long as I make the bed and keep it covered,its ok.

Fine.

The sheets are now drying outside.Muddy paw prints all over the sheets are now part of the pattern of my sheets.It will NOT come out!!

As if he knows,the cat is now cuddling up to me as I write this.

Its been ages since I got into one of this ‘I need to clean’ mood…and boy, since yesterday,the mood is really like as if I am on crack and I cannot come down

It all started off with me receiving my wedding confirmation. Bureaucracy at it’s best, I rang yesterday to change the date and my confirmation arrived via post today.Hats off to Leeds Registrar’s office!

In the midst of happy happy joy joy, I popped a load of laundry into the machine..and proceeded to clean the spare bedroom aka laundry room.Deciding that the floor’s getting a little dirty,I started mopping the floor of the room.Not content with one room being clean,I rearranged and vacummed the living lounge whilst waiting for the laundry to finish it’s round.

After hanging up the clothes,I continued vacumming the living lounge..even moving the sofa around to get under it.It’s like as if I’ve gone nutters and that piece of long-forgotten crisp under the sofa was the most important thing in the world.

Then I decided it’s time to water my christmas tree.Afer the poor nordic fir being left outside for two weeks…all around me everyone’s tree is up except me.After struggling with the stupid tree that weighs a ton…

Ah hah!

Not content with the crazy happenings of the day, I started mopping the kitchen as well. After ages spent getting catfood stains out from the kitchen floor and month-old withered beef left on the kitchen floor,my kitchen is sparkling again! Woohoo…

And then I went up to the bedroom to get the cat….which then turned out to be me changing the sheets and then putting another load of laundry into the machine.

Bacon called to tell me that we’re going out for dinner,which means no cooking dinner for me..being so high on housewife duties,I am actually really dissapointed! Oh,never fear, I can still make lunch for him to bring along tomorrow. Joyfulness!

This housewife thing is really getting out of hand..I cannot wait to bring the tree in tomorrow and start decorating.Plus there are still my wedding gifts to wrap to give to guests,cards to design,jewelry to make for myself…..

You know it’s christmas when your cold cuts are shaped into christmas trees!!
