we went to carmelite church this morning for the 8am christmas mass.
it was still drizzling slightly - as with most mornings here in kuching.
oh what a wet christmas...
while waiting for the mass to begin, mommy realized that there were plenty of babies & toddlers and lost count after the 10th passed us by. i think behind our row, there were at least 2! too bad we can't take photos in church, not nice bah... :D
i was very participative this morning (read: noisy) especially during the hymns and gospel reading. grandpa said i was trying to overtake the gospel reading as the priest was very slow in his speech! ahahaha.... then when he was giving the homily, i was again trying to overtake him with my non-stop gibberish... daddy had to bring me out a few times as i was clearly disturbing the other congregation while also getting the other 2 babies behind me to join in! heeheeheee...
after mass, we went for a quick breakfast and mommy again had her share of the local noodle - kolo mee. this stall sells the 'special' (with more ingredients as the basic kolo mee came with only a few slides of char siew pork)
i had a taste of the noodle as well and i really enjoyed it! and i was sharing mommy's portion while made her almost ordered a second bowl when daddy said it's better she control her diet... kekekeke...
when we got home, the exciting part of the day is about to begin... time for opening of presents on christmas morning! can you see my present from brian 二舅 and amy 二婶 in front of the tree?
here's me DEMANDING we start the presents opening ceremony immediately!! see how persistant i am till my mouth is slanted! ahahahaa....
mommy helped me unwrapped my present and this is what i got!
chloe: "see, my new dress from brian 二舅 and amy 二婶. i like it very much, thank you!! :)"
lunch is at uncle timothy's place - i was scared by the crowd there and cried a few times, daddy had to carry me away from them for a few times. after i finally calmed down, daddy got a chance to have lunch while mommy took over.
here's me, mommy and joanna 姑婆. she is mommy's godma and that makes her my god-grandma! :)
mommy didn't take other photos as she was busy catching up with the other 姑婆, her cousins, etc and daddy was in-charge of ensuring i have enough to eat... which i did - almost 7 thin pieces of cakes!!! i think i overdosed on the cake lapis, horlick cake and even fruitcake!!! all handmade so they were extremely delicious! and i even tried a tiny bit of the keropok (fried fish cake cracker) that were flowing abundantly around. i guess i'm extremely adventurous with new food when i'm 'stressed' in a new environment! ahahhaa...
after lunch, we went back to brian 二舅's place for a nap - since uncle timothy's place is nearby.
while preparing for my afternoon nap, i HAD to ensure i keep my shoes away - into mommy's carry-all! :D
chloe: "must keep my shoes properly, else i will lose it again!"
we had another gathering tonight at Felix 舅公's place with uncle brandon preparing most of the food - roast lamb, turkey, mashed potatoes, mee siam, mixed veges, acar-acar, and curry chicken cooked by one of the family friend. it was delicious and i enjoyed the mashed potatoes the most! :)
it was another round of merry making and rowdy gathering of the SIM family clan & relatives. and mommy was busy mingling around that we didn't take any photos tonite.
