twelve days to christmas

oh yes... another twelve days to go and it'll be christmas.

am counting down to our departure date on 20 Dec... coz we'll be heading back to kuching for a family reunion. it will be mon cherie's 1st trip to mommy's hometown... and her 1st time meeting all her extended family members, her uncles & aunts, cousins and relatives... and even the family pets!

i'm pretty excited about this trip coz it has been almost 2 years since i went home... and ages since i last saw my nephew and nieces. it will be a good reunion this christmas... a big change from when we were younger as now, most of us cousins have become parents with kids in tow! this is going to be really fun... :)

but of course, before any indulgence... there is usually some sacrifices to be made.
for me (oft-times self-professed mad maid), this is a race against time... as i need to make sure i complete the checklist of "THINGS MUST DO" (read: not "TO DO") before we depart in one week's time! just hope i can get MOST of them checked off in time.

and just thinking about them makes my headspin already.... GAH!!
