After feeding Tia on Christmas day, I had spent the afternoon having a good ol' typical Aussie barbeque with leftovers at the hall i.e. Indians, various sorts of Asians and the few odd Australians.
This meant Santa would have to come from India and have his sleigh drawn by cows, and we would have to leave lassi and parathas and chapatis instead of milk and cookies this year. But that's okay because at least he still looks like Santa.
I was also very happy for my friend Bhavya who got lucky and received more presents than he had bargained for:
To be honest, Christmas had come so soon it actually caught me by surprise. I'm a little upset at myself for not being able to get all the presents out to friends back home in Malaysia :( I will have to bring them back with me in February when I have my MAJOR HOLIDAY!
I did however manage to send a little something to Italy! :)
Oh, and I snagged myself a Christmas gift this year! Thank you, Samitha!
It's a USB port hub from Smiggle! It is so fun too -- it has a maze with a tiny silver ball in it that you can bring from one end to the other, and this shade of pink is just perfect (for me, at least!). Now I don't have to shuffle my webcam, mouse, external disk, card reader and phone charger between my only two USB ports!! Ultimate joy!
Did you get any lovely (if not entirely odd and dysfunctional) pressies this year?
I am off for a day-trip to Sydney today with Ting, Kevin and Kevin's friend, Jimmy from Melbourne!
I am so excited you wouldn't believe it!!
its a wrap!, xo
PPS: Gosh! These birds outside are singing like a pair of cats mating! I am yet to find out which breed of bird it is!
