Sheena, Ramesh and myself.. eating triffles with brandy for dessert.. lovely!

Christmas Eve 2008

On Christmas eve, I went to church with my relatives.. We went to CKK which is at SS13 Subang Jaya. The mass was at 10pm. And by the time it finished, its already 11.25pm. The priest who said the mass was Father OC Lim. He was saying that this will be his last Christmas eve mass in CKK beacuse next year, the whole roster will change.

Me and Valentine aka Ah Boy. He's my closest cousin.

Me. =)

So after the mass finished at 11.25pm. We all headed straight to Aunty Cecilia's house in SS14 Subang Jaya. We had wine for a toss and french bread with pork toppings. Yummy!!

We all ended up playing Blackjack after the wonderful supper.
As usual every year we play. And the bets are super small. We played just for the fun of it.
Its fun to hear laughter and everybody's reaction on what kinda cards they got.

Aunty Cecilia's house is well decorated every year. And this is this year's decoration.

And this was last year's Christmas. It's a real pine tree which Aunty Cecilia got from IKEA. I forgot how much it costs but it hard to take care. Imagine you taking care of it the whole Christmas season and ended up throwing it away. Hahah!

And this was Uncle Alex last year's Christmas decoration.
So pretty! I love the ribbons on the Christmas tree.
If you don't know how to arrange it, it'll surely look messy!
