Fairly longish post today.. blogging stuff that happened from Christmas Eve till today the 28th so bear with me.. Went down to Dumfries on Christmas Eve on the train with Auntie Mary (My cousin's mother-in-law).. Grandpa was already at the house waiting for us...
The Tree at Auntie Valerie's house
Christma Eve candle light service
Christmas Eve party at Sue's house (Kiera - the dog remember?) well nvm.. practically didn know anyone there.. was just talking to random ppl all night... oh Sue was housing 4 ppl from NZ and they were these huge rugby guys.. check out the guy at the back dancing with my Auntie..
My birthday cake*
The ginormous turkey that could have fed an army.. Auntie Valerie and Uncle Robert will be having turkey everything for months to come..
Table all set for Christmas dinner
Right.. to Princess.. my birthday dress.. nothing special so dont get ur hopes up.. dunno why I bought it also... my mind has been always on somewhere else so if not nice.. what to do.. buy and wear liao (:
oh and ya.. On my birthday.. 23 - the old cow*
Grandpa... looking so much better than last yr..
Boxing day dinner.. which turned out okay (: was missing my little helper in the kitchen*
Made Bak kut teh also along with these... learnt most of these dishes from Damus and Angel really..
Was so full after dinner to Auntie Valerie, Auntie Mary and I took a walk on the golf course which is just behind their house.. forgot which hole this is.. but wanted a picture with my farmer like Wellies (: well most of u will associate it with a fish-monger's boots..
My wellies*
Auntie Valerie sent Auntie Mary home so she and I spent the day in the shops in Glasgow.. Sales everywhere.. Ppl everywhere... total madness... Went for dinner at Dino's and had the most amazing, ginormous Clazone Ive ever seen... it was soo tasty as well.. wont have to eat for the next few days (: no food in the flat anyways.. whats new..
Well last year Auntie Valerie and Uncle Robert got Jon and I tickets to see a pantomine and this year she did the same.. she kinda bought 2 tickets for me and asked me to bring a date along.. but I didn really wanna go with anyone cos its something I hold close to my heart.. so I asked if she would come with me, as she'll appreciate it more than any one... This year it was the Sleeping Beauty. The same guy that played Wishy-Washy last year was in it again.. he was playing Chester the Jester this year and each time he comes onto the stage he'll shout, "Hiyah Pals!" and the audience is suppose to respond by saying, "Hiyah Chester!" its very interactive. At the end of the whole thing, they teach everyone a song with actions and expect ppl to stand up and sing and dance to it. OH I can always remember Jon singing it hours on end after the panto last yr.. drove me mental!! The song this year was similar to the one last yr but the lyrics obviously is different.. But it did bring back lots of good memories for me and a tear to my eye at one point (:
King's Theatre*
The holidays just bring back fond memories from the previous year, memories that I'll cherish with years to come.. Am back to hall life again.. back to worrying abt writing reports and studying for exams.. New year.. when's new year... Was good to get away from halls for abt a week... comfy bed, quiet nights, good home cooked meals.. Shared all of this with someone special last yr.. Just hope I'll be able to share it again sometime soon....
*I'll never give up on someone who I cant go a day with thinking about.
