Have Yourself a Merry Christmas

The Christmas tree at home

From L to R: Aunty Kam Yean, lamb, me, Mummy and Daddy with the birthday cake at Lemon Garden.

Outside with the real gingerbread wall


At Dome KLCC

Do not order their banana milkshake...for RM 15++ it sucks.

Cheers! :)

I know it's already Boxing Day but Merry X'Mas everyone :)

My Christmas was extremely low-key...I slept in the afternoon due to a massive headache. This is the last time I'm going to SMS with Pei Chen until 2 am in the morning!

Sleigh Ride

Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing

Ring ting tingle-ing too

Come on, it's lovely weather

For a sleigh ride together with you

Outside the snow is falling

And friends are calling "Yoo Hoo"

Come on, it's lovely weather

For a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap

Let's go

Let's look at the show

We're riding in a wonderland of snow

Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap it's grand

Just holding your hand

We're gliding along with the song

Of a wintry fairy land

Our cheeks are nice and rosy

And comfy cozy are we

We're snuggled up together like two

Birds of a feather would be

Let's take the road before us

And sing a chorus or two

Come on, it's lovely weather

For a sleigh ride together with you

There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray

It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day

We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop

At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop

Pop! Pop! Pop!

There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy

When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie

It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives

These wonderful things are the things

We remember all through our lives

(Repeat)
