Countdown To Blue Christmas 2008


Its already 2 weeks into December and the Christmas mood in KL is how should I categorise it - "sombre"??? Maybe the recession has made people cautious about spending... anyway, my family is spending Christmas in KL this year and I had overworked my brain with Christmas plans till I got migraine.. Despite Sam's advice of financial planning, I decided to go against it and opt for Noorul's and Syuhana's financial spending instead ... huhuhu girls wanna have fun maaa ... we think about the debts later.




I decided on Blue Christmas theme after turning purple green with envy over Rosmin's Winter Rendezvous... Besided it gonna be raining season over in Malaysia so RAIN=WATER (the snow in malaysia melts) = BLUE. Anyway, I think it's about time I put on my creative cap and party planner self whom I have shelved somewhere over these years... Dunno lah why, it takes toooooo loooooooooooooooong to fix a broken heart. Oh yea, I also found halal whole turkey at GIANT yesterday and I am soooooo going to have stuffed roasted turkey for Christmas this year.



In Kuching, the the Bidayuh Christmas celebration is a bit like Hari Raya. Apart from manok pansuh or the non-halals, the rest is infusion of Malay influence like kari, masak merah, masak hitam, rendang, ketupat pulut. Of course like most Sarawakian household during festivies, the kek lapis (layer cake) is a MUST. However, eversince I moved to KL .. I have been having Western style Christmas. There will be friends sending Christmas puddings, champagnes, roast turkey - except last year coz I went back for Gina's 1st birthday. And like other celebrations in the Yeoh-Soweng household - Christmas is a time to compete, and comparing notes like who's cooking is the nicest, who make the best looking layer cake, or who put on the GLAMOUROUS bling-bling.


Maybe I have been a very good girl that God make sure there are lots of wonderful blue Christmas decorative ornaments in Midvalley and Ikea this year. The last Christmas Party I had back in 2006, everything was in the traditional colours of gold and red. Halleluyah... I had been seeing things BLUE since Saturday. That Sunday, I did the pre-decoration of my Christmas Tree and I think Blue ROCKs! Now I just need to wait for my 3 amah Indon - Joan, Jason and Jayne, 1 Filipino cook - Mdm Nelly Paya and 1 Hong Kong bouncer cum supervisor - Mr Yeoh coming over on the 23rd to do the rest of the work.


Wonder what Santa has in store for me this Christmas ... what will he give me if I am EXtra good this year...

thanks to Ikea memang banyak benda yang simple yet elegant to choose from under one roof. Ballon tu beli kat mana?

That Balloon I beli kat Ikano - I lupa nama kedai tapi dia sebelah Red Envelope - Party something nama kedai dier.

You right - one thing I like most abt Ikea nie kan sebab U get designer's product at a very affordable cost.
