Of vacations and Christmas

Heyo!
Finally, i get the time to blog. Well, not like i haven't before, i've just been lazy ok? Well, i've got a couple things to show and tell i guess.

On to business, firstly, i went to cameron highlands for 4 days. Before i went, i really thought what the hell am i gonna do here?, but it turned out to be quite alright, owinng in no small part to the fact that the bungalow we stayed at had just been renovated. So basically, it was 4 days of pigging out, ping pong and playing movies every night(sorry, couldn't find another word with a 'p' =/). It was a kinda get together with nature sorta vacation, with lotsa trees and green etc, and also more of spending time with family(cousins n such), since we actually haven't been home much during the day to spend time with'em. As they say, pictures are worth a thousand words, and so, let me give you a few thousand ;p


i confess, i don't know what came over me

I swear i was playing!(and not just posing)



After that, we travelled to Ipoh, where mom was brought up, to visit my grand aunt. Boredom gave way to naughtiness as my cousin showed us exactly why 4 year olds can be such menaces. Also, we found a somewhat malaysian version of Crayon Shin Chan in my distant cousin. Here are some MORE photos!

The very next day, my friends came over to our place for Christmas eve. Admittedly, there was some alcohol, but not much(only one guy got drunk..), and quite a bit of gambling. Managed to do some catching up, laughing all the way to 5am and GL, being who he is, nearly woke the whole house up telling his fascinating stories VERY loudly! 'Twas awesome fun! The cleaning up after..boy that was tough, on only 5 hours' sleep and very little juice. Enough with the words, on to the pictures!

Don't let the bottle of mineral water fool you. Tell me, does that look sober to you?
Blackjack!

Well, there were more moments, but after this last pic, i abandoned my camera in favour of the more tempting activity of gambling. I lost 8 bucks in the end, no thanks to our(kevin, jho and i) lousy luck and magnificent (lack of) skill in poker. Unfortunately(or maybe otherwise to some of you), i was not in any of the pics, being behind the camera the whole while. Also, mouseover the pics if u wanna see my comments on'em. As a final note, i hope i took better pics this time!

Merry Christmas y'all!
