back :) christmas and vacation..

well, dah lama tak blog eh. i have been extremely busy the past couple of mths. mana keje and then holiday season and gedebak gedebuk...terus jer gi holiday yea! :) well, christmas was fun. tak celebrate pun dapat hadiah jugak. best kan..hahaha. my friends got for us a le creuset potterie. basically it is a baking dish. and we got for them a new rice cooker. sebab everytime we go there, masak nasi cam tak cukup gitu. so bought for them a rice cooker, martin yan endorsed from target. they also bought the girls gifts and all that. i pulak tak teringat nak belikan they all apa2...maklumlah different family celebrate it differently. maybe nanti their birthdays, we will get something for the kids.

the girls posing with what sarina brought home from school. some giant candy and chocolate sticks.

got his mom a gift card from hobby lobby with some candles. as for his dad, a reading journal and a borders gift card. i like gift cards. senang gitu...tak yah nak pikir2 what to get for ppl. i got a perfume set and something from pottery barn and entah apa lagilah from my in laws. sean dapat some crank radio, neck massager, a portable vacuum for us and something else. the girls were very happy with what they got. sarah got things mostly on dora..a dora light, or what she calls her disco ball..nanti amik gambar..dora nyer play dough set..dah habis dah play dough tu sampai kering ..she main without my knowledge..a dora puzzle and tons of clothes. sarina got a beading kit, some oggly googly gears stuff..cam lego but i tak tau apa..lom bukak lagi hadiah tu...then of course clothes and a subscription to highlights magazine..banyak jugak bebudak ni dapat hadiah. gegula toksah cakap..i think almost the whole mth, she brought home candy lah..chocolatelah and all that.

goofing off at the airport. on our way to mass.

anyway, that was christmas...now on to our little vacation. we went to massachusetts and hooked up with kak za...hehehe. terkabul jugak eh, kita nyer angan2. dapat sambut hari raya haji and new year's day with the ciccotelli family. you know, i have not really seen most of the west coast, but let me tell you..i love the east coast. cantik nyer..but i am getting way ahead of myself. got kak za nyer phone numbers and called her up for the first time. wahhhhh..lembut nyer suara dia..lunak and merdu..cam you lah sri...why eh..my kawan seme so soft spoken..why lah i ni tekak larung..haha..tak per..kak chom kiter geng kan :) anyway, very excited. i mean..we have not met and yet here we are going to be spending a week there.

more goofy pictures.

memula pun ingat, maybe tak dapat flight sebab most of it are all fully booked. tried last minute again and there were seats for us to use our miles. yipeee!..and what else..off we went. the last couple of days after christmas, i have to pull 2 10-hour shifts, just to make up for the time that i will be away. to yang balik lepak tu. i packed the bags on the night before the trip. tu pun the next morning still packing a little here and there. ketawa pulak sendiri..sri remember the last time i nak gi on a trip to new york...cam tak leh tido...tetengah malam nak spell vacuum pun terlupa..hahaha. this time, i think sebab i was too tired..tak lah camtu..but still i had a bit on an anxiety attack..dunno why like that. time nak go on any long trip..i always feel that way. until the day when we are in the car and started to drive off..baru lah hilang anxiety tu. made arrangements for the cats and all that.

i love this place :) wish we lived there...one of the many wharves that masschusetts have.

anyway...will continue later. now have to get ready to go to omaha pulak. will be back this evening. then have to work on the last quater nyer receipts and send it off to the accountant..plus have to key in the names for the librabry nyer mailing list...wahh..banyak jugak keje nak buat..hehe. anyway, hopefully, this mth i will not be so busy eh. to everyone..a belated new years nyer greeting. insyallah, this year, murah rezeki and tercapai lah whatever goals you have set for yourselves eh :)
