It's Christmas!

We weren't sure if Papa would be having dinner at home last night(his client was here yday) and thus, I didn't get much food in preparation. However, he came back and good thing I have enough ingredients to prepare a dish of japanese curry chicken wings, heee. So, this year, we only had a super simple dinner of that and of cos, the ribs I've bought from the mall the day earlier(not cut to preserve its juice, :D). Oh, and this, which I've got hubby to buy last minute 'cos I've forgotten to get one yesterday :

At night, we were all relaxing by the sofa, when coming out from the room, I noticed hubby dashing across the hall and I thought I had a glimpse of a present on his hand. Then he sighed "aiya, mommy saw it already", hahaha. I tried to make some guesses whilst hanging up the laundry and I got it right on my first!. He's got me a new camera! Indeed what I super needed! I've been thinking of getting 1 for quite some time now 'cos the current one I have, had started to blurr esp. whenever I took videos and I never seem to get enough photos on the very limited memory card space of onlly 256mb(very frustrating to have to keep downloading th photos to the pc soonest posisble or even delete them away, if I wish to get more photos later) and the battery needed charging more frequently now.

Actually, I had comtemplated about getting an extra memory card for not wanting to 'waste' money 'cos it's still usable anyhow but was afraid that it might be made redundant should the camera give way(Sony's accessories cannot be used with other brands'), so, this is really a good surprise gift for me, :). We'll be taking 1 of our old camera(which we've passed to Eileen and she has no use of it now anymore) for the trade-in discount(yeah!) that the store has kindly 'withheld' for the time being, :D.

SONY DSC-TX1 - Obviously, this was taken with my old camera, :)

Hubby said the pink colour had looked 'faded', so he chose this(which co-incidentally is my 2nd choice!)

Then, it's time for Renee to play for her Papa, before she got to open up her presents :

And thereafter...:

This year, for letting Renee to open up her presents after midnight(she had suggested to open them today), she had gone to bed super late(or should I say 'early'? it's already past 1am! lolz) and we've decided that we shall let her do it on actual day instead, for the coming years...

This morning, our neighbour dropped by and gave Renee a christmas present! We were caught unprepared and it's awkward not being able to give them back... Must remember to do so next year...

We'll be heading to Sis' for our X'mas gathering later, So...

Merry Christmas, Everyone!
