Boxing Day

Today is the 4th anniversary of the 2004 Tsunami which claimed many lives all across the Indian Ocean.
So I can only sit back, and remember those who died...and pray that those new tsunami warnings which were installed immediately after still work, in case of another great tsunami.

Christmas Day was great. =) I didn't take any shots of my presents, but then again, who would want to see them?
I completely forgot that almost all stores open on Christmas and Boxing Day, because in South Africa and Australia, everything is closed, lol. So when my aunt took us out for lunch after church, I was completely flabbergasted to find that things were actually open.

Yeah, I feel like such a jakun at the moment.

As of now, I am still shopping for last minute presents for people at in Perth. Thankfully, things are cheap in Central Market, but I can't keep going back now, can I? Grr. I need to spend a whole day in there. At least most of the people on my list have been ticked off.
It's been said that Malaysians have created a 'Mega Sale Culture' and I say good for us! What excitement would there be, if we had no mega sales? I feel sorry for other countries who don't have the sales like we do. :P
Also headed to that fish pedicure place. These fish [and I have no idea what they're called] feast on dead skin cells, so putting your feet into a tank of these is literally the natural way to a great pedicure! It's dead ticklish at first I admit, but it gets better after a while. I know I only dared to submerge my entire foot in the water after about 7 minutes. Before that, I only sacrificed my heel or my toes.
My feet have never been so smooth.
Not to mention it's RM5 for 10 minutes in Central Market, so for anyone heading that side: go while the offer's still there!

Central Market's also got a stall selling shirts with incredibly witty wording on them.
RHB Bank- Robin Hood Bank. We steal from the rich AND the poor. -we don't discriminate-
HSBC- Highly Suspicious Banking Company. The world's loco bank.
BMW- Burn My Wallet

Also, my all time favourite: KEEP MALAYSIA CLEAN. Throw your rubbish in Singapore.
As well as: When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping.

OF course, it was RM35 friggin bucks, so I didn't buy it. One day, I'll just go and print out my own shirt, LOL.

Boxing Day! [Spent mulling over pressies]

Christmas Day has come and gone!!
And this year, I suppose, it has been rather uneventful.

I got some cool pressies though, which I have successfully and rather generously downloaded to show off. Especially because I'm so proud of them. XD

Aside from all that, my Christmas Day was, needless to say, rather uneventful.
Went off to church in the morning and pretty much spent about an hour singing carols and listening to the pastor preach away.
Although I must say, I like this church. =) In Malaysia, I remember Christmas services always took like 3 hours. Short and sweet, just what I like. I don't believe that the amount you worship God depends on the amount of time you spend doing it. If you're a fake who wants the world to see how much you love God by standing there and yowling out carols for an hour and a half, then maybe. A simple short prayer probably shows more than an hours worth of yowling out carols.


So then I headed over to my cousin's house upon which we opened our presents! And these are all mine!
















Radio and battery from uncle.
Hat from a cousin.



























I'm using the green one for Halloween as FRANKENSTEIN!!!
Perfect for the hot and sweaty days! (like now)



Altogether now!









Yay! Shoes! (from my mom after we came back home)

And thus was my Christmas Day!

Today, I also want to remember the victims of the Tsunami Tragedy, so keep them in your toughts and prayers. =)

Anyhow, Happy Boxing Day!
