Purple Christmas...

I am now in Sabah, my hometown for not more than 2 weeks but I am glad that I can celebrate Christmas n New Year here with Howard and also get to meet up some of my friends from secondary school. ^^

As planned, on Christmas eve, I had a small X'mas Party in my cousin house but later at night, Howard fetched me, saying to celebrate Christmas with me.

Nothing surprised me as I knew that he sure brought me for a drink and countdown with the people over there. In here, I don't think we can find those so-called X'mas atmosphere as had in KL. Sandakan is just a small town and most people might just celebrate in their own homes or in cafe or pub. However, 1 thing surprised me was that Howard gave a bouquet of purple roses. Wow..my dream flowers! I didn't expect he could find purple roses here as it was quite hard to find any in this small little town.

Yah..although it was quite weird to receive flowers in christmas, sure it wasn't weird but rather a surprise and excitement for me! but, I was so guilty as I didnt prepare any present for him because I didn't expect we would exchange presents with each others. OH..I'm so mean! =(

Spending the night with Howard in Jesselton Cafe and 'ding dong, ding dong' Merry Christmas!!!

Night was beautiful with the roses I got from Howard. Thanks Hubby..muakz..^^

Wishing everyone Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! ^^

Howard's Birthday..

Sorry for the late update for the reason I mentioned in my last update, i.e. my assessments. The papers have piled up and lots to study for this assessments..but now I'm a short holidays so try to update the blogs as much as I can..

After Alson's birthday on 28.11.08, Ivy's birthday came too on 30.11.08.. We felt sorry for her as we really didnt much celebrate with her.. but we sang birthday song in front of her door.. after that, her time was all occupied by Richard.

When the clock struck 12, Richard was holding a bouquet of roses and a big pinky bear going to her room with us. It was so sweet and romantic.. I am sure that they were having a pleasant night that day. =P

Well, back to the topic, it was Howard's birthday on 3.12.08. Ah! Jing Xiong's birthday was on 2.12.08 too.. their whole gang's birthday was that near to each others. I couldn't celebrate with Howard as the next day he was having his final exam. However, I came with a plan that we could at least sing a birthday song for him in the 1st floor as they were all studying there for the finals.

Clock struck 12, the lights in level 1 was switched off.. a glowing cake was held by me, holding in step by step and the birthday song was getting louder and louder. Thanks to Emloyd and William for helping to explain to the residents and switching on and off the lights. After those so-called 'ritual', I gave him a present with a kiss ^^ I bought him a Converse Handbag. Some chats were going on for an hour then they continued their studies.

Anyway, thanks to them for helping me to celebrate Howard's birthday as it was his 1st time celebrating his birthday with some other people. Hope that was one of his memorable days in life!

Here are some photos taken by Ivy, Richard and King Huat.
