My grandparents are very sweet. Grandpa will call me early in the morning to go over to his house and Grandma will entice me with my favourite food.
A normal conversation will go like this:
* Its normally in hokkien though*
Grandpa: Ah Yin, today you want to come over?
Me: Ah Gong, im still sleeping leh. Later can?
Grandpa: Ok. But must come over huh. Ah Ma cook all your favourite food today. Must come hor.
So almost every weekend, i get a meal of home cooked food. Whenever i am there, my grandma will start nagging at my eating habits because she feels that i "nibble" rather than "gobble". She raised me until i was 17 and prepared all my meals. I think it drives her nuts to witness my new eating habits. "Eat some rice for goodness sake. Where are you going to get your energy if you dont eat some rice?" she said. Sometimes, i feel like explaining to her that white rice= bad carbs but i dont think that my hokkien skills are up to it.
Today when i went over, I found a pot of brown rice. Just for me. According to my grandpa, no one likes it except me. * I will convert them someday. Ha ha!*
I felt like tearing but then the brown rice would taste very salty. My grandparents are jewels. This might sound quite cheesy but if i believe in reincarnation, i must have done something really good to deserve them. In their eyes, i have never grown up. I am always the little kid running around in their house which totally works for me. LOL Amid all the neurosis in the world, the fundamentals are always there. Like i always say, i am very fortunate .
Anyways, i must have been a really good girl this year. *This is my blog and i deserve all the rights to praise myself or have disillusions. Ha ha!*
Aunt Flor gave me a bottle of Special Christmas edition of Absolut Vodka! It comes in a nice white casing with snowflakes!! It also contains drink recipes that are easy to prepare!! Guess who is going to drink alot on Christmas?! Ha ha!I totally dig Christmasy gifts! Thank you Bee Bee!
Next up, the angel came up with an ingenious idea and made me an....................
edible candy train!! It even comes with chocolate train tracks and gummy Christmas tree in a beautiful box and bow!!!!!! Genius!
I decided to have some fun with it.
Ha ha! With Frosty and reindeer. The catch about getting a candy train is that you really cant bear to eat it because it looks so cute but at the same time, the candies are way too tempting. For the life of me, i could never figure out where she got the idea from but its wonderful! She gave me a card that reminded me a snow globe.I love the gifts. Thank you, Leftie.
Btw, stop upstaging me! LOL *you know what i mean.* Ha ha! Overachiever.:P
Mr Nasa decided to add some "bling bling" to my christmas and bought me a pair of really nice Swarovski earrings!
Earrings are my favourite accessories and blue is my favourite color. :)
Coincidentally, now i have a pair of beautiful earrings that will compliment my Christmas outfit. It must be the cosmic interference. Ha ha! I love the card as well. FYI, my first reaction when i saw the card was not to whack you. I cant say that you arent creative.:) My violent tendencies arent that serious. :P Thank you. Its a lovely gift.
Did i mention that i love Christmas? Magic always happens during this time of the year.
Cheers to awesome grandparents, fantastic relatives and wonderful friends!
