I know it's a few days late but we've been mighty busy during this holiday season. Nevertheless, it's not too late to with everyone a wonderful holiday season.
We started off our holiday season by joining the local church's carolling group and went wassaling from home to home, singing christmas carols and well, eating! Later in the week, we attended Christmas Mass at the church and had a Christmas lunch with my grandmother and grand-aunt. Then, a day after Christmas aka Boxing Day, we went over to a friend's place for their Christmas party.
All in all, it was a simple celebration. Nothing over the top but definitely enjoyable.

Alright, after Christmas, it was onto New Year's. And nothing is more Malaysian than to celebrate New Year's with some durians.

| Aah....durians. And now we eat! |
Per my mom, eating durians can make one too "heaty". To counteract the "heatiness" (for lack of a better word), one should drink salt water straight from the durian shell. I personally don't believe these shenanigans but nevertheless, both Kent and I drank from the durian shell to humor my mom.
And finally, to bid adieu to 2011, I'll leave you with a pic of the KL skyline in the midst of the 2011-2012 New Year's celebration. Wished I could be cool and say that I was there but Kent and I welcomed the new year just like a boring, married couple would: in bed and fast asleep!

Happy 2012 everyone and have a good one!
