Spent half a day at hun's parents' house for christmas yesterday. What a colorful and joyful time i had. I did not managed to join them last year and this year's the first time i ever had a real experience of being in another culture's celebration. There, i witness the true Malaysian spirit and the joy of caring and sharing. Hun's beautiful family with his multi-racial brothers in law and hun's younger brother's girlfriend, tudung-clad Rozita were all in a merry spirit celebrating this togetherness. Exchanging gifts, seeing the happy faces of nieces, Nalisha, Lea, Marie Ann & Arielle with their bundle of gifts from uncles and aunties were part of the merry moments. I brought chicken rendang & chocolate fudge i made the nite before. 1st try on the fudge, it turned out a bit softy.
The highlight event was the karaoke session i must say. Unexpectedly, the 11-year old Marie Ann sang to a Malay traditional song called Seri Langkat which i myself not so familiar to. All of us then joint in and sang merrily, it was so much fun indeed. And yes we were also entertained by the real singer, Peter, hun's brother in law with renditions from DJ Dave, Jamal Abdillah, Engelbert Humperdinck & Kenny Rogers. Nalisha, abang Nazri's daughter also proved that she does have a melodious voice when she did a duet over Jamal Abdillah's song with her dad. We left the day with me feeling a bit lagged but happy inside :)
Marie Ann, Arielle & Lea
