Christmas and New year went by without much celebration, the decorations are taken down and back into their various boxes stacked into a cornor where it will stay there for another 300 over days waiting for the next Christmas. The Christmas tree is also back into the store room. Somehow my maid managed to stack it high and saved some space in the store.

On new year's eve, my father in law came flying back from vietnam for a visit. For us, we wanted to fetch him to make him feel welcome. For my 2 princesses, it means a trip to the award winning airport, to take some pictures and videos.

We ditched our maid leaving her to be home to complete her chores. With almost the entire kitchen and wardrobe stuffed into the back pack (Hot/cold water, milk powder, poridge in thermos, milk bottles, diapers, extra clothing) we were on our way.

Food in the airport is almost just as horrible as food on the plane, we found that out as we tried out an unheard fast food outlet call the 'P****e". It serves deep fried chicken, french fries and the worst tasting bread I've ever tasted... its beyond tastless... its "bite-n-spit" kind of tastless. I wonder how airport management chooses its tenants.

The only celebration was a gathering on the post of new year. Few years ago, this kind of gatherings were usually quieter, but now, almost all of us have kids... the noise level has risen by 300%.

At the rate of 3 kids per year, the gov't should be giving us a medal each... ha

The wives gather and talk about kids, the men sit in a group talk about technology and stuff. The kids are all over the place.

Also nowadays gatherings like these don't last long either. The kids get cranky and tired, then its time to go home.
