christmas dinner

KarenP invited ex-CATs us to her christmas dinner last sunday. so, happily me and lean meet up with ranjini, our driver for the day in lam wah ee and off we go to butterworth.

ranjini our manual car driver.. fuiyohhhhh

it wasnt very jam on the way there. many cars but the queue was a moving queue. we had a relaxing journey. but once we crossed the penang bridge, the headache comes. HOW TO GO TO KarenP'S HOUSE?

miss hooichin did draw me an UGLY map (hahahaha), saying that i should make the 2nd turning. but ranjini remembers that the last time she went to karen's house, she took the 1st turning. so since hooichin's map is an ugly map, and ranjini is the driver, we agreed to take the first turning.

in the car

then we saw pasific. ok, pasific IS a landmark. ranjini goes, "yes correct correct! i remember seeing pasific the last time". so thinking that we are pros, we decided to try our luck to reach karen's house based on our past experience.

and that was the biggest mistake!! because we ended up reaching karen's house 2 hours later, when we should only use maximum 30 minutes. hahahahaha in between of course we did ask some people for directions. but me and lean got confused by the directions. after the traffic light should we turn left? or right? so we ended up going straight because left and right doesnt seem right. the roads are more quiet. hahahaha.. then after rounding for about an hour, we managed to get back to pasific... it's a BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT at that time okay for 3 noobs! lol

then we decided to give karen a call since pasific is a landmark. she gave us directions to her house. "keep left, then keep right, see shell petrol station, turn left." simple right? well, the thing is, too simple isnt a good thing. i think we kept left too early so we went into the wrong turn.. we didnt see any shell station after turning here and there.. so instead of heading towards her house, we were on a highway that leads us to alor setar/sg petani (that's in kedah). =.=''

during one of our sesat moments. we saw lean's name on a lorry!

that's when karenP gave up too and call us to somehow get our car in bukit mertajam and wait there at some landmark and she'll drive to us and guide us. hahahaha so we ended up waiting for her in petronas that has a kfc, somewhere behind sunway carnival mall. she took some time to figure out where we were

while waiting for karenP

when we saw karen's car. we were so glad. like she's an angel. suddenly we know we are no longer lost kids. we are saved!! hahahaha

we reached karen's house late. and we missed the caroling!! =( karen served us with some cookies and cakes, which me and lean happily eating because we were soooooo hungry after getting lost for 2 hours.

happily we eat like monsters that havent ate for a year. hahahaha then, it's photo taking time!

i forced them to wear the christmas hats that i brought from my house. like that only got christmas mood! they keep pushing away the reindeer hairband to others. no one wants to wear that. hehehe

sorry for blur pictures. those are taken via handphones. havent received the ones in the camera from karenP!

then, it's DINNER TIME!!!

even the plates used are so in the christmas mood!

after dinner, we were bloated! we chit chatted for a while.. since the next time we meet will be in 2009 already! =(

before we leave, we make sure we used to toilet first. because we know we are gonna be stuck in the jam in penang bridge. how smart are we right? hahahahha

we did get stuck in the jam. for nearly 2 hours. quote lean: "we spend more time in the car than in karen's house" =.='' but we had lotsa fun. arguing in the car which way to turn. rounded butterworth like pros when in fact we were lost..

thanks karenP for the invite. thanks mr and mrs P for the food and everything!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
