De.Christmas

For my curious blog-followers with an itching head... want a brief storyline of my very first christmas out of Singapore?

No white christmas, no snow... no snowman. Oh well, at least they say it might be snowing on Tuesday! We spent a week in two places - Erfurt and Magdeburg, both of his parents' places. The first day began quite badly, everything went wrong and we arrived late due to the first train being delayed. Fortunately, it became a lot better and the week could be said to be ending quite smoothly with tonight being the last at his mum's house. His dad has a big house and the family was certainly very easy-going. His step-sister spoke english, so there was something we could laugh about. His mum's side was equally fun, his sister is a pretty doll, his step-dad is always nice; I enjoy their company even though they hardly speak english. And oh... I still can't understand much german! Arghh...

Surprise Surprise! I have a new hair-cut enhanced with some highlighting. How cool... please don't envy. He he he. Flo's sister, Juliane, was a hair-dresser, so she did our hair. Actually she could do anything with my head, since I was so sick of the usual hairstyle already! I'm a satisfied customer now.

I bought some chocolate for visiting, and also a present for him. I received one from Flo, one from his dad, one from his mum and one from his maternal grandparents. They are all nice to me... I love the one from Flo best because he knows what I want, ever since I've been wearing it for a week now - ah stinky me! The rest are bundled with kind thoughts and I like them too.

Christmas at Flo's dad was accompanied with champagne, red cabbage, olives, salad, fish, etc. Christmas dinner at his mum's was ducks, green cabbage with sausage, red cabbage, potatoes, fruit salad, cheese cake, choco-whipped-cream-banana cake (which me and Flo were making)... Now I feel 2kg heavier :(

Christmas for them is like our Chinese's Chinese New Year; but I don't think I get as much money and the joy of surprises like them. I'm lovin' it!

p.s: Girls, get ready for the postponed christmas gift-xchange, I'm almost ready ;)
