Hi there , My dear Ah Ma - Look ! I am all ready to usher in Christmas ! How do I look in my Santarina cap? Our house is all dressed up too. Mama and I did up the decorations on the tree. Uncle Yeow Siew did the window dressing. Dada,perhaps will have his share of thinking out what's for the Xmas menu. Last year we had roast turkey but I was not able to enjoy it as much as I will enjoy it this year. Mama has got all the presents all wrapped up. I believe everyone will have something for Xmas. You bet I'll have the most presents. I had a sneak preview of some of them. I am excited !!

This is going to be the first Christmas with a big Chrtsmas tree here in Lakefileds This Saturday we are joining some of mummy's friends for a pot-luck Xmas party. I am sure I am going to have fun. Kong Kong told me that you'll be back on time to usher in the year 2009. Wow how time flies. I'll be three years and Justin will be a year.

I am really looking forward to 2009. I know it's going to an exciting year for us with lots of nice things in store. Firstly it'll be Uncle Chien's and Aunty Amelia's big day - yes 17th January 2009 will go into the OOI Legacy as an auspicious day for us.It was just about at the last lap of 2008 ( October 16th 2008 ) that the stork brought Justin to us and soon the red carpet will be laid for Aunty Amelia to walk down the aisle to join the OOI family. I have the honour,as flower girl, to strewn the floor with fragrant petals for Aunty Amelia to walk on. Mama says that I'll be wearing a long gown with a flower wreath on my head. WOW !!! I'll be in the limelight. Dada says that I must put on a smile and wave as I walk down the aisle. I hope I won't get knocked knees !

Just before we can recover from the excitement of the grand wedding of Uncle Chien, we'll be sitting down again for the traditional reunion dinner on the eve of the lunar year. The family table gets bigger with new family members ( Aunty Amelia and Justin ) and new in-laws ( the Ng family ) . I wonder if they have a table big enough to cater for all of us. We are all in ONE big family ! Right?
Good ! That means that I can collect more "angpows" this year. Justin's little hands will be full too with "angpows"

Kong Kong tells me that 2009 will be an interesting year for him and us too., Yes, he says you'll pack for home from Oman. Right? Yes I
can look forward to holding yours and KongKong's hands as we go "jalan jalan cari makan " . Justin may join us too. We can hop from one place to another - to Uncle Chien's , Uncle Ti's, yours in Ipoh and Sentul, and even to Penang to visit all the "Po chors" there.
That's all for now and all the best to you. A big hug for Xmas.Oh yes, thanks for your Christmas present. Its a beautiful gown !

Love from Jade and Justin
