Christmas in Seoul (2018)

We came across this biscuit and boy, Little One went bonkers over it! To the point, we bought a huge box of 24 pieces at the airport for him... :P

What hey! What is it? Well, Christmas was just the next day and there's muffins or rather Manoffin. A set of 4 for 10,000 won.
Nice.

I also decided to try something else... since this cost way much lower than a comparable fast food, I decided to give it a go.

So... what do you get? Quite a lot from the looks of it. And quite yummy too...!

In my small little family of three, we have a little tradition or rather we created one of our own: Every Christmas, we would have a Christmas Log Cake. So here it is... in Seoul. Bought from Paris Baguette ...

And complete with a Christmas Day visit to the Cathedral... which unfortunately, had services running, so weren't allowed to enter.

As you can see, quite a lot of visitors too!

Imagine caroling at minus 17C (-17C)... brrrrrr...
You have my admiration. 

Like most Catholic churches, there is a nativity set.

And what is interesting, is that situated below the cathedral complex is an underground mini shopping cum cafe store... Interesting!

In order to get to the Cathedral, and back, it was quite an ordeal. While yours truly researched and noted that there would be quite a lot of people, unfortunately, it's more like everybody is there... out on the streets.
Certainly not for claustrophobic and crowd hating kind of people if you are one of them...

The End.

Christmas in KK, Sabah

It's Christmas time and dear baby is heading back to the island that he was born on; but instead of Tawau, we are heading off to Kota Kinabalu, where Grandma's house is located...

We have since Little One's birth decided that for certain reasons, MAS would be his official airline carrier as it's just a bit more cumbersome to use AirAsia. Actually, we don't and can't entertain the idea of walking so far as well as carrying him up and down those flight of stairs to the aircraft doors.
Imagine if it was raining... I'll pay a wee bit more, thank you very much!

So here we are in KKIA. Just one word of MAS's 737. On row 8, where ABC is, there is no window. So... But on the plus side, the newly refitted ones come with inflight entertainment. Yay - depends on whether you have time to  watch which unlike us, the first thing we did was to search for Mickey Mouse cartoons!!! :p

Sadly, there were only 2. Ah well...

We were quite afraid that during his bath time, we wouldn't have an appropriate tub for him. Thankfully, this one fitted him just find!

A future child musician? Prodigy? Let's not get our hopes up too fast, shall we...???

"I'll only let my Grandma cut my nails...!"

Nap time with Grandma.

Coincidentally, on the 24th was his 10th month birthday. So...

He's excited! But then again, he's easily excited...!

"Let me at it, let me at it!"

"I'll cut my OWN cake, thank you very much"

"..."

Getting a taste of his 10th month cake which is Black Forest.

For Christmas mass, we went to a local Catholic church. Lovely choir.

Picture time.

The Nativity scene.

Grandma as ...???

Scary right?

Grandma happily strutting around in her Master's robes.

And just like that, it's time to head on home! That was fast!

Goodby KK. We'll come and visit you again... next year! :)

The End.
