A quiet Christmas

Kavin and I are spending a quiet Christmas
over here in Los Angeles,CA

It's been a busy Christmas Eve and Christmas Day,
I played the piano in Church for Midnight Mass,
which only ended around 1.40 a.m in the morning.
I walked out to my car after that, and discovered that
the car battery was dead because I had inadvertently
left my lights on.

Thank goodness, Kavin was able to drive the VW
to jumpstart the dead battery. The winds were pretty
chilly and blustery too. Thank goodness for coats
and gloves...
By the time we got home, it was close to 3 a.m in the morning.
and then I had to wake up for the 8 a.m morning
Christmas Day mass to play for the morning masses.

I got back home and spent most of the early afternoon
taking a much needed nap. Got up for a home-cooked meal.
Kavin had cooked some stewed pork and carrots and
fried rice with egg and scallions and it was yummy.

The cats have gotten fed their favourite 'Chicken Feast'
canned food, so they're happy. I'm seriously tempted
to stick some plastic reindeer antlers over their
heads for fun :)

I called Mummy and Papa last night to wish them a Merry
Christmas. They had had a lunch gathering on Christmas
Day for both the Foo and Chua sides of the family
and about 60 people had gathered for the occasion.
I wish I could have been there, but at least I got back to Singapore
six times this year, so the homesickness is not too bad.

I'll probably spend the rest of the remaining hours
of Christmas having a quiet, reflective time...
it would have been nice to have some time with the blessed sacrament,
but I suppose playing for 4 Christmas masses will have to do :)
