Merry Christmas To You...

The Christmas present giving tradition slowly died off as I gets older.. when i was young.. christmas was the time i always looked forward to.. coz that's the time i get to buy present for my cousines and close friends and receive from them as well... we're not allowed to open it till christmas.. and i remember me being the rebelious one always tries to peek on the presents even before christmas.. i would slowly open the present, check what's inside and then stick it all back together again... i know.. i was very naughty before.. :P Christmas it's also a time for new dress and shoes ...we would show off our new attire in church (haiyah.. u know lah.. kids like to show off one). some of those days is still vivid in my memory.. esp the times i spend with Pacy and Deanna, and of course the jie jies (sisters) as well.. we had our crazy moments.. when i say crazy.. it's really crazy!.. we had fashion show in my house and it's one of the mommy's idea!!!.. that's how crazy we were.. :P This year i got few pressie from people who are very much involve in my life here in LSU.. when i receive these pressies.. i just started to recall back the good ol' christmas i had when i was young..


First pressie from my cuzzy..

it's not that clear.. but it's written there "made in Vietnam" ^-^ you can hardly find anything that's made in USA these days..

Second pressie from my supervisor at work, Carmen..

Back home, we don't really give shoes as a gift coz we're unsure of the size.. but because of the return and change policy here .. it makes things easy.. but fortunately, the size fit me just right!..

Third pressie from Sang and Quyen...

wondering what's inside the box?!...

i need something hot and spicyyy....

Weather has been really cold these days.. there were nights when it went down to 0'C.. every night i crave for something really hot and spicy... then i thought of MAMA.. sigh~.. how i wish i can have them every night..

i went to the oriental market and actually found mama... it cost my 99 cents per packet.. but what the heck.. i bought two packets... (coz i think it's too expensive..)


It looks quite the same with those in thailand.. but if u observe carefully.. there's some difference..















one difference spotted!!.. mama in chinese..
direct translation to english .. "mother"













"oriental style instant noodles shrimp flavor (tom yum)"






i'm glad i bought just two packets!!!!











because it's for export only!!!!.. and u know what happen to "for-export-only" product?!?.. they tone down the spiciness of it!!!!.. arghh!!!.. it was really a disappointing one.. it's like i'm eating maggie ayam flavor okay!.. oklah.. i exagerated a lil there.. haha.. but yeah.. it's nothing like the ones i had in thailand.. i remember eating mama and sweat like anything in thailand.. sometimes i even put just half packet of the chili powder becuase it was too spicy.. they might as well change the whole packaging and put " NOT SPICY" in front lah.. haih.. so sad for those Thai people here..
