Night Before Natal

Cloud Christmas

In 2017, Christmas Eve fell on a Sunday. Normally, mum and I would attend Christmas vigil mass, but by doing that, we couldn't fulfill the regular Sunday mass obligation. For Catholics, attending the sunset mass is equivalent to attending the mass for the following day. So on Christmas eve, we attended our usual Mandarin mass at 11:15 AM, and would attend the same slot on Christmas morning to fulfill Christmas obligation. Technicalities, technicalities.

Ventured to One Utama after church and boy, getting parking was quite a huge challenge. Ended up parking at an open air car park. Even that was difficult to navigate because the roads were so narrow due to inconsiderate parking. We found parking at the far end... Since it was Christmas, I decided on a Western lunch at ANTE. Mum and I shared a huge pork shoulder and a polenta. Nearly overdosed.

Pork Shoulder

The shopping mall's creative team came up with a Christmas in the clouds theme complete with a giant crescent moon, which in my opinion gave it a major Hari Raya vibe. Not a very impressive theme. We roamed from the new wing till the old wing, but we didn't actually buy much. A bunch Malay kids played Christmas carols on their brass instruments which was quite an amusing sight. On our way back to the car, we managed to hop onto the mall's buggy service. saving us the trip across the dessert of cars!

MaisonSK hosted a quiet Christmas eve dinner. Instead of turkey, we ate pak cham kai. On top of that we had sea cucumber braised with pork, and soup.

Ended the night with coffee and a slice of Opera cake at Piccolo.

been staying in Kepong for almost a year already, but whenever me and Bee decide to go makan or lepak, One Utama would be the last choice, parking there is like zzzzzzzz, but then, somehow we always end up watching movie at TGV One U, lol...
