Today was a very good day.

Before that, yesterday (Friday) morning; I woke up with news of my sister in-law gave birth to a baby boy. I was surprised and happy to hear the news. Now my niece has a brother. Awesome!! :) As for his name, I was told that his middle name is Zaman but first name, nothing confirmed yet.

Today, in the morning I went shopping to buy birthday present for my niece. I went to Midvalley Megamall. I bought her a Strawberry Shortcake (cartoon character) digital watch. I went to a retail called 'Action City' to buy the digital watch. When I was about to pay using my credit card, they told me I can only use credit card for any purchase above RM50. I was taken aback. I didn't know that. I ask them whether there were any signage saying 'credit card can be use for any purchase above RM50'. They could not answer.

I told them I did not bring any cash and also told them that from my observation, there were no signage. In that situation, I was quite upset as they could not accept credit card. So, I asked them whether there are any other retails that sells the digital watch I wanted which will accept my credit card. They did not answer and in the end they relented and accept my credit card.

Later today in the afternoon, at the hospital; I was told that my new born nephew's first name is Ashaz. Therefore his full name is Ashaz Zaman bin Badrul Zaman. Ashaz means 'One in a million'. Nice name. Also today I celebrated my niece's birthday. She's 2 years old now. Had birthday celebration at the hospital. Whole family and relatives were there. I'm glad she liked the present I bought for her.

After her birthday celebration, I left the hospital. Went straight to a friend's home in Bangsar. Her name is Katia. She's Australian. Had my first Christmas dinner party there. Everyone was there including Katia and myself; namely Anna, Tomoko, Meher, Thomas, Eunji, Ranmi, Terra, Linda, Mailys, Jakob, A-Jull and Kristin.

I had so much fun. The dinner was delicious including dessert and cookies. Each of us have to wear a hat. I don't whether to call it santa hat or christmas hat. I believe it's called santa hat. After dinner all of us gets a present and we had to guess who gave the present. I got a note book from Eunji. It's a New Zealand beef note book. It's actually a note book with photos of the beef. What Christmas present did I buy and to whom? Well, the present I bought was to A-Jull. I got her a black shawl/scarf. I'm glad she liked it.

To be honest, I felt sorry for them during Christmas dinner party. I meant, I felt sad. They missed their family back home but they managed have fun together. Eventhough they celebrate Christmas among each other as friends but it felt like one big happy family celebrating Christmas together. I'ts my first time and I felt the same way too.

I'm happy I was invited. In fact I'm happy to be with them celebrating Christmas.

After Christmas dinner party, I sent Kristin to a taxi stand in Jalan Ampang. I Hope she arrived home safely. Soon after that, sent Anna and Tomoko home. Now I'm at home. Got home at 2.45am.

Well, that is it for now. Time for me to try and get some sleep.

See ya.
