Christmas in the Chin Household

Posted on 26th December @ 11:29pm @ Melanies house

Well Christmas has been and gone. The last few days have been pretty cool. Christmas was as expected, lots of people, lots of great food, etc etc.
Christmas morning we (me,melanie and mels brother tim) went around to mels grandparents place for breakfast/lunch. We had yummy chinese food. Her grandparents cook great chinese food. From there we headed back home and got ready for that night when everyone was coming around to have christmas night.
Everyone started arriving around 5 and dinner was at around 6. Food was good and it was fun. After dinner we did the ‘opening presents’ thing. Everyone got a little somthing which was good. I got a few gifts as well which was nice.
Ive got so many cool thigns while ive been oevr here, most have been books and one of the presents i got was a bonsai book which is really cool. Other things i got include a wallet, books, leatherman tool, pen, cool washington jumper, shirt.

Today, we all went to Dim Sum for breakfast/lunch. Had nice chinese food again. Left there and went to frys tyo see what was on sale. I almost bought a dvd burner but then decided against it. Left there and Tim dropped me and Melanie off at the cinema cause we where going to see Lord of the Rings – Return of the King. We got there at the arranged time but all the tickets had been sold out. Anyway – Melanies aunty brought everyone tickets for the 5:05pm show and we basically decided to hang around for an hour to beat the line ups.

While waiting me, mels aunty Doris and her husband Tim (another tim), went for a walk over to a bike place. It was basically a big ol shed that had a motocross track inside. From the look of it people jsut bring there bikes along and have a ride / race. Anyway we watched that for a while then we went next door and looked at the bike shop. That pretty much took up the time we had there so we headed back to the cinema and went in to watch.

Movie was pretty good, im a little dissapointed as apparently the ending is different in the book, so maybe ill have to wait till the books are selling real cheap and buy themt or ead it how its meant to be. *shrugs*

From there we went out to eat and then came back home.

Mels grandparents are here playing Mah-jong (spelling?) and things are cool.

We are off to the comedy again tomorrow night which should be good. hrmmm Ive got pictures form christmas and the motocross today but ill post them later when i feel like it.

righto, time to go back downstairs and see whats going on.

Oh a side note – i got paid again from the uni! WOOHOO!!!
