We celebrated Christmas in Penang. On Christmas Eve, we had a dinner at our place with Angie's aunts and sisters. Then on Christmas Day, we had lunch at Niq's place.

Justin at 65 Months

Justin turned 65 months old on 25 December 2014.

In the car on the morning of 19 December 2014, out of the blue...
Justin: I know what a baking sheet is. (He's been watching baking videos.)
Mummy: Good.
Justin: Ask me what it is. (Mummy has obviously missed his cue.)
Mummy: What is a baking sheet?
Justin: Parchment paper.
Mummy: Wow! You're right, Justin. What does parchment paper look like?
Justin: Like real paper.

Pesta Pulau Pinang 2014

We were at the Pesta Pulau Pinang on 11 December 2014. It was the first visit for the kids.

The kids had two rides - the roller coaster and Daytona jeep ride. The rides were rather expensive, but they enjoyed them :o). One token cost RM2 and each of the ride they took cost 3 tokens per person regardless of age. Cheapest ride/game there cost 2 tokens per person.

After the rides, we had a satay supper and took a walk in the garden with multi-coloured lights.
