Christmas 2011, The Anniversary & New Year 2012

I supposed to separate the story about my Christmas 2011 celebration, wedding anniversary and New Year 2012. Well I hope it should be okay to combine it in 1 post hehe.. Forgive me if the post is too long.. Haha!

By the way, how is your new year 2012 celebration?.. What's your new resolution?.. 

As most of you know (for those who are really following my blog regularly) , the month of December is indeed the month of celebrations for me. The celebrations including hubby's and my birthday (which I posted previously), our 4th wedding anniversary, Christmas Day and New Year countdown. :). 

I am blessed to have those I love around me, especially dear hubby and our beloved lil' one, baby Gabriel Aiden. I couldn't thanked enough to GOD. I praise to GOD each day for this wonderful gift. A blessed happy and peace family I have.

Christmas Day 2011

The Christmas celebration was really simple enough though it should be meaningful year for us as baby Gabriel was there too. 25th December 2011 in the morning, started with attending Church service at the Church of Mary Immaculate Kota Kinabalu, then had breakfast at Lintas, then went for to 1Borneo Hypermall just for 'jalan-jalan'. Later, around 2.30pm, we straight away went to my parents house in Taman Bersatu for the family gathering for Christmas celebration. ;)

Wedding Anniversary

Meanwhile, our 4th wedding anniversary was on 29th Dec. Hubby gave surprise a one night stay at Kasih Sayang Resort.  A nice place to stay with the cool weather and mesmerize view. He suddenly asked me to pack our things on the 29th Dec morning. I was really had no idea, but found out he booked the place long time ago.

Thank you dear hubby for the relaxing stay. He booked a deluxe type room. The room was indeed spacious and comfy. One day I will build our bedroom just like the design. Really nice ;) And not forget the wonderful view, calm and cool weather.. It should be great for those who are in love, or for a family trip.. 

You even can do religious activity there, because I heard there was a religious group doing their spiritual retreat while we're having breakfast (we could heard the hymms they sang not far from the breakfast place). A peace hymms and spiritual songs really made our day; I felt inner peace and really thankful to GOD for what we had especially on our 4th years anniversary of marriage life. Amen! :)

New Year 2012 Countdown

The new year 2012 countdown took place at my parents house in Taman Bersatu, Putatan. We ( hubby, baby gabriel and me), stayed there for a night for the countdown. Macam biasa lah, sementara tunggu pukul 12am, activity BBQ lah.. :) We had fun.. plus the BBQ food also sedap hehe..:)

Ok, let pictures do the talking. ;)

And on the 2nd day of year 2012, it was my in-law turns for new year family gathering. They planned for homemade steamboat. Actually my hubby planned for steamboat restaurant, but anyhow the place was switched at my MIL house in Kg Kondis, Penampang. I found it was fun to do steamboat food at home though. This was my 1st experience having homemade steamboat and i think it wasn't really hard to prepare the dishes. ( i did not prepare the food though, busy taking care of gabriel bah hehe).

 Enjoy some pictures below. :-

One Fine Saturday..

It was fine Saturday. 

17 December 2011, nice weather and a meaningful day for my loved one.

Yes, it was a date which my hubby was born.

We celebrated it at Promenade Hotel, Kota Kinabalu. We went for lunch there. And it was on me.. ;) A birthday treat for him. There was no surprise gift, just a simple lunch. Yet it was meaningful and memorable because baby gabriel was there too for the 1st time. ;)

Okay, let pictures do the talk ;)

for him.. ;)

 Blessed birthday dear ;)

Oh and by the way, I went to salon on the same day to cut my hair.  

I got tremendous hair fall after I delivered baby gabriel. Several experienced mommies advised me to cut it, so i took their advice. Hubby encouraged me to cut my hair too..

Christmas hair.. the hair bang tidak terurus bah..deii hehe

Okay, that's it for now. Thanks for visiting here ;)

13-12-11 ;)

Hello dear friends, 

we've been through nice numbers (dates) throughout the year. 

And now we are in the midst of December already. 

Another nice date after 11.11.11 and 20.11.2011, 

it is 13.12.11 which is yesterday.. ;)

As of others maybe choose those dates for their wedding ceremony or engagement party, the date 13.12.11 itself really special for me. 

It is because my birthday falls on 13th December. ;)

Well what was happened on my birthday?.. Any surprise by hubby?.. Most of friend asked me whether i got what i dream of.. 

So what is actually i dream of?.. To be honest, a thought would be enough. And having them (the love of my life) to celebrate with me on my birthday is really meaningful to me. What more I can think of?.. The loves of my life, dearest gabriel and dearest hubby.. :D 

However, dearest hubby was thoughtful enough. He booked a room at Kudat Golf & Marina Resort without me knowing. Kira surprise la kunun tu.. ;)

 Here some of the pics ;)

 at the 1st day..

 the loves of my life ;)

 a surprise birthday treats for me.. ;p

 I Love these moments ;)

 

 A surprise birthday treat from hubby. Western food. Sbb bnyk kali saya ckp sama hubby teringin mau mkn western food sbb susah ba mau cari di Kudat ni..

 View from our room ;) Nice kan..

And lastly, as always Mommy and Gabriel ;)

 We're spending 2 nights here. The place is so relaxing. Tomorrow will be the check out. So, for those who are planning to do vacation in Kudat, this resort is highly recommended..hehe..

Indeed i had fun here with lil gabriel and dear hubby. Thanks to dear hubby for planning this for me. I'm really appreciate it.. ;)
Again, it's the thought that counts. :D

Okay that's it for today.
Have a blessed week. ;)
