I'm sorry I have allowed this blog to go ghost town mode for awhile.

i am now in KL. yeah, i brought my laptop for blogging purposes and also upgrading my iPad thanks to the fast internet here. however i didnt have the chance to do so because there is a lot of stuff going on. and we are usually home only by midnight.

this year i didnt make my christmas wishlist but it was still special despite it.

so here's a quick update from the 21st to 31st here
