The Run Up to Christmas...

After saying our goodbyes to Zara (who was jetting off back to Brisvegas) and Sarah (who was heading back to Saltburn for Christmas), we started preparing for Christmas, Malaysian-style a.k.a visit a number of large shopping centers, wander around the multitude of shops and go away empty handed! Needless to say we spent quite a bit of time buying last minute presents when secretly (or not so secretly), both Leon and I were dreaming of lazing by the pool and topping up our tans. On Christmas Eve, in line with tradition, we went to T-Club which has been our local bar for the last 10 years! Leon said that it was akin to one of the bars you'd find on a popular Greek island, but even with it's new refurb I still feel like it's my home away from home. A bit like Cheers, where everybody knows your name. Everyone was in the festive mood and we were given a bag of goodies by the bar staff to help us celebrate Christmas Day when midnight came around. Armed with shot glasses that lit up, party poppers and drinking dice, Sian, Pete, Leon and I sang through a number of timeless Christmas classics while sipping on some cocktails and beers. As we left T-Club, we were greeted with a mini street party, as people (including very young, naughty children!) started spraying us with fake snow in a can. Aaaah... Christmas has arrived!
