Din have wireless yesterday, they must've shut it off or something. Anyway, I'm posting the happenings of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in this post.
24th Dec
Met up with Tristan in the afternoon at Centre Point. He had lunch with his family and both of us walked around Palm Square for a while. We saw Esther Lo, Lim Chuu Fong and other friends. Tristan's a real magnet o.0
Then we went to meet Sweeney at Wisma Merdeka. Spent some time there, and then we decided to walk back to Warisan Square. Luckily it was windy along the way ~~~ After that, we went to Starbucks for a rest, and chatted before going for McDonald's for dinner.
I left at about 8 something with my family, and had dinner at the apartment. They had pre-ordered German Sausages from Tong Hin and had alrdy taken them at around 7 pm, so they had had some. We finished it off, together with some vegetables, as our Christmas Eve dinner =)
25th Dec
Woke up at 6.30 in the morning to have breakfast with Tristan and his family at a famous beef (Ngiu Cap) place ~ Very delicious. Next, we headed to a pasar next to the unfinished building of Megalong in Penampang. It had some pretty interesting stuff for sale.... Tristan's mother bought quite a lot of stuff, including bundles of white doughnut-like rice things stringed together (For makin tapai).
After that, we went back to their house; saw his cat named.... Mimi or something. Very obedient, just like a well-trained dog. Then we played PS2: Tennis game and Warriors Orochi. I noticed the word "Orochi", and thought of Orochimaru, and when I played the game, Orochi the Serpent King, is similar in many aspects to Orochimaru in Naruto. First, of course, their names. And then their affiliation to snakes, plus both have or are associated with strange markings/tattoos on their bodies. My research on the matter will be posted at the later part of this post.
Sweeney came to the house at around 12.00 p.m, and we went straight to Tristan's uncle's neighbour's house for Christmas lunch. The compound's soooooooooo huge~~~~ and there were so many ppl. They had 2 roast lamb and buffet ~.~ and some games. Very entertaining.
We headed to One Borneo next, and looked around at the clothes shops that they had there. Lastly, we ended our night together at McDonald's.. drinking coke while waiting for transport. I went bac to have roast lamb with my family, and that was how my Christmas Day was spent =D

So, I did some research, and found out that Yamata no Orochi, or Orochi, translated as the Eight-Forked Serpent in English, is a legendary 8-headed and 8 tailed Japanese dragon that was slain by the Shinto storm-god Susanoo...... Familiar with that name? Well yeah, it's heard in Naruto as well, one of the techniques that Itachi Uchiha used when fighting his brother, Sasuke. In the duel between Sasuke and Itachi, Orochimaru emerged in his signature hydra technique, where 8 snake heads emerged. Itachi's Susanoo managed to defeat it, in accordance to and symbolising the Japanese legend. ^^
