New Year Eve

We're having potluck at Ida's house celebrating the coming new year. As usual, it took a while for Elle to warm up to mingle in. She put on a very mean look as if everyone in the room had annoyed her somehow, which was so hilarious that cracking us up. Oh boy, once she broke the ice, she was a loud, wild one, hanging out with the boys and mimicking everything they did.

It's funny to see her trying to jump on the bed like the boys and fighting toys with them. This naughty girl yelled out "NO" and slammed the door in my face whenever I was trying to peep into the room. She would then lock the door and scream "help me help me" from inside, calling others to open the door for her. Azman was together with this naughty girl in the slamming door act, standing by her side watching her slamming the door and then helping her to open the door when she's screaming in distress as if the world would collapse if the door didn't open right away.

While Ida was busy frying munchies in the kitchen, she kept going to the kitchen with an empty bowl asking Ida for more fried goodies, which really cracked us up. Zul made a kick ass apple pie from scratch, yummilicious. Just 10 minutes before the clock struck midnight, we bid farewell to the host and on our way to downtown. The fireworks blasted upon the sky while we're driving towards downtown. We pulled the car into a parking lot with the crowds, watching the fireworks inside the car. Elle was oohing and aahing with us when the fireworks were shooting into the sky. We welcomed the new year in a blast of fireworks. By the time Elle got to bed, it's already past 1am.
