A pictorial summary of significant events during my winter holidays :)
On Christmas Day, Kitty invited me to her house for a Christmas lunch. Had to walk all the way from my place to her place (about an hour plus) because there was only one bus service that day and it runs every hour o.O
I thought I could do it but my confidence dropped drastically when I stepped on the ice and snow. The entire Manchester was like a skating rink. I wonder how busy the A&E would be with all those people who fell.

Michelle (her housemate) build this snowman and snowcat in the foyer of the house. Aren't they cute?

Thank you Kitty for this wonderful traditional Christmas meal! I love those Christmas trees candles and crackers!
Then later at night, I had Christmas dinner with Rong Rong, Joshur and his classmates from back home. They made a huge turkey and other yummylicious dishes :) Thanks guys for making Christmas this year one of the best!
And of course, I remembered to send a card to Katherine wishing the birthday girl a Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas :) Hope she received lots of love and presents from her family and friends!
Then time flew by and it was the last day of year 2009. Had no plans to watch the countdown and fireworks display but the sound of fireworks outside my window were simply irresistable. Managed to convince Rong Rong to come and countdown with me :P

One part of the 10.5 minutes fireworks display, shooting off at the count of 0!

The Manchester Eye on the last day of year 2009...people actually get to sit on it that night and watch the fireworks display in the cars. Awesome!

A very nice lady blocked the stream of people passing by so that both of us could have this picture taken. Thanks Rong Rong for accompanying me! It will be my last year after all :D
Overall it had been a really good night, although my toes was so cold it hurt. Did I mention that it was -3 degree celsius that night? I even had to prepare a hot water bottle to warm up my feet while I was in bed :P
