Agra INDIA (Taj Mahal)

Agra! yes, this is the next stop... staying here for 4 days, and trust me... I can go on and on and on about a place and the monument. Reading the Lonely Planet, Photographic Encyclopedia and history books about the place and start to see with my own eyes.... Here goes narrowed down (waaaaayyy down) photos from my Agra trip. 

Merry Christmas to one and all

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas 2014

Silver Black

Every year its like a tradition for me and my "family" (very close friends) to have a pre-Christmas dinner that we called White Christmas Dinner. It was started somewhat a few years back. I started and organized it for a couple years, until last year I hand it over to my bestie. This year, she is arranging this one since I was away for a month to India.... we have some kids tag along and it was fun too, cause at least the kids are behaving. :D

How's your Christmas preparations you guys? Mine was a bit crazy! Running around and did some late Christmas shopping... late? I know! I have been busy with Christmas preparation at home too. At last minute I decided to invite some close friends for pre-Christmas lunch. Some can only make it for dinner time and so I split the group in two and now I am stuck with pots and pans... hahaha...

Its okay, cooking is one of my hobby, so I don't mind sharing ...

Hope you all have a great holiday guys...
