ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU
- Mariah Carey -
Did I tell you about the surprise gone wrong?
I think it was Independence Day weekend and I flew back to Miri to surprise my Mom, she wasn't expecting me. So there I was standing jovially and patiently in front of the gate, waiting for Mom to open it. Several minutes passed and still no sign of anybody, not even a shadow through the glass door and windows. That's when Jen from next door came out informing me that nobody's home. I called Mom and she was in Bintulu, a good 3 hours away! I laughed at myself, Mom laughed at me, saying how silly I was. Lucky my friends were willing to hang out with me another few hours. Needless to say, there were no more surprises of the sort ever again, at least not with Mom. Until today.

Debra missed her flight last Saturday and she told Mom that she won't make it for Christmas. But she actually booked the same flight as me and we purposely didn't tell Mom Deb's coming home. Mom's expecting some random backpacker to spend Christmas with us.
When Deb appeared Mom didn't think it was funny at first.
Few minutes later we were sipping tea.
There aren't any presents this year, no Christmas tree, this is the time we'll just be chilling out and catching up.
Then there'll be time to spend with friends.
There'll be time for frisbee at the beach.
Time with Little Jen next door (who's of course not little anymore)
Time to reflect on a pretty awesome year.

Citizen crane.
Then I found out from Google that it may not be one because it flies with its neck retracted (cranes fly with their neck outstretched). And that, ladies and gentlemen, makes it a heron. Now, the closest I am to ever becoming an ornithologist is to study the bones of any bird that unfortunately made its way to my dinner plate but this one looks very much like a Chinese Egret or Swinhoe's Egret or Egretta eulophotes.
Bird watching to start the year and I'm feeling so smart already. Hah!
