Dear Atuk Santa..

i hope you Atuk have enough time to rest.. we really need you bah..

just wondering where are you at this moment..?

then we can rempit together and jalan-jalan cari makan liao.. 🙂

our local foods are very very tasty punya..

Atuk you probably worry that you may have difficulty in getting into the chimney if you’ve eaten too much..

or even cannot get out from the chimney..

Atuk, actually you don’t have to worry so much..

and don’t have to purposely cut down your weight k..

you don’t look handsome Atuk if you are so thin..

furthermore.. we don’t have chimney in our kampung houses..

all you need to do is just ketuk pintu and beri salam niah..

so, nothing to worry.. jom makan.. :p

by the way.. don’t forget my Christmas present.. the baby should be 2 years of age now if Atuk you still remember my 2010 Christmas wishes.. :p
