Wellz, CNY has come and gone. The good thing is, my allowance for the month is now significantly higher than usual. The bad? Now i'll have to wait another year to see a lot of my relatives again. It's kinda odd really, now that i think of it, how some relations are as good as strangers to me. I might not even recognize some of them if i bump into them randomly on the streets. In fact, i didn't even recognize my niece when she walked into e ahyi's house, as she has GROWN and changed so much within the previous one year that she's now almost her mum's height! Blame it on the growth spurt...:P
Day 1:
Actually, all of the bai4 nian4-ing was done in a day, even though i only woke up at noon! Haha, must be cos of the lack of sleep due to memo the day before. :P
Went visiting in the usual sequence: first da ahyi, then ah gu, then e ahyi. Except that this year, michelle and i ended up meeting at ah gu's house first instead of meeting straight at e ahyi's, cos she couldn't drag herself out of bed in the morning either. :P Except for breakfast (branch?) that day, didn't manage to eat a proper meal till dinnertime though...since we were rushing around from one house to another. But this was the perfect excuse for Michelle and me to stuff ourselves silly with pineapple tarts, kueh lapis, mochi and what-nots! So we won't go 'hungry', you know... :P
Ohhh, and on a completely unrelated note...michelle likes Wu Zun too!! So happy!!! :D (Haha yes yes, which means that I gushing about him again. ;) )
Anyway, after all that running around, went back home where wan, pearl and max's families came over to visit after dinner. Was happily showing off my newly renovated room, where us 'kids' spent most of the time bumming around and taking funky photo shots on my bed, with the mirror, and of our bags (My all-new crescent-shaped Guess bag! Proudest acquisition of the year. :D) Learnt a new song too. Some chinese-canto mixed song by wang li hom and another gal. Given my level of canto-speaking skills, no prizes for guessing which part the rest made me sing. :P (Hmph i'll MASTER the canto part one day ok...:P)
Day 2:
Not an eventful day really, since i'd already gone to everyone's house, and this year uncle lim had gone to penang for CNY, so we didn't have the usual CNY dinner at his house. In a way, that's kinda sad though, cos by this time next year, debbie will probably have gone overseas for uni, so I probably won't get to see her until like REALLY long later, if at all... :(
Anyways, went out shopping at the suntec and vivo city areas, where thankfully, most shops have already reopened after the CNY break! :) But...the CROWD....Man, i really should steer clear from vivo until the hype over it dies down.
And it really comes in pink!
Spotted weiting's dream car, in all its pink glory, at vivo! I've got to admit...the car really DOES look fantasic in this colour! Though if it's so eye-catching that there'll be loads of ppl snapping random shots of it and posting it on their blogs, maybe choosing this colour needs reconsidering...:P
-XL :)
