went down to Chinatown on Lunar New Year's Eve - with my brother in law and my two sis. our timing were quite well planned reason was upon coming out from station it was only 5 mintues more to 0000hrs ..got ourselves a good enough spot at chinatown point to watch the lighting of firecrackers and fireworks - all i can say is its nice and shiok to experience it live at the scene instead of thru television ! =P though most of the time for firecrackers u could only see basically black smoke.
later on went strolling or rather squeezing ard chinatown festive street market .. at some junction there were ppl quarrelling and creating some scene which held up the alrdy jammed traffic = inconsiderate people and police cant seem to do anything =_=home sweet home at 0230hrs with my favourite snacks at least - Honey cookies and Love letters.
Chu Yi slept till abt 1100hrs .. haha slacked abit till late noon at home then whole family went down to late grandparents house for gathering and bai nian to all relatives [miss my grandfater's culinary skills - where i feel so fortunate to be able to enjoy elaborate dinner].had lucky draw and i won consolation prize .. nvm abt the prize its the fun tht counts. I felt older and older year by year upon seeing my cousins who were once still small adorable kids having fun during festive seasons grown up and tunring into much bigger kids with problems of their own (i.e where to shop or movie to watch)
whereas cousin who are in early 20s to late 20s have a total problems of another category .. mine is wat am i going to do after NS ! had a great chat too .. and we agreed all changed pretty much within half a year
Chu Er visited my granny and i miss her culinary skills especially the dishes she prepare during lunar new year though they are not elaborate but they are simply nice, followed by going over to my 4th uncle's place for dinner and gathering .. some of them went swimming as for me watched some of my cousin play sims and i have to admit they are adorable especially when they fight for their turn they can scream and literally scream haha .. had pick a angbao from yingliu display and i picked the one with highest $$ - $18 and my nephew got $10, my sis got $2 =X wahaha, later on went over alvin bro' place to bai nian and slacked over at starbucks with sylbest joining us .. caught up with them awhile and realised i been losing contact with so much ppl since i entered army
Chu San Went to late grandparent's place for grandmother's death anniversary.. was supposed to wake up at 0830hrs but end up sleeping back and got woke up by my mum at 1000hrs i'm so turning into a pig. rush down in cab and help out etc .. late afternoon went over Bincent's place and caught up with gaming buddies and poly friends from his class .. all had changed and i almost couldnt recognise kion. as usual play ban luck and watched lion and dragon performances and later in the night went off with no loses in game to meet friends for supper and saw Yilong haha. I'm happy and contented this Lunar new year though programms were quite few and rot at home most of the time.
Chu Si surprisingly i slept thru the day from 0530hrs till 1715hrs skipping lunch only to have it after i wake up and going for dinner at 2nd aunt's place in awhile's time .. i'm going to grow fat soon with so much of eating and no exercises after i shifted my training to sungei gedong
this time round i dint play mahjong ! and having 6 days of off from camp is quite good though at times felt bored.. alrights rant too much .. will place some pics here once i got hold of any from friends camera .. may everyone reap what they wished for in the coming year ahead. =D
