Happy CNY! =)

Gosh I'm gonna have to practise my summary skills again, lolx... Will try to write abt the impt stuff onli but I hav a feeling that this is gonna be another long long post =P

New Year's Eve (060208)
Cant remember much except tat I had tuition b4 reunion dinner and I actually got a $10 Bengawan Solo voucher from Nashirah's Dad for the new yr... So cool rite? =) N I'm gonna teach p6 English soon too on top of Math, which means I get a pay rise, hahaz...

Anyway after tat went down to grandma's hse for reunion dinner as usual every yr... Managed to tok to Hannah's mum (my aunt) and apparently I got myself another tuition deal again! This is reli too cool to believe man! =) Seems like a gd start to the new yr although I had to stop tuition for most of my students this wk... Spent the rest of the time watching some lame kungfu mahjong show on Channel 8 b4 heading back home... Continued watching some Channel 5 show (Faceoff I think) with my bro all the way into the new yr b4 slping =)

First Day (070208)
Went down to my uncle's bungalow (mum's side) to bai nian... This yr was abit diff, in the sense tat I actually managed to catch up with my cousins, and its not juz the usual "how're u?" kinda thingy... I actually got one of my cousins' number and MSN (we dont usually tok much) and it was reli time well spent toking to him =) After tat went with another cousin's family to some temple followed by the botanical gardens... Nothing much at the temple, but this family is one tat we've been trying to influence to go church... My mum asked if 2 of my cousins (Kae Uei and Jye Ning) could go on Sunday and the Dad didnt object =) Hope tat things will continue to improve...

After tat we went down to the Botanical Gardens (some random idea la) and tok a short and leisurely walk around... Juz explored a small area onli, the whole place is super big la... Took some quite a few pics while we went around the diff areas... It's been a long long time since I last went there bah, but I still remember some of the stuff which nv changes, lolx... Feels reli gd to relax and cruise around slowly, hahaz... Following tat we went our separate ways; they went back home for dinner (we came from their hse and there was lots of fd cos they prepared for all out relatives) and we went in search of something to eat... Not an easy feat I muz say, esp. since its the first day of the new yr... Either the place not open or super-crowded, lolx... In the end we went Eastpoint's BK to settle our dinner...

But tat was not the end, cos my bro and I had arranged to watch a movie with Kae Uei and Jye Ning later and we were trying to book the tickets at dinnertime... The demand was huge so in the end we settled for Shaw at Bugis... Watched the 11.45pm show... CJ7... Not much of a plot but super duper funni, lolx... N the alien-dog super cute la... Totally love it =) Was around 2 plus by the time we reached home... Feeling abit hungry so we made instant noodles and had supper/breakfast? Totally dead beat after tat... Slept at abt 3...

Stayover! (080208)
Today we went to my father's side to Bai Nian... Woke up at like 11 plus and it was almost 1 when we left the hse, lolx... Nothing too fanciful oso... Basically went to 2 places and stayed longer at the second one until abt 5... Then went down to Simon's hse... He had 2 guests with him, plus we waited for Chengxin and Ivan b4 having dinner, which consisted of KFC bought nearby... Cleared up and started another TV marathon... (think I'm reli deprived, lolx) Watched Survivor followed by Time Machine... Slept close to 3 again... Simon's sofa's soooo comfortable! =P

Feast! (090208)
Woke up late at abt 10 plus again... (guess u can already determine my new yr routine, hahaz) Went to buy some stuff for the steamboat tml, after which Chengxin and Ivan left first... We hung around for awhile b4 Calvin came over and then we all went down to Agape for worship practice... Had the honour of sitting in Jasper's car and went down to Jing Ping's place for dinner... There was Simon, Calvin, Jing Ping, Jasper, Xiu Hui, Ning Ning and me... I muz say its reli sumptuous and I ate to my heart's content, lolx... Think abt 10 dishes in all plus rice and soup and drinks... It was the most delicious meals I had for the New Yr I think... Everything's juz so prefect, hahaz... Ru Lan Lao Shi's reli a superb chef! Seriously la! =P Songkai's family came down after tat too but Eugene was not around... They juz came back from Penang... Muz hav been a most enjoyable experience =) Anyway after tat we went down to Yile's place to Bai Nian... I was too full to reli try any of the new yr goodies tat Yi Xin offered, lolx... In the end took something to eat and spent the rest of the time sharing a Sprite with Simon... Left at abt 10 plus... Tired but still very full, lolx... Got home and tried to think abt wad I wanted to share the next day but in the end went to slp... Too tired I suppose =)

Full Reunion!!! (100208)
Today supposed to meet Kae Uei and Jye Ning at 10 at Kallang Mrt together with my bro but in the end all of us were late... We ended up meeting in Tanah Merah where they boarded the train tat we were already on... Reached Agape close to 10.30am... Went with them to eat chicken rice across the road, then we went up together... Was actually quite nervous by the time worship started cos of my sharing... In the end I mixed English and Chinese together... Hope I was making some sense =/ But I'm reli glad tat its over! =) Was quite stressed by it for a few days, lolx...

After service Weiting treated me to this Dan Dan Mian... Can say its my first bday gift? Lolx... Was quite nice but I couldnt finish it so shared it with Andrew... Oh ya, toking abt Andrew... I was quite stunned when I saw him walking into the worship hall at the back, lolx... Thought he still in Australia... Anyway its reli gd to hav him back with us =) Left Agape after lunch and went with Simon and Andrew to buy the rest of the steamboat stuff, then Calvin came and picked us up in a cab... Went down to Simon's place and started preparing for the steamboat...

Gosh, this reunion dinner for our G12 was reli ultra cool and a super rare event, cos everyone was there!!! Andrew, Chengxin, Calvin, Ben, Sing Heng, Alvin, Nicholas, Ricky, Chin Heng, Simon and me!! Plus we had Weiting there too! =) Its reli been years since we had such a full gathering together, lolx... Either the overseas ppl not around or some ppl will have something on during cell... Its reli so cool tat everyone was around this time!




Anyway after steamboat they celebrated my bday (as well as Andrew's cos next month he wont be around) Gosh, cant imagine tat I'm turning 21 liao... So fast la... I feel neither old nor young, lolx... Is tat how u're supposed to feel? Hahaz... Anyway I wanna thank everyone who came and oso for the presents... Ben and Chengxin one the wrapping super cute, lolx... Thanks to Alvin too for being my photographer =) N oso to Andrew for reli helping with the shopping of fd plus clearing up (both the fd and the plates and utensils, lolx) Weiting too was a big help and definitely lightened up the whole atmosphere... Plus she bought our cake! Thanks sis =P Of cos not forgetting Simon, who planned and organised this whole reunion cum bday party! One big hug for u! Love ya! =)
