CNY

i havent been updating again... damn myself for being a lazy bum.. anyway, its already the year of the ox.. whoo!!

well on the eve of the eve of Chinese New Year, my family had a reunion dinner for the 1st time since even before i was born... well at least that's what i remember... dad's second brother and family came back to Penang and stayed at our house... it took a little convincing to get granny to come for the dinner though... she wanted to come later... =.= Auntie Imm joined in as well and so did Eugene and his mum...

as usual, its steamboat.. loads and LOADS of steamboat... i mean we bought so much that till now we still have leftovers... that cant be good... it was a pretty good reunion dinner though.. i'm glad at least part of the family were there...

i present : le kiddie table... ^_^

thankfully, i didnt have to sit there... i was on the adult table... haha... anyway on to the next day... the eve of Chinese New Year...

delivered some goodies to my grand uncle and headed to Sri York for the Lim-family-new-year-eve-steamboat-lunch-thingamajig... ok i gotta think of a better term... so its steamboat... yes, STEAMBOAT... didnt stay long though...

back home, i forgot what we did for the rest of the day... oh yea... i washed my car for about an hour and a half... LOL.. hey at least its VERY clean... but i think the birds in my housing area redecorated my car already... abominations...

dinner... well what else is there to eat? maybe it was.....STEAMBOAT!! yes... again... my steamboat agony is almost as bad as Yi May's fear of Passions of Kerala by now... haha...

CHINESE NEW YEAR 2009
DAY 1

GONG XI FA CAI!! ok i'm sorta behind but oh well... anyway after breakfast got ready blah blah blah... i'm sorry... so took the first angpow of the day from mum and dad.... headed to aunt's house immediately...

guess what caught my eye...

PUG IN CLOTHES!!!

and yes that is a denim mini skirt... lol.. my cousin bought the pug for my uncle..

after having my aunt's mee-sua, sat for abit more and chat with relatives... my favourite part is hearing people say i got taller and better looking and thinner and..... ok fine i'll stop... but i feel special... whee... *slaps*

so next stop was my other uncle's place.. the best part about going there is the cookies... my aunt makes the best jam-tarts and other stuff... and i can only have it once a year...

off to grand-uncle's next... granny is also there... more food... i swear i'm getting fat... got stuck there cuz there was a new plasma, home-theatre system and blu-ray movies involved... hahahaha

mum went traditional this year..

after finally finding the will to move our bums away from the plasma tv, we went to the Lim family's place... this year, uncle Shyang Guey cant come back to Penang... i think he's working in Vancouver... Yi Ping is in.......Ireland? but besides the two of them, everyone else is around... since we went a little late this year, everyone else left... but the hosts were so kind to save us some of the goodies... our visit didnt last long though... its sad cause usually we spend the longest time there.. the Lims are like my second family... well that's what i used to think when i was a kid... cousins, remember Yi May? lol

that's May with mum...

DAY 2

i actually woke up for a morning run! and not only that, i freaking ran twice... TWICE..!! lol.. anyway after that i collapsed on the dining table after my breakfast... stayed home pretty much the whole day... dad decided to invite the Lims for dinner... guess where he decided to go....

oh yes...

yup its true...

its May's favourite place in the world........



PASSIONS OF KERALA..!!

while waiting for them to arrive, all i had to keep myself entertained was....

thank God for these!!


they arrived soon after and while everyone was chatting and waiting for the food...

kevin was busy with the iTouch..

after dinner we went to the foodcourt to have ice-kacang... and i spotted this :


freaking LED sign for Char Kuey Teow stand....???? now i know why one plate costs 4 bucks...

DAY 3

woke up real late.. was online and playing PS with Eugene all day...

went to Sri York again for Jacqueline's 15th Bday by the poolside... Eugene tagged alone.. we had Dominos and PizzaHut and home-made ondeh-ondeh... =D

mum was hungry... or not...
