Happy CNY..!!

I know its late but its still just the 3rd day of the Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year as some prefer to call it..

The weather hasn't been forgiving as usual.. Its like whenever CNY comes around, the heat just cranks it up a notch.. Its always so hot during CNY.. It never rains.. NEVER..

Anyway for the first time probably since I was born, we had a reunion dinner on CNY eve.. 2nd Uncle came back from KL with his family and stayed with us.. Grandma joined in as well.. It was a pretty huge feast.. We had like 11 dishes.. They were all amazing.. We couldn't finish though..



First day of Chinese New Year was kinda hectic as usual.. We went to 4 places.. It was nice receiving all those "angpows" but then I also ate.... A LOT.. Makes me wonder if the 5KGs I lost before the break was still there.. There's things like my aunt's "mee suah", another aunt's pineapple jam-tart, the "loh han chai" at my grandma's, and of course the "ang chau" at the Lim's residence.. LOL.. It was a day of family, food, reunion, money, and comparing who grew more since the last time we saw each other..




After visiting, the family headed home and I rested in my sub-zero temperature room.. Dinner that night was simple as we only had the leftovers from the reunion dinner.. It was still satisfying..


The following day, my parents hosted their usual open house.. I only had only a handful of my friends present.. Melvin and Dexter came first and was later joined by Mabel, Marcus, Malcolm, and Matthew.. We had a little chat while watching AVATAR.. It was short lived because those suckers had to leave early.. Melvin had to attend a family dinner while the Kok's were going to SP.. Poor old me just sat in the living room eating or taking pictures of some of the guests at home.. I think I had the same food like 3 times in 4 hours.. I'm so hitting the gym and playing more sports after this..

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



I got a text from Mabel asking if I wanted to go to Chee Chiang's place so I left after the last guest went home.. Went to Chiang's place for awhile and then headed to Starbucks with Penny and Louis..



I had to wrestle my dog when I got home just to get to the door.. Little sucker wouldn't give me 10 seconds of space.. After that it was back into my own winter wonderland and after a phone call, I went to bed..


Woke up in the morning feeling like P.Diddy..... OK no I did not feel like P.Diddy.. But this morning I woke up I felt a certain joy inside.. Weird.. What I also felt was the throbbing feeling in my head thanks to the lack of sleep for the past few days.. Sent my mum to a relative's place and headed home for breakfast.. After that, here I am blogging while waiting for my phone to ring carrying a text messaage from the most important person.....


Out..
