Chinese New Year

is here, today is the 3rd day and we still have 12 more days to go before the new year celebration ends. We have a hectic new year's eve, starting with a morning walk from Harbourfront to Hort Park, a good breakfast to reward ourselves after the big walk, head home to do household chores and prepare food for reunion dinner at night. This year, for the 1st time in 12//13 years (i can't exactly rem anymore), we had reunion dinner with my parents on the actual new year's eve together as 1 big family. We had steamboat and had the traditional Lo Hei, great fun as well. As usual, even my mom said we never learn from our "mistakes", always too much food and there's still almost half the food left in my fridge today. Haiz... guess we are still better off eating at restaurant, at least we will not order too much.

1st day of cny was spent rushing here and there. Early in the morning, we woke up at 7+ to go to my in laws place to "bai nian", followed by the grandparents' place at telok blangah. Bro supposed to fetch us at Vivo at 11.30am but due to the huge jam at 2nd link, we decided to head on to JB via the causeway. So after telok blangah, we took a cab to Thomson Plaza where bro picked us from there. Oh and guess what, in the morning on our way to Delta, juz as we were going to pass yishun we remembered that we left our passports at home. Got to get cabbie uncle to make a u-turn. The uncle must be grinning from ear to ear as the fare easily came up to $25 where it's usually only abt $18. Anyway, back to m'sia, there's a bit of a jam at m'sia custom and it's because the usual 4 lane road is now only a 2 lane. OMG, how stupid can the people there be to come up with such a change. Nonetheless, we made it to granny's place. A short catchup with my cuzzies and we head home to Singapore.

Reached home around 4pm, early because bro fetched us all the way. Took a nap and off we went to Aunt Shook Yee's place for a good time of merry. All in all, the whole 2 days were juz food and food, drink and drink.... I think I prob have gain a pound or two by now. Detox time again.

Yesterday, we rested for the entire morning and had a lazy afternoon catching a movie at Cathay. We watched the Wedding Game, which in our opinion is a brainless show. Funny but not funny, plot but no plot, so much for Singapore production. We decided to give Jack Neo's Love Matters a miss as we weren't sure if it will worth the $10 per ticket or not. Had dinner at dear's grandparents' place again as "Kai nian fan".

That's how we have spent our CNY, how about you?
