it's 2.30am now... and i can't sleep at the moment!! the enthusiasm to celebrate chinese new year has reached a record high... can't even understand why i can't sleep... i'm suppose to recharge my batteries now, and go to grandma's house tomorrow full of energy... smiling to everyone and of course repeating the same words over and over again...
GONG XI FA CHAI~~!! followed later for a while....
KAM SIAH~! and thoughts full of.. $$$$$
the preparation prior to chinese new year is always typical... last minute shopping with pals... (fortunately i did buy a few shirts instead of returning home empty-handed like fang chin... :p ) massive load of household chores to be settle... which i'm grateful... with the help of my sis.. who took care of the downstairs... while me take the upstairs... after a hectic sessions of cleanig and sweeping + swearing how dirty the place is... we manage to finish the cleaning job b4 noon... after that we went to grandma's place for lunch... it's a day to remember our ancestors as well... so we 'bai bai'... and then.... LUNCH! heh... i was very hungry at that time...(skipped breakfast as well...) abit san fu to sabar for so long... guess that's how i lost weight ...
took a quick nap in the afternoon... b4 we have to start 'pan leng' for our 'tuan yuen fan'....
my family no longer cooks prior to this event... all book tables in restaurants instead.... and this time... it's at Sheraton's Hotel, Subang. Met up with all uncles, aunties and cousins.... and only realised that my closest cousin Ian Gan is heading to melbourne U this sunday! wah lao... damn fast... and everything just happened in a flash.. soon i'm gonna lose another cousin ady! -.-" (his sis is there in Aussie as well so they should be having a good time staying together and going to the same U)
the dishes served are good... though not as good as last year's... :p on the contrary we had our reunion dinner at the same place oso last year... i can't elaborate all bout food at the moment.. it's nice... but just can't make my stomach go empty so fast...
after dinner... we head back to grandma's place... chilled there for a while.. (and built a ang pow camp at the same time)... manage to lauk a few ang pows from relatives... b4 we head back home to prepare the *altar*...
and get to view other household's magnificient fireworks at the same time.. (there's one which lasted quite long..... expensive type... produces miniature *flower* after the first *pop*... this whole thing blasts 36 times.. ) ---> poor sophie seemed to enjoy the fireworks at first..but somehow got on to its nerves in the end... can't even manage to gobble its food... -.-"
so here i am still... after 'bai bai'... and the new year's resolution? study hard first... the rest all later only decide.. :p time to reduce my parents' blood pressuer... since i'm the only child left in college life compared to my sibligns... who have ended their miserable schooling life... :p being the youngest sure has its pros and cons... :p
until then.... enjoy ur new year sessions... and get all the ang pows... don't leave a single relative out... they are more than just frens! they are ur annual atm machine as well! >.<
