title:{Happy CNY}

Well hmmm I am missing a post. So I'm gonna write 2 days stuff. Like friday and sunday. Because both days are equally cool

27 January 2006
Just when I thought friday is gonna be a boring day slacking at home. When suddenly an important phone call totally changed my fate. Was calling Cheryl when all of the suddenly she mentioned Mahjong/Sleepover/Need one more person. That's when I hopped onto the boat and started my journey into a great night of fun. Yes a night/day at dear dear Charmaine's house. Lol. Sheer funness man. There was Cheryl, Xing Long And Edward too. So 5 of us talking lots of lame nonsense with XL being the main contributor haha. Anyways at first Cher didn't know how to play but then once we taught her she was hooked. Like a fish on the line man. Lol her reactions are priceless. Not bad for a newbie having to win games. Then XL couldn't take it and fell asleep and we had to bug him down to the pool. Morning swim really wakes you up man. The cold water is good enough to dispel all sleepiness. I was like man tired. After a dip in the pool. I'm like, eyes all open and showing what they call hamtaro face. Lol. Man it was fun. Never had so much lameness and funness, especially on XL and my attempt to play bridge with dummy partners. Lol. It was good while it lasted. Especially we ended off with a great bang aka breakfast at Macs!.

Saturday 28th January 2006
As usual. This is the day where everyone has the reunion dinner. Stupid Marina Square. Usually its a family tradition that we go down to hong bao river and then go eat Mos Burger fries before going home. But they did stupid renovations and Mos Burger was gone. But this year its even cooler. River Hong Bao is at the padang there. Opposite the Esplanade. And there are lots of food!! Woah this year is like super big and super lots of food. Got lots of stuff man. Different varieties. Haha I tried some chicken Kebab. Nothing interesting though. Got the ramli burger thingy. Except its for hotdog bun instead of the usual burger.

Yay its CNY!! Woohoo!! Time to gain some capital to purchase new shirts and stuff, or save up for a SLR camera. Man I wanna learn how to take mean pictures that are worthy of galleries. Since I got the free time maybe I can go pick up some skills on that. Anyways today was super awesome. Why? Got a great gathering at my Grandma's place(Father's side). And since we're Hainanese, guess what's for lunch? You got it right! Its our traditional Hainanese Chicken Rice. Super real and super authentic with a great chilli to go along as well. And not to forget other nice vegetables. Today's blackjack was so much better than my other years. Every year I would lose about 10 bucks plus but this year, I think I'm just nice. No win or loss. But I'm not sure though. Maybe won about a couple of bucks only. Small bets but oh wells. Its CNY so play play a bit. As usual my cousin would always lose a lot being the 'Banker' lol. So poor thing. Every year same story. Play halfway and would leave the game. This year I'm lucky because probably I use my left hand to play. LOL. Maybe I can only gamble better with my left hand.

Then its off to my other Grandma's house (Mother's side) for dinner. Lots of steamboat stuff. Stuffed myself practically. Got lots of hong bao(quantity is relative) and got an extra one due to my one cousin getting married. Man my niece is like so freakin tall!! Takes after her father though, the tallest in my cousins group. My cousins have this group of Tians, as in the chinese character for sky. I got 5 other cousins whose name start with Yun Tian (something) just like me. So there are like 7 of us. Kinda like those chinese movies lol so fun. My first cousin is kinda near my Dad's age. Anyways enough about family history. Wanna know more you can ask. Ended the day watching 'Chicken Run'. Man british accent is cool. I'm gonna pick it up.
