CNY 2011 + other updates!

Hello people, I know that all my posts have been dragged because I didn't have the time to blog about recent events so I'm trying to catch up now! ;)

From the latest to the earliest >>

10 Feb 2012
Had a gathering with my fellow Taka colleagues! I missed them shoooo much because we haven't met for ages!! We met each other at City Hall MRT station first at 1PM. ^^

Weiming was late so we waited for him at Starbucks.

Can you see our reflections in the lens of the spectacles?! \m/

Weiming still hasn't arrived yet at this point of time, so we walked to Marina Square and headed straight for SuperBowl where he would meet us there.

We played 2 rounds of bowling! This was our first round score, the second round was taken using Zulhelmi's iPhone and I forgot to get him to send me the picture through WhatsApp so let's just give it a miss.~

 My shoe looked oversized...

After the bowling session, we went to the arcade just opposite SuperBowl. Zulhelmi and Weiming played pool while Sarah and I sat at the corner looking like some bar girl. -.-

At first, the guys actually taught us how to play pool but we girls found it kinda difficult to control the stick and aim properly so we gave up playin' it. Another reason why we didn't play was because we had this stereotype thinking that pool is a wild game and only vain girls join in... Just an opinion, don't take it by heart if you're a girl who loves playing pool. Peace. :)

Alien...

Got this really adorable Mickey Mouse plush toy at the arcade, thanks to Zul.~ HAHA.


       


1 Day before CNY:
I remembered that I rushed back home after work at around 6PM then helped with the spring cleaning. After so, had reunion dinner with my lovely family at home. It was a sumptuous feast indeed. Once we'd filled our stomachs, we continued with the cleaning and hurriedly bathed before midnight struck. It was a hectic day indeed but we fulfilled our tasks and were ready to welcome the money god, huat ah~!

Steamboat for reunion dinner!

The crazy amount of CNY goodies at home.

D.I.Y. decorations done by me!


Day 1 of CNY:
Woke up early at around 10am, dressed up and stuff. But it was sort of a special day so my mom helped me with some eye make-up. Just a simple one. She drew a thin eyeliner across my eyelids as well as mascara for my eyelashes. It was the first time applying make-up for these whole 16+ years of my life. HAHA.

Outfit for the day itself! ^^

We visited my grandmother's house. We just had to stay in that house, because the other relatives (my father's side) would all visit my grandmother's house. It's more convenient that way too! Didn't receive as many red packets as last year though. Sadly...

My adorable but spoilt niece! 

These pictures were taken using my DSLR after returning home from bai nian! We actually took a family picture at my grandmother's house too but I have no idea where that picture lies at now... Oops!

Day 2 of CNY:
Day 2 was spent at home. It was a really simple day. And mom cooked a huge feast for lunch!! Love mama's cooking, da best of da best! WEE.



On day 2, it was also my sista's birthday! That's why we decided to not go for house visits but celebrate my sista's birthday. We had dinner at New York New York, it was pretty awesome 'cos there were no other customers in the retaurant except us. There was a sort of VIP feel, as if we'd booked the whole restaurant down.










The quantity was so much that my stomach was so bloated that it could explode any minute! But I love the feeling when my body consumed good food like these. Even though I'm so full that I am limping, there's still a smile plastered on my face. Hehe!


Day 3 of CNY:
Mimmie and I met up with mimmie's third sister and my niece before travelling to their second sister's house for visiting! I didn't go there last year because I was busy with school and gosh, you didn't know how disappointed I was when I realised I couldn't make it. Do you know why? Because my second aunt's husband is a chef hence every time we go to his house during CNY, we would enjoy a classic, delicious and filling meal. Every year, new dishes are cooked and we get to taste different delicacies on our taste buds unlike my father's side! My grandmother always cooks the same old stuff, every... single... YEAR. 

Furthermore, there are always a lot (emphasis on the word LOT) of goodies there, in my second aunt's home. They're really good because they specially ordered the goodies as it was really popular so you won't be able to get that particular pack of goodies on the spot. 





This Angry Bird red packet was given to me from my second aunt! Although I don't like Angry Bird, I found this particular red packet really interesting and humorous! Observe the front and back view of the red packet. The chinese words mean to improve and do well in the academic area, and then they show all the 100 marks with the chinese word meaning 'good'. Haha, just sharing!


This is another cute red packet!


Day 8 of CNY:
Met up with Zicong (our camp instructor), Wee Siang, Dara, Wesley, Chu Yu, Chuin Ann and Joseph at Yishun MRT station. It was sort of a gathering cum CNY visit. We had lunch at Sakae Sushi before taking the bus to Zicong's house which was located at Pasir Ris.~




Once we reached Zicong's house, we settled down, made ourselves comfortable while Zicong prepared a movie for us to watch. It was a Thai movie, the genre was romance, comedy and music. It was my first time watching a Thai movie and I actually quite liked it! After which, we decided to play mahjong!!!

Only 2 of us knew how to play the mahjong, the rest were completely lost. I was half lost, because I'd forgotten how to play it. The only person in my family who knows how to play mahjong is my dad but he isn't willing to teach... So, Zicong patiently taught us the rules as well as methods to win the game. We played about 5 rounds of mahjong.~

We left Zicong's house and headed to Changi Airport for dinner then boarded 858 home, it was a long journey.
