CNY 2nd Day



After a long day of playing gim-rummy... i managed to pluck myself out of bed at 1030am on the 2nd day! Had to go visit a close friend of my parents.. something we do every CNY. Auntie Bebe is her name.. and she cooks EXCELLENT porridge! haha.. oh man! Every year.. i juz look forward to visit Auntie Bebe for her porridge.. its damn nice!

Marilyn and her family were there too.. (oh ya.. this is the first time i mention abt marilyn.. so a little bit abt marilyn.. she is my childhood friend.. since.. 1 years old?. i think. lol.. thats how long we know each other.. basically.. my parents and her parents are like close friends..) back to CNY.. love Auntie BeBe's food.

We stayed there till abt noon.. before they proceeded to my place.. (they always do that after visiting Auntie BeBe's house) After that.. we started to play "buan luck" haha (blackjack - for those who dunno wad im talking abt) Marilyn lost really alot of money.. around $40.. and she was like sooo sad.. haha. cos she was juz boasting abt winning $58 the day before on blackjack.. haha.. and of cos.. i won.. some of her money. haha..

Well, i see her only once a year..(suppose to be 2 or 3 times.. only she knows why.. haha!) so there was alot of things for us to catch up.. Had a great 2nd Day of CNY which ending playing Gim-rummy at my grandma's place till 330am!!! gosh! haha

Wishing ALL Happy Lunar New Year!

Well, my CNY didnt start on a good note.. yes, i was clearing 1 week of leave juz b4 CNY, so compared to others, my break was 1 week longer.. but juz b4 CNY, on reunion dinner that day.. i fell sick. gosh! wad a time to fall sick! had the cold and cough.. and was blowing my nose the whole day! Since my dad is a Malaysian, every year, my family would haf to travel to JB for reunion. The worse part was that my family made plans to go shopping over there the whole day b4 making our way to haf our reunion dinner!! argh!! i couldn enjoy the shopping at all!! To make matters worse.. my gf came along and i promise to keep her company to shop.. no choice.. had to bring along a box of tissue wherever i go.. poor thing right?.. i still managed (barely) to buy a LEVIS jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt. Found out that buying LEVIS in M'sia can save u up to 40SGD as compared to buying in Singapore. My girlfriend bought the most.. which included a LEVIS jeans as well, (since it was cheaper than Singapore, who could resist not buying one?)

Really wanted the day to end fast! cos i felt really bad. bought clarinse and felt a little better.. but still.. i juz wanted to rest.. reunion dinner was ok.. nothing really special (of cos.. wif "bao yu" which my gf took ALOT.. and i mean ALOT! , buay paisei.. lol) Did some catching up wif my M'sian relatives and at around 10pm.. we aheaded back to Singapore. Thank God there wasnt any jam on the way back.. i really really wanted to rest.. haha!

that sums up the day before CNY!
