gong xi gong xi

tuan nian fan
i only managed to leave for mcca around 0930 on cny's eve. tg the traffic was not too bad. was only delayed for around an hour. however mom decided to have tuan nian fan dinner and not lunch. erm. bad move cos this means less time for digestion. i immediately had tummy upset after dinner. lots of lots of air in tummy and cant fart nor burp. ha ha. what a condition to start the new year. guess for chinese it suppose to be good kua. i mean full mar....
gong xi FATt chai
gong xi gong xi.... tis a quiet cny. with the strict ban and high fine for red crackers, no more cny bing bang mood d. first thing i did when i wake up after wishing gong xi fatt chai to mom, i dashed to my room to try my new clothes. aaa. lucky man. with my bloated tummy and all, i still can fit into them. ha ha.
ban ban
ha ha. puak kiao. my fave activity during cny. it was receiving ang pow but as you get older... luck didn't pick up in di koo's house. must be something about a-girl sitting next to me... however, luck picked up the next few days and yee ha!
peer pressures
ooh ooh. so cute. yea. reunion with friend and their babies. sooo cute all of them. but i only managed to take some ellie's pics. one of the aunties suggested that i get married soon to have one cutie myself... erm. i countered "erm... no need get married to have one, auntie. just a willing donor, rite?" she was stunned. so any donors? anyway, many of my ang pow giving friends has became scrooges!!! come on, there are only a few of us singles, er, rite? winnie and siewping were cornered by us singles and "willingly" gave us those lucky red packets. siewping turned the table by remarking "make sure this is the last time, ok?" yea. ok. erm. sure.
reunions of friends
one of the many reasons i always looked forward to during cny is meeting up with friends. some were anticipated while there will be a few delightful meet-ups. one of my best catch-ups was with winnie (based in suzhou with hubby, kintat). this woman is still as captivating and loud as all of us :) especially when us chabos and peter only gathered. phui looked more like a tai tai now with her long curly locks. siewping! our papan monitor... i think 2 years i haven't met her! still rosy cheeked with endless legs. sharon - our very own grey's anatomy was a little tired but immediately perked up during the puakkia session. who says docs don't take chances?! others were and i hope still are as lively and lovely as ever :) seems like we don't aged, huh?!
