Year of the Dragon - Part 2

Spent some time celebrating CNY with my friends other than my family too! My friends came over on a friday night for a steamboat session and also played poker and mahjong while watching running man throughout the night.





Those not in the pictures include Peifeng and Wenkai! Thank you Derald and sis for helping me grill the food and bicky for preparing the steamboat! It was fun, the last few friends left at about 3am. Maybe i would organise it next year again :)

I fell sick the next day and hence chaihuat couldnt come! I spent the whole day with a throbbing headache and a fever. Wasn't fun at all! I don't even know why i fell sick -.- i didn't even eat much of the titbits.

Went to candy's house yesterday to celebrate her ah ma's 87th birthday, it was fun to see the lion dance and we also spent time playing uno with her nieces and also playing bingo with her family. it was fun :)

Year of the Dragon - Part 1

   

Spent the first day of new year on house visits, visiting my grandmother and also my maternal side of the relatives. Headed over to Sunny's grandmother house during the evening for dinner. It was quite fun, having his aunts teasing him and telling me his childhood stories and showing me his childhood photos. We had steamboat, watched telly, and had a few rounds of mahjong before leaving with sunny to come back to my house!
 
         

Played a few rounds of blackjack and also mahjong till 2am! Was fun and such a tiring long day!

Thereafter, spent the second day heading to our godmother house in the afternoon for steamboat lunch. Her food was good as always!



Plum juice she gave me for my sore throat.

Stayed awhile before heading to Sunny's house to 拜年! Ate ANOTHER round of steamboat with his family; the food was really too good to resist! Watched Step Up 2 and played the computer for a bit before leaving to cousin's house at night! Haven't seen them for a while and it was nice. Managed to find out more about them, and wanted to play MJ with them but the adults occupied it :( Hope to see them soon, not on an annual basis!

Spent the third day at home - catching up on my lessons cos i had skipped a few, and went dinner at night w family for lou hei and crab~ Dad says we should make it as a tradition to do it every year. :)






























Spent Friday night with all my friends up at my house, eating steamboat, playing games and watching running man on telly! They made so much noise (especially ricky) and it was nice to hear the house full of laughter. I thank them all for coming and hoped everyone left bloated!!! Shall save that post for next time. Look out for Part 2!

Chinese New Year; Prelude

 

Spent the days before CNY having reunion dinners - one with my maternal side of the family and the other at home. During CNY eve, we helped with some of the praying stuff and also 守岁 at night, by playing w sparkles despite the rainy day, and also pigging out at home; watching 贺岁片 on telly or painting nails while snacking. Was fun and fruitful.
