新年快乐！
It's Chinese New Year again! This should be one of the best CNY ever, spending it with her. Let's go through the events!
On the eve of New Year's Eve, went with her to meet her father at Clementi Mall Macdonalds for a small talk followed by having our dinner-for-two at Ramenten. The food there is not fantastic and nothing to write home about but still enough to fill your stomach. A meal there is also not cheap - both of us spent S$52 on the meal itself. I guess I'm going broke very soon. =X
New Year's Eve was started with work (which turned out to be quite relaxing) till 1pm and headed straight home for Reunion Dinner. Since a few years ago, I am in charge of most of the preparations of the Reunion Dinner which is very fun! Cutting the ingredients, putting them into bowls, preparing the stock for steamboat etc etc... I can improve my cutting skills every year! Drank some pure Chivas but it did not turn out very good and I turned a little bit tipsy at the beginning of the dinner but thankfully I managed to recover and drank Baileys instead. The night concluded with some more chatting on msn with her and sleeping at around 3am.
大年初一 I woke up at around 11.30am and ate some beehoon and leftovers from last night's steamboat. It seems to be the case every year! I can say that the leftovers from steamboat does not taste very good. =/ Went out for 拜年 and it seems like the only day that I go visiting is the first day. Got lots of angbao today. Largest angbao from my dad, S$120! Second will of course be from my mum, S$100! Others ranged from S$4 to S$40. Halfway through the second house went out for a chat with her on the phone. Missing her dam lots since Tuesday and it seem like the next time we will be meeting is next Tuesday for alumni practice. Went to jie's house to sit sit also and tried booking my Emirates ticket from her computer. The system keeps giving me problems and in the end I had to make a 30 minute phone call to their call centre to get it settled. I shan't go into details about it. However, I can say that 正月初一起死人 about the booking. I am a First Class passenger and this is happening, what happens if I am in Economy Class?
Here comes the second day of CNY and I have already decided to stay home for the whole day to slack and recharge my batteries. She asked me if I wanted to meet her at Vivo to slack and immediately I agreed. Met her and off we go into Vivocity! Walked around like 2 headless chickens not knowing where to go until we finally settled down in Starbucks. Took out my laptop and we had a look at all the 85 photos we got tagged together in Facebook and laughing at those funny ones. Seems like almost all the photos are from the DXF. Heh. =) Waited for bus 30 at the bus stop and I can say it was hell in there since it was super crowded and people were smoking right next to the bus stop! The bus was a pity single deck old fashioned bus and of course it was packed like sardines. Even the bus captain said the bus was overloaded! Imagine how many people were there in the bus! had a hard time moving from the front to the back of the bus throughout the ride and when we moved to the back, it was already time to alight! There was also this woman that refuses to move in and is standing at the exit row seats hugging the pole so tightly that it might run away if she lets go. Can't you just move your big butt in? I intentionally knocked my butt to unbalance her! Slacked at the bench below her house after arriving at her house and noticing that we actually overshot a stop. Parted our ways and now waiting for next Tuesday to see her again. =)
Since it's CNY, how can we do without CNY songs? Here are 3 songs from the Malaysian channel, Astro, CNY album named as 天天好福气.
