Happy Chinese New Year!

Hi...Happy chinese new year to all!!!

I'm back to my blog, after resting for a month...lol

Jan was quite a hectic month for me cos I had my exams and projects to do. Hopefully, I'll pass my exams and my Final Year Projects(which is a pain in the a** =X).

So finally, Feb came and I've finished my exams. Now, its time to find a job(hopefully, a full-time one and pays better), and also wait for my enlistment -.-"

This year's chinese new year was a good one because I had a lot of fun!
During sat, the eve of chinese new year, my family had a reunion dinner. Its been a long time since I ate my mum's fried bee hoon, its still as good as before, thou my sis and mum kept saying that its not salty enough, but I think its quite ok already, oh well... There were sweet and sour sauce prawns, fried sotong balls and my fav shark fins soup! Quite a meal I must say...hehe
I stayed up until 4am before I went to sleep and had to wake up at 8am the next day.

On Sun, which is the first day of chinese new year, we ate lotus paste buns for breakfast. There was a preview channel on SCV so my sis and I were quite glued to the TV screen, my mum even had to drag my sis to bath...lol
After bathing, I wore my new clothes which I bought, spent my entire salary on those clothes, it had better look nice on me or else...haha
In the end, we were the last to go to my 3rd uncle's house(from my mother's side, well you cant differentiate Uncles and Aunts much with English). My 1st uncle was pretty rude, his family left before we even came. Well I thought he could at least stay awhile longer for us to reach first and talk a bit with her sister...but, oh well, I guess he had something important to do, heard his cab had an accident or something. What I mind most is the Hong Bao I've missed...lol
But the house visitng went quite well and I sure am happy to meet my relatives this year. There was not much scrutinization, except for the "when are you going for NS" question. The most shocking thing is to see one of my cousin, who changed so much after only a year. His hair is reddish gold in color, and he has grown bigger in size, looks like a Ah Beng...lol. But luckily his still the same cousin I knew a year ago...haha. I'm actually quite shock that my 3rd uncle is like suddenly so concern with my future...lol

For the 2nd day of chinese new year, I went to my 6th aunt's house(from my father's side). I had the most fun that day because all of them were very cheerful and there were not much scrutinization from them. I went to my cousin's room and she renovated her room quite professionally. Her room was in grey,white and black in color.Very futuristic and not at all...cute...lol. My big aunt was the funniest, she was just sitting at the dinning table, eating away, pointing to all the people who came in through the front door, saying this person has grown fatter, that person has slim down, this has grown taller, with her mouth full of fishballs and crabmeats...LOL. She's like an inspector. After she finished her food, she went and sit on the sofa, as she's sitting down, she let out a big "AH~..." sound. It was really funny. One incident was that I found a Hongbao below my feet while my cousins, my sis and I were standing behind the sofa talking and watching TV. But my 3rd Uncle was so professional that one feel of the Hongbao and he can confirm that there's no money inside -.-

I'm such a SAINT to tell them that I've found a Hongbao, but my cousins all 'accused' me that I've took the money and was just showing the empty Hongbao...lol. Then when we went to my cousin's room, still they do not let me off. My older cousin said, "Wils, that's onli a few of your cousins in this room now, you can come clean with us, we promised we wont tell anyone anything." Argh!!! I cant believe that they were still trying to dig the "truth" out...haha
But it was all for laughs only...

The 3rd day was the most memorable day for me.
My secondary school friends and I went to visit each other's house!
It was very fun, we stopped at one house for about an hour, then we move on to another house. But we stopped at my friend, Jason's house the longest because his house is SOOO big, and we watched Superman Returns with his surround sound system...lol
But some of my friend and I were playing majong and watching superman at the same time. I can tell you it was so stressful!
Cant wait for saturday...

Alright, all I've written were the shortened versions of what really happened. If I wrote every single detail, I'll need to find a publisher.

That's all for today!
see you...
