CNY - 4 Days

Phew... finally have time to sit down and type something... It was really hectic to have CNY 4 days in a row... but come to think of it... when we dun get a long weekend... we will grumble... when we finally get a long weekend... we will also grumble. haha! It was really tiring lah!


Slept at 2am on the cny eve night.. and wake up 8am... started out our journey for the day... to san-jiu's house first, then to dua-gim's house... then back to my house.. then to sa-zim-bo's house, then to kor-po's house... and back to bedok.... doesn't sound a lot... but tiring... i think the most 'exciting' part was when we were leaving dua-gim's house for my house? All of us squeezed into san-yi's pick-up... like a total of 16 ppl?! Incredible lah... just that the vehicle really moved very slowly along the road... and the vehicle seems to be leaning back cos the back got more ppl. lol. But i always liked spending time with this grp of family... though there are always some ppl who should not be mentioned =x... there are very lovely ppl in the family also... and i really must say that i felt closer to this grp of ppl! :))) But i forgot to take pictures! hahaha. i'm really forgetful lately. =x


Then back to 138 for dinner... once again it's taking bus back alone from tiong bahru while the other 4 took cab back.... but i think this year isn't that bad cos there's new route... then at night at our house again... waited till abt 12am waiting for 2 families to come... but didn't come in the end... so waited until very tired.. and in the end still slept very late... dotx.

2nd day.. went 138 again for usual lunch with the BIG family. like really BIG. they counted. there were a abt 72 ppl in that 3 and half room flat... super jialat... cos really not enough space to let everyone sit down... so we had to stand around to just eat and watch tv. Used up abt half a day there... finally moved out of the house ard 2pm. Made 5 visits for the rest of the day... my father's cousin's house... then my father's uncle's house, then to my 6th uncle's house, then to 4th uncle's house... and lastly to my father's 3rd aunt's house... the very very big 3-storey house at east coast area... by the time we got home it was 11pm. i even watched the last epi of 东方之珠 at their house. haha.

3rd day i think was the most tiring day? Got of house at 8.30am... went to laoshi's house.. dropped at the wrong bus stop.. walked quite a distance be4 reaching... dotx. luckily we went early where the rest of the ppl not there yet... and so we have place to sit down.. talk to laoshi and his wife... and interact a bit with the children. first time seeing the 4 of them sitting tgt... lol.

Then moved on to circuit rd to my father's first aunt's house... her house very big also... and they so interesting... they have this family tree thing in the house... with all the pictures of the ppl in the family.. a good thing was... all her children were married with children... for this i think it's already a blessing for the family. :) And they are still expanding the family... and of cos.. updating the photos. i think the lim family should have one too! haha. Anyway these father's aunts are from his mother side... so they are the Pek (白) family. Cool right.

Then to kembangan to my mum's cousin's house... not really for visiting but the full month celebration for his son. then bian nian also lah... after lunch er-jie and i proceeded to boonlay (!!!) to jiahui's house for new year gathering with the nusco ppl... played a bit xbox... fav game. haha! i think play how many times also wun feel bored... just that hand will pain. haha! Then to Suyi's house for dinner... Steamboat lor! Be4 that... still got some time cos waiting for more ppl to come.. so played a bit mahjong... and watched them play Wii. really cool... After the dinner... sis got to rush off to airport to send her friend off to australia for study... so dropped me at aunt's house (my only aunt from father side) at kembangan (yes. again) haha. Stayed there till ard 11pm be4 we were sent back as well... dotx. really super tired by then... BUT!!! There's still the 4th day leh!

4th day... 10.30 like that leave home... to grandaunt's house... then to 8th uncle's house.. both at Pasir Ris... i think i haven't been to their houses for the past 2 years or something.. at least not last year... they started talking abt the past where my uncles all helped my grandmother to make all the new year goodies... sounds fun... and i believe those that they make will really be nice... After that went to 3rd uncle's house for lunch... they prepared the best food for cny... haha! Salmon, mashed potato, beef stew, fruit salad, and butter rice (although i dun like the raisins).

Finally it's really the long distance travel to 7th uncle house in Sembawang... they are really the only ppl who doesn't live in the east! but i like their house... so clean and empty.. i like their empty rooms! it's really a pity that they do not have children themselves. cos they are really a very nice couple... if they can give me one of their rooms... i will be more than happy lah! I think er-jie too.. haha!

Last stop... back to bendemeer to san-yi's house... treating us to restaurant... i think we were the last to reach... but be4 we left for dinner... played mahjong for a while... at first already playing on a lost from jiaqi's seat... but in the end only won the last round and at least won back my base. hee. Dinner at this famous fish head pot place at Rangoon Rd. Not bad lah... but was REALLY FULL... full until i also dunno how to say... bloated also lor... returned home and still feeling full till late at night.

Yups. so that's the very eventful weekend for cny. haha! Will update again soon.
