in a mere less than a flash, FIVE straight days of fun passed. really, why does time whizz pass when i am savouring every moment in delirium? friday's 'girls night out' with four-fifth of the bo-law club; saturday's lunar new year eve reunion; sunday's, monday's and today's festive season celebrations. all these are gone. and i will perhaps not be able to enjoy such kind of enormous gathering in a long time to come. this time next year, i'll be stuck in london, memorising statues. ):
friday was another great towning time. our traditional finger guessing game was played again. but this time, we visited great world city. seems like that place loves our camera because the
pictures turned out quite well. except, of course, mrs c lai's incapability of taking un-shaky pictures. we had dinner at country mana, and i love the food. the waiter was cute too!! (: as usual, we visited the cinema to get pop-corns without watching a movie. even the booth lady was amused.
saturday was spent watching 'i not stupid too'. the movie was hilarious at the beginning, but turned dreary towards the end when everyone started crying and future seemed bleak. in a way, it was educational. but it kind of deters people from wanting to have children since they portrayed bringing kids up to be extremely difficult. reunion dinner was typically steamboat. that pretty much summed up my lunar new year's eve. it was mornique's birthday anyway. but since we already celebrated her birthday at jack's place the previous sunday, there was not much of birthday atmosphere for her, sadly.
sunday was the first day of the lunar new year. obviously, visiting big aunt's home was first, as always, on the agenda. my niece, cherilyn, is so adorable. after which, we went to pasir ris (also a prevalent practice) to while the afternoon away. the bo-law club was bored to death there. it was overcrowded with people and food didn't taste good. i guess the fun came only when we played finger guessing game and aunt karen made us an extremely hideous-tasting oat-looking drink. it was disgusting with a capital 'd'.
monday was cool because calysta and cassandra came over to visit, after not visiting for many years. we bummed around at east coast park (i drove there!!) and visited the bayshore, much to m lai's and c lai's delight. ((: on our way back, cassandra waved to a truckload-full of indian workers!! they were staring at her, which made mandy and her laugh non-stop, wrecking havoc in my car. these two are perpetual citizens of bedlam.
today's spectacular event would be sending jun wei off to new york. he is going there to work and his work place is near times square. so envious. now i have somewhere to bunk at when i want to visit new york. it was quite a teary affair when he walked pass the departure gates. my mom and aunt karen cried. so, i presume that my mom will bawl her eyes out like crazy when i leave for london. aww.
a random fact: this lunar new year was spent prevalently at the east. happy woofy lunar new year, everyone!!
unforgettable quote from cousin wei xuan, when the bo-law club wanted to visit east coast park: if it's compulsory, my mommy will definitely allow.
gong xi fa cai!!
