First time
Wah, alot of first times thingy happened today for eg, driving to pa, going to jumpo for dinner and also playing nintendo Wii. Firstly, my bro booked a table at tanah merah Jumpo to celebrate yuan xiao and at the first moment, I was stunned. It is cos I tot the place will be very expensive as it is inside the Safra Resort and it is mainly for eating of seafood one. BUT, it is not tt ex as it costs lik around 151.15 for 6 person with dishes like butter prawns, chilli crab, seafood tofu, veggie and deer meat.
Then, since i tot pa prac will end around 530 to 6 so I suggested to drive car to pa so i can go home easier and faster and out of shock, they allow me to drive sia!!! Anyway, it wasnt nth much lo... same old road and same old place but just tt pa ended unusually early so actually, having a car or not doesnt really make much of a diff.
I guess the biggest shock/surprise today is tt my bro and sis actually really went to buy a nintendo Wii and its games which i guess will cost around 500 plus ba. We had really alot of fun playing the tennis, boxing and we really perspire alot sia. As usual, my crazy bro and sis will shoot videos on us playing which will make the players laugh while playing lo. evil sia!! =X
Anyway, i will upload the photos/videos if my sis upload and edits them =)

Last day
Today is the last day of chinese new year, the fifteen of the lunar calendar which is also known as the Yuan Xiao. As a very traditional family, my mum will sure whipped or come out some dishes to have a nice ending and to symbolise the end of chinese new year. Of course, tang yuan is a must during yuan xiao so my mum made a soup of tang yuan(those made of only flour and no fillings inside) to mean tuan tuan yuan yuan for the family. =) Then, my mum also made a pot of shark fins which is comparable to the resturant(perhaps ours is cheaper in cost?) and the 3 of us drank a big bowl of it. Shuang! As for the dinner, it was nothing much but roasted duck and those stuff cos we made offerings.
Besides the shark fins and the tang yuan, there wasnt much things tt had happened today cos nobody actually celebrate yuan xiao. But nevertheless, I am still very happy today cos it is thurs today and is near to weekend!! =) Thats it for all, so everyone and their family tuan tuan yuan yuan! =)

Long long break
Indeed, it was a long long break from blogging as well as from work due to the CNY holidays which lasted for 4 days. Although as said in previous entry, it was supposed top be a rest, it wasnt really a rest because I slept at around 3 am every from wed till sun(except sun) and woke up rather early like around 9 plus?? maybe slightly later. Noe the reason y?? I was hooked onto a hongkong drama series to the extent that i finished the whole 40 epsoides in the 4 days holiday!! It was really very nice and I slimply the love the show!
Although there is not much CNY atmosphere, it was a good gathering with relatives especially those u very long never c and i guessed i laughed quite much by listening to the elders chatting with each other. Though it was 4 days, it passes rather fast and I went to work for 2 days already. =(
Anyway, i had learnt something from the show which is there is always time for something like there is time for happiness, saddness, playing, studying etc. Wah!! quiter late liao... byebye

CNY
Wah, I just came back from CNY shopping at sheng siong but apparently, dunno wats the reason, there isnt many pple around shopping. Worse is tt they nvr stock out on soft drinks so there are not many drinks left selling at the tent. Only 2 days left and although my house is well decorated with red colour everywhere, i do not sense any CNY atmosphere or I do not even have the mood. Nevertheless, it is really a gd and long holiday for me to have a gd rest.. Yawnz.. sleeping liao.. bye!!!

Busy weekend
Well, this weekend is considered a rather busy one because apparently i had less than 8 hrs of sleep in the weekend(friday and saturday). After the pa prac, we decided to go for supper since we din have much things on the next day except going to Escape in the afternoon and friday is mostly the time to go out and enjoy after a long and tiring week at work/school. So, as usual, we went to Bedok the blk 85 market as it was the nearest/cheapest and nice place to eat and also partly i drove on tt day so no need worry abt the cab fare. Well, there is price to pay for
going out for supper which is to reach home very late( i reached home at 2am)
As planned, we went to Escape on sat since laoda had alot of free tickets and there is no pa prac yesterday so he jio-ed the pa pple out to play. Supposedly, 1130 is the meeting time but everyone was late except bernard and laoda and I reached downeast around 1230. Then we only went in Escape at around 2 plus due to the rain and us being late. It was a relatively small group of pple only got me, laoda, pinyan, meiting, andy and bernard as harry and jingqi din turn up the last min. It was rather boring but heng, andy was around cos all of us were quite entertained by his expressions.
Later at night, I split with the pa pple cos i meeting my 'family'(kantang and owy) for the reunion dinner as well as to celebrate for wenyun's belated birthday. Due to many coincidences, they ended up eating the sakae supper buffet which is the same venue as the pa pple.
it was rather happy to have almost full attendance for the reunion dinner except limin cos this dinner seems to be a gathering for us every year and i were glad tt everyone makes time for it. =) We also bought a cake(very nice!!!) from nydc for wy and celebrated for him in sakae( guess he was quite paiseh/embarrassed)
Wow, it is a very long entry so i shall stop now.. But be4 tt , i shall say tt i am very fortunate to have this 2 grps of friends(payco and owy/kantang) Meet up soon k? cya!
