morning, went to pay our respects to my ah gong, went back to ah ma's place by noon. played hosts to the visiting people, and talked to a few of my relatives [whom i kinda had no idea how we were related, but thats beside the point since i always see them during cny. hehe. on further discussion with cousins and parents, we came to the conclusion that those families were the extended families of my ah ma's brother. yea. ] in the meantime, since there were a few amazing race addicts in the house, we managed to catch the last half hour of the amazing race 6 live on axn amidst the loud voices that perpetuated the entire small living room. it was rather like watching moving figures on the tv box, and straining to catch what the remaining three pairs were saying. kris and jon dint win! *grumbles* oh wells. the new season starts 2 march! whee i cant wait. meanwhile i can just satisfy myself with american idol. grin. then moved off to wai po's house at ard 2 plus, rather early i thought. but not as my mum claims to be. turned out we werent the earliest to reach. si yi and her entourage of daughters-with-boyfriends/husbands were there alr. one was commenting that she felt weird giving out angbaos, cuz she just got married last year (: she looked pretty (: but then again, all my female cousins are pretty (: slowly everyone came around, and the highlight of the day was when elvin announced that he has got himself a girlfriend, while on the other side of the house, his mum was telling her sisters [i.e. my aunties and mummy] that no, elvin does not have a gf. hahahahaha. immediately, exclamations of surprise and shock filled the room and everybody started bugging for information. like how they bugged justin too. hahaha. damn funny la. was super amused. then the entire entourage of families [by then alot of people were in the small living room and there was barely space to stand nor sit] moved down to the 7th floor where my xiao jiu and his family was located. stayed there for bout half hour, then moved to the fifth floor where eileen and family awaited us! haha. my gossip partner-in-crime (: watched tv, talked to elvin who happily plopped himself beside me for a while as we talked about school, got squeezed in between elvin and elton ): grin. dinner time! eileen and her family cooked one wonderful dinner! yummy (: brought food to eileen's room and started talking.. my sis and cheryl got so super bored by us [cuz we were talking about people we knew back from hwachong] and went over to the other room. that was when the fun began when we started gossip researching! hahaha. our tool in crime, friendster. muahaha. talked for a hell long time, when we finally went home just in time to catch channel 5's amazing race. (: and promptly fell asleep in the last half hour of the AR6. hee.

CNY Chu Er

happily thought we werent going visiting in the morning, hence snuggled deeply into my bed when my mum tried to wake me up at 8. she dragged me out and proclaimed we were going leave house by 9am. nuts! went house-a-visiting and went back to the same lao gu's place who came to ahma's place yesterday. did nothing much there really, except when my mum and dua mu started saying me and weiling cuzzie really looked very alike. came from the same mould from our ah gong, whereas my sis and weiping took the genes of my ah-ma. hahaha. then popped over to justin's place for a while which was just a few blocks away in cck. talked to ah-yi and uncle who were telling my parents the pros of getting cable. and thereby i promptly announced that if they were really gonna get cable, AXN is on my list of channels. hahaha. went back to ahma's place and met my little cuzzies!! more like, i think they are my cousins, distantly related [by how i dont know], but they were simply sooo cute! ahh. nicole, naomi, nadine and nicholas. my sis declared nicholas as her boyfriend. while naomi thought i was pretty and wanted me to make her as pretty as me, which led to me suggesting i chop my head off for her and she squealed in disgust. grin. hastily realised that waipo and group were coming over to our house at 2 plus and i had to be home by then, i made for fishball's place immediately (: and felt quite out of place there considering half her anat group plus tutor were there and i knew no one cept for joycie, kaihong and khaiwei. mm. of course, stuck to joycie the entire time but i had a fun time there (: nian chu er with two of my most wonderful friends (: took pictures, played with poppop and sotsot, forgot to bring notnot over, her mum's mee siam and cheesecake were wonderfully delicious! rushed home after that, wai po and people came along, entertained eileen by letting her hear budak pantai! (: then we all went down to ahyi's place at taman jurong after that. was watching "when a man becomes a women" with all the cousins, except for elvin who was busy with his gf cuz he brought her over under the insistence of every single auntie and uncle. muahahaa. quite pretty, the naively innocent sweet girl under the first impression. looks like a very very nice person. ntu year 2 acct student. (: then we played some magic cards in ahyi's bedroom and had lots of fun cooking up kok stories for each other with whatever kok predictions the cards came up. eileen, TAKE INITIATIVE! hahahaha. mine went sth like "the guy hasnt fallen in love with you yet, he only has good feelings for you so far. then, i must take hold of chances to ensure success" then the third one went sth like "a breakup is imminent, so just face the music." that was for my love life. erm. im not attached, so where's the imminent breakup? grin. but twice the cards predicted i was careless, which is rather accurate. but overall, we decided the pack of cards are kok. hahaha. then we got too caught up watching mulan, and laughing at the stupid jokes mushu [you know the dragon character? grin.] was making in the movie. hahaha. and that was the end of day 2.


Today school starts, but new year hasnt quite ended for me. yet. think today's the last day. supposed to go to dua mu's place. BUT i have bgs. ): blearh. and MA meeting. but joining my cousins for ktv-ing later in the evening till the wee hours of the morning. first time going ktv-ing with my paternal side, wonder how the experience will be like. if you were to tell me 3 years ago, that i'd be doing sth like this 3 years down the road with my paternal cousins, i wouldnt have believed it. but now. i suppose things have changed alot, for the better (: someday, i will grab eileen out and we can go shopping-gossiping-eating-movie watching together (: so that we cant say, the only times we see each other is during new year and waipo's birthday. lalala. dont you agree? [cuz i know you're reading this! hee.]
