~*~ Happy CNY 2008 ~*~
I know this post is very late. But but, it's still the CNY festive season! So CNY is still not over cos it's 15 days long and I still have chances to collect hongbaos.. hohoho.. the thought of it feels great! Unlike my friends from China, they are considered as working le and they need to give hongbaos liao. Their hongbaos super loaded with cash one loh... but they don't anyhow give hongbaos to just anyone la, they give to very close relatives only la. Think the market rate of hongbaos (from your relatives and other married adults excluding your parents) in Singapore ranges from $4 to $12 bah... so far, I have yet received $2 one cos it reflects not so well la especially the giver is quite well-to-do.
A simple summary of my happenings:
Eve of Eve ~KBox 7-10pm with my cutey sis.. haha Got the itch to go sing..
Eve ~Steamboat lunch at Dennis' place ~Steamboat + BBQ at my 3rd aunt's place (brought Dennis for the 1st time) BBQ-ing abalone is so tasty! Feeling so welcome by YaoYao (my cousin's 1year-old doggie)... oh my I want a doggie!!
Day 1 ~Morning house-visiting (1st aunt's and 2nd aunt's places) Had lunch at 2nd aunt's place. First time of using disposable plates there cos water supply cut off for the residential area. Realised that all the Rats (me and my 2 cousins, all of the same age) have permed hair... wad a trend.. hohoho... ~Evening + dinner at my ah gu's (mum's bro) place Had nasi lemak. Almost full attendance (all except 2 family members) for the first time... the most number of hongbaos collected at one stop.. hohoho... big big family cos my grandparents (no longer around) had 11 children. It's very hard to get everyone (of all generations) to gather together and we made it! ~Night activities (4th aunt's "casino" opens) Haha~ my mum's generation played world pool and casino-style blackjack. Younger generation play big 2 and mahjong (no money involved)
Day 2 ~Watched CJ7 with Dennis and his family Went to his aunt's place for homevisting.
Day 3 ~To my cousin's Brenda's place (housewarming) Brought Dennis to see my maternal side relatives for the first time. ~Went to my xiao gu's (mummy's younger bro) place To see the parrot.. and waited for it to say "Cashew nut" (its fav)
Day 4 ~Annual visit to Huang Lao Shi's (Sec 2 class form teacher) place Got cute baby (3 months old) to interact with. Mini class lunch at Jack's place.. had their CNY meals.. the steak is very yummy.. medium rare...approximately $18 for the meal. ~Visited Dennis' buddies' place Haha~ pretty interesting la, 1st time visiting his friends' houses during CNY. New experience.
Day 7 (Ren ri) ~Dinner with my cousins (+Dennis) First time that we gather like that. Had a sumptous and wonderful dinner at Raffles City's Shokudo Japanese Food Bazaar Restuarant at the basement. Super good lei... the style like Marche except that it has Japanese zest in it. My virgin bar visit loh... 1st time in a bar. Went to Long Bar to chill out. Had apple-flavoured alcoholic drink.. not very nice... should have ordered the Singapore Sling (a signature drink representive of Singapore too) which all the angmoh tourists were having.. haha~ I think my cousin's Vodka sour is much nicer!!
Day 8 (V-day) ~Bday celebration of Dennis' grandma Unique way of celebrating V-day..
Feeling: Very happy but physically exhausted.
P.S.: Hope to upload some pics in this post... need to wait for my sis to load the pics...
