cool that it's chinese new year again! cos i will have a long holiday till tue ! ( i think that applies to almost everyone i know). Chinese New Year mood has been dampen. CNY used to be very joyful and full of visitings! maybe it's because my grand dad has passed away and thus my uncles and aunties might not see a point to come together like before. there used to be mahjong sessions at my grandma's place. Now, people come and go. I guess it's like a graph . CNY has its peak when the time is right.
thursday----
we had a reunion dinner in hall. We were given 5 chips (choco coins) to bet and we have to try to win a lot cos it would be useful for bidding. the prizes were 14' inch tv , a fan , a vacuum cleaner , hot plate, speakers and a cooker ! i wanted the speakers so badly cos vidya and i have like lots of movies to watch on our laptop! but because i combined the chips with my friends staying in the same level - we were hoping to bid for the TV! and cos the last item was the tv set, most ppl had chips leftover which were meaningless to them, so they gave it to us. previously , we had 95 chips and later we ended up with 200 chips ! haha! and i was happily bidding lah! the feeling of bidding is damn fun ! moreover it's not real money im using , it's jsut choco coins!! we didnt really bother bout what amt other ppl raised cos i think that we had the most chips on our hands! thus, i got the tv set for just 150 choco coins! okayy , that was the happy part of the dinner.
the ugly part was i cried ! (okayy..that's so embarrassing! ) the lion dance was horrifying lah! i was seated at the front table. i saw my friend waving at me telling me to walk away as i brought the cups filled with fruit punch back. So... i thought it's alright for me to sit at the other table at the far end. BUT i was wronged! one minute after it came out with the blasting loud drums, i started to tremble and teared. my friend brought me out of the function hall. That's it man.. that's it! that would be my last time i would wanna watch a lion dance! :(
friday----
lil fran drove me back home. so glad that there's free ride cos i was carrying loads of stuffs! and i proceeded to bugis with clarclar. it was darn packed! bugis village is somewhere which i wouldnt want to shop unless i really see a need to. SOOOO CROWDED! then we proceeded to orchard. We walked around and at last we saw what clar wanted! and i was telling her i was craving for ice cream. As we cross overr to Lido from Wheelock, we saw chun and jiade lah! such a coincidence! and what's more?! they were heading to swensen's to hve their ice cream too! hhaa. we joined em in the end. friday was really scary , everywhere on the streets of orchard or bugis, we see people we know. we met like more than 10 people we know lah !
but i didnt see michelle! damn you! where have you been !!?! (haha)
