din blog after reunion dinner the last nite...
but man...
it was good...
CNY eve was spent very well...
at least to me...
it felt good to be with my family...
spent the morning shopping for my mom CNY clothes...
manage to choose two tops for her...
after throwing her into the changing room and many many tops to choose from...
bought brooms...
CNY couplets...
had a snack and drink at KFC...
bought almond cookies...
was happy...
coz it wasnt alwaz that i get to spend time with my mom like that...
afternoon was spent clearing up the mess in the visible parts of the house...
expecting guests for reunion dinner and chu yi...
so HAD to make it at least presentable...
put up the deco...
and hongbaos to add to the redness...
was careful not to overdo it though...
shuffled in and out of the kitchen...
preparing reunion dinner with our chief cook...
my domestic help...
auntie su...
mastered the art of peeling prawns...
and taught her how to do it with the shells still perserving its entire original shape...
skilled right??
of coz...
coz its me...
then cut up the cucumber and pork for dad's favourite sambal timun...
cut up the little green stuff for condiments...
man...
i felt so productive...
so useful...
so happy...
think i'm showing signs of a workaholic...
only truly am REALLy happy when i busy myself inside out...
nuthing to do also find things to do...
bleah...
dad will beg to differ...
esp when i procrastinate abt packing up my books...


chu yi was another busy day...
cooking lunch for about 20+ almost 30 pple...
siao siao...
run around the whole kitchen...
but fun lah...
at least i din have to go entertain the little devils who came visiting...
so i survived CNY Day 1 unscathed...
phew...
did interact alot with the little cousins on my visiting rounds...
but luckily...
we din bump into the terrorising bunch...

and she wanted to give me money like alwaz...
both of us so stubborn...
we simply exchanged the notes...

waiting for me to accompany him to the room...
coz he's too SCARED to walk alone in the dark...

this CNY has been a riotious one so far....
have a great feeling that the year of the monkey is gonna be great for me...
even the geomacers said the ox's luck will improve 3-fold...
i certainly hope its true...

Here's wishing all my 'avid' readers a splendid CNY...
May the Year of the Monkey be a swinging good one for you...
