[And CNY]

CNY (Wed):
I always love to go home on CNY's eve, it is almost like u are going back to anticipate something. Last Wed was a hot afternoon. Almost all of the canteens, hawkers stalls were closed. The ones remaining were Malay stalls. But seeing the time is getting late, I decided to skip lunch, luckily a colleague who just came back from Japan bought some nice mochi and Jpn cuisines, if not my stomach will be making havoc.

Reunion dinner this year was steamboat, a change from the past years of cooked dishes. We had prawns, squids, sliced fish, chicken breast meat, pig's liver, vegetables, jin zhen gu and of cause home made chilli. The steamboat soup was made from ikan billis, fish bones and chicken bones. Everything tasted good esp with the home made chilli.

The rest was spent between watching TV and online.

1st day of CNY (Thurs):
Early lunch was braised sea cucumbers and a plate of veg. The sea cucumbers were very good this year cos they were smaller and less stinky. Later in the afternoon, mum and I went down to visit my uncle. Taking 980 was not a very wise choice but the weather was hot and the nearest bus-stop only has 980 which goes down to Thomson. The bus was rather packed since it was late (as usual) and subsequently, hordes of Indian workers flooded the entire bus. But we were lucky to get ourselves out.

It was a short afternoon @ Uncle's place, besides the ang paos almost the entire time was spent watching cable tv. Later more cousins came...and shortly after we went home. Mum wanted to watch some movies but I was tired..so never watched anything in the end.

2nd day of CNY (Fri):
Whole day @ home! Mum went out with her sis. Dinner was fried rice which costed $1 more than normal. zz

3rd day of CNY (Sat):
More cousins came in the afternoon and some more in the evening. Mum bought the KFC Golden Fiesta Set for them, wanted to have home delivery initially but that crack on the phone (cant speak properly and sounded young) said we would have to wait for 90 minutes.

4th day of CNY (Sun):
As it is, @ home...awaiting for the start of another looooooooooooooong week ahead.
