CNY 2008

Firstly, Happy Chinese New Year to all!

Kind of enjoyed this CNY.. got to catch up with families and friends for the four days. The experience was probably sweeter since I just came back from my overseas exercise =)

(speaking of which, baoyuan the MP spec has reminded me to take down those sensitive pics i've posted of ex bK. yes, sarge. shall do it soon)

初一
Everybody come together for a group photo. The taller maid has left. The shorter one was the first maid we had. She has returned! My dad observed that she has followed our family through every house since the first one in Bishan (bishan, yishun, choa chu kang, back to yishun) Everyone in my extended family was so happy to see her =)

Went visiting as usual.. then all of us gathered at my grandma's house where the adults played mahjong and the younger cousins went to catch a movie.

Film: CJ7 (长江七号)

I give it WoooW (3.0/5)

Gonna cut the review short:
Final-Say: This is many times better than Ah Long Pte Ltd (which I'm going to change my rating to 1.5/5). The alien (CJ7) itself is damn adorable and although the movie is definitely not as good as Shaolin Soccer or Kung Fu Hustle, it still has its funny and touching moments.

Then we went back and played mahjong till mignight.


初二
Ate lou hei for the second time. Then went over to cousin's house for mahjong, again.


初三
Met fungi and serkun in the morning to get a present, then we proceeded to Northpoint to get the steamboat stuff. Since there were only the three of us when we reached my house, Eugene Elicia and Roxane (my cousins) joined us for a round of mahjong before we ate steamboat. Whoa, damn full.

Took this photo before peijun had to leave. The rest stayed-over.

We finished our round of mahjong before fungi taught us her new game which I might've played before. Quite stressful game 'cause we had to form our 'passports' (four consecutive cards of the same suit) first before proceeding in the game. Didn't lose much. Then......

The game In Between. It was damn scary. You know you should be happy when you get cards like Ace + King, or Two + Queen right? But NOO. Everytime someone gets these kinda cards and bet big, we always hit the posts (-.-"). Of course, the pool of money greww.. sickening game, lol.


初四
After Lamerz left at 6:30am I went to catch four hours of sleep before chiong-ing out to meet my primary school friends at Bukit Batok. After everyone arrived then Kenneth told us Miss Ler's (our primary three teacher!) house is nearer to Bukit Gombak. -.- So of course, we went into the station and took one stop.

It's been TEN years since we've met her but she hasn't changed a lot. Still as spunky =) Of course, she couldn't recognise us. Last time she saw us we were still kids leh. Skip our teenage years then now we're adults, of course can't recognise lah!

Really had a lot of fun catching up. I think Kenneth seriously kept a journal for the whole of primary school 'cause he can remember every single sh*t about it!! LOL. But really, it's funny chatting with Miss Ler and catching up with the rest again.

Played BlackJack with Ken the rich man as the banker. No win no lose for me in the end.

Here are the pics:




Then rushed back home in a cab ('cause I was one hour late) to meet baoyuan zirong and yoketeng for (guess what?).. mahjong again. Yoketeng said her hand itchy so play lor. I won $2 in the end. YT was the big winner. Ate beehoon, watched spiderman on tv, then they left.
Took off for today. Got physio tmr! =)

All in all, it was a fun-filled and mahjong-filled CNY. Still enjoying the bak-gua though =P

Take care, peeps!
