Happy Lunar New Year to everyone!!!
CNY went by so quickly and now its back to school. The holiday mood was getting to me already and when I had to go back to school today I felt so sad..
Anyway, this CNY has been alot more happening than all my previous years put together. Usually, I my visiting would be done by 3 in the afternoon. I just have to go to my grandfather's house and that's it. That's because we don't really know our extended family, in fact, I dun think I have even seen any 2nd cousins. So I jus have to visit my dad's side where everyone will gather at my grandfather's house, while my mom's side, there isn't really anyone.
Anyway, as I was saying..this CNY is different from all other CNYs for many reasons...
Firstly, this year there is mahjong! Yes, I just picked up the game seriously last june and I have been hooked since. So after the scrumptious reunion dinner my mom whipped up, I went over to alex's house for mahjong to show my filial piety for my parents. Why? Cos mahjong thru the night, then I stay up late, which translates into longevity for my parents! Good son huh...
Next, this year I had a lot more visiting to do. Went to grandfather's house and dad's fren's house on the first day. So the extra house visit notched us an extra ang pow. Wasn't too interesting since we din know most people there. Luckily the kids were watching 'Exorcist' and that helped kill some time while the adults fraternised.
Then, that night I decided to hop on down to zouk on the instigation of Jane once again. First time there on CNY, thought it would be fun...But...I was wrong. It turned out to be the worst zouk night ever. It was packed! (though less packed than some other times I've seen) And this time I actually queued. Din get to cut queue unlike all other times when someone was in the queue nor was ryan ard to bring me in by the fast lane. It started out well inside phuture, bought loads of drinks. Trini was getting drunk double quick time...and the crowd was coming in triple quick...Was getting squashed cos we were by the bar and the crowd was going past us constantly. Could barely move. The crowd got to me and after a while I got sick of it so I went out to grab a bite by the snack bar. Then, the night got worse. I was chewing on my sandwich when my braces wire broke. -_- Totally killed my mood for the rest of the night. So i told minimingmong to msg me when he wanted to leave while i waited outside for him. luckily leon came to join me so not so boring. Anyway, we left early and I am definitely never going zouk again on a public hol. And, forgot to mention that organiser Jane disappeared after stepping into zouk for 5 mins. Must have been her ploy to trick us there...heh
2nd day of CNY, went for a special house visit. Went to Pingpong's house. My long time friend. It was a reunion for my parents and her's since they haven't met in eons. So the story goes that Pingpong has a really interesting dad, who's called Bucks. First thing I saw him, I shook his hand and he spinned me 360 degrees like a ballerina and then nodded in approval, leaving me dumbfounded. Later he explained that he was checking if I was wearing an earring. Luckily I decided not to that day. Hah. Apparently he doesn't like guys who wear earrings. The other time when Pingpong had her bday party at her house, her dad told all the guys to take of their earrings! And when he saw the photos, he saw me with mine on and told pingpong that he missed me! hehehe...so this time he made sure he checked me throughly.
Then, another thing happened moments after I met him. He told my parents that I am a 'Stingy Fart' and my brother is a 'Playboy'. *lost look*. Later, he explained... He said..."this one go out with my daughter, ask her to pay half the cab fare! so he is a Stingy Fart! the other one go out with my daughter and 2 other girls at one time, so he is a Playboy!" *deadpans* Before everyone starts to believe that I am a stingy fart, lemme explain. I took a cab with pingpong to zouk before I believe, and with others pple too! so we shared the cab fare. and my brother went out with pingpong and she called 2 of her frens along. So...that somehow translates into Stingy Fart and Playboy. Interesting. Seems like pingpong has been telling Uncle Bucks all about us...complaining rather...no more cab rides with pingpong!
So anyway, I had my fun at their place irritating the shit out of pingpong while our parents chatted...then some where along the way I heard him asking my mom to check if I wear purple underwear...(*????*) he asked her to check if i am gay. So I became a Gay Stingy Fart. -_-
Before we left, Uncle Bucks warned me not to terrorise pingpong anymore, otherwise he will use his dunno what belt in taekwondo on me...seems like I have to get a better belt than him before I start terrorising pingpong again!
Anyway, we took a photo together to remember our reunion...was an interesting time with Uncle Bucks i must say...Next time I return, I will have my taekwondo black belt prepared! (notice I am rather reserved in my entry this time cos I know pingpong show's my blog to her parents! Hello uncle and auntie!!! heh)
Parting shot: Uncle Bucks, U never give me angpow...STINGY OLD FART!
(heh...couldn't help being so reserved...)
So that's quite all for my CNY so far...think might have a bit more visiting tmr...and SAF decides to give me a special angpow too...they might mobilise my unit tomorrow...bloody hell...
Didn't take much pics during the new year though...but...a couple of weeks ago at a family gathering....
The 3 musketeers decided to show their unity...
Yeap, thats me, my dad and minimingmong. We didn't plan to wear these shirts...seriously...it was pure coincidence...it was so hilarious we decided to stick with it and not change out of it...hah... A soviet communist, china communist and a swiss
My cousins...who are all older than me, my bro and sis (on my right) except for that intelligent (i refrain from saying toot) looking little cousin of mine in yellow...heh..
Finally...I love my food..
If u thought that was bad....look at what I found in pingpong's house?!
