This chinese new year is the first out of my many years overseas that feels more like a proper new year. Since the time that i moved to singapore, I did not go 拜年 except that once at yinyue's place during JC.

There were many "first time" during this new year =)

The day when i tagged along with his mom to go for gorcery shopping for the first time, it was also the first time i went over to his uncle's house and visited his 94 year's old ah ma. She is really healthy and strong at her age! But there are some communication barrier coz she can only speak hokken and i would not really understand much with my limited vocabs... I can totally understand how he felt when i talk to my mom. lol.... all canto, BUT he is learning fast and can understand most of the time when i am not speaking like bullet train. I like his ah ma coz she is always smiling when she see me and she is v friendly. And she told me to come again next time for more visits =) love it. oh... and she told me to learn hokken too =.= so is my mom hahaha. mom said it's useful if i am going to stay on in sg. Guess i should buck up in learning more hokken - dear u better teach me well. lol.

I was also invited to a reunion dinner at dear's place first time =). His mom keep reminding me every now and them for the steamboat dinner =) it was good! and I enjoyed the dinner and it was fun watching movies with his family. First time after we have been together for 3year+ yea. oh but too bad that he was yet to be invited to mine... hm... actually mine is nth special. It's just that every year dad will come over and we eat dishes that are cny related... mom's cooking, with more expensive ingrediants and longer cooking time. lol. but i love my mom's cooking! no one can cook like she does! Hm... I sorta told him to come if he dun mind. lol. for chu yi... lol. but i think OTOT ba. =p

ohoh! and it was also the first new year in singapore that i get that many ang baos! most from his family (ah ma, mom and sis) =D It has been long since i got angbaos directly from the person - every year i get my share from relatives in hk via "papa's shipment" lol. ya lah he collected then bring over for me and larry. It still feel good to recieve ang baos even tho i din go bai nian. lol. and it just get better if u can actually visit the family. I hope we could have class tuan bai next year, where we go our classmates house to bai nian with the class. That will be so much more fun!

chu yi poor dog, no one pei him, so i went out to walk the dog and dine with him at mos. We wore pink!!! lol. so cny.

chu er, when i woke i was rushing to finsihing watching 赤壁 (Red Cliff), so that i can chase for the 下集. Suay ar, i din see dear's sms that he was ready since 1300, then i only started watching around that time also. by the time i finsihed it was 4pm. We hoped to catch the 7pm show at vivo. But by the time we went down, dear was already in the quene for 25mins and he said Red cliff sure no good seats when its our turn. And yea not only no good seats, but left only 1 seats at 7pm slot and we are not considering the 10pm one coz its just way too late! so i suggested Inkheart at 9pm. Then the guy told us it end around 11pm, i was not sure if to take it or not, well in the end we did. So meanwhile we went for Carl's jr dinner... his feel like eating. I was fine... coz food court all closed and i had subway too often when i was overseas. Other fastfood are just not gd enough. Slow food cost too much. Kim Gary is not exactly good for hker's taste buds. And there are no cheap jap food around. lol. Dinner was funny with stupid faces, both his and mine. and he keep taking my bacons! The avocado burger was not as nice as the mushroom burger that he has... the beef chilli cheese fries was good though. i think better than superdog's one. overall, carl's is more value for money compare to superdog, really.

Inkheart was OK only if u asked me. Tho there are some breathe-taking scene (if u are as kiddo as me), but overall its draggy and lack the central hero role which will take the story to tis height. Some plots were abit cliche and predictable, which will kill those like me who would then be unimpressed by half of its tricks. The effects were good, and sometime was funny. But really, i think the story lack an aim and the plot is like here-and-there. I feel somewad "suppressed" when i was watching - if u know wad i mean. I guess its like an extract from the book, that sort of Harry Potter or Twilight movies that loses some of the essences of the story. But if u wan a fantasy movie these days, go for it, coz i guess its one of the better movie out in the cinema for the time being. =)

chu san, wake and packed some clothes and was sorting + deleting photos from hdds. Yue came bai nian and then i went dinner with family then went over to her place bai nian. Overall quite a good day. lol. Din see dear coz he had sch and tuition at night. =| and i had a hard time packing... (and am suppose to repack it now but can't help sticking to the com coz i will not have internet for the next 1 month... at least).

chu si, wake early and did sorting for photos again. hm... then have been waiting for dear to come pick me up for lunch... =.= suppose to have lunch around 1+ 2 ended up 2.41 then reach and 3.15 then had lunch at waraku ecp. Coz i really wan to eat more jap food before i go back =( wasai in adelaide is abit too pricy for the quantity tho there is quality. And sushi train is simply ex - not worth the money. So we did have some good food, erm. but extremely food like that time at cathy (i like that restaurant more! coz we had good food there, but that was a bit ex too, at least was v filling). then only reach his place around 5+... then an hour later he told me that we are gg to his ah ma's place for 撈起! surprise surprise... coz i never 撈魚生 before and that's their tradition here in sg. So it's quite an experience and quite fun to be there. Happy to tag alone again. Dinner was good and the doggie there likes me too! 2nd time i saw her and she remembered me. Keep licking my hand and wants me to play with her, erm scratch her belly most of the time. Ah ma din let us help with the cleaning after dinner, and we were told to sit down and watch TV. Oh TV, once i start staring i will just keep staring.. lol. Din stay there v long, headed back to his place around 8+ coz we have to sort photos and clear hdds. =.= chores that i procastinated till now. So nite ends there with dear sending me home.

Chu wu, today wake quite late. keep waking now and then but utimately wake around 12. din sleep well, wake with headaches and stuff. and there i am in front of the com since i wake up. Checking emails, facebooks, blog and trying to do as much with the internet and also sorting pics most of the time again. okey will log off in 5 coz larry need internet and i better pack finsih before 6 so i can go dinner with family and meet up with dear later on! and tmr i better read journels on the flight else i would be quite dead meat! have to decided the project tonite and give my Dr. a reply before i leave! ARGH still so many things to do and the thing i hate is always organsing and sorting because there is only sub-minimial difference in the pics that i take and packing of clothes its just difficult when the temperature fluacutrates so often! okey... off i go. I hope to spend more time with dear tmr =) so buck up now! tata
