its the 3rd day of chinese new year and im up early! listening to like A1 songs! omg haha yes, that band from eons ago ;p
chinese new year was just rather ok this yr! nothing fantastic.. started with reunion dinner at my paternal grandma's side on new year's eve.. which was as usual, a bearable, if not rather boring affair.. but we had abalone and shark's fin soup made by my grandma, which was i guess, the saving grace of the whole evening haha.. she didnt make any pineapple tarts or keuh bangkit this yr, and all the other imitations (made by some of my other relatives) were not great! i always look forward to her kueh bangkit, but sadly there were none this yr =(
on the first day of chinese new year, i couldnt wake up! haha so we left the house late, which wasnt such a bad thing after all ;p then went over to my paternal grandma's house to bai-nian =) chomped on so much bak-kwa and ate some mee-sua thing (which was quite nice ;p ) haha then we went to soe temple.. and after that went to my maternal great-grandma's house! where i just lazed ard and watched tv..
in the evening my uncle and my grand-aunt came over to my place, and we played mahjong!! haha i would have won a bit of money, if not for the zhi-mo and wu-tai win that my grand-aunt made at the very very final round!! haha but in terms of money losses, i lost less than my dad and my uncle ;p not bad huh! for being the youngest at the table.. maybe i just had a lot of luck! but it was so exciting! i almost gamed with a full colour! its like si-tai!! ;p but my grand-aunt beat me and gamed with something smaller.. haha..
i remember last time when i was younger (yes, i feel rather old haha) my grand-aunt and uncle and grandma would come my place and play mahjong! and all i did was sit beside one of them to watch them play, not knowing what was going on! haha and if my grand-aunt won money, she'll drive down to my place the next morning again and bring us kids to have mac's breakfast ;p haha those were the days where there was a mac's within walking distance of my house.. ahh haha ok reminiscing makes me feel old! =P

alright, today's gonna be a fun day!! haha hopefully not too tiring as i go round visiting people and have people visiting my house..
xin nian kuai le people! =) its the year of the PIG! *oink* ;p
