cny celebrations!!
day 1
woke up much earlier then the rest coz i intended to struggle wif my mascara n had a breakfast of all the cny goodies like pineapple tarts n love letters. as usual, we were supposed to go visit the hse wif the big balcony a.k.a tai ma's hse. but as usual, we kids complain tt going there so early wld mean less hongbaos (coz hv nobody there yet rite?) so we whine n moan so mommy changed the schedule. we went ahma hse in the morn instead. as usual, she ply us wif food, food n more food. we sat for a while before heading backwards, back to tai ma's hse. she stay at tamp ma. n guess wat? there was nobody there except por por's family. so no extra red pkts. bahx. we had delicious sandwiches n nasi briyani before going to mommy's uncle hse. the hse was v small so when the 6 ppl frm por por's side plus the 6 of us, we flooded the living rm. n guess wat? more guests came.. abt 5 more ppl. there were no more seats n alot of us had to go stand in the rm. packed like sardines!!! lolx.

aft chatting for a while, admiring great uncle's impressive collection of antique toys n munching on a whole load of pistachios, we left for lunch. kim kim booked tis vege restaurant at the quality hotel n the meal was the best vegetarian meal i ever tasted. the shark fin n abalone taste suprisingly real n the fake prawns hv tis tangy twist. of course, we paid alot of money for juz veg n flour but it was a nice lunch.

aft tt, we took lots of wacky shots wif olivia n angel's new digi cameras. (yeah, both of them got new ones each. rich parents.) =( we adjourned to por por's hse to pai nian n hung arnd n sat in their study chatting wif the kids for quite some time. the adults were gossiping abt god-noes-wat downstairs. soon, we left for hm. olivia took a long time wearing her knee-length boots so the chua family left first. now, tis conversation between uncle jason n trix is damn funny..

uncle: hey brian u wan xbox?
brian: u wan give me?
uncle: yeah. i hv one in the living rm.
trix: wah. u speak like u giving out chocs.
uncle: huh?
trix: lelong lelong, i hv alot of chocs at hm. who want? juz take.

diao. haha. anyway, bri took a command n conquer game which he is v addicted to.. he didn't take the xbox n halo stuff coz its too violent for me to allow it. hehe. they watched 'tom yum goong' at our place. it was v action-packed but kinda gory.. no wonder is nc-16. anyway, i was busy spearing fruits for the fondue while my sis juz sat watching tv. bahx. lazy!! we then had steamboat.. i can't eat seafood so ate frm the vege pot instead.

didn't hv much hongbaos today.. so sad. =(

day 2
nv go visit dad's uncle tis morn coz its bad luck for us to go out today (according to mommy) kinda quarrelled wif mommy tis morn coz she's her usual naggy pms self. irritating. can't even read newspaper in peace w/o her saying "ppl hv daughter to help. mine juz sit there n rot." dammit lah. when i help u seem oblivious to my efforts. the moment i stop, u start bitching. excuse me, its not my party lah. u wanna impress, u wanna show-off, do it on ur own. dun claim all the credit for our wrk n take all the praises of "wow, liana, u muz hv worked soo hard." my foot ar.

soon aft, daddy came hm n his frens started arriving at abt 2pm. somemore, tis yr abit more happening. i played blackjack wif the other kids in the garden (grown-ups play inside.) n won $1.70 wif alisa. we played wif 10 cent stakes n everyone else lost money leh. haha. power... i bet sparks were flying between alisa n ryan. they keep kajiao each other. he's sec 3, she's sec 2 so can lah. he's rich too. lolx. only he's frm victoria n she dun like victoria. well, daddy is a victorian too. ryan's family hv 4 kids. same as us only they hv 3 older boys n one lil gal. complete opp. all the guys r in victoria. (sec 4, sec 3 n sec 1 i tink..) juz like their dad. so loyal. bahx.

alisa: BAO! quick, let me win.
ryan: suay ar. everytime u say then i kenna.
alisa: muahahaha.
ryan: i bet u check the fengshui then sit in the auspicious direction. or mayb, u voodoo us before we come so we wun win.
alisa: u tink wat? hm ground advantage?? wats ur name?
ryan: dun tell u. wats urs?
alisa: dunno.
amanda: tis r my cards but i keep losing thanks to ur sis (ryan's sis keep sabo her by reading out her cards.)
ryan: ur cards nv mrk ar? muz be mrk wrongly so can keep losing. haha. wah, u frm using popular plastic bag of coins change to use old chang kee one ar?
amanda: lose all le ma.

we oso played bluff n alisa spoiled my winning chanes. i almost won. but she keep accusing me. even till then, ryan still kajiao her. haha. (note: they sat nxt to each other..)

ryan: u steal her bf before ar? y she like dun trust u?
me: ... she oso disturb u. tt means she still ur bf oso ar?
alisa: haha. his bf? he gay ar?

alisa won in the end but we found lots of cards on the floor so ppl start saying tt all the winners throw cards on the floor then announce they win. lolx.

i was the oldest except for tis other guy. 18 oso. dunno frm which jc but previously frm RI sia. the food was such a spread n i tink overall, it was quite a success. the kids became somewat closer. even exchanging contacts. but i doubt we'll keep in touch. its only a once a yr meeting.. i oso collected quite a few hongbaos. n tried my hand at command n conquer.
