大年初三

 Third day of cny was spent with family and friends!

Started our early morning visit to gf's place. I know this girl for almost 10 years already! Time REALLY flies ( i know it's cliche but it's just so apt to describe). Supposed to be morning morning but we were all knocked out from the hectic night the day before and couldnt get out of bed. Ended up at her place only at almost noon. Kind of hang out with her aunt who's really nice and made efforts to mingle with us. Oh! and gave us angpao although she really didnt have to. Ate her mum's cooking which was YUMS MAX before we made a move bcos it was SO overwhelming with all her relative streaming in.

Thanks gf for the invite! :)

Then it was a quick trip to bf's place and then my aunt's place and then..
Fel's 21st!

Really can't stand people who make me wait for more than an hour. My limit is ONE hour and i think that's reasonable enough.

Anyway her party venue was real pretty with all the decorations. Just that it's situated in a not so convenient neighbourhood, it's really easy to get lost

Happy 初三!

大年初二

First stop, grandma's place. Just a mini stop over for lunch before heading over to small uncle's place.
As you can tell that we simply don't have anything to do, we resort to taking pictures and pictures of the floor tiles and all.

No photos at small uncle's house because we were all busy trying to earn some pocket money. And while doing that, my little cousin and niece (both p4) wouldnt stop bugging me to play with them. I honestly should have done that so that i wouldn't have to suffer a deficit of 25 bucks. Hahaha. Oh well. for the joy of cny~

Next stop, rich uncle's place. Hahaha. Buffet at his 3-story place. An annual affair.

 cousin unite!

大年初一

Unlike most people, having parents who has much more seniority than their siblings meant that their kids have the luxury of sleeping in till afternoon when relatives come over to visit. Personally, i woke up at 11+am, when my parents threatened that my unglam-ness would be exposed if I refuse to wake up any later. Lucky me, when most people barely had enough sleep after supposed 守岁。

But then again, it's really quite bored to be hanging around at home. But the irony is, it's even more awkward when people comes over. People u're not so close to. It's like going out to greet them and get ur red packets and then the awkwardness begin. Are you supposed to make small talks and act 熟 or what? It's much easier if they have kids, so you can divert all the attention to them and go goo goo ga ga about how cute they are. Naturally, me choose the alternative- retreating back to my room where my laptop is. But i did the most loser-ish thing. I started to do my public relations essay. That shows how desperate i am. Ha. But then again, that barely lasted more than three sentences. 

Cousins gradually came over and got a lot more entertained and did all the normal things- catching up, setting up mini gambling den, watch dvd and a lot of drinkin (soft drinks. me still juvenile) and eating (junk food n more junk food). 

Oh, i did walk over to my old hse area where my 姑姑 stays to 拜年too. She cooks the best food in the world- guo hiong, tauhu goreng, curry, pizza, u name it, she can cook it! Totally ate a lot at her place despite having dinner already.

 Cousins in the hse- YO

including toddler cousins.

And then havoc at night after all the mess in my house. 

Headed over to joel's place cos gf denied us entry. Haha.

More eating, talking, drinking (non gasy drinks finally!), playing cards yet again

 plus POLARIOD-TAKING! :)

a homely affair

团圆饭。

Full strength with all 8 of us this year.

=)

floral new yr

New floral slippers for CNY which is quite a steal.

Less than five bucks, even though i know they probably wont last long.

but still..

do check out cotton on 40% storewide!

wanted to get shorts but no more sizes left. sad...

manicure & pedicure

The CNY prices and surcharge for such services is simply insane during this period. But then again, it's e season to be vain, so no choice but to part with ur money. But instead of classic, i did an express instead. Since i can always go back to scrub, buff, push cuticles after cny where price is HALVED.

And i did one of them on my own! Make a guess! I should go an open a manicure pedicure shop and earn all the vain ppl's money! Haha

大扫除

大扫除!

The one wardrobe where clothes fall on you each time you open it.

so tidy now!

My poor navy blue saltwater, stuck in transition, alongside with my sis's and fatty's pretty red ones.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, my sis' fren cant make it back to spore before cny. 

So there goes my new sandals for cny.
