Chinese New Year can be summarised into just one word:
TIRING!
Was appointed as the chauffer on the day b4 New Year Eve. Whole evening was spent driving around supermarket and relatives' houses, topping up goodies and distributing hampers, presents etc, before meeting up the burgies at Chervons for JackPots!
Pathetic as life could be... Chinese New Year Eve morning was spent running between Lim Chu Kang Camp and Mombray, as a criminal was discharged from Detention Barracks. A intensive suntanning with Hua followed thereafter before having a nice nap and the Reunion Dinner... Got rather pissed off during the gambling session at night... But luckily Hua was there to neutralize it, and Poh got rather rowdy after a pint of Barcardi Breezer?!
Chu Yi was spent with my paternal grandparents and relatives... So it was a casual thing as we see one another pretty often... Kids do grow, don't they? Baby Justin can walked without struggling and Charmaine started Primary One... =) Is lovely to play with the kids, isn't it...? They made me laughed through my heart uncontrollably. Especially when Grandma called Justin, "My Xiao Wang Zi!"... Haha, I knew I'm no longer the favourite... But yet I am happy that at least she got a devilish prince to keep her busy in her golden years... I want my brunch of kids too!
Don't really like Chu Er of CNY. Not that my maternal relatives are hard to please (in fact, some of them might be...), but we see one another only once in a year... Or perhaps twice or more if there's any occassions like Wedding Dinner and Funeral (choy!). So the usual thing when meeting up is:
1. Shake Hands.
2. Exchange Happy New Year Greetings.
3. Silent. Sit down, talk cock with brother.
4. Older relatives come over and and commented a little here and there.
5. Laugh. Accept their comments.
So usually by night time, Bro and I would smuggled ourselves out for supper and headed for home before Dad spotted our absence(s).
Yesterday was rather interesting though. As Sis went to Switzerland for work, Bro and I decided to bring our lonely BrotherInLaw out for dinner. (Hey! He was cooking a sweet potato for dinner when we called him...!) So we headed for food at Jurong followed by "chicks" visiting at GeyLang. As usual, brother was the only one who girls and pimps came forward and asked whether he wanna any. He just got the looKs la! Typical Ah Seng! We ended the night eating "GuiLinGao" before calling it a day...
And today I was on MC... Haha
Shawn Tay - Am I lucky for the new year? Someone decided to change my Sat COS duty for a weekday one! *hiak hiak*
