Happy Chinese New Year!

Finally able to blog again and now it's all about Chinese New Year. Yesterday I had reunion dinner with my mother's side relatives at Kim Kim house. We had tepanyanki which is really very fulfilling. I ate until I could eat no more. Today I woke up at 9 plus and changed into my new clothes. Yay~ House visits weren't the same as last year. This year instead of going to my paternal grandmother's house first, we went to Sengkang with Kim Kim's family to visit Lao Kou Ma. This time she couldn't even recognise my mum and I think she's already 90+ years old. Zi Yi couldn't recognise me and even thought I was someone's girlfriend. =S Good news is that many people commented that I've grown taller. =) Then next was to bishan to visit Lao Mm because Bernard wanted to as he missed Chinese New Year for 2 years already although we seldom visit her. The dog there was so cute, really look like Cody from the farm in Perth. Then it was to my paternal grandmother's house while Kim Kim they all went to my maternal grandmother's house. We ate our lunch there, the same dishes annually - beancurd and soup with cabbages. After lunch I got glued to the television as channel 8 was showing a very touching movie and the way the children cried made my mum and I had tears welling up our eyes. So laughing isn't the only contagious thing, crying too. Unfortunately we had to go to my maternal's grandmother house and I just hesistated and pulled away from the television. Ended up the same show was on there so I watched till the end which I then started to play blackjack as usual with my cousins and aunties. We bet small amount - 10c, 20c. Every year I would use the same coins for the game, so the pouch would not be touched until new year comes again. The first "zheng" [Not sure about the spelling but it somehow means banker] was Kim Kim. It wasn't a good start for me but later on when my mum became the "zheng", I got blackjack. hehe~ After a few rounds Alan kor kor and his family came and he became the "zheng". It was really very funny to play with him as he kept on boasting in a joking manner that he would win. Ended up when he left, he counted and he made no loss or gain. For me I gained 70c. Then we took a break for a while and went back to the room to continue but this time we played bridge. An intellectual game, that's what my brother said, there's even such a CCA in schools. The game was very fun and we played until my family had to eat. The food was delicious as usual and I ate until I was bloated again. I think I'm growing fat. =X Hopefully not, since this is once a year thing. Then it was back to the room and we cousins took photos together. Later left the place and went to Redhill to visit my paternal granduncle. He again told proverbs and facts about life and I was half listening and watching television. Next was to Ang Mo Kio to visit my paternal side one relative, just opposite my school. Every PE lesson last year jogged near there. I began feeling sleepy there and I doze off for a little while. Then it was home sweet home.
