Its the lunar new year once again, meaning :
1. Sumptious FOOD!
Thankfully for the ladies in my house, the men (my dad and uncle) are GOOD COOKS and call the shots in the kitchen=) So all we "gals" got to do is probably help prepare the ingredients and clean up the house.
Quite a good deal considering that we do not have to stand infront of a stove for over 7 hours=P.
Just look at the men at work=)
opps.....forgot to rotate the picture=P2. New year means NEW Clothes and shoes=)
I bought stuff way last minute this year. On the eve of new year's eve. Bugis was literally choking me with the amount of people in there. Thankfully my friend and I survived and managed to get 2 tops, a ring (gift from serene^^), 4 pairs of earrings and a new pair of black peep-toe heels at a real steal=) i just manage to get nice shop ladies yea=) Thanks serene for accompanying me!

4. Manicure!
Spent new year's eve afternoon doing my nails at home. I have to get some red in somewhere since most of my outfits aren't red.
a twist to the french manicure=)5. Meeting family=)
Especially cousins that you have not seen in ages, to just catch up or watch how much they have grown.
Went to visit this grandaunt, who is my granny's younger sister. SHe looks like the YOUNGER and ROUNDER version of my gran when she was alive! GAHHH....it was like seeing gran again! her voice and actions were so SIMILAR!!!
ANd my baby cousin! One of them is an apparent budding genius....
look at how he attacks the piano with so much interest and gusto!
and believe it, this 2.5year old kid KNOWS AND COMPREHENDS HIS NUMBERS AND ALPHABETS AND CAN ABOVE ALL.....
WRITE IT! LEGIBLY!!! WITH A PENCIL using the PINCER GRASP!
what happened to the nOrmal palmar grasp u tell me??
and he is just SO adorable!
Looking at the last few days of chinese new year festivities on the whole,
well,
its the usual.....
gatherings,
eating,
feeling bored quite alot. Especially on the second day....even the TV programmes were "blah"....my baby cousin and 3 rounds of majong near midnight were the day's highlight i tell you....
and feeling restless and WISHING there was dance practice so i can work of the furstration of sitting still at home or someone's home and having to think about exams..........
ohhh....and feeling weird, since gran isnt around anymore, and the family unity on m dad's side kinda......
fragmanted??
or disintegrated?
yea.....didnt get to meet 3 of my cousins.....gahhh......
but,
at least there's my baby cousin=)
and my mom's side "ka-chungs" !
and singing in the car as our family zipped around in it all over singapore, from hougang, to tampines, to ang mo kio, to clementi, to woodlands, to yishun, to seletar................
HAPPY CNY!
even if it is the same old / new old routine..................
