Happy Chinese New Year!!!!!
Yay, because its CNY, this post shall be in bright festive colours! Okay, its been quite awhile since I blogged, cos alot has been going on since chu xi. I've kinda already forgotten what happened, but lets try to recall.
Chu xi
Okay, chuxi was on saturday rite? Yeah, I rmb going down to my grandma hse super early (like 1 plus) for lunch. My mother kinda scammed me to go down, making me believe tt there were alot of khakis down there. Ended up stoning and helping them stock up on drinks. But playing with Eugene was fun, his stories about primary one school life are super amusing. He's definitely my favourite baby cousin amongst all of them. =D
When we finally began playing mahjong, it was like 4 plus i think. And we didnt even finish the dong fong lah. Super sian. Apparantly I won too much even before we began properly, so my auntie din wanna play anymore -.- whats this lah. I find it very unfair >(
Tuanyuanfan was a scattered affair, mainly because not everybody could eat at the same time. There were just too many ppl . So we kinda staggered the timings. Okay, actually some of us were feeling hungry so we ate first =p Sharks fin soup was like alotalot. One gigantic pot full of it, so everyone spam and spam but still cannot finish.
The night was full of gambling and time seemed to pass very fast. Dont think i won much frm ban luk and the san zhang thingy tt we played =(
New year!
First day of the new year we went my ah mah hse in the morning, gambled abit, and then headed off to the macs tt we eat at every new year. I have no idea why we still go there and eat, esp since my maternal grandparents moved already. Guess its a kinda custom. Okay, the next few hours were REALLY boring, I just stone and stone until a cousin got us to go play bridge. Left as soon as possible, without appearing to be rude, which took a few hours.
And so, we went back to my ah mah's hse. I must say gambling really helps ppl stay awake. I was a total zombie from the lack of sleep, but once i got there, I felt really awake! Gamblegamblegamble... then go home. Although its just gambling, I think its ideal bonding activity, especially when all of you are against the banker =p Maybe orientation we can try smt liddat?
Day 2
Went for maternal side gathering again. Some dimsum place for brunch. I must say the service sucks real bad. All our orders just went to the next table (we were in the same room with 4 tables) so we had like nth to ear. Got pissing after awhile, so my very-hungry-therefore-angry cousin was like asking the stupid waitress how come she screw up so many times. And then tt idiot just refused to admit tt she delivered wrongly. -.- freaking dumb lah, we asked the other table and KNOW tt they din order tt much food. So the only conclusion is tt she delivered wrongly what! Spoilt my day.
Hmm, then they all of them came over to my hse for mahjong. Totally sian diao, I tried and tried to dissuade them, but it din work. =( So all come lor. I managed to reach hme abt 10 mins b4 them, so i hurry up chiong and pack up my room so tt they wun see the mess. Got all the lame stupid jobs like looking after all my girl cousins while the went to the garden to blow bubbles (freaking lame rite?), and the peacemaker as my two littlest cousins fought who got to put my coins inside my tong kong. -.-
Oh, I realied my maternal grandmother is freaking pro at mahjong. Like total ownage. She just win and win and win and win. Pity the suckers who agreed to play with her. For money somemore. Losers!!!
Dinner at my hse, then they all left soon after. Phew, i was sooo relieved when they left lah. Imagine like 20 plus ppl just suddenly turn up at yr hse. Then you have to constantly churn up new topics to talk to them abt. Pure torture.
Fell asleep curled up on the sofa. In some very awkward position. Guess tt just shows how super duper tired I was. But when my mother said smt abt playing mahjong, I woke up again! Haha, the amazing power of mahjong!
so thats basically what i did in 3 days. chu san, which is yesterday, I shall blog tml, cos im getting kinda tired. Time to pay off some massive sleep debt!
