Happy Chinese New Year!
And this is the part where I throw in my chingchingchongchong cheenafied string of greetings, but I think my blog doesn't seem to recognize chinese characters. But well, no harm trying anyway - 新年快乐，万事如意，步步高升，身体健康，龙马精神，恭喜发财，年年有余！ Haha. Happy New Year, yall :)
It's the second day of CNY and probably going visiting tonight, once I figure out how to get there, hah. Anyway, chinese new year this year has been slightly more interesting than the previous years, because I actually went to Chinatown to participate (well, not really), or more like bask, in the festivities. One of the times I actually don't really mind squeezing through crowds, only because it wouldn't be fun and festive without them, and because there were a million interesting sights and sounds to experience along the way. Went with Crystal on Friday night, after which we walked to Union hahaha for our much anticipated Friday night salsa (after not dancing for 2 weeks because of school!), and walked around with Da and her sis on Saturday night, after dancing and hanging out a little at Xenbar with Gupson and co.
Only took pictures with Crystal on Friday, because I forgot to bring my memory card on Sat :x, so here is a little collage of our trip (the background is from an actual angpow I received!) -
Teehee. The colours! And the lights! And smells and sounds! Yayyy.
Sunday was then the actual first day of Chinese New Year and much visiting. The usual; my grandma's house, then Mount Vernon and then my mum's... grandaunt's house. Haha it was okay lah just like that lorh, but it was quite nice to meet up (and photowhore!) with some of the closer relatives, and even to catch up with those I only see once a year (or okay twice, if you count reunion dinner), which I really don't know very well at all.
Haha, okay not photowhore; take pictures!
This is photowhoring:
And haha... this is how "good" my photowhoring skills are -
What it was *supposed* to look like :p
Haha. Met up with Josh and Da after visiting to watch Notes on a Scandal, which was really pretty good! The 15 year old boy is cute. Hah. And it's damn bloody freaky la seriously. As a result, I have to add a disclaimer - er Da, no worries about the picture hahaha I'm not in love/obsessed with you/stalking you =p teehee. And I had to take a full length picture because I was so happy with my dress! And so many people said it was a nice dress too yayyyyy! :):):):):) And yay those are my new aviators damn HAPPY with them la omg.
The past weekend has really been great; a chance to breathe after last week's crazy midterm, essay and project schedules. Thursday night was really great too, went for dinner with Steve, Lex and Pam to a damn good Chinese seafood restaurant, at a location I shall not disclose here for fear it becomes too popular and crowded haha ;p went for a bit of yummy dessert wine after that, then went to meet Chiew at Newton to meet up for a bit before she left for KL. And then, and then, and then.... I slept for 15 hours. Haha! Not all the way, I did get up and stuff, but crawled back into bed. When I finally got up... it was like 330pm, and I was kinda late to meet Crystal. Haha. Been buying lots of new stuff too, yay. Shopping is food for the soul. Ahaha.
Okayy anyways gonna go prepare to go Gloria's house soon I guess, Happy New Year everyone! <3!
