Lunar New Year (Day 1 - Day 3)
Day 1, 29 January 2006
Let's start from 12am.
I was watching tv on my computer while my parents were watching tv in the living room. As the clock struck 12, I could hear fireworks going off probably in the direction of Chinatown or Marina Promenade. Yep... that signified the end of the lunar year of the rooster and the beginning of the lunar year of the dog.
I spent the rest of the night watching tv... first channel 8, then channel 5 I think. I finally slept at hmm... maybe 5am? Must "shou sui" ah. Didn't have to go "park" at my grandmother's place so early, so I could afford to sleep late. I woke up at 11 or 12am I think. Cannot remember le. Changed into my long sleeves shirt, pants and leather shoes and walked over to my grandmother's place with my brother.
We were considered slightly late, since a few of my relatives have already started lunch. Steamboat. Heh. Got nice nice scallop, abalone, quail egg, fish, etc. Actually, I normally just go for the quail egg and fish. Can say that they're my all-time steamboat favourites ba.
The rest of the day was spent playing cards with my cousins... Dai Dee and Bridge. The late afternoon was spent coaching one of my cousins with her Maths homework. Ha, erm... yea... anyway, she volunteered to bring schoolwork over de lo. I couldn't really think with all the distractions from tv and relatives talking.
I left my grandmother's place at about 7.30pm to join two friends to go down to the River Hong Bao thingy. It was a humid night... with a slight drizzle. I tried the snow something something... ah... looks like ice kachang, but smoother. I tried the peanut snow with red bean. Nice. I met another friend there who was with his cousin. Talk about coincidence... that place was so packed and I managed to see my friend.
The night was spent at another friend's place playing mahjong. First time me playing it properly lo... and erm, with money involved. Not easy ah, the game. I only managed to win a few times... just small wins though. Lost about 2 dollars in the end. Not too bad ba, considering that I don't really know how to play. I'll learn how to win bigger wins next time. Heh
Day 2, 30 January 2006
So... the whole night was spent playing mahjong till 6.15am, followed by Dai Dee till 7am. I think I managed to recoup my loss from mahjong during Dai Dee. Forgot to keep track of my money during Dai Dee. Heh
Took a bus over to Lot 1 to change bus to my friend's place where I stayed till night. Slept the morning away. It was afternoon by the time I woke. Had dinner of rice with BBQ pork, prawns, pig stomach soup, leek and fried fish. Then watched "百年好合" on tv. It's quite a nice show... Heh. Watch a "雀圣2" VCD after that too. Quite a funny show which revolved around playing mahjong. It was already about 10.45pm by the time the show ended. A day gone just like this.
Day 3, 31 January 2006
I woke up only in the afternoon and went over to my third uncle's place for lunch. Ehz... spent the whole afternoon playing Dai Dee and Bridge again lo. So "no life". Played until we got so bored of it that my cousin went to do her Maths homework... and she kept asking me questions.
Left my uncle's place just before dinner. Ehz, not in the mood to have dinner. Actually whole day no mood due to something which happened the night before. Ah well. I'm too easily affected le... I should learn to take things easy and have a more "heck care" attitude sometimes. I bother too much about things which I shouldn't be bothered about.
I went to school at night. Was worried that I won't be able to wake up for my TA duty the next morning, so might as well stay over in school.
