chinese new year!hahahaha...time for ang bao collection for many lucky kids out there but not for me. haiz...year after year i only get to keep certain ppl's ang baos, like my grandma and my grandma (2 mah, one mother of dad, the other mother of mother)

but in any case, i'm luckier than most people already? at least i get to collect ang baos rather than those poor kids who have to think about survival every single day. gratefulness people...gratefulness. don't take these things for granted.

so, my cny has been pretty boring. just that my grandaunt can't celebrate because of the recent death of my mum's cousin(complicated relations lah...yeah, don't bother to comprehend). so the 100days mourning period isn't over yet, which is why my cny has been pretty quiet this year althought there are more households to visit.

my mum's right about one thing though, there's no festive mood this year (was there ever one?)....

so this saturday was like some crash-course friends get-together thingy la....met vonk in the morning to go jogging and then some, she makes a cruel coach...haiz...but it's for my own good lah, i'm saying good bye to my well-consumed pineapple tarts and ba kuas every step i take on the running track.

then later in the afternoon met chris, nic and jon to go vivo to catch a movie. hahahaha....it was like the whole of singapore is going there to watch of something? the tickets for ie. 3:30pm show was sold to the extent that it left the few seats in the first 2 rows. so ended up nic and jon decided not to watch. chris and i went to watch sweeny todd cuz it's a musical and all and chris likes horror...so yeah

scared the shit out of me can? it's like everytime a throat was slit hor, i shut my eyes closed lah...so end up half the time i have my eyes closed. see the logic of watching horror? you pay 9.50 to close your eyes in a well furbished theatre...

so after that went to shop around for a while and then chris saw this ice cream parlor so we went and get it...sinful indulgence, considering the fact we had carl's jr for lunch...hahaha BUT....here's the catch, it's 94% fat free!

hahahaha....later rushed down to nat and reached her place around 8pm - the steamboat was fun and everyone changed kinda lot. like van neh neh dyed and rebonded her hair. jl seems to have lost more weight.....xj become more handsome. then jh looks smarter *ahem* and adrain still looks love sick...did kris put some eyeliner? and beryl definitely looks prettier with contacts...hahahaha, xinyi has a change in style and my nat hot mama still looks hot in that butter yellow shirt with a black vest!

and i look hot in red!

hahahahaha...okok, so after that we played a card game called indian poker...damn funny lor, and then xj and jl entertained us with their talk of army....some of weirdest, sadistic stuff they do inside. so when it was time for me to leave on the cinderalla hour, xj and nat pei me go downstairs to wait aka. hail for a cab home. hahahaha...xj damn funny can? he like barefooted walk from nat's house to the maid road lah...dunno whether to be touched for amused...lol

so yeah....my long day is DRAWING to a close...talking to weixiang now, hahahaha...see you guys in the moring.

wait.

it's 1250am, dammit it IS the moring...lol

Dear Prince Charming,

it's been a while since we've spoken - actually, it's more of a one-way conversation. so anyway, how's your chinese new year?

the feeling of anticipation hasn't died a single bit. it has somemore been masked by other conflicting emotions but somehow it seems that you're still here in my heart. while turning into the drop-off zone at my grandma's house i heard this song called "somewhere out there". it's a duet sung in the 70s and the lyrics is so sweet...

Somewhere Out There
