It's the second day of the Chinese New Year (YEAR OF THE PIG!)!

Haha first of all, I wanna wiah all my family, relatives, friends and everyone and anyone a Happy Piggy Wiggy Chinese New Year! Hope you guys can get whatever you wish/want, health, luck and happiness everywhere you go. For gals, youth and beauty always, haha and of course tao hua duo duo kai! =D

Chinese New Year Eve (:

The theme of this Chinese New Year seems to be: Last minute.

We basically did everything last minute, from shopping for clothes, to getting our house all geared up to welcome Cai Shen Ye.

Haha we actually got our second set of CNY clothes on the eve of Chinese New Year at Cheenatown. Cheenatown REALLY is a good place to shop, haha if you know where to dig out the treasures, that is. I got a pair of RED HEELS (*gasps* to that), a bottom. Then I got my second top on the first day of CNY.

Ultimate last minute.

Haha I love CNY eve! Got awesome excuse to stay up late. Like always, all families to fall in at my aunt's place for reunion dinner! Haa but this year, the food is SERIOUSLY lacking in quantity, but quality's still there. Haha as usual, mahjong room packd with the usual kakis, and the rest of us 'kids' had to settle with blackjack! My relatives took turns to be bankers, then whenever any cousin born in the Year of the Tiger plays as banker, Ron cannot play, cus' she'll really lose! Haha but blackjack's a darned fun and funny game, love it when Jon Jon's the banker, that's when I'll win lotsa $$$ even if I got shitty cards like 16 points! Yafooo~ In total I won like $12++ on blackjack! Then Jon Jon took out his prized Absolut Vodka collection, and I requested for the raspberry flavor to go with coke, at the beginning it tasted downright HORRIBLE cus' it tasted loads like cough syrup (YUCK). Haha but everyone decided it tasted pretty fab after getting a lil' more diluted. Yums to that!

Haha then all of us head back home to prepare for CNY! We got home before 12 midnight, Mee had to wash her hair before 12am (according to tradition), and all of us had to rush to change new bedsheets, do some last minute touch-ups all BEFORE 12am, boy oh boy I know what being Cinderella feels like already! Haha thank God we made it.

But...guess what? I actually spent the friggin' countdown in the SHOWER! -_-" I was pom-pom-ing away, then I heard the countdown (3...2...1..."GONG XI GONG XI ~~") from the TeeWee in the living room! Lol. What are the odds? You tell me. Haha but never mind, it feels awesome to wear new pajamas and watch CNY variety shows (no matter how stupid/boring/corny they may be).

...Shou Ye-ing in process....2:36am *knock-out*

1st Day of CNY:

I dreamt of my late maternal grandma! In my dream, I think I was in like First World Hotel's lobby, oddly enough it was like a Christmas setting, and my sis and I were walking, and then I spotted my aunts, and my grandma walked towards us smiling, and in sunglasses (like the old pair she used to have). I am conscious that I'm dreaming (like always), and I told myself to get up and tell MUMMY! Ahhh~ A sweet dream on the first day of CNY! (=

Off to Ah Gong's place! Haha at this time of the year, it turns into a mini gambling den. Haha everyone dressed to the nines, hahaha I feel sorely overdressed cus' I don't usually dress like that, haha but kinda got the hang of it. Played mahjong (usual kakis), then the rest of us kinda watched teewee, haha and we had a blast listening to songs by this 'up and coming' band called Countdown on J-Me's iPod! LOL. They can sing ANY kind of song, from Walt Disney, to hip hop, to rap, to JAZZ!

Then the mahjong table morphed into a BlackJack table by itself, and I won money again! Haha around $3 plus? haha forgot already, anyways my Ah Gong is very cute! =D

Then off to Da Yi Ma's place! Haha but we stopped by Cheers to get some drinks since Kenneth kindly told us his house ran out of drinks during the car ride. Weee~ and they ordered pizzas too, mama mia~!

Gambling Bonanza part 2~ ACTION! Haha since we got there first, we started a mahjong table for ladies, then the other mahjong room's for the PRO mahjong players (as in they play tai), haha and I won money again! $0,90! Haha but we decided not to count that in, (= Haha mahjong is the funniest game in the entire universe! (=

Then all of us had instant noodles with ABALONE SLICES in them, and sharks' fin soup! It's my first time ever, eating such decadent junk food man! Haha sheer heaven~ Watched two mahjong-related Hong Kong movies on cable, so nice! Haha like mahjong tutorial, learnt a tip or two from Andy Lau! Like how even when you get a good set of cards you may not necessarily win, conversely, if you get a lousy set of cards you can win if you wait it out and play the right cards at the right time, haha oh yeah and sometimes you have to sacrifice a very good win (e.g. DA SAN YUAN) for a basic win cus' your opponents might outlast you, small win=still win!

Mahjong is an ART.

Haha then Von booked Partyworld at Civic Centre the 10pm to 2am slot, Jon Jon drove us there. Cam-whored there! Haha send me the picsys! LOL. When we reached there, it really felt like we were in some nightclub in Geylang lar! And they had to blast Cao Ge's songs outside, felt like we were in the movies or something.

Once we were in! Finally let it all hang loose! Sang lotsa songs, shiok-a-roo! Partyworld's green tea is nice. They gave us a bowl of mandarin oranges for FREE, and two notebooks for FREE too. Haha so shagged at the end of it, then me uncle drove us back! Woohoo~ Total knock-out, hit the sack and zzzz...

CNY 2nd Day:

Mee went to the temple with me aunts in the morning to pray, then wen down to my Ah Ma's house. Had lotsa goodies too, oh my god need to exercise already! Haha but for now, who cares! =p My Ah Ma is really cute too! Haha woohoo ang bao harvest!

Then later we went off to the 'River Ang Bao' near the Esplanade, yeah I know, what a WTF name for a CNY fair right? Haha there were so many things to see there! I read my forecast for the pig year, my lucky colors are brown, orange and red. My lucky numbers are 1 and 9! Bought the candy popiah and dragon's beard candy, and mango with ice shavings! Yummylicious!

We bought this elephant pendant carved out of camel bone (I really hope the camels died naturally), haha and this stall is an African-themed one, so the stall holders are from Africa, they're really friendly people! Service industry, please learn a thing from two from them! =)

Back home. Drained!

Shall po some picsys soon! Everyone enjoy your days yeah! =)

Note: Sorry Vulture gang! I thought last Friday's cancelled cus' no confirmation, haha but I wanna see more of you guys! =,(
