cny happenings

arrr two days of the lunar new year holiday is over so quickly (not that i expected them to pass very slowly). and it's oredi the wee hours of the last day of the new year holidays now.

my collection of ang pows this year is pathetically little. partly because some of my maternal relatives are like away on a cruise or something - they ALWAYS go on a cruise. zzz... guess i won't get to see them this year since i won't be free to be visiting them in the near future.

first day of the lunar new year - as usual, visiting my grandma etc etc.... but this year is special. all my cousins came over to my hse to play mahjong after dinner at grandma's! they seem sooo hooked on the game -___- kinda amazing, cos initially none of them (except my aussie cousin) knows how to play but now, they keep wanting to play -___- this is bad. i muz rescue them from becoming as though they live for mahjong LOL....

but here's a picture... i think my room has become a gambling den -___-

Day 2 of the lunar new year.... met up with everyone again for dim sum lunch at thomson plaza. but we had to wait for everyone to turn up at the bus interchange. hence we waited and waited until we decided to start taking photos again...

the food is quite okay actually and the dessert is rily very good.... awww... it's coconut husk filled with buloh hitam, jellies and ice cream! and it's chilled - the whole thing and it looks something like this:

and it has those mini coloured tadpoles inside!! those jelly-like thingy...

P/S: shuwan, wad are u doing inside the dessert?? HAHA!!
