CNY gathering with 2/4 Friends..

CNY gathering with 2/4 gals on last Saturday was really great. it had been a long while since i had such non stop laughter with them. haha... the usual mahjong and "dai-dee" plus many different board games created lots of fun and laughter.. our laughter filled up the house as well as the corridor. i bet the neighbours muz be cursing and swearing. thanks to Stella, we got to enjoy the day at her grandma's house. THANK YOU to Ivy!!! for organising the gathering and bringing all the games, "yu-sheng", food and drinks.. of cos, wun forget to thank ur faithful helper... :D

other than games, we had a "loh-hei" session. everyone was so civilised at the start. slowly putting in the sauce, ingredients, crackers into the platter of shredded carrots and vege. BUT when it was time to begin "loh-ing", i suddenly realised how aggressive all of us can get! hahaha.. i saw the shredded vege flying in the air and landed on pple's hands.. Lian had a slice of salmon fallen on her hand at the start... woooo... after tis "loh-hei" session, i had a conclusion... DO NOT offend any of the 2/4 gals for we can get very aggressive if we wanna! hahaha...

the day ended at abt 1145pm before police come after us for noise pollution & also for the gals to catch the last train home. for me, i took "bus 11" home as the house is juz 10mins walk away from my place. i am really glad to meet up with the gals as it had been abt 1 long year since i last had so much fun with them. not really full strength, esp when most of my Spice gang r missing, still i really enjoyed myself. supposedly to have some photos abt the gathering to share but the photos r in Wen Hui's camera (if i'm not wrong). so gotta wait for a while more... *hint *hint to Hui.. photos!!!

previously, pple used to ask me how come i am still so close to a grp of frens i noe in sec 1 and 2? well, the ans is very simple. cos this grp of frens can be brought over many different phases. no matter is after lower sec, after sec sch, after our students life, after entering the working world, gathering with them will never stop. if i din rem wrongly, when we were in sec sch, we used to say tat in 20 years' time, our gathering will b on a bigger scale as there will be many children running around, our children of cos! haha.. so tis 20 years' time is now 10 years away... hmmm... so fast ah! anyway, no matter how old we get, i juz hope to be able to keep in touch with this grp of frens as we had been together thru many unforgettable moments and i really treasure tis frenship with every single one of them... :D

Gathering with Spice Buddies...

see how blur i can get.. this entry was supposed to be up before CNY. i actually uploaded the photos and forgot to upload the entry. well, i guess now is still not too late.

suppose to have a gathering with Spice Buddies 1 week after i came back from Aussie, end up it was not a full strength gathering as Mr Aik Junwei was sick! he was so sick for the whole week that he did not join us. however, he made a very generous contribution. hahaha... he had a $80 voucher for Ichiban Boshi which would expired before CNY. so as his good buddies, we shall help him fully utilised the voucher before it expire. all thanks to Jun, at the end of the dinner, each of us only paid $6.50 for our dinner. whahaha... so shuang!!!!

before we start to feast on the yummy food, Lian & I in action..

Lin & Jas were next on the camera...

side dish 1: i forget the name ah... was it octopus?

Beef something... tat's Lin's, Jas' & my choice...

Side dish 2: Scallop & cheese (forget exact name).. we din finish tis dish as we were too full...

after dinner... our satisfied look... hahah... Jun, thanks for ur voucher!!! *forget to bring ur pic *out ah.. if not, u can "enjoy" with us too! heehee*
shopping @ Robinsons after dinner... the gals wanna get new lingerie for CNY. hahaha... so there we r, headed straight to the lingerie section where the gals had a good time trying on different designs. while they were trying on, i was happily rotting away outside the changing rooms. luckily there is a couch for me to sit down and wait. after Lin and Jas decided on their purchase, Lian, the usual slow one, had to make us wait and wait. so to kill time, Lin started her nonsense...
Lin: oops! tis is too small for San.. whahaha...
San: ya la.. so small, how to fit leh? tat's suppose to be ur size leh... woooo.. sexy leh...

Chinese New Year 2008

Gong Xi Fa Cai!!! Happy Chinese New Year!!! heehee... these few days of holidays had been a busy period for me. as Grandma is recovering from the Cataract Operation, i had to take over the responsibility to cook for the family for our reunion dinner and CNY Day 1 Lunch. CNY has always been a festival i always look forward to as i can meet up with many relatives and get together. normally all of us r busy with our own life so tis once a yr CNY hols can bring us together and update on each other abt our happenings. with me in Aussie for the past 1 year, missing out on many opportunities to meet up with my family and relatives, CNY hols bcame even more important to me.


Auntie Cindy & my lovely niece, Baby Lynnette...


Brother & Lynnette... haha.. brother trying to act cute la... hmm, so when is my brother going to give me another niece or nephew leh?

Lynnette & I.. last year when i saw her, she was still a little baby. now she is all grown up.. almost 2 years old. tis sweetie is my elder cousin's little princess.

heehee.. cute little sweetie... hyper active girl...

from left to rite: my eldest cousin, Seow Wai & her little princess, Lynnette.. my 2nd cousin, Seow Yin & her princess, Joyce & little cutie, Anthony. heehee...

tis CNY hols was especially busy for me. other than gathering with family, i met up with my frens.

1stly was the meeting up with Tess! yeahz!!! she came to Spore for holidays!!! woohoo~!!!! so on 2nd day of CNY, we arranged to meet up for supper @ Swensens. Together with Huiying, Huiying's BF (Zhiwei), Philip and myself, we had a great time catching up with Tess. it made us felt as if we are back in Aussie, having our favourite dessert @ Freestyle. hahaha...

@ Swensens Park Hotel, Orchard...

i really miss these 2 buddies... miss all the precious moments we spent in Aussie... the Warren Street Baobei-s... hahaha...

CNY Day 3 had always been a day to go for house visit to Teachers' house. in the morning, I went to 曾老师's house as per usual. met up with my pri sch frens and we went for our 8th CNY visit to her house. 曾老师 only permitted us to visit her house during CNY after our O levels. hence ever since then, tis is our 8th year to her house. i really really treasure tis kind of tradition almost us. rain or shine, we will all try to make it for tis once a year event & there will be more years to go ahead!

tis year CNY day 3 had been slightly busier. after lunch, i rushed down to meet Lin, Lian and Jas. it is suppose to be a visit to Ms Lock's house with my sec sch frens. however, many of them r unable to make it. but nevertheless, with juz few of us, we still had fun! hahaha.. hopefully next year, the attendance will be better!

Jas, Lin and Lian with Ms Lock's son, Jerald...

Jerald & I... 5 years old liao...
2 years ago when i saw him, he was very hyper active boy. now he is still as active. hahaha...

Sheba... one of Ms Lock's dogs...

Huilin & Snowie.. Snowie very dun give Lin face ah.. keep turning here and there.. finally willing to stay still for a min for a photo. hahaha... Lin's scarifice for her clothes to b covered by the fallen dog fur is worth while!!!

Snowie & Sheba... knew them since i was sec sch... as noisy as usual ah! hahaha...



before we left Ms Lock's house, Jerald put up a performance for us... so i had a deal with him tat next year, i shall go again to look at his Wushu performance after he attend Vincent Ng's Wushu School. hahaha...

suppose to take photo of Ms Lock but she said dun wan to, so dun have photos of her. but she has nv change. as usual, as pretty... as for her daughter, Jade, she is very shy. hopefully next year, she will be less shy and we can take a photo with her. heehee..


after Ms Lock's house, we went to meet up with Jun and had our dinner at airport. after a very FULL dinner, back to town for movie, Kungfu Dunk. heehee... the movie is really funny la, though some parts r quite lame, still it kept me laughing from beginning till end ah. hahaha... after the movie, is already past midnite. since there is no transport home, we decided to hang out a while more and catch nite rider home. hahaha... so we had our usual photo taking session...
