Lunar New Year 2016

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!

Lunar New Year this year feels pretty short probably because 初一 and 初二 which is our official public holiday falls on Monday and Tuesday. That means we gotta start work on the third day of CNY. Oh well.

Usually on the first two days, I would be rotting the remaining hours away at my grandparents' place after visiting, waiting for my parents or sis to finish their mahjong game before we can head home. and that seriously suck. I don't mind if my niece or nephews are around because they kinda keep me entertained, but they never stay till late.

You may be wondering why I can't just go off on my own. Yeah I can actually. But the fact that we are at Jurong and I still need to take a bus to the train station usually keeps me hesitating till I couldn't take it anymore. By then it'll be quite late already and so I must well just continue waiting right. Lol~ That's me being too pampered living in the central where most places are convenient and accessible, I really hate long journeys alone.
Anyway, thanks to Esther and HSY my CNY this year is less boring!

1st February, advance Birthday dinner for Crystal at Your Woul Korean Restaurant.

Their signature dish is the Kam Ja Tang (Pork Ribs Potato Stew)

and YES IT IS REALLY GOOD!

but my favourite is the Seafood Pancake and the sauce that came with it. YUMZ

After dinner, I went to NEX to find Esther and HS, watched them eat and then did a little cny shopping with E.

4th of February is 立春, the day everyone crazy queue at banks and atms to deposit their money at their auspicious hours.
I wanted to join in the craze but changed my mind and decided not to believe in it.

Went home and changed to my new Paul Frank bed sheet. HEHEHE damn cute.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

5th of February, our last day of work before CNY, we were released early from work. I met up with Jo for dinner at Saveur.

Then to our manicure appointment at Little Nails Castle.

I LOVE my Pusheen cats!

So obsessed with it that I only realized the 春 is written wrongly when I got home. Lol.

But nobody else actually notice anything wrong until I told them xD

On the eve of CNY eve, family reunion dinner and after that met Esther, CW, and HS for a little drink. We wanted to go to FIVE Bar but it was closed!! Then we walked and walked and walked to another bar which HS recommended. Closed too! So then we continued walking and ended up chilling somewhere at Boat Quay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CNY eve I slept till late afternoon then headed upstairs to Granny's place for another reunion steamboat dinner. and after that was left alone at home, forgot what I was doing but I slept pretty late cuz trying to 守夜.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

初一 I overslept a little and went to my ahma house a little late before heading to Jurong. Then the usual blackjack game with cousins. Everyone is so big now it feels like our round gambling table had shrunk.
I am very kiasu always don't dare to play too big and forever setting a limit like if I lost a certain amount I would stop playing. So yeah, that was what happened for the past few years and I never really had the winning luck in gambling and always had to leave the table like super fast then I end up with nothing to do again. Hahaha~
But this year luckily it wasn't too bad. I managed to stay in the game for as long as it last and won $6. Teehee.

Late night, we went over to HS' place to Bai Nian and ended up playing blackjack and talking overnight. Good luck stayed with me and I won another $8. Lol!
Mac breakfast after and then catching the super early bus home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This year 初二 I decided to just stay home to sleep and watch drama. Chillax and replenish energy for the tiring week.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yesterday which was 初三, I had to drag myself out of bed. SIGH. Work day starts again.
Impromptu dinner with Esther & HS after work. The two shiok ones who have no work or school on 初三...

Oh ya anyway, just recently, I registered for my first Korean language class at Ganada Korean Language Centre and went for two lessons already. It was pretty fun though the classroom is really really small and cramp.

Thanks to Daryl I took this new step to learning. I've been saying that I want to learn for so many times but was too lazy to take any actions. So suddenly one day D asked if I have any school to recommend and I asked him to register me in together when he found one. Shun bian right! Hahahahaha~ & I made a new friend too! :D
