So how was everyone's CNY? Hmm for me, had reunion dinner @ Dar's place on the eve of CNY eve then had own reunion dinner @ hm w Dad & grandma on CNY eve. Went to Dar's place for visiting on 1st day of CNY then went GRL's place & my elder uncle's place before coming home where my dad's side of the family gathered for dinner. My nephew from my dad's side came over & I was v surprised to see how tall he has grown!!! And how quieter he has become. He used to be like a little terror, running all around the house and refusing to call us heh. But he was v well-behaved this time round :) I thnk the happiest person during CNY would be my granny as she gets to see all her children as well as her grandchildren all at once. She even told my cousin to tell my sis that she misses her a lot and ask her to come back sometime... wish Jie could come back sometime too, I m sure my other relatives also miss her as they are always asking about her...
On the 2nd day, was really touched coz Dar accompained me to visit my grandaunt & my uncle. My grandaunt only speaks cantonese and whilst I can more or less comprehend, I cant really speak so it was real "useful" that Dar came along as he could help me to interprete and help me to convey what I wanted to say to her :) He also, as usual, had a good time w all my little nieces & nephews. They all seem to like him soooo much especially little Germaine :)
That's me w Genevieve, Benjamin & Germaine. Benjamin's v cute isnt he?? He even made us take a video of him where he was supposedly doing some dance and also of him singing some superman song but he was sooooooooo soft!!! Then the girls did a clip of them singing “大地回春”which was v funny as Germaine didnt know the lyrics and was just humming alg. And little Antonio was like walking around the gals!!! Maybe I will put it up sometime :) Afterwhich, we brought the 2 gals to Ikea & Courts where they had a really good time @ the play area. N whilst Genevieve is smart & street-smart, Germaine still had the innocence of a child. Dar & I had a good laugh @ some of the things they did & said... Wanted to bring Benjamin along as well but Dar said could only bring 2 so... maybe next time...
Also visited a dear fren of my @ the temple w 3 of my other school mates, 1 of whom I haven't seen in a long time either. My fren took up the robes almost 1 year ago but I haven't seen her for about 1.5 years now. We were very happy to see her looking so peaceful and serene. We had a good time catching up and learning about what she is doing and what her plans are. Hope to make it a point to visit her more often.
Other than that, nothing much but I got red packets fr 2 of my tuition kids' mum haha!!! The other one gave me pineapple tarts & love letters for CNY so prolly that's why I didnt get a red packet fr her. But still... my red packets seem to have shrunk this year :( Mangojo attributed that to the fact that is coz I am older & of marriageble age liao... but still!!! haiz... :P Wanted to do a Lo-Hei w the SE gals but somehow it didnt happen... maybe next year bah. But did went to Lo-Hei w Dar & his best fren on “人日", it was the 1st time the 2 of the Lo-Hei together wor!!! I was rather surprised :)
Hope it had been a good start to the piggie year for everyone. May it bring all of us prosperity & good luck. Most of all, may everything be smooth-sailing for us and may all of us be healthy & happy :)
