Chinese New Year!!!

Well well, we always like CNY don't we, especially for the 'Younger' generation....but i realised that as times goes by, as we start to age, CNY is really a time to gather. The red packets become secondary for the singles. (married people will have to burn a hole in their pocket....that's why the secondary only applies to singles....)

This CNY is the first time where i would expect questions on where is BC. Well, it happens to be a time where i could officially tell them im single. Some were shocked, one thought i was joking, as for Mrs Lim (my secondary school teacher), she hug me and wish me luck in my future endeavor. Tears fall in my heart.

Anyway, on the first day of CNY, all my dad's relatives came to my house as my grandma is at my place and as usual, after going to admiralty (grandaunt place), instead of going to da gu ma's place, my da gu ma and cousins came back to my place as we need to settle grandma's dinner.

Afterwhich, we played mahjong with Kelvin, Li fen, mum and myself. As the result shows, i've never really lost money in my house but for the 2 cousins, they lost almost 20 bucks each in a 3 hours 1 game session. Sis missed these sessions after being married and giving birth to the 2 kids. I guess, you lose some and win some. Just have to accept when you reach another stage in life.

We have fun though....I can sort of sense that grandma wants to play but we din offer though.

The 2nd day, went to mum's side....i was prepared to announce my status but only jeannette asked me. And i realised later that they know beforehand of it. Sis sort of hinted to them and Im sort of glad in a way. I wasnt really prepared for all the questions.

Hence, the two days of CNY just ended in a flash.....we had photos taken though......all were excited to take photos of the twins. I even made a bet with Kelvin and Chee Peng. That i will give them SGD1000 if the any of the 2 gals allow them to carry without crying. I had fun looking at them trying but as i've dared to make the bet, im sure the twins would not fail me. and true enough, i din lose. Phew.....

Overall, not too bad a year.....will upload the photos soon....
