Happy Chinese New Year! GONG XI FA CAI!
Though a bit late, but I’m still in time before the 15th day :p!
Argh, stuck in the office on Sat.. sleepy.. last night watched Joey’s Starlight concert in HK’s DVD, this was my bd present last year :p. Wow her voice is so powerful.. she don’t even have any high notes that go out of tune after so many songs.. she can even dance quite well.. ha.. I’m impressed…. I can’t see any flaws in her singing till now.. Plus she is so slim.. *envy* The only thing is all her concert songs and talking are in Cantonese.. which I don’t understand wor..
To recap: -
The Sat before CNY, Der brought me to Sobasei at Fairway. The food was very good as usual.. Then we went prawning.. Saw Xiao Chen Uncle, wished him Happy New Year but no Ang Bao was given.. lolz
CNY eve:
Father, Mum and I went to Tian Jin Lou (Tian Jin Restaurant) at Chinatown to have our reunion dinner on CNY eve..As the roads were closed, we alighted at 2 bus stops away and had to walk a distance to the restaurant. There were crowds in the Chinatown area as anticipated. We squeezed past hordes of people and alas, we still have to wait for the 1st round of customers to clear as we were the 2nd round at 8pm. Anyway, the food is not bad.. except for the Seabass.. as the fish meat is pathetic! Thumbs up for the ‘Pork Ribs’ and ‘Asparagus in XO Sauce’. I simply like anything fried with XO Sauce. Anyway we didn’t shop around after that, only bought curry fish balls for takeaway…
1st Day:
Went visiting to Grandma’s house. No one was around till Sis and family came after half an hour or so.. Later more people came and Der came also.. Mum dragged him to play Mahjong with Uncle and the rest.. he lost $40! Had steamboat after that.. loved it.. Mum does not like to prepare steamboat only can eat at other place.. After that, Der has to go visting to his Grandma’s house so Mum dragged me to play Mahjong. Was the first time that I played without Der’s guidance.. Ha.. Won $20.. actually can win $40 but Aunt thought I don’t know how to play so initially we agreed upon 50% loss & profit.. Anyway it was a good start for the ‘Niu’ Year!
2nd Day:
Had agreed that he will come fetch me to his house. Last min, he told me he’s still playing Mahjong and couldn’t fetch me. He told me to take cab he will foot the bill. But I took bus and I wanted him to come downstairs.. in the end, I realized he’s playing halfway and everyone stopped playing because of me..
After playing, went a short while to visit his Grandma and Uncle before we proceeded to prawning at Lakeside again! This time caught many prawns we had Mee Soto for dinner.. Xiao Chen Uncle still never give me Ang Bao as promised.. hmp!
Last Sat 6th Day:
In the afternoon, went for Body Combat class at GWC.
Der’s mum was suddenly admitted to hospital. We went to visit her at SGH in the evening. She had high blood pressure.. We bought some pears and bird’s nest with rock sugar for her.. But din realized that she couldn’t consume anything sweet at the moment.. Went back to his house to have steamboat.. but there were no fish (my ‘Must Have’ for steamboat).
Last Sunday 7th Day:
Mum asked us to go to Sis house for steamboat for lunch but Der refused. He said he has bought lunch back and he do not like to go to their house! Ok.. so we stayed in his house watched DVD and tv.. till he suddenly developed rashes (on and off for few months liao) and we went to Jurong to see skin doctor recommended by Xiao Chen Uncle.. but it was closed.. we had dinner at the nearby hawker before heading back..
Heard from Der that his Mum’s condition turned for the worse she is in ICU ward now.. Hope she will recover soon.. Der visited a skin doc and was given a few courses of medicine.. he said he’s getting better now..
As for me, I din visit gym for the past 1 week. Lazy and was having menses.... Went to ‘Touche’ at Orchard on Wed and I wanted to get rid of my milia seeds so went for laser burning.. she said try for few for the first time. So now my right side of the face is so ugly with red spots.. she said will go away in 1 week’s time.. Hopefully…
Thinking of picking up swimming again.. checked with a female coach, cost $150 for 1-1 for 4 sessions. 45min/session.. she said best price liao.. is it expensive??
