Chinese New Year

Whew... Finally I'm able to blog about CNY, after 3 days at Ah Ma's house celebrating it. Hahaha... ^^"

Feb 8 - Chinese New Year eve. Went to Ah Ma's house early to prepare for the reunion dinner at about 1pm-ish. Helped out in the kitchen by making meatballs, slicing mushrooms and stuff. After a while, I ran upstairs to look for the boys. Watched Shutter for the 2nd time. Andrew was scared and jumped at a few parts. Luke wasn't and even sat by himself. Hahahaha... Went home, showered and came back to Ah Ma's house for the reunion dinner. Did the usual Lo Hei with the Yu Sheng. Had a sumptuous steamboat dinner in the (very hot and stuffy) kitchen while the parents got to eat it (where there was aircon) outside. Wished Gong Gong and Ah Ma Happy New Year, got our ang baos. As usual, $100!! Muahaha... Went home at 1am.

Feb 9 - First day of Chinese New Year. Woke up early for the 9.15am mass at St Bernadette's church. Wore our new clothes. ^____^ Gong Gong got a little giddy and almost fainted due to heat and because his pants were on too tight. Some parishioners were really kind to lend us Hong You and gave him a bottle of water. Mum, Emily and I ended up fanning him to cool him down. Went back to Ah Ma's house, had lunch and then disappeared again upstairs to watch Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Played blackjack, but because we were all so unwilling to part with our money, we gambled using Gui Chee... XD At 3pm-ish we went to Por Por's house to bai nian. They were all over at Lao Mhm's house. So we headed over there. Stuck around talking before we headed over back to the house to watch Shutter!! Hahaha... Uncle Joe jumped at a few parts!! XP Watched Ouija Board as well. Mum kept asking questions. Hahaha... Had dinner there, stuck around watching some weird chinese comedy. Hahaha... Stephen Chow as usual.

Feb 10 - Second day of Chinese New Year. Woke up late, stayed at home for lunch. Used the computer, watched tv, read a book. Then around 3pm-ish, headed back to Ah Ma's house in another set of new clothes. Shuyan Shuyan was there, her brother as well. Sean, he's so cute!! Gabrielle, Damien, Ann and Claire came later. They are ALL so KAWAII!!!!!!!! But Damien doesn't let me carry him... T.T Everytime I try and carry him he pushes me away... Waaah!! Hahaha... Gabrielle, Damien, Edward, Shuyan Shuyan and Sean all watched Stitch the movie when I put it in. But after I walked out of the room, they followed me... -____-" Diao... Hahaha... Guess they really like me huh... But after a while, the bigger kids ran in... And we watched... SHUTTER!! -_______-" Yes, again. For the fourth time. This time there was a whole crowd which made it all the better to scream with. Hahaha... After, we went down for dinner, Father Ho was there. Blessed all of us. Parents all said, "So we will have good grades." But what if we fail??? XP Who do we blame?? Father Ho??? XD Then we played mahjong, play until sian so we just sat around and watched tv till our parents said, "Go home"

Man, after all that, I think I'm going to get fat... Ate so much steamboat and CNY goodies... Hahaha... Oh and in total, my ang baos were... *drumroll* $364!! Hahaha... I think.

Anyway, here's the pics!! chinese new year feb '05
