Happy Lunar/Chinese New Year

The Lunar/Chinese New Year is a time of reunions, new clothes, new bedsheets, new shoes, new this, new that, new everything!! And this year we usher in the year of the Rat.

The reunion dinner was boisterous as usual, with all the relatives gathered together at my grandmother's house today. This year however, we had new guests!! :D

All the way from England, my 3rd aunt's mother-in-law finally migrated to Singapore and spent Lunar New Year with us. Although not her first time celebrating, she did get into the mood of things and gave out red packets this year!! How wonderful.

My eldest cousin's Australian born friend working alone in Singapore was invited over to spend the Lunar New Year with our family. Not good for me though, because she took it upon herself to try and matchmake me with him.
Like BLAAAAAH. Pfft. *roll eyes* Why don't YOU find yourself a boyfriend first before trying to find one for me? After all, you're like what? 6/7 years older than me? @@

Another one was my 2nd eldest cousin's girlfriend, whom I hope she'll be my cousin-in-law soon! xD She's a really sweet girl and all the little kiddies seem to like her too! :D

My little cousins are so adorable. Every moment spent with them will leave you squealing over their cuteness. Anne and Claire still adore me to the point that they stalk my every move. It's kinda annoying. Gabrielle's like a koala bear clinging to you. Charles and Damien still can be a little difficult, only giving you attention if you pull the right play moves on them. xD But they're easily distracted by the big boys playing Halo and Dead Rising on the xBox360, all of which are not suitable for their young eyes. >_>

Didn't see the Kor family this time round, they decided to stay at home with their own reunion dinner and hog our mahjong table. T_T Boooo. Does this mean I might not be able to play mahjong before I leave Singapore. Uwah.

We're attending a Chinese CNY mass tomorrow morning for the sake of my grandparents who don't understand English, but that's good. Because most of the extended family will be there. Lunch back at my Ah ma's and then we're heading over to my Por Por's house for a reunion dinner for my mother's side.

At least I'll be able to see Darrick before I leave. I've only seen him ONCE in my whole holidays back here.. What with his BMT and all. xD

So here marks the end of CNY eve and the beginning of CNY.
Fly off on the morning of the 3rd day. T_T

*begins countdown*
And I'm only 3/4 packed. Le sigh.
