A different CNY




Couldn't celebrate CNY this year as grandfather passed away last july...had a nice dinner on the eve of CNY then stayed up late to shou shui. For the first day, stayed at home to try to do my work but didn't really have the mood to do them, tried to get a nap but also failed...
Went to Teddy Chua's place on the second day to celebrate with his family. Played Monopoly Deal Transformers after dinner with his cousin and brother's gf.
On the third day, Teddy Chua met us at my house to go to the temple in Boon Lay to pray before we went to Sindy's house for the Chinese New Year lunch. They got a mobile restaurant to cook for their relatives and friends. It was a 8 course lunch and they were able to fit 16 tables in their house! Very impressive...it was a normal meal table that sits 10 or 11 adults...we went to Orchard next cos wanted to get the Valentine's Day gift for Teddy Chua. In the end I couldn't decide which brand of backpack to get him so had to get him to go see. Bought a porter brand backpack for him in the end. Bought a Jap magazine which gave away hello kitty earphones. I like the clothes and shoes featured in the magazine...will try to look for similar ones in Sg.
On the fourth day, went to have ng ah sio bak kut teh with Dad's taiwanese friends in the morning. Dad sent me to Teddy Chua's house and I had lunch there before we went to Funan to get his youngest bro's birthday gift. We bought a lenovo thinkpad from mc2. Had dinner at Singapore Swimming Club and tried the brownie cheesecake.
This year's new year is quite different but managed to get a good rest.
