argh!

This is the second time i'm actually posting this... well, the stupid thing didn't load the first time so i'm typing all these all over again... so argh!

Anyways, here's a roundup of what i did these past few days...

CNY Eve was spent at Chinatown with Dan, Zhao Yan, AJ, WeiXian and Wing... managed to watch the firecrackers and the fire works... first time witnessing the actually 'cracking' of firecrackers and i must say tht they are LOUD... but it was really nice watching... interesting and quite festive... then came the fireworks... it was so beautiful... like colourful glitter being sprinkled across the sky... so bright and pretty... and the different patterns they explode into... so unexpectable yet wonderful... always wondered how they work... After that came the WAR ZONE... we went walking and squeezing through the hoards of people in the streets and it was horrible! some streets were so crowded we couldn't even move... but it was really interesting... getting into the crowd and all... but i dun think i'll do that ever again... haha... one time's enough for me... it was my first CNY eve spent there... haha... and prob my last...

CNY day one was spent visiting... woke up to the sounds of lion dance... went to Tampines, then Tiong Bahru before finally proceeding to Dan's place... it was a nice day... full of ang baos... haha... went down to Laura's place after that... quite nice... watched them gamble a little and chit chatted for a while... Toby's really a huge dog... didn't even dare to pet him... haha...

CNY day two was spent at home... relatives came over to visit and i left for work in the evening, which was good too cos they were turning my room into a mahjong arena anyways... haha... Dan came over to my workplace and even entered to have soup cos he came before i knocked off... joined him at the table after working and he actually got the soup for free cos the manager waived it off... so nice of him... thanks Uncle! Dan came over to my place and then he taught me how to play mahjong... still quite messy and unclear but at least i have a general idea now... we also played a couple of rounds of pair and 'In Between'... overall, i lost to him... darn...

CNY day three was spent visiting AhTai... Orh Ba and Eh Kao came over too... they had drinks, talked, snacked, gambled... i was supposed to go for training but they didn't want me to go so Dan called Lisien and told her my 'Dad' didn't allow me to go... and actually got Ah Tai to talk to her posing as my dad... well, not really false too cos he is my stepdad... haha... anyways, i didn't go and we had dinner at KFC... that's when they said that i'd be fat when i'm 30... argh...

CNY day four was spent shopping with Dan, Charles and Aiway... went town and shopped... Dan bought a wallet for himself (it's about time!)... then we went to far east to shop around... saw Zhao Yan at a shop opp Far East... bought some snacks from her and teased her too, asusual... haha... Aiway and i got a cap each... i got a black Nike one... it fit my head well so i tot i had to get it... haha... shopped around a little more before heading to Constant Craving for lunch... i had the Fish 'n' Chips; Dan had the Lemon Dory as usual; Aiway had the same as Dan and Charles had the Shitake Mushroom Spag... we also had desserts... i had the tiramisu (very nice but too much whipped cream!); Charles had the cheesecake (very very very nice! yummy!); Dan had the very sweet caramel pudding... we then left for more shopping after that... Dan bought me a Nightmare Before Christmas tissue box cover which cost $18... so ex rite? so not worth it... told him not to buy it yet he wanted to... haiz... but i do like it now... he already bought it anyways... i still appreciate it... :) we then went on to Kiehl's... Aiway bought a lip balm and a hair masque at a total of $60... i bought the lip balm too... actually Dan bought it for me... thanks hon! love it! can't wait to try it... yippies! Aiway had to leave soon after, presumably to try the masque... haha... totally understand... hehe... so Charles, Dan and I headed to Newton Circus for dinner... had tulang (tried the marrow for the first and last time today... no thanks man... but the gravy and mutton was nice), zut zut (tried it for the first time today too... tried a few... it's actually quite tasteless but the gravy's nice... i got sick and tired of it and quite freaked out when i actually saw what the thing looked like after scrutinising one after sucking it out of the shell... eeek... prob the first and last time i'm eating it too... haha)... then went on to have chicken wings which were quite nice... but still not better than the ones in Jurong... haha... we all then took the train home... i went over to Ling Na's place... had some chit chat, watched a little of Keeping the Faith... then played with her cats... she's got a new one - Mocha... looks a little like a Siamese... hugged it but it ran off a couple of times... haha... it's got bluish-green eyes... so pretty... it was nice talking to them again... i had to leave at abt 12.30am cos i was getting a ride from Bao Ling's dad... she's actually in MCM too and she's in CTV... sad to say i've never really talked to her before today... thanks for the ride though... :)

I had a great time today... did a lot of things, met up with a lot of nice people... really enjoyed myself... it's back to sch on Mon though... and it's IVP... the first match... ahhhh... wish me luck ya? will need loads of it... and guess what? it's V-day on Mon too... another day of celebrating... haha... geez... prob going to Holland V with Dan after the match for dinner... thanks dear... well, here's wishing everyone a great and magical V-day... :)
