Gong xi fa cai! Xin nian kuai le!

It's the year of the Ox again. That's two rounds of the zodiac in my life.

Reunion dinner as usual at my parent's place - steamboat. Still in steamboat withdrawl from our mini reunion dinner with the tenents so didn't manage to eat much. Although I am proud that I did eat more than 10 crabsticks, probably.

Had reunion dinner at Dan's granny's place on Saturday, which made things much simpler - less fluster to finish one then rush to another for 2nd round. And with my shrinking appetite, I doubt I can pull of such a feat anymore.

And visiting takes on the familiar routine that we've been undertaking for years - from as long as I can remember actually. Kum po's home then Tiong Bahru.

I'm am thankful that most of my relatives stay in clusters in the same area, which really reduces the need to travel, making CNY visiting so much more convenient. It's either up or down a floor, or just the next block. Yay.

And after that, it'll be to Dan's granny's and prob Dan's mom's, which most likely will result in a night of mahjong and gambling.

Well, my lonely CNY eve has ended, since Dan has returned from a round of MJ from his mom's. Time to hit the sack and prepare for the festivities to come.

Gong xi fa cai! Wan shi ru yi! I LOVE YOU MY SMELLY BEBE
