first, i was stuck in the traffic for 6 hours trying to get back to Taiping (my hometown). WHY? cos every1's going back home as well no thanks to the long holidays. so, not only chinese people r going home. so there u go.
travelled from KLIA at approx. 10pm and reached home about 4am in the morning.. hell man.
apparently everyone travels at night now n every1's also heading north. it was quite empty on the other side of the highway.
anyways, i knw dat most people have reunion*dinner* but my family have reunion lunch AND dinner as well.
all my cousins, nieces n aunts were home too. so for the reunion lunch, it'll be at my house. so my mom had to cook alot of stuff since every1's coming over. =)
the FOOD was awesome.. and the fellowship was great. everyone was having a great time.
so, after they went home, i started making some unfinished cookies n snacks dat i asked my mom to make for CNY.. then, i ate those mandarin oranges like nobody's business. (hehe) oh yeah, i was in time to catch a movie at the cinema with my brothers..which was Wolfman. not good. i almost slept in the cinema. =.="
anyways, i had reunion dinner in my late grandma's house with the same group of people. we did the "low sang" thingy.. it was fun n hilarious..my cousins crack the jokes most of the time.hahaha. i dun like to eat the yee sang thingy anyway. too sweet. and as usual, it was hot as hell during the eve of cny. no a/c in the house..cos my mom said we'll tend to on it every single day. =.=
n when i was bz doin my cookies.. n when the clock struck 12am n when everyone's excited to greet the CNY, the whole housing area in my garden black-ed out. W.T.F?! it was pitch-dark. not forgetting it's the hottest days of the year. everyone was hanging outside the house..cos its so warm in the house. n people were playing fireworks n they are the really nice ones.. =)
the electricity came on at about 3am n everyone went to sleep right away. HAHA.
1st day of CNY. i woke up at 12pm.haha. go collect my ang paos n went home straight away. not staying any longer at my relative's home cos its hot like hell. watched another movie with my brothers in the cinema again---- 14 blades. it was nice. then spent the whole night watching tv n eat n eat n eat n eat..munch munch munch..hehe
2nd day? went to penang to send my 2nd brother back to the ship to work.. how sad. later i went to emma's open house.. more food..! hahaha. CNY is also about eating btw. din spend much time with my friends this time being home cos its cny n its hard to get the whole family altogether at home. 1 week break is definitely not enough for me. anyways, i did meet up with a group of friends n had to let down another group of friends cos the timing was not right. =(
hopefully i get to meet them during my next sembreak. =)
we didnt even have time to play badminton n karaoke. that's how packed my schedule was.
oh yeah, went to my schoolmate's wedding on 2nd day on CNY. congrats hui kean! =)
met so many of my ex-schmates.
it is true dat weddings n funerals(touch wood) always bring people together.
i guess i'll stop here.. if not this post will be like so freaking long.haha.
