Friday, February 11, 2005 chinese new year!!
the past 2 days was great.... the night before chinses new year i spent the night at my cousin's playing kingdom hearts... started a new game and completed alice in wonderland... went home at around 5 to catch some sleep.... was so tired... complete knockout...
woke up next morning.... felt nothing at first... when i got up i felt a difficulty in breathing... oh no... asthma coming back... but why at this time...? doesn't matter.... got up, get dressed and ready to go!!
first headed to my grandpa's place... reached there at about 10.... we were the first to arrive... as usual.... waited for ablout 1/2 an hour and heard ah bee's(my younger cousin) voice... he was screaming all the way... got a scolding for making a din later on... ah mel(bee's brother) forgot to bring Sims Burstin Out with him... so the wait for the 3rd uncle was rather boring... so 3 men, my grandpa, my dad and my uncle started to play poker, smoke and drink.... went into the room to have a look... 5 seconds later and im half dead... cant take the smoke.. my asthma worsened and started to cough really badly... decided to head out for some fresh air....at around 1 my 3rd uncle arrived... got a dressing down from all the adults.... and he packed a bigger ang bao for being late... hee hee... he wanted to play poker.... so have to wait till 2... in the meantime my aunt cant stand the smoke in the house any more and decided to bring us down to macdonalds.... she saved my life.... hate smoke man... too bad the guys in my family smoke....
headed to our first destination... played black jack.... was tempted into playing... from 0 bucks played till i got 14... gambled!! God will punish me... boo hoo....
we rushed to our 2nd destination... 3 cars... one a BMW... another a Hyundai tryjet... 3rd a toyota.... we raced each other to the finishing line!! bee and my sis are screaming when we overtake their car or they overtake ours.... hahz... was so exciting... dun even care what's on the screen on the tv of my dad's car...
reached the 2nd destination.... bee was screaming... again... at the sight of a turtle... i think the size of a textbook...? rather big.... he went'' hello tortise... wake up leh... dun sleep....'' hhaz... made fun of him....
there was a grand piano... i oogled at it for a while... and it's owner asked me to play a piece... hahz... all i can play on the piano is ''gu dan bei ban qui''.... so i played anyway....was good... no errors.... den she played ''flight of the bumble bee''.... my jaws dropped as i saw her fingers... so fast!! admired her... she had a diploma in piano and give lessons....
rushed to my granny's house... ate some bee hoon... nice man... my aunt's lemon tiger prawns are the best... rushed home to invite a tiger and a lion!!!
rushed home... took a quick shower... and anticipated the arrival of the lion dance troop... finally a faint sound of drums can be heard... and slowly it approaches and finally they reached out block... 3 truck of lions and stuff.... first was a dragon dance.... where many people hold sticks connecting to a dragon.... den the dragon follow a ball... run here run there... those guys were great... supporting each other, they lean back like the matrix to show the dragon weaving in and out, following the ball... it was awsome... we prepared a large plate with oranges and some veggies... the dragon dancers formed a chinese word ''wang''... and ended the dance.... it was followed by a lion dance... they brought a ladder..... so they hung some veggies from my house on the second floor on a long bamboo pole... the lion playfully jumps up... eat the veggie... and presented the dunno what it's called thingy to my dad... it's so cool.... everyone on the block was looking!! but my dad gave a $888 ang bao to them... siala... broke liao...
after that they played big 2... again... this time at my uncle's house.... who is only around 19...? my aunt... young enough to be my sister... only 17 this year... reminds me of xiao shi and leela.... she's like a mixture of them... so pretty... my dad have been winning.... around $700 now... hhaz... he've been really lucky... lost 50 at first but won $200 in the end at one night... got 4 '''di'' for 4 games... that's around 300 bucks.... i continued to play kingdom hearts.... completed oylimpia colloseum and halfway through deep jungle right now....
next day we played mahjong.... this time no money involved... i lost some small ones at first.... den when i ''zhuang'' i won 3 times in a row... 2 times ''zhi muo''... 1 time got 5 ''fan''.... total got around 50 bucks... those who play mahjong know what i mean.... ;p
went to woodlands... the fun fair there is expensive... $7.50 for a ride... spent $67.50 in total... it's so stupid... michael wanted to come... mum disallowed... oh well... save his money....
