CNY @ SQ's house

hockey babes met up at siqian's house yesterday for our first ever new year party together. it started off with chee and i getting off at the wrong bus stop. the instruction was to alight at the fourth bus stop. but we were too engrossed in talking that we forgot to count. so we only started counting right after we realized that we forgotten about it. and we ended up at the 7th bus stop which was like 10 miles away from qian's house. when we got there, aud bel and ari were there alr. aud lost her way too. she almost drove to malaysia la. haha had dinner, played mahjong, watched tv and took alott of photos. it was really nice hanging out with the hockey babes. and i'm really really going to miss SQ so much when shes in shanghai!!

Chingay parade 2009

it was my first time watching the chingay parade last saturday. and i was glad it was with hockey babe siqan. not a very big fan of chingay, but i had to support meichee!! her hall was taking part in it and she was one of the dancers. wouldn't wanna miss that. met qian at city hall before heading our way to the chingay parade. there were like four different stages, so we just stayed at one, which was along connaught drive. the place was super crowded. qian and i were squeezed like sardines. yea the floats were colourful and the dancers were ethusisatic, but there was a point when qian and i were actually stoning. we were only waiting for chee's hall to appear. SO after a looong wait of 2 hours, chee's hall finally appeared! we started looking for chee. lo and behold, we saw her walking along the road. being her usual self, qian started shouting her name so loudly that the people around us immediately formed a radius around us. meichee got super high when she saw us too and she was like jumping and shouting. i really think the people around us thought we were crazy or sth. but still, we were glad we manage to see chee!

CNY @ my house

TGL chinese new year party at my house last friday. grandma came over to cook dinner for us. appreciate it alott. glad the guys love the food. we had yu sheng too!! then it was a few rounds of ban luck. my dad was the dealer for the first few rounds. in the beginning, eugene was on a winning streak. won quite alott until he became the dealer. lol. so it was chunboon who ended up the biggest winner. and he only bet 50cents in every round la. i think i lost $10. THEN we decided to play mahjong instead. the funniest mahjong session i ever had in years. it was also the slowest game ever. we have like eugene and zhilei taking years to decide which tile to throw (and i really mean years! they were so long la) there was also chunboon doing all the stupid stuff. he actually mistook the bird (yi shuo) as a flower. it was really hilarious when he put the tile on the table together with the other flower tiles.
