happy lunar new year to allits still the cny season but my life is getting suckier by the day. i just don't understand why!just returned from dinner with my family and eating with them is not at all enjoyable. fine, it used to be but not anymore. everyone changed and its pure depressing ):i'd rather eat alone then as a family now. all that tension just sucks!cityhall area was seriously jamm-packed today. we tried parking at raffles place but couldnt find a lot so we decided to leave. and then we got stuck for 30mins at the carpark exit! apparently it was because of an important function at swissotel as well as the orchard road blockage for chingay rehearsals. i was like famished by then."a hungry man is an angry man"and so you would have guessed my mood.enough bout that. today school started with chapel in which the principal started crapping about some senior staffs in sajc - i slept till adelina woke me up. for civics we played some dumb game called "SKUNK" and lyndon chua treated all 4 groups to icecream waffle at the POP cafe. it was probably the nicest thing that ever came from him (:claire kenbin and i shared one with ripple icecream;
and yona had a strawberry one all by himself lar!
made-to-order fragrant butterscotch waffles, looks tempting uh?slowly ate and chatted till we all lost track of time and were late for gp. got questioned by randy gill, then kenbin said "oh, we were preparing for the lesson". haha bcos of that,we were excused =phad fishball meekia for lunch again- its like starting to become one of my favourite food here. its simple and filling, but the price is a total ripoff. $2 for a pathetic bowl of noodles.CHINESE NEW YEAR 
Chinatown was still as happening as ever.had 2 reunion dinners as usual; with both paternal & maternal grandmothers.mum's side one was at this vegetarian restaurant at Bedok South Road (apparently recommended by uncle jason)18 Lohan Vegetarian Delight
the food's pretty terrible actually, and the only appealing dish was the deep-fried 'golden pillows'. it was a special order by uncle jason, not part of our new year set dinner.
bits of filling in that cripsy golden-brown shell.the crowd:
3 table-full of people!2nd reunion with dad's sideat the Padang Palace Restaurant
sumptious spread of luxury food but the price was also a whole load more! the abalones were good but the overall meal wasn't worth the price paid.
day one was like usual- going to the same places like the previous years. but there was a drastic decrease in ang bao money! ):
homemade yusheng by grandma- its her specialty dish every cny.
ready to toss yearly lion dance at uncle elvin's place;
ooh, i actually didnt lose at blackjack this year! haha overall winnings of $1.50- could have been more if i had the discipline to stop early but im contented (: Im always losing money until this year okay. unfortunately, i wasted like 2 bucks trying my luck on 4D. bleahs.on the 3rd day, the taitai gang met at shilin's place for mahjong! lunch was at the hongkong cafe as usual. played for like hours, but i was on a complete losing streak. sad case.school posting on 6th march, wish me luck!
