Yawn..i am totally exhausted and fat. This year's chinese new year is definitely a disappointment. First it is the lack of festive feel..I mean i really don't mind the insufficient decorations and stuff..but i was so shock to realise that all the shopping centres in Orchard road were closed!! In Hongkong, Chinese new year is like the busiest season. I think shopping centres actually open for longer hours instead of closing..Second it is the really poor red packet business (money face me) haha..was looking forward to a shopping spree after chinese new year..but i guess for now..i better stick to my plan of working and saving till i go for my crazy spree..third..the never ending fatty food that is transforming into fatty tissue in my body and making my fatty tummy even fattier..(why can't fats just go to places they shd go! rahh) There is still tons of food on my dining table and a BIG packet of lays sour creme and oinion chips luring me in the kitchen................oh and many cans of coke (not coke light. damnnn) and peach justea (my favvv) and pineapple juice in the fridge....
New year's eve. mom,sis and I got busy in the kitchen making nian gao..carrot cake and waterchestnut cake..it was all pretty successful!! i brought 2 cakes over to cy's place and his mom really liked it :)next year..we are gonna attempt pineapple tarts!! anyways.mom ordered this pan chai thing from crystal jade..it is a popular custom in hk. a big bowl with lots of food inside. That thing cost S$148 but the food worth really just $48. They said there will be this and that in the bowl..and we found basically nothing. we were like utterly disappointed and unsatisfied.
anyways the next day go bai bai lor. chunyat came over to my house and then i went over to his. what can i say. each time i go over to his house is a big challenge to me. Especially when his dad is around. don't be mistaken..His dad is really a nice guy. but scary too! I was bai-nianing to him..and he just played his Dota and didn't even look at me!! but chunyat said it is normal la. so i guess it shd be fine:) Actually i will rather it that way. that he didn't talk to me..the first time i went over to his place to meet his parents for dinner...his dad really scared me. He started telling me haka's history..and how women in the past would be working in the fields while men played majong in the house. and then he corrected my way of holding the rice bowl and counted the number of dumplings i ate. (he was making sure that i ate more than 10) And when he asked whether i watched TV at home during dinner. i said "no..coz the TV is quite far from the dining table" (my dining and living room is kinda long..so it is hard to see the TV from the dining table) and he replied." wah you live in a mansion ah"..and coz i gave Dora (chunyat's sister) a mug..he asked me for his present too. then after almost an hour of him talking normally and me heart pounding, freaking out like shit and grabbing chunyat's hand under the table like mad...he said..'hahaha.. do you still dare to come next time?" i almost died that evening. but chunyat said his dad likes me..and he is like that all the time..i felt a little better. oh and the other time i had lunch with his family..his dad corrected my way of holding chopsticks..and said that i am really bad at physics coz i held the chopsticks too high and that according to the lever theory thing..i shd hold it nearer to the middle of the chopsticks..OH! and at the end of the lunch..he gave a math question that is unsolvable and asked me to solve it. cute dad he is.
yesterday..met dear shing. thx dear for coming out. appreciate it loads. then dad forced me to go home for dinner. but by the time i rushed home. they already finished dinner. so i was home for like 5 mins? then i was out again to go back to town and meet shing,mk and cy. Had dinner (again) at spaggetti's. OMG that place is a rip off. then we hanged around..tried to catch a movie but didn't..then shing's poor feet was killing her so we went starbucks then we headed home. ahh. i am lazy to type..so shall end here.
