CNY
Had a lot of fun during CNY. This year's one is a little more special because 2nd sis and Kaylee are celebrating with us in SG!
Done my own nails for CNY! So bothersome to stick it perfectly plus I'm a perfectionist. But my left hand turned out pretty damn nice :) Right hand wasn't bad too :))
Didn't really take any pictures during this year's CNY. Don't need any pictures to retain memories though :)
As usual had some steamboat and yusheng on the 31st of Jan, eve! Ahma's dementia was pretty bad, could see the difference, last year's CNY she prepared everything and took over the kitchen and instructed everyone; this year she just sits on the sofa staring at people...
Luckily Dayi's family came a little earlier this year and helped prepare all the wuxiang and herhpio and steamboat stuff and basically most of the cooking these few days. This years steamboat was really really good, the scallops were so GIGANTIC, it's like the diameter of a pool ball!
Kaylee learnt the art of tossing yusheng haha so cute her mini rotund hand.
Went to por por house on the first day early in the morning, so good to have YF drive us!!! Didn't even see half the usual relatives before we had to go.
And mahjong. Look at my tiles on drawing-.- Luckily this round stalemate nobody won!!!
Some cousins!

Bainian at Yunwei's house on the second day with the stupefy girls. So good to see them again, too bad I couldn't stay long. Had this really nice yusheng at her place with lemon or some secret ingredient idk so nice! Her father also baked this potato cheese thing for our dinner which was so tasty!!!

3rd day. Went to Hokey Pokey with Kaylee and the sisters and CS. Its a children playground place at Millenia Walk, so many angmohs there, and like only one other chinese family hahaha. Just walked around, shop shop, lim kopi, then went back to the gathering. Ahgu cooked prawn noodles with was awesomeeeee. DAT SOUP STOCK.

No more gathering on the fourth day :( Kaylee had school though so the sisters planned an outing. Generation gap and morning timing making it so difficult to find an activity. Went to Marina Sq's Kbox in the end. So freaking expensive?! At least there's food... can't sing the usual hip songs because my sisters are so OLD. Surprisingly, they don't even know that many english old songs... and TF can't sing... the little tone deafness still understandable. But I just don't understand, if you can project your voice while you talk, why can't you do the same while singing?????? Because throughout the whole session, I only heard whispers from her??? My brain not wrapping around this fact?

After we were done, we saw the Mediacorp Alvin filming which was pretty cool. Looks really uncomfortable though, mic taped on the inside of their shirt, a crowd forming to kaypoh/stare/fanclub, 3 gigantic dadeng boards closely surrounding their faces. Like seriously, I think their eyesight will deteriorate pretty quickly.
Later while shopping around, we saw xiaxue too! Like her hair so pretty! But she's not that pretty in real life...
Got some Coldstone and sushi express yusheng just for our family.
The roe and ratty salmon!!! :P

OH YEAH
Mum found my DS after like.... 7 years. Because she hid it and then forgot about it. Thanks much?!?!
But it still works so... Pokemon Diamond and Animal Crossing :D

And so much mahjong!!! Still can't exactly get all the hu and tai rules... And yusheng. And more mahjong. And yusheng.
So sad CNY family gatherings all over :( Why can't the chinese calender be like 6 months long? Then CNY will be biannual.

I totally can't end this post smoothly soooooooo (thanks to not posting actively)
yeah.
Qf out ( ノ^ω^)ノ゚
