The pig's gone and the rat's here. Yay, i like the year of the rat. :D
CNY celebration was quite fun, the qipao modelling thing was so cool! and pretty. Class party was She's the Man. Very funny and channing tatum ♥. Hope you're alright Ms Kee. Went shopping with Jiawen afterwards cuz yenyee pangsehed us. We walked for hours but didn't buy anything but it's ok, cuz we're both very not-impulsive buyers and very scared of shopper's regret (jiawen's term). She convinced me out of buying the not very worth it umbrella. :D we had takoyaki and i don't like octopus. it's so.. weird. haha. i'll just stick to ham and cheese.
CNY this year has been slightly more fun than last year. Just visiting but i saw my distant cousins! They are absolutely adorable. A pair of boy two-year old twins, Leonard and Lucas. They're very hyper and jump around, bringing coke and sweets to you when their parents tell them to. The older one's very smiley but shy while the younger one looks kinda fierce, hardly smiles but is very friendly. heh. when we tried to take the older one away, the younger one pulled him to a corner and blocked us away! haha, awesomely cute.
But my parents' old friends gathering was still oh-so boring. and it's worse this year as it was at someone's semi-detached, unlike last year's multi-purpose hall where at least there's somewhere to disappear to when you have nothing to do. Maybe it's cuz i don't go socialise with the other kids or something, couldn't be bothered to. So my brothers and i just hid in the kitchen and played hangman. ah well, at least there were angpows. That night was much better. We went to my uncle's new house. Omg, it was very big, very luxurious and very very pretty. It's like a small scale palace, really, complete with gorgeous mini pool and all. And for once in a long time, my cousins and i played cards. haha, i learnt how to play texas poker but i think i was the first one to bankrupt (we used chips instead of money). I won like once or twice only.
On another note, i swear i am never going into the amazon. Anaconda did a fine job making sure of that.
Dang, school's starting again tmr.
(Sorry there aren't any pics for anything. There probably won't be any for a while. My poor camera conked out on me. )
