GONG XI FA CAI!!!

Before I begin, Happy Chinese New Year to all! Yep, it's now the 5th day of the lunar new year. Looks like a brand new beginning again.

The first few days of CNY were spent visiting. Not very packed but still rather eventful. CNY's eve was spent at my grandpa's place for reunion dinner. It was still ok. Then on the first day itself, we went to the temple early in the morning. Well, the usual drill every year I guess. Went to pray for a good year ahead. :)

Nothing much on that day actually. The more memorable ones include going to my maternal grandma's house on the second day. And we took some nice pictures this time round too! Yet to upload those photos though. Haha. But we had fun nevertheless. Just chatting with my cousins and aunts and all that. All those funny 'bickerings'. Hahaha.

On the third day, went for tuition in the afternoon to which I collected my first month's pay from this sec 1 boy I was teaching. Though it was half the full fees, but at least I am quite satisfied. Haha. Some more I am teaching him Chinese. Wah. Haha.

After that, went to dearie's place in the evening. Her relatives and family friends were all there. I think there were more than 50 people that night! The steamboat was really delicious and sumptuous. Haha. Oh ya. I forgot to mention that this year round, I find myself gambling sia! It is rather rare of me to do that. Haha. But well, new year ma. So might as well join in the fun this time. Didn't think I really win much but it was definitely a good start. Haha. Now I know why people like to gamble during such festive periods. Really part of the fun. And what's more? To earn extra moolah besides the red packets!! Hahaha.

Honestly speaking, I wasn't really in the festive mood before CNY. But that mood kicked in gradually. With friends and family around. And of course my dearest love. :)

So yah, before CNY ends, enjoy the festive season while you can!

It's going to be a tough year ahead. But we'll pull through! I'm sure!

But hor, must be as hardworking as an ox la.

Mooooooooooooooooooooooooo. =D
