CNY Yadda Yadda
It's the most tedious CNY ever! I swear! (which explains no blogging for the past couple of days!) Warning! This will be a lengthy entry! Go for a loo break and make yourself a cuppa coffee first!
See, first day of CNY -> we woke up at 9am, zoomed off to in-laws place for family portrait (yeh, it's a thing they practise on every CNY, gee..), then to my parents' for breakfast, followed by hubby's paternal granny's place (Bedok), and to my uncle's place for late lunch (Boon Lay), AND eventually ended at hubby's maternal granny's for sharksfins (Lavendar)*pant pant*
Hubby was bored..that's why...
Day 2 started with a good chanting session at the Soka Association in Telok Blangah. It was my first trip but never the last. Had witnessed the faithful Soka members volunteering their time in CNY to be ushers and traffic controllers for the Association. Their teamwork and positive spirit impressed me big time; who would wanna sacrifice their holiday for mundane work like these? Not me at least...hee.
One of the few magnificent Gohonzon (altar) you can find in S'pore.
Anyway, after the session, we headed to hubby's buddy's place (Boon Lay), followed by my new boss's place (Jurong East) and finally to another buddy's place for yummy home-cooked nasi lemak feast and card games. Lady Luck was on my side, I won a whopping 100 bucks from in-between, damn lucky I tell you! But they all wanna go home when I started to win, chey...sore losers..sianz *hiaks*
On the 3rd day, we managed to catch some beauty sleep, hopped over to in-law's place for sedap shanghainese Nian Gao lunch, then zoomed off to my ex-boss place at Bedok. It was cool catching up with some ex-colleagues and suppliers and inspecting my ex-boss newly renovated house. An hour later, off we went again to hubby's ex-colleague's place at Bishan, played some Blackjack before they all proceeded to my place for steamboat cum gambling session. It was GREAT, cos' they managed to walloped all the food and ingredients that my mummy has piled up in my fridge since the eve of CNY..hahaha!
The gambling gang...they have their own set of poker ready in their cars...
4th day was back to work..yawn!...I haven't had enough of the holidays yet and it is back to work, sianz. The lion dancers came to the office and prance around the individual rooms for angbaos. So easy, I could have asked my niece to part-time as one and earn extra moolah for her school fees..I think she can do a better job than them.
Check out the boring satu face of those guys behind...haha!
