29January2006, 1st day of Chinese New Year Happy Chinese New Year!!! It is this time of the year again, where every chinese in Singapore celebrates year after year...Rather fast this year round, is'nt it? I used to remembered that CNY falls on February...Now, I'm older by a year as well...Time really flies...
I woke up exceptionally early on this day, the reason? *grins...To doll myself up for this joyous occasion...I did my hair all by myself using the Loreal hair-spray and some curlers, then let it set while I spent a long hour plus on make-up...I used faux eye-lashes this time round for a dolly-look and it really tested my patient cuz I had to restick them time and again, but in the end I finally succeeded and managed to finish on time before Laogong comes to my house to greet my father and pick me up...
I waited for Laogong to come as soon as I was done with my make-up but Laogong was late and had only reached my house at around 10plus in the morning...As soon as Laogong reached, he took out 2mandarine oranges and greeted my dad a happy chinese new year...Quite formal, but I also thought Laogong had looked very cute while greeting dad...*Grins...Dad kept urging Laogong to eat the tibits available and chatted with Laogong continuously, after Laogong had eaten a little of everything, we went out and walked to Laogong's house...
I had forgotten to bring oranges with me, but luckily Laogong had some...So I used two of it to greet Laogong's father happy chinese new year, I also shook hands with Laogong's mum and said the same to her...Laogong and I waited for his family to get ready then, went to Laogong's grandma's house in his father's car...We all spent a short while at Laogong's grandma's house, greeted his grandma the same words and also his relatives the same then quickly went off...Laogong's father fetched us to his grandfather house near Tiong Bahru and went off as Laogong's father had to go fetch a customer...After reaching, Laogong, me, Annie (Laogong's younger sister), mum and Steven (Laogong's cousin) went to eat at Long John's in Tiong Bahru shopping center then after and returned to the house...So, Laogong, me, his sister and mum spent the day at his grandfather's house after doing the same old thing and getting ANG PAOS!! wahahah...
Together, Laogong and I heard a shocking news from Steven...While Steven's younger sister was still sleeping, he told us that ShaoWen (Steven's younger sister) was already 2months pregnant...My immediate reaction was "OMG", I could'nt believe what I had heard from him...ShaoWen was of the same age as I am!! She has a baby in her stomach!! Laogong, too was shocked...So was Laogong's mum...Previously, Steven's elder sister had just given birth to a baby boy before marriage and the father of this cute baby is also living under the same roof together with them all now...Then, now comes this shocking news...Steven had told us that ShaoWen was repeatedly reminded by the elders not to be as foolish as their elder sister but the incident had still happened unknowingly...Steven said that the recent happenings in his family has the ability to compete with the dramas showing on tv...Still, it's shocking to me...However, I would still wish ShaoWen and her husband-to-be happiness...
Laogong then got tired as he had'nt managed to get some rest after his work, so he went to catch some sleep in his cousin's room while I watched Memoirs of A Geisha on Steven's computer...The movie was really long, a good 3hours!! I felt sleepy but still got to finish watching as it was pretty good movie to boot...Steven came into the room a few times to chat with me, hoping that I would'nt get bored...Then, ShaoWen woke up and came to say hi to me, I turn around and looked at her, she said I looked so differrent with my make-up that she almost could'nt regconise me...*Grins...ShaoWen chatted with me for a short while then went away to do her things and all then alas went out to meet her boyfriend, leaving me to continue with Geisha...Steven told me that it was rather good movie but on the contary that if you look at this movie from another point, would turn out to be not as good as well...Urm, anyway...I still liked this movie...Loved the eyes of Zhang Ziyi, especially...=))
After this movie, I went inside the room and disturbed Laogong, trying to get him outta the bed by he refused to bug and begged me for another half-an-hour more to sleep...Seeing that he was really tired, I got out of the room and went to watch Love Concierge on the same computer together with Annie (Laogong's younger sister)...Half-an-hour passed quickly and I woke Laogong up, then we used Steven's computer to check out the available timings for the movie, "I not Stupid too"...After much discussion with Laogong, we decided to go to Tiong Bahru to catch this show...Laogong and I walked to Tiong Bahru from his grandfather's house and upon reaching golden village, there was a massive crowd...We both queued up till it was our turn and finally purchased four tickets for ourselves, Steven and Annie...
We went back to grandfather's house and had our dinner there, Laogong's uncles and aunties were humourous people...They even asked Laogong to get some fish for me to eat, telling Laogong not to get those with bones in it for me...It was rather funny seeing them talk to Laogong, and Laogong also joked with them...After our dinner, Laogong and I went down to the 5th floor to one of his uncle's house to collect some phone cards and also chatted abit then went back to the his grandfather's house...By the time, ShaoWen came back home together with her boyfriend and pestered Steven wanting to watch the movie together with us as well...They quickly booked the tickets online then we off together to catch the movie...
It was less crowded when we've reached, still gotta queue a short while when getting our food and drinks...Then in we went, the whole movie lasted 2hours plus...It was a better one compared to the first "I not Stupid", cuz this one really moved Laogong and me...What it had showed, reflected the real things in life now, very well and true...A good local brew!! I give it all thumbs up, kudos for such a wonderful show!!
