Happy Chinese New Year!!!! Gong Xi Fa Cai!!! =))I'm back again!!! Gonna tell all of you peeps out there about where I went and what I did during the 1st and 2nd day of CNY...*Bleahs
CNY 1st day :
Woke up at 8am in the morning, prepared myself for a face wash then a hot bath...Had my hair nicely curled and followed by some dolling up, then waited for Laogong to come fetch me...Laogong reached around 9.30am, was actually coming to my house to greet my father a happy Chinese new year but too bad, my father was still sleeping...We went out and then walked back to Laogong's house...
It was my turn to greet Laogong's parents a happy Chinese new year, then Laogong's dad handed me a "ang pao" and told me to wish my father good health...=)) The day before, I was lamenting about the disappearing CNY mood but on the 1st day itself, suddenly the atmosphere was a very joyous one!! Laogong was sweating all over in his Levis long-sleeved shirt sooo, he got changed into a Billabong short-sleeved tee...His mummy and sister were doing some last minute touching-ups then Laogong's dad told us all, it was time to get moving...
We all got into the car and the first stop was, to Laogong's grandma's house...Laogong's family was the first one to reach, then the tradition greeting took place after that, we went into one the rooms where I did my touch-ups and chatted with Laogong's sister...All of us, stayed on for around half-an-hour then went off again, down to Jurong Point because Laogong's dad needed to exchange his credit card points for movie tickets to the show: "Just Follow Law"...Shortly after, we got back into the car again and went down to Grandpa's house!!
As usual, we're the first to be there and greet Laogong's grandpa...Barely stayed on for an hour, Laogong's dad decided it was time for us to get moving...Laogong's dad drove us all down to Bugis, and we all had "ChongQing" steamboat for our lunch cum early dinner...It was kinda fun, having two different soup bases in a steamboat and it really felt like, we're having a reunion dinner...We spent around 1 hour plus eating and eating, and I was sooo full!!!! The downside of this "ChongQing" steamboat was that, the varieties of ingredients are sooo limited!! No two-thumbs up, soup base not very delicious too...We all reckoned that, having steamboat at Marina South was a much preferred choice...In the end, we had a full but not sooo mouth-satisfying meal, however the warmth feeling compensated for the loss...=))
We all went back to Jurong Point, Laogong and I felt asleep during the journey cuz we're too tired...It was just the time to go in for our movies, after going for toilet breaks...This is the second time that I've watched movies together with Laogong and his family, I simply loved the family togetherness...*Giggles...
Each and everyone in the cinema, laughed to tears (I bet) while enjoying the show (Just Follow Law)...The quotes mentioned inside the movie, are really one of a kind...It sure, tickled a hell lotsa funny bones which includes us as well...A definite-MUST-MUST-DIE-DIE also hafta WATCH movie!!! *lols...Kudos!! to Jack Neo for picking light-heartedly on the downside of the rules and regulations that the government has for citizens to abide to...A really careful fellow, I should say...Cuz Jack Neo's the only one till present to always shoot such controversial movies, each and every one of his productions never fails to touch the hearts of its audiences...Really, KUDOS!! WATCH IT!!! *lols...A guaranteed no-regret movie!!
Alright!! Enuff bout' movies already...Back to my 1st day of CNY...Sooo, after the 2 hours long movie, Laogong's dad was too tired to go anywhere else and decided to head home...Laogong and I rested for a short while then went back to my house, sooo Laogong could greet my father...We stayed at my house for around half-an-hour then headed back to Jurong Point, to play a game of pool...
Laogong and I played against each other for more than an hour, Ah ger too dropped by to play a game with Jieyi...I was kinda upset cuz I kept losing to Laogong...Laogong knew it sooo he deliberately lost to me a few rounds, after that we finally ended our games and went for singing sessions at Jurong East's Kbox...Both of us strived to the very end, singing to our hearts contents then finally, left the place cuz Laogong really was exhausted and guess how much it costed us to sing on 1st day of CNY? Total bill was: $70++ for two persons!! Nonetheless, we enjoyed ourselves very much!! =))
