Reunion of the Unreunioned

[ personal Ramblings ]






Wad a weeeeeeeeek! HA! I guess everyone has been waiting for this!! The arrival of another New Year that we Singaporeans celebrate!!






Atlas! Happy Chinese New Year!!!







hohoho.. 4 Days of break :D (2 day weekend, 2 day holiday) yeaaa!!








Earlier in the week, i've met up with turtle to bring her around Chinatown. That gurl got lost somewhere again and i have to track her down (via my handy mobile phone). -__-


I still remembered we went last year to Xenbar during our Chinatown tour-around. Well frankly speaking, there was more to see last year as compared to this year. Nevertheless, it's the fellowship that counts. So i'm pretty happy myself when people come over to my place to tour around and enjoy the new year spirit wif me! :)



as we walk.. a brilliant idea struck me!!





"let's have a dog-hunting expedition! We shall find as much dog-related stuffs as possible in this crowd!", I said with a grin :D






she agreed.







and so began our adventure ...

Wad a night!! ha haven touch on the main reunion dinner topic yet. but got to zzz :) continue nxt time ! buahahahaha

















ok i'm back. man.. thou shall continue. :)








well one thing i pretty anticipated this CNY is our Reunion dinner.


you know they say a family that eats together stays together. i feel that it's really true. It's so hard to have dinner nowadays with our families. Our life is so occupied with our personal responsibilities, work commitments or studies , and other misplaced priorities. We've just forgotten how much a simple dinner with our family counts to family happines. Well frankly speaking, i've never paid much attention about dinners. I mean, most of us would plainly think that having a meal is just a simple process of filling our stomachs, getting the energy we need in our blood stream. But somehow over the years, i kinda carry a deep envy of families that get to enjoy the priviledge of having a family dinner together. And i dun mean dinner where parents nag or scold their kids .... or new-age kids that are glued to their GBA, PDA, or PSP when having their family dinner. It's the simple dinner where there are no restrictions. No criticism. No distraction. Just plain heart-heart talk with each other over a simple meal. Wouldn't that be nice?



This year's reunion dinner was as per usual. Steamboat at my house. Every relative i knew came. Somehow i feel awkward around my uncles and aunties. They've only been asking about my studies, how confident i am in getting my results. Maybe the adult world is just a sort of pragmatic-based world. i dunno. sometimes i feel quite annoyed when i'm around with them. so i'll always try to take a step to talk abt something else .. sigh.



oh well enuff of those blues. :) i pretty enjoy their visit to my cosy little house. :) many pics i've taken!

well i went down to join in the fun.guess wad ? there are lotsa party confetti all over the floor. and i mean LOTS of it. it's pretty nice sight. Especially when u catch kids playing around with those shiny coloured paper .. very much in their own world. Everyone is feeling jolly. i was glad i came down :)



Sis Rabbit den called me .. sayin her grp of funky frens (usher leaders) are walkin down to Chinatown.. so they might be able to meet me. I can't believe they wanna walk Esplanade to here! .... but well in the end they didn't. I wonder how they are goin to squeeze thru the crowd and go home from there.. hmmm hmmm. i dun care .. lol :P









:) That's all. Happy CNY~
