Cny came and went by
It wasn't draggy but certainly felt like a routine
Eve was spent going to gdma's house for reunion lunch
The same dishes that we eat throughout the year just feels kinda different on this day
Perhaps it's the fact that everybody is eating together at the same time that's all warm and fuzzy
This can never be told through the expression on my face but I felt this way lol
Night was reunion dinner back at my home
Now this is even more note worthy
Both my paternal grandparents stay under one roof with us
But sadly for the entire year our conversations barely passed the acquaintance-like 'hi-bye,where are you going....'
PROXIMITY DOESN'T EQUATE TO CLOSENESS
So reunion dinner is one of the rare chances that we do get to eat together
I know this distant relationship is going to be one of my regrets in my life
But things aren't just as simple as taking the initiative to be closer to my grandparents
Ohwell..

Anyway so first day of cny coincides with vday but I didn't feel love is in the air hahah
the red of angpows and bakkwa overpowered the red of hearts and roses
anyway I love my cousins though we span from age 2 to 21, we are pretty close in the sense that we can talk without feeling awkward
So untypical of cny conversations
Watched little big soldier with my family at shaw cck
Light hearted and comical
Quite an interesting movie to watch
Following that I watched valentines day with jm eve rach zh (I apologise for excluding mk and sg lol cos I don't immediately associate them with the class but rather bball guys)
Yeps vday is brainless chickflick which I found it to be quite hilarious and bimbotic
I particularly like the ice cream van guy and the phone sex girl who led a double life (both whom I can't remember their real name)
Both are awesome actor and actress
OH NOT TO FORGET WE SAW DAWN YEOH!
The cutesy pie actress yes!
She's quite cute in person but don't think she's that pretty!


After movies headed to al ameen with rach and eve for an impromptu supper
Initially I just wanted a ride to try out eve's driving but ended up going for supper
I must say she's quite a steady driver lol
Tried the much-hyped butter chicken which rach was addicted to
Hahah it's quite yummy but then it's bad to get addicted to it
like the name suggest BUTTER chicken don't exactly sound like the best candidate for healthy food does it?
I had cheese prata bom which was cheese prata with honey
Awesome I say! (:

2nd day of cny was stay home day with all the meet-once-a-year relatives gathering at our house
It was largely a formality (okay cny is generally a formality...)
But I answered routine questions for so many times I prepared a standard set of FAQ in my mind hahaha
Yeps but it's still quite nice to see all the LIPs gathering together

Oh did I say I have yet to open any of the angpow.

(:

I'm officially a driver (:
This has got to be one of the better moments this year! Or at least this is what I foresee so far
Nothing good's coming up next :X

Anyway tp was quite good
For those who have yet to pass you may wanna book a weekday 11am slot
The traffic was so good that there weren't any cars when I had to change lane =P
apart from the fact that I stalled during the circuit
Most of the things went pretty well
I got 8 points deduction for not checking the rear when reversing during changing of direction and parallel parking
Otherwise everything was perfect (:

I can't wait to get onto the road and contrary to beliefs that I'll be a reckless driver I think I'll be a pretty safe driver!

If anybody wanna share a rental car just to go around singapore please do tell me (:


But I'm very sad/irritated/feeling fked up
I have been looking forward to and planning for my sydney canby trip
And now due to army commitments I'd probably have to scrape ANYTHING and EVERYTHING from today all the way till I ORD
That's how packed my projected schedule is =(
Nobody can understand how I feel right now I guess?
Fuck.

Okay so I've been on a one month hiatus from blogging
Must say it's due to accumulative effect of laziness coupled with fluctuating extreme lifestyle that 'forced' me to take a long break
Now I can gladly do a quick one month summary/recap
Okay weekdays are boring and it feels like chores
But weekends are exciting if not extremely exciting
Why extreme?
Extreme not in terms of using a superlative to describe 'exciting' but the nature of excitement is extreme

1st jan
Countdown party at alvin's sis house was a nightmare due to the fighting fiasco
I was gladly/conveniently in my own state of alcohol-induced senseless-ness to comprehend what really happened
But what's over is over and that just marks a bad start to a new year but things can only get better (:

2nd jan
Pretty event-ful day
First thing in the morning was RV big walk which came after a night stayover at mk's
Though we pretty much do not know more than 80% of the population over the boonlay rv campus
But it was the past rv members that made the entire trip really worthwhile
To me it actually feels like a graduation day except that everybody's not in uniform and had grown up
Hope there would be similar large scale events like this which can serve like a gathering for all

Not to forget 2jan is xiaoxi's birthday
I must harp on the fact that she's the first to rise into the twenties, ahead of me gs cy and wl
Hahaha =P yes evil but true (:

I cameo-ed at S01's bbq at steph's house
Hahah cameo cos I only went for 1 hour to see everybody and I didn't eat any food :X
Okay so night was phuture with zh qh jm eve and phy
Quite an entertaining but (yet again) tiring night
Hahaha I was pretty much sober so it was quite funny to witness people (read: jiamin) do funny stuffs
When a person HOPS into a club u know something's not gonna go right somewhere haha and it really did
Not gonna write down details so as to give each of us some saving grace
It was a fun night though

3jan was probably spent recuperating though I can't remember anything -.-

8 - 10 jan (good boy weekend)
I don't rmb anything except that I went to modesto @elizabeth hotel to watch arsenal's match on sat
Probably a stay-home weekend
O=)

15 -17 jan (badboy weekend)
15jan
Went double o and had a great night with decent music! Even though I had just completed 20 km route march
16jan
Slept only 5 hrs and went out again at night met the favourite people and we ventured into the little been to corner called serangoon garden
Hahah okay maybe I'm not that suagu cos I've been there once most other didn't until that day =P
And from that all of us would probably realise how convenient a car can bring lol
If only........
Lol
So reached home around 2 plus I think and headed on to play ball early in the morning the next day!
Probably clocked about ten hours of sleep the entire weekend?
Self torture? Maybe.

22-24 jan (sporty boy weekend)
22 jan
night went to play bball with eileen's church friends at nus hahah quite enjoyable with all the wind and laughter
23 jan
Headed down to kallang 9 in the morning to play bball with my 2sir dudes
Played through the midday sun and boy was it hot!
Went to delta swimming complex to swim from 2 to 530
And rounded off the day with bball session number two at home u from 6 to 9
I ate only a piece of mr bean bread that lasted me the whole day
12 hours of sports ftw (: hahaha
But the result was a really bad sunburn
I'm still shedding skin today :X


29-31jan
29th
Headed to west coast park on for a little chillout session
Must say the atmosphere's really nice over there unlike what it was like years ago when we went there for litter picking hahaha
30th
Watched imaginarium of dr parnassus but didn't really catch the gist of the show
Hahah but I'm proud to have booked the show through internet on my phone cos it was painstakingly difficult to do so!

Following that was shawn hu's 21st which was quite interesting how much effort he had put in to organise the event
I finally got to meet most of my friends girlfriends hahaha it was a gf galore actually and I sat together with the singles discussing about other's gf! =P lol
Today was spent mostly trying to research on my hopefully-successful australia trip!
I intend to go sydney/canberra/melbourne
Probably 2 of the above cities at the start of april
Having friends over there certainly help hahaha probably beiru/kwanling/sarah can be my tour guide cum good host hahahh =P
Plan plan plan! Hope my leave will be approved though :X
