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.
