afternoon (12-2pm): lunch at Ritz Carlton.. you may ask again? AM NOT. read this clearly; NOT complaining. the service there rawks. and food. haiyah sure damn nice lar! I think there's no more reunion dinner at Shang anymore. hehehe. it's Ritz now. =) again, I'm not complaining. *whee*

afternoon (2-6pm): visiting grand uncle on grandma's side. having dinner there.. I think.

night (6-10pm.. hopefully longer): visiting aunt's place at Glenmarie. heek! hopefully can play fireworks. would be damn beautiful. and can snap pictures. =)

***

aaahh! the clock has gone all wrong. sleeping hours have been changed to 2am in the morning. waking up hours would be at 10am in the morning. HOW am I gonna get up on Monday morning? I really love this year's Chinese New Year. Frankly speaking, it's one of the loveliest chinese new year.

Reunion dinner did not turned out to be that bad, last year one was a little ackward because we were sitting with my aunt's husband's sister which is also my church member. And so happen they have 5 in the family and so do we - it completes the sitting for 1 table. But this year turns out to be really great. I managed to talk with them alot. It was great actually. (see I managed to socialize David! ^-^) and then play around with my little cousins. It was cool.

Other than that.. I guess age is another factor. Oldest cousin is turning 19+4= 23 (sorry math not working well) this year. Chinese always see it as your age+1 (don't know why tho'). okaye.. as I've mentioned that age is another factor, my second cousin (from my grandpa's side - mom's cousin's son) which happened to be my oldest cousin's age, has just graduated from Melbourne Uni and he brought home to M'sia his japanese mix australian girlfriend. what an excellent combo. hahaha. she's really pretty tho. And she went visiting and all with my aunts and grandaunt. And then, my grandma brought up the subject to my cousin:

(everything is spoken in cantonese.)

grandma: nicki-boy ah! (that's what she calls my oldest cousin). Ming ming (my second cousin with the jap/oz gf) brought a girl to let us see already.. what about you? when are you gonna bring one for me to see?

nic: aaah.. don't worry grandma. I'm finding. I'm finding for a pretty one then bring one back to let you see okay?

grandma: aiyah. why you take such a long time wun. kau-foo (my youngest and only uncle) getting married(chou lou poh) when he was 24(it's actually the chinese age).

nic, vin and I: *sweat* WHART? *gulp*

.....

another silly thing was between my mom and dad on the first day of CNY before going over to my grandma's place for chai-choi.

(also in cantonese)

dad: (was wearing a shorts and couldn't pull up or something) dear, I think I put on weight. I cannot wear this shorts anymore.

mom: (goes closer) AIYAH! this is my shorts lar. what are doing with it!!

*LOL*

went over to grandma's place and she started to tell my grandma about the incident. Granny laughed so loud. and then she started:

grandma: (laughing) eh same incident like your father.(meaning my grandfather) he wore my green elastic pants and walked around sommore. he walked outside and he didn't notice till I told him.

*all of us burst out laughing*

Sush's 19th Birthday...

Mom always said that friends do play an important role in life. But they come and they go. I always believe in the saying that 'friends walks in and out of your heart, but true friends leave footprints in your heart.'

Recently, someone had actually asked me to list down what I like most about my friends. My reply was - easy! I hang out with them most of the time, we know each other for like 7 years now.. how hard is it to list down what I like about them?

Easier said then done actually. I was having a hard time listing down what I like about them. Somehow, it was tough. Prolly because I'm not so good with words or rather, words could not describe them.
Why do I find it tough to list down things I like most about them? Everyone has their pro's and con's and obviously everyone would like the pro's rather than the con's. But somehow, as I thought about it, 6 years.. this year would be the 7th (it does not seem long) but 7 years had thought me alot of things. I remember the first few months adapting to college life was difficult. The classmates I had was different. Everything was different. Somehow, I can't find friends who are almost alike like the ones I used to hang out in high school. I wondered: How come? I mean how hard is it to find friends who are alike like the ones you used to have? all you have to do is just find people with the same personality, people who has the same wave length and wala! you found your new friend.

Not so easy. I came to realize that 7 years have much impact on my life. I've learn to accept their weaknesses, things which I don't like about them - everything about them; whether I like it or not, has come to be part of my life. Like maybe things you see about them seems weird to you, but in my eyes, I see it as something normal. =)

***

Enough of ramblings. I'm suming everything up into 1 line: I love them all! =)

On Friday (4th Feb) Sush was at my place, looking through the pictures I have in my computer and she came across the pictures of her last birthday bash at her house. We realized that time past so quickly. Again, yesterday was Sush's birthday. We were at first, planning to surprise her with a birthday bash, but last minute; plan change, due to Lim Su-Hsien who invited us all to Pizza Uno for dinner: her treat summore, and as I quote Jo, "she paksa us to jalan mati only" ... anyways we went on with dinner, and planned to surprise her at home with a birthday cake. We were actually late for dinner. Which was kinda a usual thing because we are girls and I had to look pretty for Sush. That's what she said in the sms when I was at Jo's place.*^-^* So I had to go home and change to look pretty. Dinner was fantastica. ^-^ the food was absolutely mouth-watering and the company, was needless to say, SO much FUN! and healthy. Liss said that we should have more of this kinda event. Everyone of the dahlings turned up for dinner, well almost everyone except for She Dee. After we were done with dinner, while waiting for desert to arrive, Sush went, "HEY! where are all the camaras?!" >.<" We are proven to be super camwhores.

Liss is always the first person whom I start of with taking pictures. So she gets to appear first in all the pictures! =)

Lemme present: Pizza Uno's yummy x1000 YUMMY.. did I say YUMMY? mud cake! *tahdah*

and the Tiramisu which is lack of cheese. >.<" But it still Sush's favourite!

Min Dee savouring the yummy ice cream! ^-^

group picture of the dahlings! =)
Left starting from the front: Mel, Manda, MinDee, Melissa, Me.
Right starting from the front: Jolene, Chien, Abby, Sush and Mun Teng.

And guess who we bumped into when we were about to leave for Sush's house?

Alfredo! - Vice President of the Interact Club of Seafield. Subang Jaya is indeed small!

on the way to Sush's place - while waiting for the traffic lights to turn green.

Bad attempt of camwhoring in the car: the people in the car on the right hand side was laughing at us! *grin* stupid things we do while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.

Very glad that the guys we acting very un-malaysian-ish. They reached early, about the same time as us lar.
After that was Liss, Abby and Amanda, and then Sush's parent came home just in time for the surprise too!!

Chien went back home to get something before dropping Sush home. Sush came home, and her mom answered the door. And when she walked in, everyone shouted really loudly, "SURPRISEEE!!!"

And her reaction? P-R-I-C-E-L-E-S-S!

hehe.. as you can see! she was shocked!^-^V she's SO gonna kill me for putting this up here.

I think she's crying now. ^-^V the plan worked!
that's May-Hsien sitting at the back, and me near the cake. I carried to cake out. =)

and P/s: Jo; "I like your beautiful hair!" - I must admit and take credit too.
I like it too! >.<" syiok sendiri.

That's Chien's cute birthday candles. It spells out 'Happy Birthday' - so cute right?

that's the banana chocolate cake from Secret Recipe the guys got for Sush.. *yummy*

our official cake-cutter - Chien. What will we do without this girl? =)

This thick face woman asked me where's her birthday present. I'm sure she was looking forward to my present! =) and yup! she was pleased with it. What can I say? We are excellent birthday gifts buyers. It's a personalized erm? blankie? or rather airplane blanket as David would call it; from Jolene, Meldee and I. Li-Hsien on the left. =)

Me, Mel and Abby. We're gonna miss you abb-ster! ^-^

Sush and the guys.
Anti clock wise, front: Nigel, Marcus, Kevin, E Guy, Kuang, Chang Song, Chung Guan and Sush.

After the cake session and everything, Chien suddenly came downstairs and she started passing around purple scrolls. We were wondering what was in there. And as we unscroll it, we realized that it was what she had asked each of us to list down things that we liked about each other and she compiled and edited them... All of us were almost in tears when we were reading it. (dare not tear due to mascaras.) Chien is one amazing friend.. ah! words cannot describe her! She's a wonderful girl and our precious jewel, aight gurls?

We <3 you, CHIEN! ^-^ *Loadsa hugs to Chien*

Meldee happily reading, Chung Guan all so ready for the camara, Jo laughing, and Liss blissfully reading. =)

thanks Chien. It's really something. Words cannot describe how lovely this is. <3

<3 Abby and Amanda looking so pweetty here! As always. =)

Abby, Mun Teng and Kay Hong. hehe! He looks so funny! =)

Girls seem to have this thing of taking pictures where ever they are, even in the kitchen.
Mel, Jo and Liss.

Jolene-yang-amat-hiau. Prolly can use it for some commercial dontcha think so?

and more camwhoring moments:-

We decided to leave at around 11.30. Didn't want to kacau her parents!
And guess what did the guys decided to do when we were heading out?

they walked and then stopped for a while; together in one straight line blocking the whole road. what idiots! hehe - they look like some backstreet boys video clip thing.

more camwhoring moments with Abby on the way back to Puchong. Jo fetched Abby home to Puchong together with Mun Teng and I in the car. SO brave. hehe!

Look at the tang-lung lights they hung to decorate the place where Abby stays. Puts people in a chinese-new-year-mood. hehe!

^-^V wonderful night, don't you think so? *muax* to you all!
