thursday.. and tomorrow is?
Friday...
Can't believe that the week has zoom past so quickly. Seems like yesterday it was Monday nite and we were all at the airport sending our friends off to Australia...
Haven't got time to blog about Abby's departure and also Kevin's. Will take my time on that, probly will wait for David's one too. Then I can blog all together-gather. hehe. That'd be so weird. Nah. I'll blog it down one by one - should use Chung Lern style. Dedicate each post to each of them. ^-^
for the mean time, here's some pictures to keep y'all company. ^-^ take in Ritz and my aunt's house during the weekends. It was my uncle's and cousin's birthday at the same time, so we decided to celebrate together.

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*
