Gong Xi Gong Xi!

chinese new year's been GREAT! my ang pow collection increased this year. *screams for joy!!* only had one yee sang this time though. nahhh not really a fan. just tossing it up and wishing for extra blessings etc.

every year sure to have. among cousins. ah the joy of having reunion dinner together. catch ups and updates. and realizing that you're a year older this year!! big shock! i still cant grasp the thought that i am going to be 21! time really flies.

found this over at my aunt's place during our visit there. reminiscence of time. I WAS SO CUTE! but the thing is, i dont even remember when was this. when was this picture taken.

did not do much activity besides visiting my relatives and them visiting mine. i slept more on the first day of new year. so bored. *yawns* i think its the age that is catching up. cny aint a big hu-ha for me already. its like rilek-brooooo.

went visiting with these people.

 

this is my first time seeing people so hardcore for gambling to earn their assets back. scary but funny to see them loose and win, loose and win. counting counting. but i had fun. tiring at the end of the day but it was worth it.

how's your cny?

Of Food and Nails

how's your first day of cny, everyone? mine was so-so. the feeling for cny is not really there as I get older though. i guess im not alone. its just like another ordinary holiday but with an extra feature, ang pows! hope you guys have a great and prosperous new year!

well, a few days back before cny, i've spent my night with my girls!

just the three of us. very quick plan. to go shop for make up stuff. so i just tagged along while they pick these and that. we then had mamak at a nearby restaurant. roti boms and all rotis la. and of course, lame jokes were never forgotten. they exist all the time!

well, we'll meet again to go for visiting! and it is time for me to doze off. blogger is making me crazyyy! fail to upload more pictures. grrrr!

good night and have a happy new year! :D

Real Superhero

heee. only he can persevere through my stubbornness and stupidity and irritating emotions. everything la. he can become my ironman already.

anyway. happy eve of the eve of the eve of chinese new year!

The Pre-New Year or the Year-End Trip

which makes me feel lazy to attend class as i am still in holiday mood. the year end mood precisely. ugh. but ok la. met crazy course mates again who will graduate soon though. but my turn will come too! in this year itself. :D

so after i went for holiday with whole family at port dickson, i just had a night at my own crib. just one night. at 6 plus in the morning, wake up like a zombie. then prepare for the trip.

as compared to all my sg trips with my sis, last year's was unique. i went with my siblings.

and we did not go for 100% shopping. we went to the peranakan museum! our culture. my knowledge about my culture has increased now. proud to be a peranakan, baby even though the culture has complicated pantangs and steps to follow and their beliefs in certain things.

but we never stop visiting the bugis junction. 10 times we go there, 10 times we must go to bugis junction for the flea market. but this year's christmas theme had something to do with lady gaga which was errrrr??????

in this trip itself, i was able to get a seat for myself at the back of the bus. great aircond suitable for the sweaty ramona.

i went to clarke quay too! had some supper at the rennthai after my fall. yeah it is a souvenir from singapore street. i fell on my back. and now im taking care of my souvenir that i've brought home to malaysia. but well, i was happy. clarke quay was pretty happening.

these traders were my buddies. i had fun with them and other statues too. took pictures with almost all of them.

we went to the fullerton hotel too, which was previously a post office. it looks VERY spacious and luxurious! i guess to even stay one night here, people like me need to apply loan from the bank first.

we came to visit the merlion too. my second time already. plenty of tourists. x.x

orchard road! a must go during festive season for its decorations. supposed to go during the night but because of my unexpected fall, we visited here in the morning of the next day. there were elephants of different patterns!!

the best but worst of all, we visited H&M! why i said the best its because of the store itself! HUGE. SALES. but the worst of all is because of the time we had left in order to be in time for the bus back home to malacca. ugh. but i didnt fret a lot. we had time to shop for a bit.

ahhh bliss. but did not have the luxury of time. :(
