Happy CNY to all! Hope the Ang Pow collection has been good!
My new year was quite a good on despite being too short.
Sunday was the usual Reunion Dinner @ Upper Serangoon. Food was great as usual, however this year it seems like there are slightly fewer dishes? Also, there weren’t any soft drinks i realize. Signs of an economy downturn? heh
Mon was the hard core, full on BAI NIAN, 1st to aunts house @ AMK, then to Great grand aunt’s place @ Toa Payoh, and then to my final (and favourite) location @ Hougang, where everyone from my mum’s side of the family would congregate, have good food and good fun. The bulk of my Ang Pow collection comes from here too!!!
It’s weird to visit these relatives once in awhile, and realize that everyone’s all grown up, uncle / aunties have now grown old… We seem to live our own daily lives on a day to day basis, and at times we forget how Fast time passes by because ‘re always so caught up with stuff… Its only when we take a moment to realize how other ppl have changed, only then will we come to notice that we’ve change too… Tho i stare at the mirror for at least a good 30mins a day, I still fail to recognize that i’ve changed more than I’ve thought myself to have… Unfortunately, i’m not exactly pleased with what I see…

My cousins, and aunt on the right, my side of the family on the left, Dad, Mum, Me & Des.

My Grand Aunt (Paternal Grand Ma’s Sis) we call her “Yi Por” -> Cantonese for 2nd grandma.. She’s 90 this year! and she cooks her own meals, goes to the market, and teases my dad, err… last year she thought my bro was my bf!?!?!??! oh wells! hahaha.. lil bro’s grown quite abit
Happy Year of the OX! (my year… sighz)… Wanna lose weight.. but dont i always say that!?!?
omg, i didn’t know your blog was still alive. ha. i really thought it was one of those things which was left drifting in cyberspace.
it was really good to meet up with you back in sg though it was short..
it’s good to see that you’re doing pretty well for yourself and i was quite shocked to see you being in the industry you are in now. hahaha. but still i am happy to see you happy.
take care aight and have a good one.
