CNY '06

HAPPY DOGGY YEAR to all! May all be blessed with good health and lots of wealth in this new year!

Friday 270106 - day of book out
Finally! I am able to come out to meet up with my family and friends! Although the duration I spent in camp was shorter compared to the last book out, I miss everyone as much! Hmm...I just hate that place how about that?

Joy and Gerald were at Pasir Ris interchange waiting for me. My sister was also there! Seeing them made my day! Lunched at MOS burger with Gerald at TM. After that, I made him accompany me to buy the army stuffs that I need to bring to camp when I book in on Tue. Went home to change and then went out to shop for CNY clothes with Wee and Gerald. We did not get anything. There was so little time left. Panic!

Had dinner with the choir people at Café Cartel. Got my first pay from the army. The $250 in my account was reduced to about $100 in just a few hours. *haha* They went to pool at Marine Parade after dinner while Cass, Gerald and Larry went with me to shop at Parkway Parade. It was a very bitchy (and I think bimbotic) with Larry around. Had fun laughing! Bought a pair of jeans from Gio.

Went to have supper with Gerald at big market. It was surprising to find some of the stalls in the market opened at around 12 a.m. Oh! We saw our MP giving away mandarin oranges outside Mac.

Saturday 280106 – CNY's eve
Went for a very last minute shopping at Orchard with Gerald. Got a polo tee from Levis. Met Wee for lunch and to shop for his shoes. He only turned up at around 3 p.m.! While waiting for him, we visited the Apple shop at Cineleisure. *drools* We watched the X-Men 3 trailer there! I am SO going to catch that movie!

Had reunion dinner at Ah ma’s place. It felt very family-ish. I think all that army stuff is making me appreciate my family more. Shu had fever and we did not do much. Hope she gets well soon to enjoy all the CNY goodies.

Went home and did some da4 shao3 chu2 for my room. Not very effective I would say. Hmm…

Sunday 290106 – CNY
I made official to everyone about the death of my zen neeon. Poor zen…

Went out visiting late this year. It seemed to me that our visiting hours begins later and later with each passing year. Visited my paternal grandmother first. She is sick. It was very heartbreaking to see her cough so badly. I can see that especially in my father. Her health seemed to be deteriorating. *sigh* I thought of taking photos with her but I forgot to bring my camera out. *sigh* Went to my maternal grandparents' place for lunch. Played blackjack and mahjong. The blackjack session was really hilarious. I conclude that Ah gong is really mischievous for his age. *haha*

Reached home at around 5.30 p.m. Watched a lot of TV and tried to salvage my computer. My computer was on the verge of dying when Joy reminded that I should system restore. It is alive now! *weee*

Will be watching Memoirs of a Geisha tmr! *weee* And I get to meet my friends tmr! *weee*

Army sucks!
