CNYI'm back from the long break!!! Actually its not that long. Right.
So I went home on Friday night, the crowds at Kranji MRT was seriously crazy, its like people just push and push you on to get onto the bus and you are literally lifted off the ground. What a privilege. Well the checkpoint wasn't as crowded as I thought it would be, so the process was fast. Haha within seconds I was out of Singapore, another step closer to home. Its amazing how much it still thrills me everytime I pass the checkpoint to go home after having been doing it for 5 years. However, the queue for the bus was bloody long. So I decided to walk across the causeway, very reluctant though at first. Surprisingly I actually enjoyed it, found the peace in walking alone or whatever it is. With the heavy bag on my shoulder and the 2.4kg laptop in my arms somehow I felt happy to be walking and not squashed in the bus. Then I passed through the Malaysia checkpoint and waited for my dad outside Ah Kun the coffeeshop (not Ah Kun the kaya toast shop :( how I wished lo) Guess how long I waited? 1 hour and 10 minutes. Absolutely my record. From looking forward to tired and impatient to fatigue and angry and finally I was so famished I refused to talk already. Was so hungry ok? The last meal I ate before that was at 2 in the afternoon I think. Well they had to buy some stuff for praying the next day so being late was inevitable. Should've gone to City SquaRe and sit somewhere and wait right? But then my phone got no reception inside the mall, later they might not be able to find me lor. See its no good being nice all the time. ANyway meanwhile Isabel was telling me about some exciting news so I was kinda entertained, but still *rub tummy* a hungry person is an angry person. Whatever.
New Year's Eve. Spring cleaning lor, what else? Spring cleaning in my house is really spring cleaning, involving a lot of throwing and wiping and polishing. You won't believe how much dust there is behind those furnitures I thought I lived in a desert. Ok, I scrubbed that flight of stairs so hard that dad thinks that there's no need for repainting anymore. Muahahaha the scrubbing maid. Then we had reunion dinner with uncle and his family as usual. This year the food was nice, and the servings very big. We couldn't finish lo. And I was so full after 3 to 4 dishes I couldn't eat the prawns and stuff. Then we went to Tebrau City coz poor girl hasn't got her new year clothes yet. Haha ut most of the shops were closed so I ended up buying some stuff from Jusco and nothing else. So sad.
First Day of CNY. If my memory doesn't fail me I think we didn't go out today, at all. Haha. All of us just spend the time sleeping away, happily. And watch tv and sing karaoke, and I watched Love Actually on my laptop. I must say its quite nice although I still don't quite understand what the show is about. Right. And I received only 1 angpao, from my parents.
Second Day of CNY. Woke up kinda late. Had lunch then went out to m auntie's house. All my maternal relatives were there, erm, playing mahjong. I'm not fond of visiting them except for getting angpaos. So bad right. I felt so sad when I saw my grandma, she doesn't even know its CNY> One festive season that once meant so much to her. Well, I played with my little cousin brother, Ah B, then later took him out to Jusco coz I needed to buy toiletries and stuff to be brought back to Singapore. We ate ice-cream, and KFC (sin!)
Third Day of CNY aka my last day at home. We woke up really early coz we wanted to go out. We had steamboat for
lunch brunch breakfast at nine!!! SO fun la. But none of us had the appetite to eat much. I think my family is so crazy. Then I wasn't feeling well. You know the typical huizyi symptoms, nauseousness and stuff. I wonder when am I ever going to outgrow it!!! Yes my digestive system failed me again. Shrruuugggsss. So I had to stay at home alone and sleep through the afternoon while they went out. Sob Sob. Halfway through my beauty sleep someone actually came to visit I think. But me being so lethargic refused to open the door. I felt bad la, but you can't expect a sick person like me to put up a smile and entertain the guests like a clown right?? Nono I don't mean a clown. Well so I just left them alone. The bonus of staying at home was that I raided my sister's wardrobe. Another one would be that my kind sister offered to send me back to the hostel so I didn't have to carry all my stuff in my arms and walk across the causeway all over again. Less desirable this time round since I was, and still am not feeling well. Mum and dad said it might be because I am not used to the water in jb, and they suggested that next time I go home I should bring my own bottled waer home. That pathetic meh?
That sort of concluded my CNY this year. Surprisingly uneventful, and I am darn jealous of the fact that my family is now in KL visiting my paternal relatives that I seldom get to meet, and I certainly miss them, or more so their angpaos ;) Well I am even more jealous of Bel that stupid girl who gets 50 and 100 RM in her angpaos! Man I want rich AND GENEROUS relatives. Haha.Fine. Enough of whining.
I skipped Mass PE this morning coz I knew I might collapse on the track if I had done it, and no one would be able to lift my fat ass. Ha wrote the letter for me, so she is like officially my dad :0
And I might be skipping school tomorrow to catch up with my work, firstly. Secondly its so that I won't have to do swimming PE. I feel so bad so maybe I won't skip after all. See first lar.
Had the Pre-U seminar interview today. Man it sucked a big time. Like I had no idea of what to say at all about a cosmopolitan Singaporean, I read about it somewhere, I recognise the term but I have absolutely nothing to say about them. The interviewers were nice, they gave me a lot of prompting and all but hmm lets just say I am not good enough for it so I hope I won't get in. On the other hand I will be sad if I don't get in. Contradicting life.
Anyway I am planning what to do tomorrow, I really don't want to waste the time away if I decide to skip school.
Till then.
I just want you to turn you head but disappointment hit.
Love and be loved.
Sis and all, enjoy yourself!!!
