Happy Chinese New Year.. Basically the routine for cny is about the same as the many years before. New year eve went to ah ma's hse for reunion dinner and after which, we are all on our own. The uncles watching tv, aunties talking, 3 young cousins playing, the older cousins were busy smsing in ah ma's room while watching tv. Haha.. tat includes me of coz. This the 1st time where my whole family actually welcomed the cny together, coz usually they will go to slp before 12am, leaving me alone counting down by myself.

Was the driver for 初一 for half of the journey. Drove to Bouna Vista, Bukit Timah, Serangoon, Sengkang. But of coz wif my dad beside me telling me which way to go. And I'm so happy that I managed to do all the parking by myself. Yeah.. But ya, watever learnt at BBDC for parking was like all gone. Use my own method instead. Think we are one of the minorities where the few families actually meet up to go round to different houses to bai nian ba. Thus, my mum and the aunts were like discussing what if the older generation passed away, will we still continue this tradition? Will myself & my cousins follow? We shall see by then. Throwing of tissues & orange peel were not part of the day's programme le. Guess, the tradition was gone.

初一

初二went to pick up 四姨 and went to 大舅母's place 1st. Driver for the day again. Had McDonald's for lunch. That's the problem with public holidays, especially chinese new year, you will not be able to find coffee shops open. Met up with my other cousins, Eddie & Pei Ching to continue to my 二姨's house to bai nian. Everybody was like so shocked that I've finished my studies in poly. They were like asking, "So having exams now?" or "So having holidays now? When school reopen?" Then I will say I've completed my studies in poly. That's when you can see their eyes & mouth wide open. Dinner at 三姨's place. Haha. and of coz the 2 little "monsters" were there. So adorable.

The 2 "monsters"

SPAC2GO frens(Diana, Hui Ying, Frankie, Edison, Gerald) came to my place on 初三. Gambled & had pizza for lunch. I lost when I was the banker.. Hmph.. After lunch, edison went to play with my sis car racing. Am sure all of you had heard of the story, "The hare & the tortoise". Well, let's just say Edison was the Hare & my sis was the Tortoise. Went to Diana's house to bai nian & continued to gamble. Yeah.. this time round I started to earn back my lost & won about 4 bucks lor. Proceed off to River Hongbao. It was hot! and nothing much de. waste time go there.

Had our clique's gathering on 初四. Went to Huimei, Qunjie, Dear & Tobs' house. Dinner was supposed to be steamboat at Marina but end up KFC at Tobs' place. It was fun. Who knows it might be our last time to gather together with the 8 of us.

Sam & Me

The Princesses

The Guys

8 of Us

Yesterday, did mmit in the morning & went to Hougang to wait for Dear before heading to my place. It was my 1st time at Kovan's Heartland Mall. I was still wondering will I get lost at Kovan coz I was alone. But yep, lucky it was near the MRT station. Dear came to my place to bai nian & mum invited him for steamboat dinner. =) Mum was like keep asking dear if he still can eat & helped to finish the food. And yep, they did it, finished all the food which dad, sis & I couldnt fit them into our stomach. And thanx to my dad for throwing my face during dinner. Have been enjoying my CNY so far.

And so I'm finally done with all the spring cleaning and doing the decorations. But after clearing that, like so sianz, nothing much to do liao. Back to the "dun-feel-like-doing-anything" mood le. Though there are many things I want to do but you noe, juz the mood isnt there. If I were to start on one, sure will not last long. Today went to pray ah gong in the morning and had lunch at ah ma's place. And since I'm the most free person in the family, mum asked me to go buy bak kua. Off I went to Chinatown and carried 3kg of bak kuas with some other stuffs all the way back to my place. Haha.. And I walked back, didnt take any form of transportation. Was very surprised to see Kevin when reaching Simei. He was on his way to ITE Simei for some high tea. So back home here I am, deciding to blog coz feeling kinda sianz. Dunno why but I just dun feel the mood of chinese new year this year again. That day was talking to dear and we still thought cny is like at least a week later. but no, is this sunday, tml is 除夕. Very fast. Guess I'm too used to cny's tradition of visiting relatives. Is not that we are really going to gather and chit chat. Well, maybe it does for my parents' generation but definitely not ours. Coz we are always in our own world. The most, we just hi-bye, talked only those necessary stuffs. That's for 初一though. 初二should be mum's side and not sure have any gathering at 三姨's house not. If have, den wouldnt be that bad, coz at least I have things to chat with my other cousins. Though age gap wider as compared to my dad's side, maybe coz we grew up together? More close lor. Just like my own gor gor & jie jie.

Been busy packing my room since starting from friday and I haven finished packing it. Still left with my clothes and I'm done....with my room. I still have my toilet & shoes to clean & clear.. Haha.. I'm slow at cleaning coz I'll look thru all e stuffs I had while clearing so take some time u noe. Den still muz plan where to keep the stuffs. This is the 1st time I did spring cleaning to my room since I moved into this house. Coz moved in only in Oct 2004, so the new yr in 2005, nth much to clear. Den last 2006 new yr, too busy with projects & stuffs to do spring cleaning. This year free liao, clear my room & threw away as many things as I could. Only when I did my cleaning then I realised the amount of dust in my room. Flying everywhere. Cleaning wasnt the difficult part, the clearing of stuffs was much more difficult. I always like to keep things...even those 8 days & i-weekly that I always bought in the past, I still keep some & some cut out pictures. But I threw them all. Coz no space plus I dun think I'll want to re look all the pictures & organize them together. As I packed my stuffs, I found certain things such as below:

My necklaces

My heart-shaped necklaces
My bracelets

My earrings

My old pager

The pink hello kitty wrapping paper, wrapped a heart-shaped pillow with hello kitty picture, was given by sam, huimei, karen & germaine when we were in year 1 for my bdae present.

Bdae wishes from my DBA/1B/21 class
My pile of notes when clearing my bookshelves

My bags all over my bed & floor

Today is also Valentine's Day. So Happy Valentines Day to all. Met dear for lunch coz dinner sure crowded de. Caught a movie and had a simple dinner before we headed to Esplanade for a view and rest. Thanx dear for the flower and card. Love them both.

I love ya dear...

It's finally over! Life over at SP is over. Bye SP. Have unofficially graduated from SP. Ytd was our last paper. Well, I wasnt feeling anything. Don't have those yeah-last-paper-in-SP & yeah-graduate-from-SP kinda feeling. Coz graduate means leaving SP, leaving SPAC2GO, leaving my classmates & friends, basically, the life in SP. Not only those, but also to face the next journey of my life. How will it be like? What will I choose? And what will be the outcome? Will I get what I want? I used to always avoid this issue but I cant anymore. The future lies in my own hand.

Guess I shall not continue on coz dun wish to blog about it now.

Anyway, ytd after exams, had no plans before hand. Usually, will always plan way before exams. But this time round, didnt even think of it. So after ytd's paper, had my last lunch at foodcourt 3. Dino's Chicken Chop with Black Pepper Sauce. hehe.. Collected our BD final report and it cost us $16.85. Went to Marina Square with dear to see whether there's any movie to catch....but sadly nothing interesting, so went to Changing Appetite for a drink while deciding where/what else to go/do. Wanted to go bowling, cycling, ice skating, fly kite. But either we were not in the right suits or the weather is just not right. So wat we did? Went to his house to watch vcd lor. Left only after having dinner. And I had Long John Silvers for dinner. Unhealthy lunch & dinner for the day itself. *shakes head*

So this semester, only had 2 exams which were spread out rather well. 1st paper on 31st Jan & 2nd paper on 8th Feb. But still, had trouble being well prepared for my ytd's paper. 1stly, kinda slack. 2ndly, no interest in the module. So how have I been spending my time studying? Either go dear's house or Singapore Expo or library near dear's place. Couldnt study at home. Lack of concentration. Besides dear accompany me throughout the exam period. I had other things like Lays, Chipsmore, and the below 2 items.

Biscuit I used to buy when I was in pri sch

The saltish sweet

Had a bite once in awhile. How can I forget another thing that accompanied me for 2 whole weeks?!?! Weird &/ Scary Dreams. Always happened during exam period. Weird dreams or scary dreams will haunt me in my slp.

The 2 most outstanding dreams were:

1st dream-->Weird cum scary

I was at the bench outside MLT 10 with dear, qiuling, zhengmin & others, think discussing some project. Then Cindy came & we went off to somewhere which had swimming pool, track field. Then dear called and told me that my dad asked me whether I'm having dinner with my parents. The next moment, dad was speaking to me on dear's phone. After hanging up, I said I had to go & the next moment, Cindy was gone. And just then, I seems to have forgotten something & decided to run back to the bench outside MLT 10 to find it. But no matter how I run I cant seem to reach it. I will be either at somewhere which looks like my primary school or expo area. I was lost!! I panicked. So called Dear but he didnt pick up my call. Panick further. Then I decided to ask someone, "where is SP?" This man just turned and without a word walked away. I followed and he led me to a lift. When the lift opened, it was at Changi Airport. And my dream ended there. Weird right? That was scary lor. Coz the feeling of being lost is seriously no good. Felt so helpless coz I couldnt find a single person I noe.

2nd dream--> Weird cum funny

I was in someone's flat. I was walking around when I realise a toy car moving by itself. I bent further to see what was inside, I saw a hamster driving the toy car!!! Hamster drive toy car!! I thought I'll leave it alone but somehow it came out of the car & started to scramble around. Just like a mice. I remember I was shouting & hopping away trying to avoid the hamster. Yep..and that's basically the dream.

Dreams are repressed desires that we wish we could have. Saw this quote from somewhere. Well, I certainly do not wish to get lost & feel helpless when I couldnt find anyone. And I certainly do not wish to see a hamster driving a toy car or running around while me trying to avoid it. I wouldnt want to scare myself.

Now that exams & school are over, I suddenly feel abit weird & restless. Guess I'm used to the packed schedule I always had. And going out everyday. Now, chinese new year coming, gotta do spring cleaning. Gotta stay at home & tidy up. sobz... I lazy lehz...haha..
