Preparation for chinese new yr is a yearly hectic event....rushing at the last min to buy new clothes and etc....
this yr was as rush as usual....i met up with samz and her friend...Jia hui for last min shopping and i finally got my eyebrows done....yesh, i went to thread my eyebrows at a shop in Orchard.i muz say this experience was really an eye-opener...u all can call it vain-pot but i think it`s nothing wrong for guys in general to look more appealing....it`s quite painful....or rather..VERY PAIN...but it was all worth-while...i intend to do it about once every month....WEI LING (cousin)....u wanna go with me ??i found a branch in yishun....intend to try the hot wax face and thread the whole face next time...hee hee....!!Samz, Jia hui and myself were supposed to do some serious shopping on fri but we spent too much time having dinner over at DING TAI FUNG that it was too late to get anything done...
we ordered quite a lot of food and somehow i ended up treating the 2 gals....i wan a treat back from u 2 someday....very soon, when u all get ur red packets....!!After dinner, we slacked for a while and Samz and myself went to catch a movie at cineleisure."little children" by kate winslet...it`s a M18 show...not really empowering...it was an average movie....kinda disappointed despite the hype bout her acting...the story line was expected...plots were shallow...haiz....WTH !!
After movie, it was way past midnight...thanks to the almost 3hr long movie...din seemed like it was 3hrs but it was long....know wat i mean ??i was supposed to meet my camp mates at DblO but samantha wasn`t dress to kill so she dun wanna follow me there...SAMZ, u`re mean !!anyway, we decided to slack at the starbucks opposite cineleisure....surprising, we had a "thing" for latte....ha ha...great minds think alike....
Vanilla Latte....wonderful....!! but when it comes to such a place, my fav. drink is afterall still EArl grey tea with Ice-cream....damn shiok...the last time i drank was the time we were all at Habour front celebrating Ci wen b`day and that cockster kevin ordered some expensive hot coffee...ha ha....remember ??We slacked till bout 3am and decided to go home coz we had to continue shopping the next day...and we actually did manage to wake up and did some last min shopping again...someone terrible woke me up from my sleep....ha ha...me, samz and jia hui continued shopping till bout 430pm....and we went our seperate ways home for reunion dinner...of coz i gave samz a lift home...18 Feb 2007..............
Reunion dinner was held over at my place for the 1st time....every yr, dinner will be held at some restaurant or hotel....bout 15 of us in total....but since my auntie who lives opposite broke her knee cap or etc....the location was shifted to my place for convenience sake....!!
actually, i found it better to eat at home than some fancy restaurant...the ambience is so much more lively...and i can juz wear shorts and not so formal....maybe coz i dun need to go out...ha hathe preparation is so much more troublesome than in restaurant but it felt like there was more warmth....Initially, i almost freaked out coz one of the steamboat machine wasn`t working properly and i had to open the socket and unscrew it to check...ha ah...so ma fan...but i`m glad everything went well after that....!!this yr, it`s only the beginning and i`ve "lau yu sheng" 4 times....oh my gosh...i`m gonna get rich man....i keep wishing that i get rich soon...ah ah....$$$$$$$
Everyone grows up so fast.....although we hardly meet, the bond btw the cousins are still there...that is wat relatives aka extended family is all about....
this is a pix of my fav. cousin and me....our age group is the closest apart....he`s 2 yrs older and me and we cliqued.
the other one which is 2 yrs his senior and 4 yrs my senior got married last yr....and now the presure is on me to settle down soon....
why ??
coz this cousin of mine has been with his g.f for 8yrs and getting engage in 2 yrs time so now everyone is asking me when is my turn....ha ha....
i`m not in a hurry....i`m getting older and it also means i`m getting wiser...i dun wanna make a wrong choice so i rather slowly choose....
i`ll take more pix and show u all on the 1st day of new yr....!!!
