My CNY 2010 story =)

i've been so excited for chinese new year this year and i dunno why. time flies and now, cny is going to end soon. so sad. love all the gathering with relatives. just love the cny atmosphere. had reunion dinner at my house. as usual, we had steamboat.

DAY 1

Father's side
woke up around 10. dressed up and left to sui chik's house at Subang. As usual, my family was the first to arrive. The host also havent woke up. My grandmother just woke up to cook vegetarian dish *Zhai Choi*. so my family ended up eating cny biscuit *super delicious sugar-coated biscuit* and watching tv. it was so yummy! i couldnt stop eating. i think i ate almost half the container. 0.0 was hungry. hehe
after about 1 hour, everyone arrived. started the gathering by eating the vegetarian dish. i ate 2 bowls i think! it was delicious, better than last year's. after that, Parents were chit chatting so i joined my cousins to admire a korean girl band. -,- giving them girl's point of view on which girl singer is the prettiest. aha! then watch one episode of Liar's game. i also managed to dragged all my cousins to take pictures togetehr since all of us were so RED on that day. then the parents wanted some pictuires too so everyone took pic togetehr. =)

Mother's side
Went home to pack clothes and pick up the maid and left for Seremban. =) it's been a long time since i last went back there. used to go back every weekend when my grandmother was still around. Everytime i go back to the Seremban house, i will eat loads. my Aunt is just a super awesome cook. the pig intestine pepper soup, chicken feet, chicken wing is just super duper delicious. thinking about it now makes me feel like eating it. =( had steamboat again for dinner but this time with tom yam soup.

after dinner, we had this lucky draw organized by my 4th aunt. this year, i m not as lucky as previous years as i only got rm 38. usually it's more than rm100. but it's alright, the lucky draw is still as fun as usual with all the excitement on guessing who gets the most money by feeling the thickness of teh Ang Pao. =)

The highlight of the night was the video game WII. it's SO FUN! the running, swimming.. all Wii sports are super tiring. my cousins and i played from 10pm to 5am. @.@ my right arm ache for the next 3 days. dman weak! hehe then we tried playing Resident evil on Wii. it was really scary.. so when anything happens, my girl cousin and i would scream real loud until it frightens my guy cousin who was the one playing the game.. haha. he gave up playing it cos we screamed too much. XD Zombies are so scary.

DAY 2
today, i went out with Kai yuan and Chee yung to watch Percy Jackson and the lightning thief. we had lunch at Papa John's pizza restaurant. it was not bad but i prefer Pizza Hut. Not pyramid pizza hut. the service really sucks there.. we ordered too much and had too lil time to eat, in the end we packed the pizza and rushed off to watch the movie. OMG Logan Lerman(percy) is so cute! he has the baby face. the girl main character was ratehr cute too(kai yuan likes)=) the movie was ok only.. i would rate 6.5/10. i learnt quite a few terms such as satyr from the movie. it's entertaining. i liked the satyr, he is so funny =) and he walks a bit like kai yuan. heheee =P I tumpang kai yuan's car to and fro and it's the first time i sat in a car with the top mirror ish thing *dunno what it's called* open. it's quite cool. i've sat in cars which has that function but never opened it before. luckily, it wasnt hot that day. so it was fun sticking our hands out to feel the air rushing past. =)




HE IS SO CUTE!


look at the eyes..!! <3

DAY 4
Had another gathering with my father's side relative. steam boat again. it was the 4th time in 5 days. i was too bored with steamboat that i barely touched it. ate more yee sang than previous years and fried chicken instead. =) i played around with my conusin's new cam which cost rm 1800. it's super cool! the pictures turned out nice and clear. i want that cam... no i wnat a DSLR. but it's so big..


looks good, yvonne?


Lou Yee Sang!

DAY 6
Went over to Adranne's CNY Open house. she has it every year and her whole family invites lots of people. it was a super big party! used GPS to go there and my dear friend jane read the gps wrongly and i ended up using some really bumpy road to reach her house. Anyway, KAYU was there as a caterer. yummy roti tissue! =) i watch my first Lion dance this cny there. i love watching lion dance on poles.the way the performers make the difficult coordination and footwork look so kacang putih just amazes me. they had fire crackers and fireworks too. the fireworks were sooooo pretty! i was pratically right below the fireworks. i really like watching fireworks. it makes ppl happy and have the mood to celebrate.

Bailey's is awesome! hehe had one cup although i was driving. we gambled until 11.30pm. no, corrected version, i did not gamble, i kinda take the card and played for munwai. pity him.. no chance to play. but he won money at least! like rm 12. ehhe because of my lucky hands. =) got black jack and 5 cards for about 4 times. 21 about 2-3 times =)=) hehe the party was really fun.. i enjoyed myself la.

oh something really funny happened. ad's mother was giving out angpaos the second time, she already gave the first round and i think she thinks that she already gave me but havent actually. so i said that i haven't received angpao yet and laugh like jokingly *where got ppl to thick skin ask for ang pao with a serious face* and she kinda hit my head and said you ar.. thinking that i m asking for another ang pao. so she did not give me in the end and walk away to give otehr people. quite funny right. but it's ok la. the invitation to the party was good enough =)

DAY 7
realtives came over and they gambled from 9pm to 7.30am non stop. left for home at 8 am. super hard core gamblers right! first time i stayed up to see the sun rise. i was rewarded rm 50 for staying up the whole night by the winner of Texas Poker! happy ehhe!

SO yvonne, missing the cny celebration here? next year you can come back to celebrate edi =) miss you!

skating outing with college friends

gosh! today, i slept at 12 am till 12 pm, went out for lunch, came home and slept at 3 pm to 7 pm... i practically slept 16 hours out of the 19 hours.. @.@ i m such a big fat pig! eat and slepe only. but i lost weight.. which is surprising.. but i think i gained them back today by eating 10 super delicious pineapple tarts. =(

Event: skating trip with college friends =)

I LOVE SKATINGGG!!!! n i managed to share the love with yen li and kai yuan. now they think skating is quite fun too. hehe. i can't skate that well but i can skate so i taught mostly kai yuan and a bit yen li on how to skate.i was really happy that Yenli could join us.

zhi yuen: OMG can't believe YenLi is coming for skatin
Elaine & Kai Yuan: No la, she joining us for lunch only.
Zhi Yuen: NO! she smsed me this morn!
Elaine: OMG really =D i call her now =) ahahha

so, it was true that she was joining us. Yenli, Kai yuan, Zhi yuen, Terry, Teng jong, Xian Tze, Uran, Adli, and me went skating together. Chee yung and sherrina joined us for lunch later on.

There were some Tv crew there filming people skating and interviewing. one of my friend terry was chosen to be interview. quite cool, he will be on nation TV =) hehe
the program was about telling poeple how fun skating is and they should do this more often rather than lepak-ing somewhere else. which i totally agree! Love skating! it's so fun! =) expecially when you skate relatively fast! the wind blowing past your face is so nice!

it's 2.23 am now and there's like fireworks outside! =) really gives me the cny mood now hehee..

ok back to the topic. Yen li learnt to skate much faster than Kai yuan but they were both fast learners. Yen li fell 4-5 times whereas Kai Yuan fell 11 times(our birthdate num) haha! good number! =) in the end, he became very pro at getting back up himself haha

anyway at about 2.45, we left the skating rink and headed for Full House. super nice atmosphere to have gathering with friends.. food was overall ok. carbonara was not good (do not order that) the set lunch was worth it. RM 16.90 for a huge jar of ice lemon tea, a bowl of mushroom soup(super yummy), one main course( a choice of carbonara, fish or lamb chop) and a dessert. =) super worth it! <3

After eating, we did not realised it was already 5.00 pm. kai yuan and yen li needed to shop for cny clothes while i had some errand to do for my mom. so we separated for awhile. i met up with yen li and headed to D&D shop. she managed to buy a turquoise coloured dress and a white top for cny =) Both for Rm 86. price quite reasonable and she looks nice in them. we tehn joined kai yuan to shop for his. he chose one blue collared t-shirt for himself but we did not really like it cos it look like it was for older men. =D ehhe. so we shopped and finally, he landed with one peach shirt from Pepsi cola *what kind of brand is that* ahha! and one nice blue and red collared t-shirt from Santa Barbara. i keep insisting must buy red for cny ehhee =) he looks good in both, suits him. Of course la, who choose one XD haha. gosh i should stop saying that.

that dya, the three of us went back the latest, left about 7.40pm. and it was so jam! i almost had an accident as the front car braked suddenly and stopped moving. so scary.. my heart skipped a beat seriously. ahha anyway, overall i had so much fun with them today =) we became really close although we only knew each other for a year. guess this is the power of staying back in season parking to chat for 1-2 hours everyday. -,-



the cool entrance ticket - scan to enter


must take pic! yen li and kai yuan's first time skating =)


group picture <3


Yen li and me! =)


two "dead" friends.. too tired after 3 hours of skating


ignore the gramatical error but it's true for me =)


we decided to have lunch there


set 1: carbonara(not so nice) and mush soup(awesome)


ala carte: lamb chop(nice)


set 2: fish in cream sauce(ok) and mush soup( awesome) =)


the cute straws with the ice lemon teas(good)
