快乐与痛苦是连体婴，背对背，谁也少不了谁，是名副其实的‘痛快’i love this quote. no idea.. im weird i guess (: but who's normal anyway.. we all are living in a quirky world anyway ((:
it's exactly 2 weeks since i last posted.. seriously alot of things has happened.. let's see. the day before chinese new year, or rather, the week following chinese new year, all of us were pretty busy preparing.. we made pineapple tarts, biscuits which are supposed to be cheese sticks only we ran out of cheese and they ended up bwing sweet.. lol.. then of course, our uncle from HK came ((: on 22 jan to be exact. he brought alot alot of stuff with him too.. most importantly.. chocolates!! haha.. it was pretty late when he reached.. but still.. me and Ling sao were too tempted by the chocs.. we shared a couple xD
The day before Chinese New Year, my eldest cousin came back from Kalimantan where he was working.. i guess his family must be really happy.. it is after all supposed to be a family reunion dinner ((: his two children were so happy.. i guess everyone would.. especially if you are only 9 and 6 i think respectively and not seen dad for months.. ah well.. the dinner was superb!! 8 course meal plus dessert.. my second cousin-in-law Ling sao the one cooking.. first is the corn crab meat soup.. though we were using chicken meat xD which abit look like those hotels' serving ((: then duck and roasted meat (bought them :p) oh yea, qing jia from my aunt side also gave us prawns.. they were HUGE.. cost like $10++ each.. and there were 8.. woah. oh yea, steamed fish.. chun juan.. i think i gained like 5kg that night.. zzz.. lol
then, the day itself xD oh man.. 10 years since i last spend CNY here.. it was pretty fun ((: i wore a blue dress which i bought together with my cousin Jo. haha.. we promised to wear them to CNY.. the thing is by wearing blue she hoped that the hong bao will be full og blue notes xD couse if its pink.. two possibility. 10000 or 100 000. so just in case. lol.. blue: 50 000 xD
we went to 2 houses.. one is my mom's cousin's house and the other also a relative.. but yea she's already a grandma.. so the bei fen kinda high though d: oh yea, there we ate alot too.. zzz.. the spring rolls.. i think Wi ate like 4 rolls on his own? haha.. bro too.. i guess her cooking is really too good for us to stop eating xD
At night, my mom's cousin family came to visit us ((: then alot of those people from the office.. it was pretty noisy considering they came at around 9pm.. but really very fun ((: you can really feel the festive season though the best thing is, unlike Spore, here, the shops not all close. so i can still choose to walk and shop around ((: and Baskin Robins having this sale 50% off for ice cream quart? i think.. or bigger.. cant remember xD
27 jan in the morning, my aunt suddenly came up to my mom's room and told her there's something wrong with my uncle from HK, it seems like he suffered a mild stroke at night. it was raining pretty hard too that morning. everyone was pretty tense, my cousin supported him while his wife and mom tried pricking his fingers and toes with needle to let out some blood and decrease the pressure.. but it seems like the skin is too thick.. but luckily he can still feel the pain.. when the chauffeur came, both he and my cousin carried my uncle to the car and my mom went along to the hospital.
I cant help but feel alittle relieve that at least even if that happened, it happened when there's alot of us here to help, what if it was while he was at HK, living alone there?
so yea, he still have to stay at the hospital, sometimes my mom or uncle or cousin will go there and do shift to stay with him and help him move around. at least he's not alone ((: and oh yea, that 27 jan night, my uncle house were having this company dinner sort of. pretty big event of the year i guess.. it was fun, and the food was nice too. the funny thing was my uncle at the hospital, felt like eating perkedel (the potato thing ) so Ling sao, me, aunt and chauffeur went around looking, the first shop ran out, the shop next door closed. we went to a third one, also no more. then Ling sao said should have insisted and say a pregnant lady like her feels like eating it xD
so the fourth shop, the chauffeur who went to get them, used that excuse. they only had 3 left. and we were buying 3. he was like saying, please help, its for a pregnant woman. and he got it. omg.
oh yea, yesterday i went with Ling sao to Mang Du her working place. bought a new wallet.hohoho. and when we came back, after dinner, she taught me how to drive. it was SCARY.. she taught well.. i can now at least make the car move. albeit not so smoothly.. the changing of gear from 1 to 2 also not very smooth, at least i can brake. lol that's important before i crash those expensive looking cars xD oh at least i can totally brake smoothly.. haha.. but.. still haven't got the hang of the steering wheel. ah well.. maybe later?
oh went to visit uncle just now.. since i will be going away to Spore soon.. tomo. sobz. somehow, dont really feel happy going there. but sometimes also feel bored? sigh. ah well.. time to look for jobs? zzz
