After all the activities in school, went to Parkway with john to waste time. Haha. Yes, waste time. Coz we were supposed to meet jiaxin and gang at Bedok only at 5. And no one's home for john so he can't go home, so accompanied him to Parkway. Haha. Walked and shopped around. Bought some stationery and stuff for work. Haha. Then settled down at Starbucks for coffee. Haha. The Mocha is damn nice. Haha. My new coffee love after Latte. Haha. Anyway went to look at laptops. Compared Macs with the rest and the result was as expected - mac's still the best, in terms of overall performance, design and price. Haha. I shall get the 15" one as soon as I can get my uni computer discount. Haha. Yupz, continued to shop till like 4, before going home to drop off my stuff. Yes my mum finally caught hold of me and chased me to the doc. Got quite some scolding from my family doc coz despite my terrible flu, I went for road run that morning. Haha. And how did he know? Coz his son is in TJC! LOL. Kenna caught red-handed. Haha. Anyway the flu didn't bother me too much so I took my medication before going out again to meet my TMS 'family". Hahahaha.
Met them at Bedok to buy stuff for our reunion dinner! Haha. Went to NTUC to get the groceries. Haha. The place's damn packed! Haha. All the last minute shoppers. Haha. Anyway managed to get most of the stuff we wanted and we kept within budget! Haha. Amazing. Haha. After that we proceeded to Sheng Siong to get more stuff before heading to Jiaxin's home for reunion dinner.
Her mum's damn nice lah. Cooked curry for us in addition to preparing the steamboat soup. Haha. The curry was damn good, plus the baguette it was awesome.
The yu sheng without the fish but add in the bak kwa! Hahaha. Creativity. Haha. And watched some lame jack neo movie. Haha. Great laughter. Ice-cream which I can't touch was extremely torturous. Haha. Ginger bear that I finally tasted and quite liked it. Oh and it miraculously cured my cough! Haha. And not forgetting the childish chopstick fights! Hahaha. Such ridiculous fun! LOL! Love that close knitted-ness among us. Haha.
Anyway had reunion dinner with my real family just now. Had a really sumptuous meal as well. Haha. My mum simply loves to host family dinners with loads of good food. Had a real yu sheng too. Haha. Damn nice to have it once a year. Really reminds me how 1 year has passed already. Haha. Anyway steamboat's not the in-thing already, grilling is! Haha. Had great fun grilling everything under the sun. Haha. Although I'm feeling quite guilty coz all the grilling has left my entire living room hall greasy and my poor maid have to mop it. Although I told her I should help, she said it was ok coz she's afraid I will create more havock! Hahaha. Had chocolate fondue for dessert. Haha. It's my first time trying after my bro's girlfriend bought us a chocolate fondue machine. Haha. Not the most successful attempt I must say, but it was alright I guess. Haha. These reunion dinners seems like just another dinner on the surface, but it's what keeps families closely-knitted. Traditions exist for a reason and I'm really convinced of the influence of family meals. Haha.
Just came back from the temple. It's an annual event to visit the temple past midnight of chinese new year eve. The temple's really packed with devoted people, all wishing the best and only the best for their families and friends. Haha. Although it's really quite a hassle to squeeze through the mobs of people holding on to suffocating bunches of burning joss sticks and praying, my family makes it a point to do it every year. It gives us a sense of security and hope, and I guess that's what keep most people going for the next year.
I believe there's a chinese tradition stating that the later we sleep on Chinese New Year Eve, the longer our parents will live till. Haha. So that's the reason why I'm still typing and clicking away on my computer way past midnight. Haha. Such superstitions may sound unrealistic to many of us, I would rather be safe then sorry. Haha. Kiasu Singaporean indeed. Haha.
Later I'm going for visiting! Haha. Haven't gone visiting these couple of years due to a series of unfortunate events. So yupz, it's gonna be pretty interesting and fun. Haha. Haven't seen some of my relatives in quite some time already, so I guess this chinese new year would be extra meaningful for me. Ang Baos! Haha. My last few times I would be able to collect Ang Bao's. Have to treasure it!=D
Oh and my TP test's coming. Having the jitters already. I'm just not confident of passing. I guess I should just try my best. And pray really hard.
Oh and not to mention my GEP interview on 26 Feb. Even more scary. Oh I must say the NUS admin staff is damn helpful. Got some dates mixed up so they initially scheduled my interview on the morning of 19th feb which I obviously can't make it. However, Mdm Devi from the GEP department was damn nice to reschedule for me despite the mistake being mine. A million thanks to her. Haha. Now I need to prepare really hard for the interview. Heard it's pretty nerve wrecking. Haha.
Full timetable starts for me after Chinese New Year. It's gonna get busy but yupz, hope I really enjoy it. Haha. I sacrificed 2 other internship opportunities for this so I hope I won't regret my choice. Hahaha.
On a random note, I just love 超级星光大道. Hahaha. Damn nice. =D
Anyway wishing everyone a...
