HOPE EVERYONE HAD FUN COLLECTING LOTS OF ANGPOWS!! :)
cny was a lot different for me this year.
it was still the same for my paternal side, with them joking around, despite one of my cousin wasn't there (one person missing is very obvious cause it's a small family there heh), but not the other side.
not only did my maternal side not celebrate cny, the whole mood was just not there despite all the standard cny goodies and decorations around the house.
yes, it's a lot different without you.
and it was sadder for me cause i really looked forward to this year's cny, having not spend the last year's with everyone at home.
no you to laugh at/with, no you to talk to, no you to start our mini banluck game before everyone joined in and voila! everyone is playing together.
family gatherings would.. just be alot different for me without you around, without you to hang out with.
i practically only hang out with you, weilong, jiamin and qiqi the most hahaha.
but on the other hand, this year's cny is the first one which i visited tay's relatives and grandmother :)
i had seen his maternal side before, like a few times, due to some birthday/first month celebrations and a wedding dinner, but not his paternal side.
and he told me his aunts on that side are looking forward to seeing me hehe. /shys
here is my cny schedule heh.
*photo spam alert*
i am too lazy to sort them out properly~
CHU XI (EVE OF CNY)
'reunion lunch' with tay at bpp's ichiban sushi having spend the night over at his place.
hehe the food was great!! :D think i'll go back there again when i am feeling rich hahaha.
he drove me back home and i napped at home a little before preparing for a bit to go for my reunion dinner!! hehe.
went over to ortao ahma house to sit sit before going over to tpy ahma house to eat for realzzz.
had ahma's as always awesome (4As!!) noodles nomnomz and i love her soup as much as everrrr and abaloneee hehehe love her prawns tooooo.
jiamin's soonbeng came over to join us for dinner tooooo. since his family have reunion lunches instead which jiamin joined.
here are some selcas of me and qiqi on the way to ahma house hahah.
DAY ONE
went over to my paternal grandmother side first.
was late because we were supposed to meet there w the rest at like 11!?!? but we reached at 12.30?? HAHA jiamin was toooooo slow in preparing.
tay was feeling sorry cause he was running late but in the end we reached at almost the same time HAHA.
some photos before we left the house:
i was very much annoyed by my fringe :(
qiqi is very much annoyed by me lolll.
HAHAHA AT QIQI.
jiamin busy saving and deleting photos cause her memory card was fulllll.
at my grandma houseeeee:
three happy sisters with an unhappy tay HAHA i like this candid shot though.
tay must be engrossed in the tv show hahah.
the kids in the house yo!!
some older kids wanted to join hahaha.
our da peng youssss.
tay sitting on a very small stool lolol.
at my maternal side:
see this woman who can change face very fast lolol.
leaving to go over to visit tay's relatives~ say hi to my fat faceeeee....
i think i have food in my mouth to smile properly :( prefer my own toothy smileeee.
like those more proper ones... when i was there not everyone was there yet D:
din actually take much photos because.. i lost the mood.. :(
fast forward to tay's aunt's house~~
tay's paternal aunts were very nice and kind to me :') feeling so fortunate.
had steamboat at their place too! it was kind of crazy for me and tay because we never stopped, never stopped eatingggggg.
tay had lunch and yusheng before leaving his house to go over to my paternal ahma hse.
we had lunch there (AGAIN FOR HIM) and then sat down and ate all the goodies nonstop until we left.
went over to my maternal side and we had more goodies and had a small dinner before leaving.
went over to his aunt's house and STEAMBOAT omg it's really crazy.
after the steamboat we had more goodies lolol time to exercise i am feeling really unhealthyyyy.
SECOND DAY
went to visit ortao in the morning because it's his 49th day.
staring at the photo on the stone plate makes my heart ache so much.
went back to ahma house and had lunch before going home to prepare~
no more cny visitations on my side and so went over to tay's maternal side of his family to bai more nian!
angpows angpows fly into my pockettt!! lolol okay just kidding.
dun expect much because i am not their family members afterall.
have alr seen too much at my own family. because my aunties always finish 'wrapping' their angpows in one of the room at ahma house and we always watched how much they put in it before handing it over to the non-family members hahahahaha.
and since it's also me and tay's second anniversary (TIME FLIES), i texted him the night before to wish him and complained about him not wishing me, he wished me face-to-face.
no presents or whatsoever we are too busy for these HAHA.
should probably make it up to each other some time laterrrrr.
anw, when we reached, they were already playing banluck.
as someone who really enjoys the banluck sessions during cny (one of the main reasons why i look forward to cny) my eyes lit up.
but i sat at the side quietly first and watched them and the tv before tay's mum asked me to join them hehe and so i did.
tay knows i love gambling and he sponsored me for a bit though i returned him the money afterwards okay.
lost in the end but it's okayyy.
(had tears in my eyes before we started the game because banluck reminds me of ortao so very much.
we were the kids who love to gamble lolol.
the kids who were always impatient to start, and if we see that no adult is starting to play, we would start playing amongst ourselves first, with bets of 10cents to 20cents lolol.
and slowly people will join in, and as we grow older, the older ones scolded us because they always had to find change to pay us and our stakes therefore increased hahaha.)
i dun have any photos on the second day :( i think i have a few w tay? but it's really awkward to take out my camera and snap away lolol.
DAY THREE
gwy and ade came visiting and we basically erm nua-ed around and watched tv while playing monopoly deal hahaha.
ohh and ade ate alot of goodies that pigggg hahahaha.
sorry i am in my home clothes hahahaha. it's at home maaaa :(
changed and prepared a bit and went over to another of tay's aunt's house at sbw.
stayed there and watched tv and had some dinner.
tay's dad sent me home :') and the following was what happened which really warmed up my heart so so so much.
thank you my love, for reminding me that you are there for me always.
and everytime you hold my hand and smile at me, it really just eases whatever negative thoughts i have at that moment. thank you very much.
this is my cny. kbye.
