The best Chinese New Year ever!!
Sunday, 10 February 2008
This year's the best in terms of meaning, activities and efficiency.
Chu yi: 1st uncle's place n grand aunt's place, as usual. But at night we had dinner at maternal granddad's place. We even gambled Blackjack. I won a dollar. Haha. Excluding the 2 hr nap I took in between at home, it was a well-spent day. To end the day off, mahjong galore!! And I won a game w 7 doubles - Pong Pong, Half Colour, 1 animal, Facai and Baiban!!! BUt no real money involved. Hahah. Still happy though.
Chu er: 1st uncle's family came to our hse for lunch. After lunch, a round of Blackjack. This was the first time we as a family, ever gambled. I won 2 dollars. Haha. Then they left, and the 2nd round of guest came at 4pm. My father's cousins were here to visit their auntie, my grandma. 6pm, they left and at 7pm, the next round came - my mum's dad and brother together w his parents-in-law. Mahjong again. Haha, till 3am.
Chu san: Visited bf's hse, then he came over to mine to watch a DVD n played comp games. For dinner, we had steamboat. Mum already had them w her grp of friends. After we were done, my sis and her grp of friends was next on the list for steamboat. She brought like a dozen friends from her dance class. As they left after dinner to visit other pple's place, it was another night of mahjong for us - 2nd uncle, mum, myself and my bf. We played till 4am. It was a 3 win 1 game. Definitely not me who lost. Haha!!Chu si: Dumplings for lunch at my mum's Beijing staff place, like every year. Afterthat, met up w OY to purchase our rings. And that day was the end for my Chinese New Year buzz, everything started to slide back to norm from that day onwards. And I'm getting a lil sick of mahjong...
