Well, where should I start? Let's see.

The year of the pig was a good start for me. I had a good time at the reunion dinner with my family. This was despite some usual hiccups over how the steamboat should be cooked btw dad and the rest at popo house. Dad says we should be free to cook watever we wanna eat, but they say there's a very systematic way of cooking steamboat and deciding what goes in first and what goes in last. For eg. we must put in all the meat at one go, and no one is supposed to put in the vege till they say it's time to put it in. The logic is that the cooked food cannot be mixed with raw ones. Alrite, though me and my mum seek to differ, but we respect their tradition and went along with it. My dad was unhappy though, and he chop chop ate for 10mins and left the table.

Dear came over to stay at our house on the eve. Wow, it's the first time he did so, and felt really special to me. New room, new furniture, new start. Love the fact that I finally have a room of my own, and a green room somemore with Xiao Zhu's poster. Hehe.

Chu yi was the usual visiting for us. We went to Popo house, then went to jw's relatives' houses for visiting. At nite we went to his Ah Ma house, and Ah Ma was throwing tantrums and refused to take ang pow $$ from anyone. We played the usual mahjong, poker cards and all. Then at nite we met jw and his frenz at Movida at St James. It was fun playing games, dancing, chatting. Alas jw got quite drunk when we got back. I was so worried next day we'll be late for visiting.

& yesh Chu er, we were indeed late. Not becos we couldn't wake up, for I woke jw up in time. But becos he heard the time wrongly over the phone with my mum. Got a earful from mummy, but well well, in the end it was ok. But today we had no luck at poker, and regardless of whether we played blackjack or in between, our cards were terrible! End up we lost about $240 in all. Uh oh. The nite was just as bad at his dua kor's house. Haha. Dear's cards were really bad at xi gi bi and he lost $110 to his cousins. Well, mine was not that bad but not that better off as I lost $30 too when usually I will win abit one ley. Hehe. Jw was so fed up that he ended up betting more and losing even more. Aiyoh. Guys.

Jw had to work the whole of Chu san. And lucky me was off for the whole week. Hehe. Thanks to OMD for giving me two days of official leave and one day of annual leave. I decided to do smtg useful this week. Hehe. So on Chu san, i had secondary frenz' gathering at Weijie's house. Luv spending time with all of them. Oh well, I lost $50 at blackjack again! It's my worst card game. And even Texas Holdem I lost a few dollars. Hoho. Oh, even mahjong I lost $5! What a year. First time I lose everything. But nvm, one year once, so I told myself to just enjoy and have fun in the process. & yeah it was fun!! =)

On Chu si, I went to the dentist. Finally. Dentist told me my last visit was in 1999. *faintz* So he asked me what I wanna do. I said "General checkup and polishing". He said "Ok. I will also do patching for you if I find any." Omg. Thanks to my lucky stars, he didn't find any cavities and I didn't need to bu ya. But he said muz go see him every half a year. Yes, sir!! =p In the afternn, me and jw went to popo house to play mj with her and ah yi. Mahjong is my popo's fav game, but yet she always end up unhappy when she lose $$. Mummy always say her pai pin very bad, and it's very hard to play with her. True enough, today popo throw tantrum again. But if you scold her or say her, she'll end up very sad. So we just learn to shut up and let her have her way. Afterall she's so old and she juz wanna have some fun. Once, jw chided me for being rude to my popo when I asked her not to care so much about winning $$. That was one of my saddest moments. To have my bf telling me off on how I treat my family. But alrite, mebbe it was for my own good. So I learnt to give way to popo more, despite her curt behaviour.
