Lights Out!! Leo's one and only blog

Indeed this is a very belated blog entry about my CNY but nevertheless.

I really didn't expect my collections this year to surpass last years but it did(I always think that every year anyway)! The only difference between this year's CNY and Last year's is that this year I'm saving money for my ORD holiday!!! Went to my paternal grams' side for reunion dinner on the day before and had dinner there. And on the first day I did NOTHING!!! Boring eve and first day right?

Anyway on the second day things changed for the better. Earlier in the day my "relatives" whom i've not seen for years visited my family but at least I received afew red packets from them and met a cousin(or something like that), Valarie, haha whom i've never knew before. Then I went to my Ferrari Aunt's place. She has a Ferarri and Porsche SUV in her frontyard! I wish I have her car so that i can sell it away and get rich :D dun think I'll need her ang bao for the rest of my life after that! During the time I was at her place my cousin and I were counting our red packets to see if we had the correct amount. Then we found out that i got 9 and he had 6. So we backtracked to see who he missed but then we couldn't think of any other than our Ferarri aunt(because i thought she gave me one already). So he went over to ask her if she gave him his already. Turns out that she haven't gave anyone of us ours yet. Hahahahaha So he said to me: "Lionel!! Because of u, I sound like as if I'm so greedy!!" Then I said to him: "No, because of u, Aunt Ferarri remembered to give us our ang baos. YOU THE MAN!!!" hahaha. What I didn't tell him was that i forgot that 2 of my other aunts who were there forgot that they have given me an ang bao already and i myself forgot and when they asked me i told them: "Yee yee, I really dunno leh". Then they gave me my extra ang bao. Whereas my grandma brought me aside and gave me an extra red packet because im her favourite grandson haha. Being the favourite has its privileges!

After coming home that night, Piggy called me to go over to Don's place for TS house visitation. I was about to take a bath and sleep already. But for the team spirit!! I took out my mountain bike that has been collecting dust(must take it out for a ride after i ORD) and pumped its tires before setting off and almost crashed afew times along the way due to fatigue. It was already 12am and Don's parents were still up to give red packets! So nice. Saw everyone playing mahjong, a game i could hardly fathom, when i was there so after sitting next to Steph for awhile to be her lucky charm(because she was losing) i played racing games with Piggy on PS2. Left His place at 1:45am together with Piggy and Mun. Steph started winning after i transferred luck to her.

Day 3, Met up with Don to have dim sum lunch with the TS. Met Piggy at Tiong Bahru and she drove us over to Red Star(sounds communist right?) dim sum restaurant. Mun and Yogi were waiting for us there. Mun later told us that a fight broke out there the day before and Don and I hoped another one would break out so that we could run out of there without paying(we even wanted to think of how to start a fight to imitate the previous day's event). But in the end we ate like pigs, stuffed our tummies to the point i missed dinner and lunch the day after and left the restaurant with 21 bucks lighter wallets. Since Don and I had nothing on after that we went to mun's place for more ang baos. Initially we only thought Mun's parents would be there but his aunty was there too!! STEADY! One more red packet!! We also "Lo Hei" at his place as his family bought the Lou Hei and alot of other food(thus stretching our already overstretched tummies). His niece, Andrea was there also. A very commanding and bossy kid but at the same time fun to play with also. At first she was ignoring both Don and I. I went over to talk to her first but she ignored me to which Don said: "Good, dun talk to strangers." but when he tried she also ignored him(you forgot you're a stranger to her too Don). But once we started playing PS2 with her, she kept saying to me: "SIT NEXT TO ME!" and to Don: "GIVE ME THE CONTROLLER, I NEED THE CONTROLLER!".

A very happy and prosperous Chinese New Year to all my readers and friends! God bless each and everyone of you!
