4 days of feasting and sneezing...

gong xi fa cai! 恭喜发财!

if i haven't had chance to see you or call you or sms you in the past 4 days, it is still not too late to wish you a happy lunar new year!

this cny has been super busy and jammed packed with house visiting! haven't been that rushed for the past few years!!! haha... must be because of the long weekend... ate a lot (practically non-stop feasting and snacking), but also been feeling lousy with the flu bug since cny eve! what a start to the new year! used more tissue paper, ate more strepsils, yet not enough rest. sigh... then getting back to work tmr alr... i wish we had 15 days of holidays!!! oh well, a quick run-down for the past 4 days...

cny eve - home
reunion dinner at home with my family. had to wait for my eldest sister & bro-in-law to come, so dinner only started around 9pm... the must have every year... lotus root soup, chicken & duck, steam fish, prawns, black moss with dried oysters. yummy!!! how not to put on weight right?
day 1 - relatives house visiting
went to my god-granny's place, then followed by house hopping from my god-uncle and 2 god-aunties place. just placed myself at all the couches, coz i was feeling grumpy and drowsy from all the sneezing!

day 2 - G's place
it had been a tradition since our poly days to go to G's mommy house on the 2nd day of cny. nothing changed except the new addition of baby danielle

day 3 - various houses!
it started late at about 4pm at my ex-boss house in the east. had a great time catching up with everyone. followed by dinner at AQ's (WY's colleague) house at holland for a super yummy dinner with hainanese chicken rice, prawn noodles, laksa etc... all prepared by her mom! then finally rushed to G's house at bt batok for late night MJ session! haha!

day 4 - current colleague's place
went to CCK, near yew tee, for a luncheon at my current hr mgr's place. after our makan session, joined them for blackjack and in-between (nope, never win money) and ended the gathering with a loh hei!

that's it! so not looking forward to start work tmr...
