cny lethargy

feel lethargic now...

chinese new year has been a bit exhausting with some late nights. been waking up late in the late morning 2 days in a row as well. that is mainly because i have no more activities lined up for chinese new year. no more open houses to visit. how bored. the house is all quiet at the moment too. only the grandparents are with me. the rest (parents, aunt and yeelin) have gone up to cameron highlands to visit aunt's friend. wei should be in bangkok already now. he left home yesterday and today he flew to bangkok with his friends.

i still have 2 more days at home to rejuvenate...i hope the battery will not fall dead because of lethargy ;)

oh and good news for perakians...3 february is a public holiday for the state! it is to mark the silver jubilee of the sultan. yeah! go to work one day, then another day of rest. and on 9th february also holiday for thaipusam! woohoo!!!







all food are in this sort of red plastic covered jars this year. fill till all the four corners cannot take.
our food for reunion dinner...err...the steam fish is missing...someone forgot to take it out from the wok...haha...but dun worry...the mistake was later realised and the whole fish only left the bone by the end of dinner.

sob sob...the meagre chinese new year decorations we have in this corner...

this is taken today...the turtle actually got out from his pail today and was crawling all the way to the gate...beanie barked the whole house down and got grandpa's attention who later notified grandma. and i ran down from upstairs after beanie did not stop barking. the turtle crawled into the drain but before it dropped into the big drain in front of the house, grandma scooped it up. phew! so a feather in the cap for beanie for saving the turtle from escaping!!! beanie was actually more scared of the turtle...it did not even touch it...just followed it and barked all the way.
oh, another beanie story. few days ago mom caught a rat in the rat trap. so she boiled a pot of hot water to u know what. when the water was boiled, she brought the rat in the trap out into the garden and poured the hot water to kill it. beanie followed the whole procedure with curiousity. then when the rat died, mom put the pot down and wrapped the rat in plastic and went outside to throw the rat into the bin. after that, mom came back to retrieve the pot from the garden and when beanie saw mom retrieving the pot, he straightaway shot to the back of the house. haha...i think u guys know what that dog was thinking right? ...would i be next? gosh....he was sooo funny.

oh, those in tm yearning for some pizzas, u can do so now until feb 1. there is pizza on wheel in front of the bus station. although they only have pan pizza, well, it is still pizza. i bought one on the 2nd day of cny on the way back from sing thian's house with yeelin.
yeelin has been with me during my house visits too since she had nothing to do. well, of course she collected a few ang pows on the way, but her most important mission was to introduce all to the game of chikam!
yes, she brought the cards along in my bag! now almost all my friends know how to chi kam. so next year more kakis i guess since it is such a fast game and u really get to see who is lucky.


this is the entrance of pavilion on the third day of cny. went to candy's house in subang jaya for lunch with aunt and yeelin. i also visited pikkien at her grandma's new condo. then it was off to sg wang and pavilion after picking up jia en. aunt was in pavilion to meet her secondary school friend....it has been ages since they met. aunty raslah came with her husband uncle zamry. so i accompanied them while yeelin and en went to sg wang. we reached home 30 mins before midnight....owww...so tiring. as the driver for the day, i managed to pocket rm100 worth of red packets. haha...so not bad eh. the collection this year has not dwindled, the amount i get is still the same as last year's. yeelin seeing me still able to take in ang pows said she does not want to get married. waaa....just for this reason???
any activities for this weekend? i think aunt and yeelin will follow uncle back to kl tomorrow and on sunday, they have got a room in genting. so i won't be seeing them as they will be leaving for australia on 5th. a good time to finish watching my curious case of benjamin button.
