Happy Chap Goh Mei!

元宵節快樂!

Today is the last day of CNY. I'm a bit sad that CNY is bidding farewell to us all because that means

• No more excuse to eat lots of junk food without feeling guilty;

• No more free fireworks show to watch at the comfort of my home; and

• No more visiting of friends at their homes without having to give any reasons [although we don't need any reasons to visit knh's place. His mum (and grandma) PERSONALLY tells us to visit her place ANYTIME and as often as we can. Auntie K, WE WILL!! We like you too! ;p]

The only way to cheer myself up on this day is to look forward to the big meal tonight d(^V^)P Hooray... *happy*

Hmm.. I'm so easily satisfied ^^

The Pefect Oneeee

After 2 weeks of painful hunt at every possible places and corners of Kch (very exhausting), I am so happy that I've finally found THE ONE! Hip Hip Hooray..!

I got this bookshelf for my room yesterday. Just the right kind I've imagined. And at a very reasonable price! I've asked a lot of friends and searched a lot of places for it. They are either too big, just the right size but no doors, too fragile or too expensive. Is my standard to high or what? haha...

Mum recommended the place yesterday, i went today and got what the perfect one! Haiyaaaaa, I should've asked mum earlier. Then i could've started my big project earlier (as if!) ;p

oh btw, my big project this Ox year is to turn my war-zone like room into a sanctuary (although it is already one for me ;p) that I dare to show ppl of. Fingers crossed and wish me luck because I don't know if that will ever happen. Procrastination is my middle name ;p

Guess Who

hehe, i can imagine his reaction when he sees this picture. We were laughing like mad when we captured the moment. He didn't know. He was too busy. Probably dreaming abt swimming (and eating at the same time) in foodland. Or may be his choo choo train was so loud that he couldn't hear us.

I really think he deserves a post of his own. He is the only person I know who can sleep anywhere anytime. And he sleeps in style. Just look at his relaxed pose! So carefree, so so.... funny but in a cute way (me just being polite here ;p).

I took a similar picture of him lying on the exact same chair a last year. I'm impressed with his sleeping ability. He really enjoys sleeping.

No wonder he said he doesn't have time to jog...

"where did the salted fish smell come from?"

"crap! it's my armpit!"

Is that the same clothes he wore 1.5 years ago?

Same Same?

I'm starting to get used to my new hairdo.

With my curly hair, Jane and I are more confusing than ever. Strangers and friends think we look very alike, almost the same like this. Even Jane thinks I look like her! Errr, why not the other way round? Hmmpphh...

We went for a haircut last weekend. After the trim, our hairdresser looked at us in the mirror and said we look exactly the same. We've always thought we didn't look the same. Just very similar. But that day, we had to agree. We look THE SAME.

Us after hair trim

Spooky huh?

p/s: Somebody sneakily had her head slightly behind the other to create a 'perfect tiny face' effect. So cunning huh? haha...

Happy NIU year!

It's CNY! That means a few things - time to start afresh, reunite and catch up with loved ones and friends! It's the time to celebrate! And being Chinese, we like to celebrate with food. Yayeee...

I've not had any proper food for the past 3 days. All I stuffed into my mouth were crackers & acar (my fav!!), CNY cookies, cakes, sweets and tarts, BBQ pork slices, fizzy drinks and food which I've no names for... Whatever dieting rules I tried to follow were out the windows. It's rude to reject kind ppl who offer nice food ;p

And what's CNY without firecrackers? My usually-quiet-neighbourhood turned into a war zone at 12am on the 1st day of CNY. Fireworks broke the silence and lit up the dark sky. My bestest friend-since-the-moment we-were-conceived (namely Jane) and I stood outside our home enjoying the moment. Yup, CNY has definitely arrived. We could feel and smell CNY in the air...

The smell and sound of firecrackers brought back many fond childhood memories. When we were small, after playing our chicken-spin-around fireworks, dad would drove us all out to see colourful street lights in his old jeep. Mum would always remind us to not stick our heads out the windows. And if friends and relatives happened to still be awake when we passed by their houses, we would pay them a quick visit. It was exciting for us. Not only did we get to sleep very late & collecting red packets but also no scolding for snacking unhealthily and unlimitedly y(^^)y It was heaven for us kids.

That happy family time feeling engraves deeply in my heart. Each time I hear and smell firecrackers or at the sight of street lights, the images of happy family time play before my eyes..... I really miss those moments.

What's my wish this CNY? Pretty obvious huh.

It happened before CNY

It's 2 days before CNY and this happened

Good thing that I was at home and not somewhere on the street when it happend.

So out the tools I got and tried to removed the tire so i could bring to the tire shop for a quick fix. I managed to figure out how to raise the car (yeah! A girl could do a man's job!) but I didn't have the strength to unscrew. No matter how I pushed and pulled, and even 'stood' on the bar, nothing happened. So in the end, I called my mechanic for help....

Oh well, at least I tried to do it myself....

Glad to say, my tire has been fixed! Yayeee...

Dream dream dream

Was talking to Jane just now. She is now on her way from Taipei to HK. And tomorrow, she will be on coming HOME for CNY! Yayeee.... I can't wait!

As she was complaining how time consuming her precious time are wasted on travelling and how difficult and inconvenient it is to have so many heavy luggage bags, something got me into fantasizing - if only we had doraemon's 'ren yi meng' ('Go anywhere anytime door'). Everywhere would be just one step away! That means we could go anywhere anytime we liked. No fuss, no hassle, no time wasted. And Jane would be able to live in Kch while working in HK at the same time (which also means i don't have to eat laksa everyday everytime she comes home ;p). That would be so cool!

Hehe, I'm excited just by imagining about it!! Oooo.. only if we could live in the cartoon world and had a friend like Doraemon...
