Chinese New Year had past for like weeks, it is rather fun and enjoyable. This can be one of the most enjoyable Chinese New Year as the first day was one thursday, followed by Friday. Altogether, there was a 4 days break.
The first day of Chinese New Year, i went to my maternal grandmother's house. woke up rather early, was at my grandmother house at 10plus? We visited my grandmother, my uncle and aunt.
Later at around 11 plus, we went to my great aunt's house. We greeted our great uncle, great aunt, and my aunts. We had our lunch over there. It was a delicious meal. There was chilli prawns, steamed fish, braised duck and many other dishes.
The adults were chatting about Chinese New Year's events while my aunts , cousins and me were playing in de room with my two other little cousins. They were Kaijie and Kaixian.



We had fun playing with the brothers as it was long since we last played with little kids. When we were about to leave, all of us were sad.
After that we set off for my paternal aunt's house. The travelling distance was long as they luved at Boon Lay. We reached there at around 3 o'clock. We had some snacks, and followed by television shows after that.
My cousins and I gathered in the room, we chatted about how is school and life. The last time we met was nearly a year ago. Later on, we played black jack. I lost a few dollars to my cousins, they were simply experts for me. I'm just unable to beat them.
Finally it was time to go, the adults arranged to meet up on the coming sunday at my first uncle's house. I'm really looking forward to that day because if there wasn't a meet up, the next time we meet will be the next Chinese New Year.
We took a bus to Boon Lay interchange, mrt-ed down to Eunos. Took a bus to my babysitter's house. Upon reaching, we saw a different story, it was the adults gambling. It was the other way round.
We had our lunch, had some time with my babysitter's grandchildren. They were Javier and Aidon.

no, don't be shy...

... and please dun hop away

yeah! a nice pose, but just for Javier.
After that went home, it was a long day and all of us were dead beat.
The second day of Chinese New Year, we went to my paternal great uncle's house. They lived very near, so we just walked there.
Came home after that, we waited for my grandmother to come. When she reached, we went to waterloo street to pray. Shop-ed a little at bugis, but most of the shops were closed. Went to my grandmother's house.
Had dinner over there, went home after that.
The second day was rather short, so it just ended like that.
The third day of Chinese New Year was spent at home, i watched over 20 episodes of a korean drama. After dinner, we my mother and me went shopping at Tampines Mall and Century Square. Went home rather late as there wasn't school de following day.
The forth day of Chinese New Year, we went to my first uncle's house after lunch. Upon reaching, we had sharkfin. At 3, we at steamboat, i'm too full. so just had a little.
Cousins and I played blackjack again. we also played Big Two, which is also called Dai Di in Cantonese. We didn't play with money but scores instead this time round. There were actually some improvements in my skills. At least i won in some of the games.
Was supposed to go to my mother's friend's house, but my father was playing mahjong with my uncles and aunts. So we postpone it to another day.
We stayed for dinner, steamboat, as usual I didn't eat much. After that my first and third aunt came to our house. They had part of dinner at our house as my parents had cooked curry chicken earlier in the day.
They praised that it was yummy, but i don't think so. Perharps I had ate them all the time making me sick of the dish.
They went of at nearly 10, cleared up the mess, bathed and prepare to sleep. This was how the day ended.
