CNY

Well supposed to be back to work today but upon waking up, I can feel my reluctant body telling me to go back to sleep. Web then tossed and said he felt like taking leave so I supported him! Sent a message to my boss and colleagues and went back to sleep. Woke up ard 11.45am and both of us started getting online to check stuff and apply leave (Web).

Since we were cooped at home whole of yesterday after the happening Saturday, we decided to head out for lunch. Ended up at Plaza Singapura and did some shopping after lunch then watched "Sweeney Todd". Eh the show was quite gross and surprising was narrated by singing, just like those stage show. After that we went Thai Express for a yummy dinner then headed home. Finally something to make up for the boring holidays.

Eve of Chinese New Year
I was on leave while Web went back to work for half day b4 we met up at his mum's place for reunion lunch. Web needed to work again from 7pm to over midnight so we had to eat early. Reunion dinner at my mum's place was done last Saturday. The food was of coz sumptous, thanks to sis for helping mum to cook else it would have been a disaster!

When I saw the food Web's mum prepared, I was like "...". I dun quite like most of the food so got no choice but to try to eat some. I guess really haven't gotten use to his mum's cooking yet.

Went home and took a rest b4 Web left for work while I left for mum's place. It was sis' birthday so we arranged to meet and cut cake for her. Bro (and Peggy) was kind enough to offer to send me home after the cake cutting, which was almost 11.30pm+ and we counted down to cny in his car.

Stayed up till abt 2am and couldn't wait anymore so went to bed. Web then came back ard 3am+.

Chinese New Year - 1st day
Woke up damn early, just like going to work. Web rushed me out by 8.30am and he only called his mum when we were downstairs then realised she had gone out. We were supposed to go his mum's place 1st so sort of wasted to wake up that early! We got no choice but to visit his grandma at AMK then breakfast at S11 at AMK Central.

Next we went to my mum's place b4 going over to grandma's place for lunch and the annual cny meet-up with the rest of the relatives. It was always fun there with the cousins around and we had a good time catching up. Web had wanted to leave by 2pm but I managed to dragged till ard 3.30pm hahaha. It would have been quite bored if we have to leave early, spoil all the fun.

We then head to his mum's place, sat around a while and left to pack McDonalds back for dinner. Was feeling real tired by then as I never had to wake up that early b4 I was married...

Chinese New Year - 2nd day
Woke up 9am+ and Bro came to fetch me shortly after Web left for work. We were supposed to turn up for my maternal grandma's birthday celebration (at Bishan) but he got called back to office last minute. As usual, we hanged out at one corner having our lunch (from the buffet they ordered) and entertaining ourselves. One of my uncle even got me and my sis mixed up and naturally sis was quite pissed. Actually I also dun quite understand why they can get confused every year.

After spending about a boring 1.5hrs+ there, we finally left ahead of the others while I took a bus back from Bishan as bro needed to send my parents and sis home while they continued on to Malaysia for more visiting.

Web wasn't feeling well and he reached home slightly earlier than me. We then spent the whole day at home. I managed to catch some episodes of the Taiwan serial I was watching and stopped since last Sept.

Chinese New Year - 3rd day
Woke up not so early today as visitors would only be here ard 2pm. We had brunch packeted from downstairs and waited for the guests. Had invited Xris, Angeline and Hui over with their partners, as well as my parents and sis. Was surprised that Xris was the earliest then followed my family. Was surprised grandma also came along. The rest then arrived as we spilt into groups to chitchat. Parents then left to visit my 2nd uncle nearby and who knows, the uncle came over with his family too.

It was fun to have so many people ard but too bad my friends had to leave early as they have other appointments. Guessed they also felt abit out of place with so many of my family and relatives ard. Lucky my house was big enough...

It was ard 5pm+ then Web suggested we get them to stay for dinner and ordered pizzas + KFC. I was also feeling quite hungry by then as the food would only arrive abt 1.5hrs later. Everyone was bz chitchatting and finally dinner came, earlier than expected. They left shortly after dinner and we proceeded to clean up. Web had wanted to leave it till the next day but I felt awkward and anticipated that I would not have mood the next day.

I then continued my Taiwan serials while he watched TV b4 we called it a nite.

Chinese New Year - 4th day
Woke up quite late at 12pm+ and had lunch downstairs. Rotted at home the whole day but I managed to finish my Taiwan serials!
