恭喜恭喜恭喜你啊！恭喜恭喜恭喜你！

okay,this song has been repeating at all fm stns today (day 1!) the whole day. hahaha kind of irritated by cny songs cos they sound the same to me and all are noisy. lol.

anyway like any other normal yrs our family went to the same relatives' hse (my dad's side). with an additional one who is my ahma's "godsister"i think. and she stays in this huge bungalow. which is 4 storeys high, and looks like a showflat. bcos it is v neat. not like any typical house with books lying arnd here and there. theirs is rly clean.

and so usually first stop will be at my ahma's hse. but since shes gone and her hse is not available, we met at my grandfather's cousin's hse at geylang east there near my hse to meet the other uncles, whom we will usually set out to relative's hse tgt.

oh before that went to my mum's mum (grandma) hse first. hahahhaa.

oaky den 2nd stop at my grandfather's brother's hse. since his brother is not aorund since dno how many yrs ago, we were entertained by his wife. which is my grandfather's sis-in-law. lol. oh at hougang anw

3rd stop- sembawang. my ahma's elder sister. she totally looks like my ahma. i mean they're sisters, so of cos. but srsly, they rly look damn alike. seeing her makes me think of my ahma. awwwwww. i rly miss her. esp one angbao less to collect on cny. heh. but rly, i miss her. even till now. im beginning to fear that i will forget her face one day. alright, no sad stuff

4th stop- jurong. my grandfather's cousin hse. whom my ahma gave one of her sons to. usually both elderly will be at home. but this time, the uncle (92 years old alr!omg) was sent to hospice. bcos he had lung cancer. and as u all now, hospice is for someone who hv terminal illness and let them go off peacefully. righhhtt. i still vividly rmb how to used to serve us kids with this huge box of jelly at their old hse in macpherson.

last stop- dover hospice near ttsh. he was so mch thinner. talk mch less now. my heart goes out to him.

cny has nver been so boring. cny has been much btr with my ahma's presence. at least the very first stop will be at her hse. and the very last stop too. breakfast & dinner. but now, even though we go as one whole family, the feeling is different. i dont talk much to my cousins now. bcos they got their own siblings to talk to. and we've got nothing much to share. and it seems like, time rly drifts people apart. not meeting each other for dinners for a year. except seeing each other at the temple for prayers for my ahma. but we still dont communicate. although i have a cousin who is of same age as me, we dont click. we do play masak masak in the past when we were young, but as we gew older, she talked more to her elder sister and 2 elder brothers. play with them. talk with them. i mean, we just drifted. and i dno wat to talk to her abt.

but its a bit different for the cousin i hv at my mum's side. at least i hv topic to talk with him. i mean, not as bad. anyway, i dont talk mch with all the family, hahaha.

i cant believe i've got 50 more years of cny to celebrate. woah.

pictures of the day! (just 5 will do k hahaha)
