CNY 2009

25th Jan:
Had our steamboat reunion dinner at cousin's house. It was great, as usual. There were slices of abalone, fish, meat, fishballs, squid, prawns, vegetables, etc. We had 2 steamboats, one for the 'adults', one for the 'Cullenists', to quote my cousin. Except that only 3 of us are Cullenists.

Drank sparkling fruit juice and apple cider afterwards.

Countdown at home and slept at about 1am.

26th Jan:
The 1st day of CNY. Bathed, wore "new" clothes, and went visiting.

I don't understand how a lot of people don't like visiting their relatives. Well, probably because they hated the awkward questions asked and all. But my side of relatives, they don't do all that.

The best part about CNY, besides from the goodies and flowers, is the wearing nice clothes and accessories. In how many occasions in the year can I wear those?

My father asked me to wear my knee-high boots but I don't want to. It looks weird with my silver dress. Even he thought so.

There weren't many houses to visit anyway.

Went my cousin's house afterwards.

We were thinking of watching Red Cliff 2 in the theater at night. I didn't think there was a need to book tickets as the movie was already out for a long time and at the timing, not many people will go watch it.

Guess what? I checked online and all tickets were sold out. What the... I can't believe that my calculations were wronged. Those that want to watch it would have done so when it was 1st released.

PS: Don't feel like going back to school. The mere thought of that makes my mood for the day blue. How is it that it can be fun for 2 days then went back to school for the next?
