I Know What You Did this CNY 2005 (*part 2)

Day 6 - 1st Day of Chinese New Year : Ang Pow mali-mali
"GONG XI FA CHAI~!!!"
As usual, those words... makes me.. feel.. older...
Got up early in the morning, and straightaway got scoldings from my Dad. My highlighted hair. Sigh... not gonna elaborate on it anymore.
Went to relatives' house to 'pai nee'. It's our first time going 'pai nee' on the first day of CNY because all those years, my parents always have Open House from noon till late at night. But not this year. This year's Open House only starts at 6pm in the evening till late at night, with buffet dinner.
Things got busy around 5pm when the caterer came and arrange those tables and chairs. Sorry folks, this year no roti jala. But the laksa & nasi tomato is quite delicious.
Relatives came about 9pm and my sisters went to put some firecrackers with their friends from the island and a few younger cousins of mine. They fired a 8 feet long, red firecrackers. Geez, it was so loud that my eardrums are bombarded.

Day 7 - 2nd Day of CNY : Lagi-lagi Ang Pow
Again, got up early to go to my Grandmother's house. All my uncles & aunties will be there. It'll be so pack like a Family Reunion. Alot of the came all the way from Johor, Klang, KL, etc. which i lost count. Younger cousins running here and there. Teenage cousins hiding in one corner with PCs, telling their joke-of-the-year, soft frinks on one hand, ang pows on the other, etc. Aunties busy preparing delicacies & mee rebus, halal and non-halal. Uncles, trying to make an immitation of God-of-Prosperity, but got run down by small little "mobsters" demanding for more angpows. Elders... well, either they're lost in conversation or lost in the idiot box, with 'hehe & haha's came out once in a while.

Day 8 - 3rd Day of CNY : AhKor's Banglo
Pulled AiLin out to accompany me to the island to visit my AhKor in Sungai Ara. I'm still not that familiar with some of the roads especially the Bayan Lepas area, so AiLin will be my tour guide a.k.a. 'orang tunjuk jalan'.
Met AhKor and Irene in Super Tanker, took lunch, went to his house. Situated in Taman Bayan, a new housing scheme, i believe, his house/banglo is very spacious, to consider only 4 person living in it. He showed us around his new house and gosh, his family really knows the definition of 'luxurious' (i'm quoting from AiLin), a house with big personal bathroom for each room, and a sauna & jacuzzi on the 2nd floor with an "attic". His room is cool, i mean, cool colours makes it look cool, in contrast with the hot weather outside before we came into his house. Closets are closed, beds are made, but aih.. his laptop & other 'ka-chang' are splatted on the floor! *smugs* =D

Day 9 - 4th Day of CNY : Pegi sana, pegi sini
List of the events. Went to SweeIm's house at 9.30am, CheaYing's house at 10.45am, WayNah's house at 12pm, YitShee's house at 1pm and meet Corina there, had lunch at 2.00pm, and reached my house at 2.30pm. Planned to go to AiLin's house next with Corina, then to the cinema to watch Constantine with SweeIm, but my eldest cousin is coming all the way from Kuala Selangor to visit. Sigh... i really wanna watch Keanu Reeves~

Day 10 - 5th Day of CNY : tak mau balik lagi, mau lagi angpow =(
Went back to Malacca... in a hot weather... like 35 degrees celcius... stuck in traffic jam... sweats pouring from head to toe... arrrhhhh~!!!!!


I STILL WANT MORE ANGPOWS~!!!!!!!

I STILL WANT MORE HOLIDAYS~!!!!!!
