back at work

a little disappointed today coz NeuNeu was recalled today at a last minute n our plan to have dinner at Dover has to be postponed again. after sending him to Boon Lay, i took the direct bus to office. despite the dinner n snacks he bought to appease the disgruntled me, i still grumbled about carrying the heavy stuff to work in heels. actually, he already told me the nature of his job in the new team, but i guess it's still hard accept the fact that I DON'T GET TO EAT THE YUMMY FOOD!!! alright. i'm a glutton.

here's a picture of a dead-tired NeuNeu.

was out at Loyang Tua Pek Gong temple to offer prayers to the "Tai Sui" on Thursday after NeuNeu's work ended in the morning around 6am. becoz i was still sleeping, he went to the market with mommy n returned with breakfast for me. i'm still recovering from the sleep deficiency after the first 3 days of the lunar new year.

ya right.

i always liked visiting during chinese new year. the eating, chattering n getting together. but eversince my grandma passed away, there hasn't been much gatherings back in the familiar little fishing village. not to mention that it's almost impossible to celebrate with the entire family becoz they're either overseas n there's simply too many of them to gather (my gramps have 12 children n each child has an average of 3 kids, of which some already have their own kids. that probably adds up to like a whooping figure of 60-odd members in my family.) fortunately, i did manage to catch up with some of them this year. NeuNeu brought me to a couple of family gatherings as well n it was really nice to see a tiny flat warmed up with endless chattering by the many members of the family.

i really miss new year at my gramps.

on a different note altogether. Melis returned from the States for a short visit last week. managed to catch up with her n the guys on Friday night at Bedok Blk 85. the food wasn't good n we broke into many uncomfortable silences. guess it's really been quite awhile since we've all met up. Ping initiated a karaoke session, but it's a pity i couldn't attend as i had to rush over to my aunt's place with NeuNeu coz mommy wanted us to accompany her, plus Melis had to be home to pack for her flight on Sunday morning.

so i was back at my aunt's with NeuNeu gambling till late night before walking home with mommy. before we know it, we had to wake up to meet Jay n Alecia for a movie in Suntec City. we were terribly late n reached around 12noon instead of 11am, as agreed with Jay. well, the movie started only at 1pm. anyway n we had to queue for like 45minutes to get the tickets from the reception (oh, it was sponsored by SPCG so the rest of the SPCG folks were there as well) did i mention that we got free nachos, popcorn, drinks n chocs too? yeah, we did.

the final program for the week was.. well, u've guessed it.. gambling again. this time at NeuNeu godma's house. but not before we queued for the lottery at the renowned betting station nearby. NeuNeu is lying when he claims he doesn't gamble. even mommy sniggers everytime he says that.

most importantly, the last note of the day.. yes, NeuNeu fell asleep in the cinema AGAIN!!!
