25/01/09 Busy day & Reunion Dinner day

Had to wake up at 9am to help out with household chores >.< Then went to help my aunt and dad buy 4d.. As today was sunday, it was a long long queue. I had to wait 30mins till i can buy. Then i went to buy some joss papers. As i was walking home, i suddenly feel that something was not right. I had bought next wed's 4d instead of today's! I was like OMG! I had to requeue and buy the numbers again.. And the queue this time was longer than the previous one. T_T After finally spending my own pocket money to rebuy the numbers i began walking home AGAIN.

As i was just a road away from my home, i was in OMG situation again.. I had forgotten to buy red stickers which my aunt had asked me to buy earlier on for tonight's praying. So here i go again, for the third time i walk to the market and buy the stickers. SO, i walked home with my mind thinking, is there anything i forget again? come'on think think think!!!

After i got home and took a break i had to go temple to pay respect to my uncle. Took a cab there with my dad as he wanted to tag along. As it was eve of Chinese New Year, the temple was flooded with worshippers. But luckily there was a space for us and we finished the praying quite fast.

After taking a little noon nap, it was time for the reunion dinner. As my 1st aunt and her family will be coming at around 9pm, my family started 1st. But to my sadness, my aunt had forgotten to buy quail's egg for the steamboat/bbq. :'(
But there were still cod fish, salmon and others. =p

When it was 9pm, my cousins all came and the atmosphere in the house liven up ^_^. They had their share of reunion dinner before gathering in front of the television to watch 'Kung Fu' starring stephen chow. They watched till 11pm before all leaving for their home. I had to stayed up late as there was another praying to be done at home at midnight.

So i took a shower and put on new clothes for praying purpose. After the praying was done at around 3.40am i stayed up till 5am+. Luckily Edith and Huiwen wasn't asleep yet so we had a conference chat. Edith couldn't tahan till 4am+ and headed to bed 1st. Even Christie came online at 4am+. Think everyone is too excited about getting ang baos in the new year. Well i had to stay at home for the 2 days of new year due to some 不能说的秘密. LOL =p

Hope everyone have a great new year and collect a lot of ang baos ^__^
Hereby passing a quarter of a century in my life lol =p

PEACE~
