First day o new year!!gongxi gongxi!!woke up early in the morning to go to kor kor's hse at jurong east..hehe as usual..alot o ppl came later in the noon at ard 2plus...hmmm i rem when i was younger, it wasn't lidat..there were many many more ppl lor!!my 3-room flat can be so packed tat walking ard can be so difficult...hehe bt as years pass, there were much fewer ppl cumin every yr...perhaps all the younger generation were unfamiliar wif each other and thus aft they were married they no longer visit my grandma..also coz ey hafta gt their own family commitments la..it's quite sad...bt i guess tat's juz life...hehe

However, personally i feel this year the crowd was abit bigger in the evening..when all my cousins brot their kids here..it was much livelier wif kids ard...it's so good to see em..coz u onli get to see those distant cousins once every year..hehe new year's indeed a gd time for us to do some catching up..hehe

This year was also more special for mi as i introduced my bf to everyone..hehe it's the first time tat i brought my bf for new year's celebration..usually...i'm always being "questioned" where is my bf...n when m i bringin him over....blah blah blah...haha to mi...i always wanna my relationship to be more stable b4 bringin him over to see my grandma..this time round..i was able to hafta the chance to bring my bf over..n introduce him to everybody..dearie was good...he was able to get along...bt still maybe not tat well..coz e time tg was quite little...hehe maybe nxt time we can go to gatherings tg...en i'm sure ey can get along well wif my father's side relatives!!hehe

After the short introduction at my kor kor's hse..we en rushed down all the way frm jurong to amk to dearie's waipo's hse..hehe still thinkin tat my hse hafta alot o ppl during chinese new year..wait till i saw the number o ppl at his maternal side relatives..there were ALOT o ppl..the whole hse was packed with ppl..hmmm coz his wai po has got many many younger siblings thus so many ppl in the hse..hehe enjoyed meeting em esp dearie's waipo and wai-gong...ey were veri veri nice ppl to be wif..not to mention both o em can cook very well..heard tat today's dinner was cooked by his wai-gong...nice!! *applause* for the cooking...hehe thanks for introducing mi to ya big families..enjoyed mingling wif em and playing cards wif all ya "ah yees"...haha
