CNY 2006

With the Chinese New Year around the corner, my dad decided to renovate the house a little. I haven't been resting well lately. Waking up early in the morning to move stuff around the house, doing major spring cleaning at home. Well, at least that's good for me as I have got loads of stuff to clear. After the cleaning, my room seems so much neater, but empty.
Okay, considering that I am a messy person, this is quite neat already.
Yesterday, I went back to school to visit the teachers and to see my friends. Goodness, it has been such a long time since I saw them. Wei Joe, Vanessa, Samuel, Erwin and Jian Yong are now in ACJC, and when I saw them, they began filling me with information about ACJC. Like how cute the guys are there, how tough the PE is, how cool the facilities there are. They even have a sauna and steambath. Haha, I even heard that Vanessa goes to the swimming pool after school to check out the water polo players. After that, we went to SIM to have lunch. My god, I miss the chicken cream pasta SO much, to my disappointment, they sold out the chicken cream pasta. Damm, I MUST have it before leaving the country.
I went down to the lawyer's office to get my visa done and after that went shoppping for the house with my mum. These few days, I have been running errands for my mum. Doing a lot of shopping for the new year. I also tried my hands on pineapple tarts. They turned out not bad, but I did not let it cool enough thus it grew some fungus and I had to dump them. Bloody hell, wasted my whole afternoon.
Chinese New Year means collecting lots of ang pows, gathering with the family and catch up with each other. Not to mention, pineapple tarts, ba kwa, kueh bankit, love letters. Have to watch what I am stuffing into my mouth.
I got my new clothes two days ago. A black cheongsam with fuschia and lime green trimmings. Bought a pair of fuschia killer heels from lulu to match. The heels were such a steal. Got it at $84 after a 50% off. Heh, I can never resist a steal like that.
Enjoy the Chinese New Year and have a great year!
Gong Xi Fa Cai!
