2nd day of Chinese New Year: crashing guama’s place~
This is the time everyone gathers at guama’s house for lunch. More lou ak, steamed chicken, curry and steamboat. XDXDXD We trashed guama’s place (as we do every year) but the obvious difference this time was that we helped with the cleaning up =D Cousins all had this classic Chinese tops (tsing’s one really made him look old; he even had the old man act going~) which resulted in added novelty. XP Eat, drink, chat, laugh, eat some more (guama will never let us get away with it) and watch TV until our eyes nearly popped out of our heads. Stayed there for the entire afternoon, which I’m sure guama was especially pleased =D She rarely has us all commune at her place for such long periods of time. Weiwei had special attention too; ‘Every time we come over, guama’s just waiting for the chance to pounce on him,’ or so ah yee says. I see the truth in those words XP My mom too, actually. Must have been that long since she’s held a baby…
Visited Uncle Michael after we left guama’s. This was the only visit for the day, but I felt so tired from jumping at guama’s that I really slept off. XP It’s rude, I know, but the aircond at his place was sooo nice, and the sofas were just tempting us, not to mention that he and dad were talking about something to do with gasohol or some kind of energy production using sugars from plants… which really lulled me and ti to sleep. And in this manner, an hour and a half just flew by like that.
Later, had dinner with Uncle Hoe Sing and family…I still found it kind of awkward to talk to them – what could we possibly talk about? Not referring to the age gap though, it’s not that far; I think Jeremy’s about 22 and Elaine is what…24? I have no idea. *shrugs* And yeah, if anything, Jeremy agrees that National Service in Singapore makes the guys grow up XP There you have it, right from the horse’s mouth. Heheheh.
