Lunar New Year Day 2

      .Monday, February 15, 2010]]__x
It is the second day of lunar new year. In the morning, I woke up and did last minute work for WA! Geor and I were rushing and rushing. Then char came online at 11.45am and she started rushing with us. Any other people who talk to me, I told them to talk to me after 12pm. Haha!
At 12pm, there is an alarm! Guess what, it is total defence day!!! =) During my time in secondary school, I always fall sick on total defence day. Maybe valentine’s day is a too sweet day for me such that I will get fever at night. Ok, that is dumb. But yes, I’ve never had the green bean soup in school before. Haha!
When the alarm came about, I know it is the end of WA 3 and I decided to go around to wish everyone, “Happy Total Defence Day”. That is so random. I did not wish anyone happy lunar new year but I wish everyone happy total defence day. Haha!
In the afternoon, I am busy watching television programme, high school musical and ratatouille. Ah~ I wonder who did I watch ratatouille with. Hmm! I don’t remember. Never mind about that. Haha! After watching ratatouille, I went to disturb my niece and nephew who are sleeping. Then I went to bathe.
As usual, I spent about 1 hour plus preparing to get out of the house. I ate my dinner super early today. I had chicken rice and the super nice nor-hiang made by my aunty. My aunt’s handmade nor-hiang is fat full of ingredients inside. And they have many water chestnut so the crunchiness is there. Yummy! Totally love it!
After all the preparation, finally, xiao pang is willing to play with me. So I shall satisfy geor with xiao pang. She told me webcam xiao pang. I didn’t see her online so I called her and she came online immediately! Haha! My sister was like “small boy make friend online already. Still webcam some more.” LOL!
After webcam-ing, I continue to prepare and headed out at 7.30pm. I am late! I met up with FREDDIE (geor named it). We met up, initially we are going out yesterday instead of today, in the end, we went out today. I wanted to go the hong bao river while freddie wanted to go sentosa to see light (which is impossible because there are so many people). Then freddie suggested for ice cream session. In the end, we went to hong bao river due to some reason.
We took train down to douby ghaut and take bus down to esplanade area. There are so many people. We went there and start taking pictures and more pictures.
Look at the number of people. It is so crowded!!! OMG!
You will see a peacock (in the centre of the picture) along the road from flyer to esplanade. It is a really pretty peacock. And of course, you will be welcomed by a boy and girl bian nian (bottom left corner 2 photos). However, that is for the cars with pass only. Along the way, you will see some random figuring (top left 3 photos). I have no idea why.
From the pathway, you will be able to see some decoration along the river between the floating platform and the pathway.
These are the decoration seen displayed on the platform. When you cross the bridge in the middle, you will be welcomed by the cai shen ye (left top). The dragon and peacock (right 2nd row) is made from spoons and sauce tray. OMG de cool! =)
Top left, clockwise: mouse, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, pig
Besides the decoration named above, there are decoration of the 12 cheap-cost zodiac animals. It is not realistic at all! Imagine pig with black spots. You have HOT PINK mouse. The rabbit looks like the mouse. The monkey whose head is like 1/4 of the body. The roster who is bigger than the house. And a dalmatian dog. Failure!
After walking along the platform, we went to look at the stores. There is this sotre which sells really cute panda stuff toy. There is also some candy drawing store which sells that little mai ya tang drawn into animal like butterfly and all at $4. There is also some clay making guy who make really realistic clay figuring. And of course, a shop which engrave your name onto a rice bits and put it into a bottle for $15-$20.
Then we decided to head home at 9 plus pm. We were waiting for bus at the bus stop. The irritating thing is, there is this whole group of other country people who speaks chinese. They are waiting for the same bus as I am. They saw the bus at the far back and started “calculating” where will it stop. So the whole group of them ‘camp’ at that spot. When the bus come, they just kept following the bus TIGHTLY!
The door open, and guess what, they just RUSH up the bus. They even push some old aunty away. A whole bunch of guys rushing up the bus for seats. I am standing there, in front of the bus and they just squeeze and push. So inconsiderate. When part of them got up the bus, they just went all the way to the back and ‘book’ space. When you want to sit, they say “sorry, taken”. So damn turn off by their actions.
I doze off while sitting on the bus. I am really tired and bored. Soon, it reaches toa payoh. I got down the bus and went to take 235 home. When I reach home, my mother is like asking me, “why are you home so early?” Judging from the fact that I went out at 7.30pm and home at 10.15pm, it is really early.
Then char was looking for me. So I chatted with her and she showed me something.
Can you believe, she made all the roses herself! No doubt is origami queen! Well, because I am the last to reply which colour I want, most of the colours are gone (jing and geor picked their pick earlier)! The blue and lilac is totally PRETTY! I was so tempted to pick black though. Haha! Cool~
She was still trying how to fold the roses 2 days ago and all she got is kiam cai paper. In the end, imagine after 1 day, she manage to get all these! OMG! Origami queen!!! The roses are cute and pretty! =)
I was so sleepy when talking to char. By default, I am already very sleepy! When char showed me the roses, it waken me up by a little. Soon, the battery ran out and I am in KO mode again. Haha!
Seriously, I think I wasted my time going out today. It wasn’t that enjoyable at all. I spent 1 hour plus preparing, 1 hour plus bathing and waiting for hair to dry when I reach home. In the end, I only went out for 2 hours. How pathetic! The amount of time taken to bathe, prepare and aftermath is more than the time taken to go out. Waste time! Plus there are some really unhappy incident. So yes, give up!
Never mind! Ok, another picture of what I wear.
Ruched Front Tube Skorty Romper from Holly Hoque. While my sister wore Grecian Chiffon Dress from Agneselle. Finally I wore the romper out. However, I feel so nake at the top so in the end, I find a shawl alike to wear over. I look super fat in the romper. Damn! My sister wore the dress to bai nian at jie fu’s place. So we decided to take a photo together =)
P.S. I feel so fat and dark standing next to my sister! =(
