fifth day of new year

hey tooties...

the chinese new year has been a really fruitful and enjoyable one to me. It's also a time where all the cousins get together as a whole and catch up with one another after not meeting for so long. Espeially the cousins on the maternal side. I have not been seeing them as often as my sister due to the competitions and trainings. Miss the gatherings due to trainings and competitions and all but it was nice to gather again and play games together. We managed to bond with one another and enjoyed one another's company and presence. the fun seems to have come to an end now as there has been lesser people coming to my house to "bai nian".

my family decided to buy the "yu sheng" which we cantonese call it " lou hei ". we had all gathered around the table and prepared to do the " lou hei " as a family. the atmosphere was the best of all because it was a situation whereby we shout and verbalise all forms of prosperous words and while in process of the " lou hei " and my siblings and I were having fun because I started to put the things on my sister's hand and my brother then followed suit. hahaha...
my sister then tried to put on myhand but she went overshot and it landed on my grandmother's hand and onto the table. My mum den said, " jialat , lou dao man di dou shi ". haha.. the way she said it made my sister and I laugh non-stop.

overall, today was quite alright for me but the trying of uniform kind of turns me away from working there anymore. whaha

chinese new year

hey tooties...

the festive season that most chinese have been long awaiting for has finally came and it is the day where we receive givings and red packets from the elderly people and where we would feast on delicious-yummylicious food cooked by my relatives.

on every first day of the new year, my family would always set off to visit my relatives first which is my grandfather's brother, somewhere in commonwealth and then to my grandmother's house located in ghim moh. this year, there was a slight change in plans where we went to my youngest auntie's house first, then to the second eldest which was a pit-stop for lunch and then lastly to my maternal grandparents place. it was a time of catching up and enjoyment amongst all the cousins whereby we enjoy ourselves by engaging in a time of joy and excitement. we played the game "ooga" which resulted in the chaos happening. the party game made everyone look funny though it was a brainless game. we then proceeded on with another game while the adults were busy with the karaoke session in the living room. the main purpose of the games were to keep the young adults and kids occupied instead of falling asleep due to the boredom engulfing us.

after the enjoyment, we left and proceeded to the coffeeshop opposite my house for dinner where we feasted on the finger licking good food. yumyum
after dinner, we headed back to my house and of course once again started playing another game which was "ticket to ride" wherey we have to strategise on the best route and score as many points as possible by building the correct routes and completing the allocated routes.

think this new year season would result in me putting more weight.chinese new year is an occasion whereby we eat and eat and eat non-stop.
guess I'll have to start gym-ing when I return back to school to lose some calories.hahahaha

that's all for today. I have to go off already and prepare for tomorrow where many people would be coming over. another day of feasting and enjoyment.!

chinese new year eve

hey tooties...

It's the chinese new year eve today. Woke up in the morning, finding the house very busy as I had woken up late cos I'm too tired from the previous night. Left east coast park around 11 and found that it was too late for me to hop onto the last train and so I decided to take a bus with sponge all the way to clementi. Luckily, Ihad sponge who lives somewhere near the west. I took the bus with him and alighted at clementi. Then I had my dad to come fetch me from there which I reached home around 12.45.

The eve of chinese new year is quite boring as I had nothing much to do but to slack it away. After that, I had decided to make some jelly goodies to treat people who will be coming to my house for visiting during the new year season. After the jelly making, played around with my stick for a while and then took a shower to prepare for the reunion dinner. Had a rather sumptious meal prepared by my mum but before that, while waiting My siblings and I had played a bit of the board games before indulging ourselves in the saliva-dripping meal. That was all for the eve of chinese new year.Think I have to help prepare for the day of Chinese New Year later before the clock strikes mid-night and have some kind of enjoyment later.

Wish all of you a Very Happy Chinese New Year and a fruitful year ahead!

hey tooties...

It's been long since I last updated my blog and this is a month after the last entry. This is going to be a long long entry so please bear with it. Read on if you are able to take it.hahaha=P

A short update about the soccer friendly we had with the soccer girls and the results at the end of the match was satisfying. We obtained a 3-3 draw against them and we are of course very satisfied with the results because we as floorballers have no basic idea about soccer and seemed to start from basics on that day itself. Instead of using the soccer techniques which the soccer girls have, we made use of strategies and used appropriately and that was how we scored all 3 goals. The soccer girls are no gentle people!! hahaha. Guess that's about it for soccer.

Moving on, I'm going to talk about the celebration and advanced celebration of alfee and iylie's birthday. I'd started the day off with awakening early in the morning at around 8.30 due ti the fact that the kindergarten kids are practising and rehearsing the CNY songs they are going to sing upon the arrivl of the guest of honour. Was tired but couldn't get to sleep as the song has been rooted deeply in my head that it keeps playing in my head, refraining me from getting back to sleep. Tried and tried and managed to get another hour of sleep but was awoke again as the real event has commenced. Woke up and prepared myself to go to vivo-city for job hunt but had to abolish the idea as my brother had wanted me to accompany him to town to get some board games to keep my cousins and I company during the Chinese New Year season. After spending about $200 at the shop, I went to meet the rest and headed down to east coast park for the celebration. It was a successful and from there did I get hooked to PSP. I'm so going to get it after the cny.

Can't wait to get hold of it... Can somebody sponsor me?=P

Adroit Darlings

hey tooties...

I'm here to update again. Apologies for not updating regularly, probably because I have not been able to sit down and think of what to blog down and maybe have nothing much to talk about. haha..
Anyways, this blog is speially dedicated to my Adroit darlings. As since tomorrow I would not be able to play for the team in the league game against the Pasirians, I hope that all of you would put in your all and win the game. I have faith and confidence in all of you that this game is ours for sure and we have a high chance of succeeding. We can prove ourselves right tomorrow.

First of all, I would like to talk about meiwen. I hope that the flu bug that has been loitering around her these few days to go away and allow her the strength to concentrate during the game. *no worries, I'm sure you will score 1 goal tomorrow*.
Next will be Jacelyn. Likewise, the flu bug has been loitering around her these few days. It's been following her for one week already. Hopefully, this bug would leave her body so that she can rest and prepare well for the game. * no worries, I'm pretty sure you can perform well on court and score a goal*
Coming up next is Duck. You have got a sprained inner knee but Im pretty sure that you are recuperating well. You have also been tempted to play floorball after not being able to play for the past week and you said that you want to play this coming match against Pasirians. I doubt so because they are very rough and inhumane people. hahaha=D * no worries, I'm sure that you will get to play in the other matches. Focus on getting better and you will get to play soon. -recover soon-*
Lastly, this is for all the Adroit Darlings. All of you have been working so hard during trainings and have been improving constantly. I'm sure that tomorrow is your day to show your potential and prove the team right. I have confidence that we will do good in tomorrow's game and redeem ourselves. I may not be there to play physially but i WILL support all of you from where I am=)

* All of you will get a chance to score in tomorrow's game*
