Obligatory Pre-CNY Post

Kung hei fatt choi one and all! Chinese New Year is here again :)

Today's going to be the reunion dinner, and mine's gonna be at Pines country club in town. Uber boring. I'd even rather they have it at home. Plus, this year's attendance is going to suck, because five people are going to be missing, making it a sad little table of ten and below. And Yi isn't around. Yi isn't around. *chimes* NO FUN. :(

So tonight's going to be boring, but heck just got to get it over and done with. These family things.

Now I'm waiting around for the Marcus to come by to pick me up for lunch. What was supposed to have been a pre-CNY date turned into a family outing when my mum decided to volunteer my dad and herself to join us. Left me no room to say no (just by virtue of asking it's bad enough innit) and then returned, oh if you don't want us to go it's okay you know (I know it's not okay). (rolls eyes)

As Neilly says, just make the best of it I guess. So I've also arranged for possible coffee plans after the lunch at Starbucks Siglap. Mmm.

I'm wearing a new tube top I bought with the BSMNY gang yesterday at Chinatown - Hsinj and me swooped into This Fashion, I grabbed this top in under five minutes and bought it without trying :) It's satiny, black, and has big florals covering it. I love it! If not for my headache, I would have certainly taken Cheryl up on that offer to go shopping in the Chinatown area after our dinner at Smith St. We'll go again soon okay babe?

Plans this week so far :

Sunday - Marc's place for annual gambling den festivities
Monday - probably stay home
Tuesday - night : dinner at Cheryl's
Wednesday - night : chionging with Lyd Ritz Joycey (it's still on right?)


Given that the lunar year of The Dog is ending, I have been pensive somewhat, thinking about what a year it has been, and how I'd like next year to be different. While CNY seems sort of tacky to believe in, I strongly see it as a second new start - another opportunity to begin afresh, and for things to go your way more.

If I don't get to shake your hand during this festive period for some reason, here's wishing you a Happy Chinese New Year - good health, love, peace and prosperity to us all!
