Chinese New Year!

I always love Chinese New Year. I love the bright red decorations everywhere. I love the red packets that comes in all shapes, sizes and the designs on it are creative. I love the feeling of meeting up with all my family members. Every year, my family and I would drive down to Batu Pahat, Johor. My mum has 4 sisters and 2 brothers. All of them will reunite once every year to celebrate CNY and spend some quality time doing things together. My dad family livis in KL. So, we can just drop by anytime we want. hehe.

Don't you just love to stare at the sky?

I love the clear blue sky with the classic coconut tree.

This year, there are more kids around the house. They would mess up the house with papers, colour pencils and food wrappers. All of them are girls and also one baby boy. I watched them play and laugh together. Sometimes, they might just end up crying for some teeney weeney thing. It reminds me of how my cousins and I used to be when we were younger.

I went to Batu Pahat Town for my usual Cendol store which is like dirt cheap and yet so ever delicious. Batu Pahat is nothing like KL. People there drive too slow. Well, not all but most. There are quite a number of shopping malls. I dunno much about it. I went out with my cousin, Yvjane and Keruey and also Elle to BP Mall for movie, Inkheart and bowling. It was alright. I watched Inkheart twice. Love that movie! Anyone who loves to red will definitely love it as much as I do.

I was hoping to get some bubble tea which is also dirt cheap compared to the price in KL. Too bad, most of the shops are closed. I visited my great grandparents and grandparents. It has been almost 5 years since the last time I went to visit them after my late grandmother passed away due to cancer about 5 years ago.

Like every other year, my uncle will host a big party/gathering at his crib. After my grandmother passed away, she left some properties to her dear children and it was shared equally. My uncle got the bungalow house and a few pieces of land and now the house belongs to him. Its not an ordinary bungalow house. It has a rambutan farm behind the house, a garden as big as 5 classrooms, a farm where he grows some chillies, fruits and vege, a huge parking lot which can fit like 7 cars or more and a medium sized fountain with a so called jacuzzi next to it. Nice eh? hehe.

Cars. Not so clear.

My uncle loves gardening. Flowers are everywhere. There are so many vases all around the house. The valuable ones. Oh! He has 2 dogs and a horn bill (It is illegal to keep one). ok la, nuff of that. I was at the party and wow I was enjoying myself. There are lotsa people from god knows where. My cousin, Kelvin and his girlfriend of 9 years, Sabrina came back from Germany and joined us this year.

Albert on the left and Kelvin on the right. Arm wrestling. Not in a proper way tho.

It was also Ellise and my another cousin, Louis's BIRTHDAY! They share the same birthday which falls on the 2nd day of CNY. We had secret recipe's chocolate strawberry cake. Scrumptious! I ate a lot and was forced to drink a can of beer after turning them down too many time. Finally, I gave in. Eeek! I don't really like beer. I prefer wine.

The birthday girl and boy!

chocolateeee!

See, how a cake can make all of us smileuntil it reaches our ears. XD

*pleased* oh, my lovely cake! I'm gonna eat you!

We don't look alike do we?

I tried Black Label's scotch whiskey for the first time. It felt great after one full glass. After my 4th glass, my head was spinning, my face was pinkish red, my face was so warm and I felt like I was gonna vomit. I was struggling to brush my teeth so that I could sleep. It was already 4 am. The Malay neighbour who lived next door were kinda pissed at us for karaoke-ing the whole morning. We were too loud and out of tune. wahahaha! drunk fellas.

I was already half drunk when I took this pic.

My 4th and lasy glass.

I quickly jump into bed as I could walk and stand straight. I slept so well that night. The next night, we had another party again. This time, we have more guests who come and go. More food and definitely more fun! We had fire crackers and fireworks. It wasn't as happening as last year but enough to satisfy our anticipation for the so called big bang to start off the year.

This is just the starters

This is the fireworls. I got a video of the fireworks. I'm lazy to upload it.

I received way too many msgs and calls. Thank you people!! I got lotsa ang-paus which I haven't open all of them yet. I don't really care how much I get this year, to be honest. Its not all about the money but the formality of the red packets itself. I love spending my time with people who knows how to appreciate my presence and my company.

engrossed!

Here are some other picture we camwhored!
