Heliuz! Happy Chinese New Year to everyone who reads my blog! =D Hmmmmz... This year's CNY seems to be better than last year's even though if only realised that CNY was coming 1 week before... haha... and I hoped that you guys will have a great time during the Chinese New Year period… heez… anyway, here it goes.
Chinese New Year Eve
I went back to school on Chinese New Year eve for 2 purposes. One was to discuss the choir concert name with the committee and the second one was to meet up with my ex classmates and teachers! Yea! As usual, the choir committee got nothing done despite being there for around 2 hours but we had postponed it to tomorrow when we visit Mrs. Choy at her house. I met some of my old classmates that day. A lot of catching up was done. We talked a lot and listened to stories about their JC life so far. It was so funnnn!
After that, Joel, Ching Si, Yong Xiang and I went to Hougang Mall to have our lunch but it turned out that the food court was close and Mac Donalds and KFC were very packed. So Joel, Ching Si and I decided to make our way to Compass point to meet Nikki and gang at Yabbe. At Yabbe, we talked a lot and joked a lot. Haha… It was so fun and I enjoyed myself there. I was laughing so madly there but luckily not many people were around. I saw a Nativity church choir member there… don’t think he remembers me… haha…
Joel and Jonathan had to go off after lunch to meet their mother so Nikki, Jason and I walked around Compass point while Ching Si headed home. As usual, we joked around wherever we go. Haha… I had to leave at 2.45pm because I need to go to my grandmother’s house to have my reunion dinner and to give tuition to my cousin. My cousin and I were both so tired that we did not complete much in the end… haha… She played a stupid trick on me that day, sending a sms to my friend saying something very _____________. Haha… I threatened her that day, ha!
I went to my aunty’s room after my dinner and had many thoughts. I remembered how I used to play with my other cousins at my grandma’s house when I was young. Now everyone had grown up, having their own families, own lives. So fast…
I went home after that to do some work at home. I went online and counted down with my friend… haha… and everyone seemed to be so happy! Yea!!
Chinese New Year Day 1
I woke up at 11 am today, feeling so excited yet nervous. My first destination was to go to my Grandma’s (My father’s mother) house to visit. Nervous because I am not at all close to my father’s side except for 2 cousins whom I am giving tuition to currently. Everyone whom I used to play with when I was young seemed so hostile towards one another. Anyway, my whole stay there was quite boring and all I did was either to read my A level biology guide book or to talk to my cousins (the ones that I am close to… haha…)
At around 4pm, I left my grandmother’s house and headed towards my aunt’s house (My mother’s side). I am closer to my mother’s side because I don’t know why… Ha! Anyway, everyone looked so sad when I was there. I was totally bored there, more bored than I was in my grandmother’s house. I was wondering what is going on? My elder cousins and aunties were playing mah jong while my other cousins were sitting around a table full of new year goodies, munching away. I joined them, but they were so quiet… Hmmmmz…. At night, when all the mah jong playing stops, everyone gathered around and started to play poker. I did not join in because it’s sinful to gamble… heez… anyway, they seemed to have so much fun. That’s much better. I went home first because I was so tired anyway I would be seeing them the next day again.
Chinese New Year Day 2
I woke up at 12.45 today and finished praying at 1.30pm. Today, all my relatives from my mother’s side will be coming to my house! YEA! By the time I left my room, my third uncle and family had arrived. So I went to bathe immediately so that I will feel and look more refreshed. Slowly, one family by one family came to my house and it started to get crowded. My cousins took turns to use the computer while I went round serving people with BBQ pork and Kueh Lapis. I became the servant of the day. Hahaha… but it’s alright. My cousins and my aunt then went out to watch 2 shows on VCD, Shaolin Soccer and Home run. While they were at that, I stayed in my room and chat online… haha… There were 2 groups playing mah jong at the same time. Soon, night came and everyone played poker and lazed around after dinner. There was the usual curry (my mother’s best dish) and a few others. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves. So happy for them. All my relatives left at 10 pm after one and a half hours of poker. Haha… There goes day 2 of CNY.
Chinese New Year Day 3
Today… I will be going to my third aunt’s house. I dunno what is going to happen there but hope I will not be bored again. Ha! I will be going to Mrs Choy’s house tomorrow… heez… that’s all… I really hope my friends had enjoyed themselves!
"Must stretch every dollar and make full use of it... "
hahahaha... dun ask... haha

Hi people!!! haha... so long nver see me update my blog already rite? very very very very very very very very long time already horz? Yea... why didn't i update my blog? because i am lazy to update, and i have nothing to say... why have i decided to update it today? because many ppl had asked me this qn... "You never update your blog arhz?" Haha...
Before the year 2004.
The remaining 12 days before the new year had not been very eventful. The choir went to the Thu Ja home on the 22nd of December to perform to the homeless destitutes there. They were all so happy when we visited them. The choir members somehow enjoyed themselves that day.
My cousins came to stay over at my house on Christmas eve and we counted down to Christmas. Before that, i went to Nativity church supposedly to listen to the church choir sing, but ended up meeting my friend. We did some catching up and he gave me a christmas present. So sweet! =D heez... I gave him his Christmas present a long time ago. He is the third friend, close and special one, who gave me a present. heez. Anyway, went home after that to count down with my cousins. Nothing special actually.
Christmas day. My mum’s birthday. I celebrated her birthday in the morning until late afternoon. Spent my time playing MSN games with Aloy… haha… then rushed down to Joel’s house to celebrate Christmas. It was so fun there. We were chit chatting and we made so many jokes. I was laughing throughout my stay there. The food there was great too! I love Joel’s apple pie! IT’S DELICIOUS!!! Way to go Joel! =) I had to leave early because I wanted to return home to continue to celebrate my mum’s birthday, but when I got home, almost all my relatives had left. So I became bored at home, with nothing to do. I ended up calling my friend and we talked from 12.30am to almost 2am… haha… As usual, I was laughing and laughing again. So my Christmas is not entirely boring as it was brighten up by fun and laughter from my friends. My mother enjoyed herself too… I guessed…
The rest of the days after Christmas was quite boring with nothing to do. On the 29th of December, I went to the Meridian Revelry, a concert by both the Meridian Junior College Choir and Band. The concert was FANTASTIC! They did very well despite the fact that they are new. The band did well and with their wonderfully lively repertoire, I was enjoying myself throughout the Band’s first half of the concert. The band played Concerto D’amore, a very popular piece played by my school band. Haha… they did that quite ok though, I feel that my school band did that better than them but the tone is of course better than my school band. The choir part of the concert was EXCELLENTLY FANTASTIC!!! They sang so well! I was entranced by their performance, especially by the Male Chorus. A small group of people can produce such nice harmony and they sang so loudly without the help of microphones! That is so much better than my school choir. But then again, I cannot compare my school choir with them. They sang our SYF piece, visiting spring. It was done so much better than our school choir… sigh… how I wish I can join their choir… how I wish I am good enough to join them…
On New Year’s Eve, I stayed at home and count down with my friends online! So fun!
The New Year! 2004!
On New Year Day, I went to Compass Point with my friends to eat and talk and to see them do their homework. HAHA! I have no homework to do! Hearing them talking about how 2003 had been for them and lamenting about school reopening so soon.
I went back to school when school reopened. Went to help out with the Sec 1 orientation camp even though I am not a councilor… haha… Stayed over in school. I enjoyed myself there. Talked a lot to my friends and surprisingly I did not sleep at all through the night. But then, it’s okay because I feel so awake through the camp. Didn’t feel like sleeping at all. But I still have to give tuition the next day. So I went home in the morning to catch some sleep.
Practically, I have been going back to school almost everyday to help the choir (even though the only thing I did was to help them sing.) Not only the choir but to kill time there. I actually sit at the gallery yesterday, helping my friend with his rhythm for his assessment and also to hear another one of my friend play his saxophone, his assessment piece. Haha… I will be going back to school again tomorrow since there is choir practice tomorrow.
Watch out for the Montfort Chorale! Making it’s debut on the 2nd of April at CHIJMES Hall!
