Proud as a chinese

Happy chinese new year (eve) to all of you loved by me! To those that I hate, please have a shiteous year of the ox, tyvm.

Thursday

There was health checkup so we didn't have to do zuowen! Damn happy so we were all fooling around, having the time of our lives:

I had to put this up because jingf looks so happy.

Friday

Huichun was suprisingly fun and we quickly get it over and done with and went to play. I seriously am in love with 411'09! After the horribly cliched CNY celebration, I went back to Rulang. Pathetic, it was only me and Yulin. Absence make the heart grow fonder. I miss miss miss Yulin so much my heart ached. BFFs! Oh and pls pls come to HCJC, then we can be together! Chatted for hours, non stop. I ate a lot and felt incredibly guilty because Yulin ate like 1/4 of what I ate.

Saturday
I attempted to finish holiday homework, halfway through feeling really fucked up in the ass. Come on, it's HOLIDAYS! However, I enjoyed doing ISL.1 though. Then went to get CNY supplies (pineapple tarts and love letters!) and ate dinner outside. O: *YAWN*

Sunday/Today
Semi reunion lunch @ my granny's house. She's the only woman alive capable of making veggies taste awesome, I swear. Semi because only my family turned up which is quite sad. And judging by the angbao money I am receive, the economic downturn really fucked asses. Please please, I need money! Hopefully better luck tmrw when I put on my hypocritical smiley face and start saying happy chinese new year to relatives in a sickeningly sweet voice. Urgh.

Oh and I shall resist new year goodies. But I'm eating steamboat later, yummy!

When the rain starts to pour

Class party was first. There was food, beverages and music, fun and games but it could have been a crazier party, bigger and better too. We should really stop playing games like Whacko or murderer. Those are so... primary school.

After that, we went to the hall for celebration. We went too late and ended up sitting at the back, which sucks as it was so freaking stuffy. To make matters worse, there was this gigantic pillar in front, blocking our view of the stage. Way to go.

During the celebration, we were cheering and screaming like a bunch of crazies, mostly for Mr E. Tan. The sad thing was, Mr Tan didn't win a single award, which is really really disappointing because I was totally rooting for him. Our teachers made this whole celebration really really crazy. I have no idea! I got the impression from somewhere that all teachers were geeks. Celebrations ended and like always with everyone pushing and squeezing out of the hall, sticky and a little haggard.

After dismissal, I went back to Rulang to meet up with my 6R lovelies.

I saw lifesized people hanging around in my primary school.

The nine of us (Dan, Linwen, Steph, Yimeng, Yulin, LC and Yingx) went off to JEC for lunch. My long awaited pizza hut meal! Yeah, there was a really long queue and some of them got impatient and went off to the food court for their feast. It was definitely worth the wait although only Dan, Linwen and I ate together.

Yes, we were having laughing fits and telling silly jokes. Although we haven't seen each other for more than 6 months, I don't feel the least bit uncomfortable talking to them. That's the magic of true friendship.

HAHA, and I prankcalled ERIC TAN!

No, not the Cambodia one. Yulin's form teacher is also called Eric Tan!!! O: And apparently, many Nanhua girls are in looooooove with him. And then Linwen suggested board games so we played monopoly!

I was having the time of my life. Everything was just simply heavenly, feels like the period of time after PSLE. We didn't have a care in the world, we didn't bother about stupid bitches or disgusting jerks. We were just like kids. Having fun together, enjoying and appreciating each other's company.

So I shall say again,
THANKS YOU GUYS FOR MAKING MY DAY! LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH!

New Year's Eve this year was basically:

珲春
Otherwise known as writing words you don't understand using brushes and then tossing it away.
Celebration in school (Boring)
The so called concert was uninteresting and cliche. Dances, songs, instruments, exchanged mandarin oranges. It was just doing what we had to so for the sake of doing it though I can't really help being stuck in restricted and uncreative Singapore.

Meetup (Finally!)

My girls decided to go hang out at Shan Jee's house. I had to rush home for the ridiculous reunion lunch before jackrabbiting over. It turned out I didn't really need to stuff my bowl of rice down my throat. Pizza and drumsticks were fingerlicking good. After we were done, we went down to the bowling alley to play. Long nails were never a good idea when it comes to bowling. I broke two but nonetheless, bowling is amazing fun.

Tthe remaining time were spent reminiscing about old times on the comfy couches. One word to describe that perfect afternoon: LOVE. I haven't had that much fun in such a long while. Nice.

xoxo,
