may a very prosperous new year begin (if it has not already begun) to one and all. umm, big big business, money come in, good luck...la di da. you know the drill. oh yeah, good health too.
which is why we started out with a family reunion dinner (dad's side) at the good ol' restaurant that none of my parents know including myself, which is why we call it 'len sen shop'. just like we have another good eating place called 'first shop' which is rightfully named because it's the first shop in a row of shop houses. so there.
calm before the storm

what we had (pls translate for me)

food food food good good good

and with that concludes CNY eve dinner. moving on the gong-xi-gong-xi day itself...
slept at 2.30am woke up at 9am to head over to grandma's place. fcking sleepy.
had lasagna and steamed vege mostly. cause it was gooooooood.


i can proudly say i know only 40% of the people in the 2 pictures above. the rest, i don't even know. if you're in the pic and you are the ones i don't know, don't feel bad. cause i really don't know you!
this would probably be the most interesting pic of all, the guy in the pic is mr/uncle latif...er sorry, Datuk Latif. he's the personal physician of the Sultan of Brunei! what up G! hahah. didn't talk to him, cause again, i don't know him and i don't really care.

oh yeah, and the most interesting thing a single person has said to me today at lunch was this:
(everyone's leaving now)
hippy-looking-uncle(HLU): see you ah tong, congrats on getting married (shakes hand)
uncle tong: thanks, see you tonight (shakes hand)
(HLU looks at me while shaking uncle tong's hand and says)
HLU: wah, he's got big hands eh, hope his wife has got big tits for him to grab!
me: o_O"...-_-" WtF? erm...ok....*snigger snigger chuckles to himself*
(they stop shaking hands, uncle tong also in a daze)
so yeah, the most 'WTF' moment of the day.
GONG XI FA CAI to all you pigs!!!
