Chinese New Year （除夕---初五）

Happy Chinese New Year! Gong Xi Fatt Cai!

Time flies! It's been 2 months since grad night. And you know what? A-level results are coming out in about half a month! I am starting to be worried now I think about it.

Anyway, this year's CNY was slightly different from previous years'. We actually spent 3D2N (CNY eve, 初一,初二) at the Pangkor Island! This was so not like my dad, who'd rather spend the day at home sleeping or watching TV during a holiday. Well I guess he had no choice but to follow since my aunt suggested it and it was an extended family thing. (And as expected, my dad started to rant after the trip about how not worth it were the meals, how expensive was the stuff etc etc ...... Not that he spent any money haha.) Not that we did a lot of activities there except playing in the sea, doing archery, kayak-ing and maybe walking along the beach trying to catch sight of exotic creatures, but it was considered fun la. It was, to me, a "once-in-a-lifetime" thing haha (this was the first time I stepped onto a Malaysian island after 20 years of being a Malaysian even though there are so many of them in Malaysia.)

After the trip, I visited my grandma in Taiping. Gambled and won RM 8 haha. Then I visited my coach, Mr Lim, together with some of the players whom I used to train with.

And on the 14th of February, the few of us of class of 2005 from Yuh Hua - Joon Keat, Klinsmann, Pui Kar, Yan Jun, Oi Yeng, Sook Nyan, Ai Ying and I - and Ren Cong went to visit Mrs Kiang. It's been years since I last saw her and I was really glad that she was in the pink of health. We reminisced our good old times in Yuh Hua as well as caught up with each other. It was really a good noon time spent.

After that, the few of us - Joon Keat, Klinsmann, Yan Jun, Oi Yeng, Sook Nyan and I - together with Klinsmann's brother, Nigel, and his friend went to watch "A Good Day to Die Hard". Now think about it, I remembered that I was quite close to Nigel when we were in lower primary. We used to share the same school bus I think, with a really fierce female driver. Then after he moved house, we never saw each other again until this day. Haha it's been around 11 years! This Valentine's Day is still a Foreveralone Day for me as usual, but at least I get to spend this awesome day with all these people who are my best childhood memories and who really made my day. :)
