New Year Eve

Woke up late. Lazy morning online, stuff. So many pictures today, so more pictures, less words for you!


Salad. Went apeshit on the lettuce, topped with ham scraps and olives. No dressing, a healthy lunch! But all that was a wasted deal when it ended with an ice-cream, cookies, a mini cream-puff and more after the salad. I can't control my ravenous appetite! And oh noes, it's reunion dinner right next! Time to get ueberly fat!

Went to my aunt's place.


Reunion dinner! The staples of chicken and duck, soup, vegetables. New this year: coffee ribs and:


Wasabi prawns.


Minced meat mushrooms.


Aunt made yam cake like every year. I'm not too much into yam though, prefer plucking off the prawns and leaving the rest for my mum.

She has haw flakes at home! I like! They're these slices of red chewy candy, and it's easy to polish off 4 of these packs in a day the way I did. Not to mention, they cost really little!



There! A haw flake!

Was sorta half-drunk on port and red wine at my aunt's house. Trying to study + being half-drunk made me feel quite down. Sort of a bad trip kind of thing. And it wasn't helping that the family was being extra bitchy and all. Occupied myself messaging friends on my phone.

My dad's side of relatives has this 4-year old tradition of putting angpows with different amounts of money in them on the pussy-willow plant, then having everyone from young to old draw one and see if he or she gets lucky. I got $20, which was really quite nice. Thanks big aunt!

Reached home quite late. Feeling pretty messed-up with a raging throbbing headache after all that alcohol. Hung around online for a while, then to bed it is, before I sputter out.

Made a pact with Ryan to wake up at 7.30am tomorrow morning to exercise! Bike ride it is! I recall having had a nice bike ride last Chinese New Year day too. Let's make that a tradition, heh.
