Just another quick short update about my chinese new year so far. The usual routine as always. Woke up the first day of chinese new year and went straight to grandma's house for breakfast. Oh god... her food is to die for!
Us single non-married teenagers and children waited anxiously for ur red packets of ang paus from the adults. After the delicious and luscious breakfast, my cousins, aunties, uncles and I gambled. We payed Black Jack with the poker cards. I managed to nabbed about Rm12!!! woohoo!
Before we know it, it was time for lunch. After lunch, my cousins and I went to 1U to watch Homecoming. And man! People these days sure don't leave PJ anymore as they do it the previous years. 1U was jam packed with people! They were all congregating at the cinema and the lane was snake like longer than public holidays. Fortunately, we managed to grab the last few tickets for Homecoming. That show was sure entertaining. We went back to grandma's house after the movie and ate dinner. Yes, I didn't shower the entire day until I went back.
And 2nd day of chinese new year was the same. Woke up, ate breakfast at grandma's house again. The roaring lion came into the house and perform. The little kids were all angst when they were waiting for the lion to come. When the lion arrived, they stared at the performance with glee in their eyes and saccharin smiles. My little cousin hit the lion's ass X)
Then, we went to visit our relatives. We only went to one relative house this year. After the visit, we went back to grandma's house and gamble some more. We gambled with jimramie this time. I lost to my cousin!!! We ended the game around 5.20p.m and went back. I got a chance to drive my cousin's car for the FIRST time :D We went for dinner at Unique.

Yummy veggie~
Prawns
Fish, Sorry. I completely forgot to take a picture before everyone ate it :'(
Same with the rice
Some mee with scallops
some sago dessert
and of course more desserts! There was shark fin soup as well, unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of that as well
The ambiance there was so lively, jubilant and euphoria. There was a karaoke set and my aunties sang their hearts out to some of the oldies song. Even my grandma sang a song!!! She sang, yuan liang dai biao wo de xing. My cousins and I enjoyed singing a good few songs of our own. Mostly emo and depressing songs, for some unknown reasons. The little ones enjoyed themselves with chinese new year songs. And we -or I- managed to take a good few pictures. Hmm, maybe that's why I forgot to take some of the pictures...
My cousins :D
Thought I find her annoying, she's still cute
The night ended with me following my cousin back to grandma's house where we gambled some more with Jimramie. I'm currently feeling crestfallen as I lost the money that I won the day before... Urgh, life's unfair.
