My CNY

After more than 4 long days break (CNY = Chinese New Year)… am back to office again this morning. Doing what in office ? Nothing…. absolutely NOTHING… oop not really, I am keep myself busy with things on internet…. obviously blogging is one of the main action. emoticon

Want to find out how I spent my time during this long break ?  ok ok… I have to admit that the right word is I WASTE MY TIME instead of I spent my time. emoticon

Let start my story with new year eve… hehehe… work half day. Back to home after 3… the very hard working me washed both cars…. clean the floor… ooop… that’s all I did… hehehe…. no ironing, no cooking… by 7pm I am all ready for reunion dinner with family. This year we opt for something less tension (meaning not eating out which have to sit at restaurant for long wait to have the dinner serve) WE had the dinner at my younger brother home… steamboat.

 

I took this picture of Little Grace while waiting for my eldest brother arrive. She is the little precious I had put up her photos on blog since a baby. She is 26 mths old by now ! emoticon 

Back to home after 10pm… do you know what i did next ? emoticon  yes…  I beat monsters in my lovely Maple land…. I end my monsters killing fest at 2am….. managed to get my avantar up a level  emoticon

 

This is the picture of my character in Maple….   emoticon 

Morning of 1st New Year Day… breakfast with mum and Bro family… AGAIN !!! We opt for vegetarian. Gosh… a plate of simple fried noodle cost us RM 70 (US 20) The outlet were sucking our blood !  Decided to ban that restaurant for life !!!!!!! The next destination was gave my Dad a respect prayer at temple.

For the afternoon, I just stay at home and more Mapling ! hehehe  emoticon Oh ya, I also spent a few hours to catch up a few episodes of drama… by 4pm, I had to drag my heavy body out from my comfy sofa and began my 3hrs journey drive back to home town. I decided to atttend this year secondary school classmate gathering. (I have not show my face in such gathering for more than 5 years) Was a great meeting. Lot of similar handsome and pretty faces show up and more babies (oop… should be kids) jumping around. My friends really love producing human !  emoticon

I end my day with a very tough choice… I drove back to home after mid night… meaning another 250KM journey. Reached home after 3am… God damn tire… the old man body almost giveup… but it is a journey worth to perform !

2nd day…. nothing happen during day time. Work up before noon. Killing monster follow by some more DVD in my drama world. Evening dinner was something I am looking forward for, meeting my youngest sister family for dinner. I picked a few not so expensive restaurants but all not ready for business yet. We end up travelling 30KM for a seafoods outlet. Lucky us, great deal. Yummy dishes and happy moment.

3rd day, woke up and get a shock news. My sister and family already on the road.  (we suppose to have breakfast before they depart home) They had to rush back because her mother in law passed away. Now PROBLEM… this meaning we have to attend the funeral !  emoticon  I have no mood to do anything but rest on sofa and watched drama again… hehehehe… that is me… By 6pm, I am ready to pick up a special someone who back to his hometown long before new year. Time to end my few days singlehood.

Of cos I will not end my 3rd day chapter without mentioned of dinner right ? emoticon  A real Chinese like me love foods.. the focus of this night was on my eldest sister and her family. They dropby our city for a short 1 night gathering. Everybody was happy during the meeting (usually we were not… this year really fantastic) emoticon

Now come to the last day of my long holiday break. The last day which was yesterday.. Sunday !!!!  It suppose to be another hanging around doing nothing day but all changed because we have to attend the funeral awake.

Out on the highway after 8am with my younger brother. After 200KM distance, we jumped into my eldest brother car and carry on another 200KM journey. Reached there after mid noon. Spent 1hr company my sis and her husband than time for lunch. You know what ???????  My brother insist of having Duck rice (I hate duck !!! emoticon) but I put up with it… grrrrrrr….. by 5pm we back to the point which we left our car this morning. Now only me and my youngest brother… we began our very scary journey back to home (the balance 250km distance)

We anticipate a slow traffic somewhere along the way back. It is the last day of CNY break and all people in the country going to drive back to city for work on the next day. It is a yearly nightmare but if you want to visit your love one back at hometown, you have to face the challenge. How slow is the slow ??? Let me show you a picture I took with my handphone emoticon

 

The good news was I am not driving. We end up spend about 2 hrs on this part of the highway (about 10km lenght) Actually there were not accident or anything…. the traffice just slow. Home after 10. Had a quick dinner and what next a drama king will do ??? hehehehe… watch TV of cos…

Oh… this is the longer posting I have ever type so far…..  I sound excited right ? emoticon
