Gong Xi Gong Xi
gong xi gong xi, gong xi gong xi....
reunion dinner was crowded with kids. ah bee and wen were here, and it created more conversation, more laughter, more ambience. However, my sista's family did not get their time arrange properly, and ended up pressing for more time in obviously shorter time frame.
im wondering, how do u guys split the reunion dinner between ur own parents' family and in-law's family? Do u always practise having dinner in 2 sessions, one-after-another in the same day? or have the dinner in 2 seperate days? It's tough to please both parties, but if we can make it to only one, isnt it more sensible to politely rearrange the other one? and enjoy with the one u've chosen?, but of course make it up the next yr? I noe its tough to compromise, after all, how many old folks can understand youngsters' situation now?
hai, its suppose to be a happy festival, but sometimes.....it gets the reverse effect.
anyway, livingstone and i finally get to see CNY's fireworks together. we proceeded to marina south open area after dinner and boy there were sooooo many cars along the road. at 1130pm, there was a family who was playing wit those 'stick-fireworks' , they lighted up the sticks and threw it onto the patch of grass in front of them, not long after, a fire broke out! the fire spreaded and the whole road was covered with thick smoke. The family went back to their car, pretended that they were not responsible for that. I guess somebody called the police, and the fire engine squad arrived to put out the then small fire. hai,.....some inconsiderate pple....
gonna visit my ah ma soon.....yeah, can wear new clothes, on chinese NEW yr.....heh heh....today is a smiling day... =)
