chinese new year

agnes was back this time:)
after an absence of 3 years

the usual stuff..
-cleaning the house [it was relatively calmer this year]
-reunion dinner where half the food is eaten during preparation time:) and when i could indulge in my favourite once-a-year abalone:) we grated out own yu-sheng veg ourselves again this year. its really fun stuff just very tiring.
-visiting of houses - my family has a very busy first day usually
-wearing a skirt to which all relatives would suddenly say you look really pretty

the not so usual stuff..
-me wearing a sleeveless top! it belonged to agnes and miraculously matched my skirt. for the record the last time i wore something like this [other than prom and related stuff] was when i was 11.
-a change in itinerary for today cos my uncle who hosts the new year lunch every year could not book the function room for lunch. we met for dinner instead. a substantial amount of relatives were out of town too so the crowd was smaller.
-agnes back. we need to squeeze today in the car. not to mention that everyone goes " you are back?" or "wah..you come back for new year ah?" she was one of the stars of the day i think.

going my grandmom's house for combined lunch tmr. now that a regular fixture of cny:)
