The One About Lunar New Year

Okay… updates on whats happening in my life now.

This will probably the last CNY for me in Singapore for a long time to come. (Not that I CAN’T come back. But I would definitely AVOID coming back.) It’s different when you are married. :D

I won $29 in Mahjong against my mom and dad. :D

We had steamboat for reunion dinner at my aunt’s place. And steamboat for 2 days after. And guess what? I officially hate the smell of steamboat. I was ok with it during reunion. But from the 2nd day I had to smell it? I felt like throwing up.

Mom cooked me instant noodles instead.

I went to my In-Law’s place on the first day with Lulu. Mom-In-Law cooked VERY DELICIOUS asam curry chicken, drunken prawns as well as veges with mushrooms. It was SO DELICIOUS that I ate 2 helpings of rice and asam curry. I even packed some to bring back for my mom.

Then Lulu had to eat Bak Kwa next to me. I almost vomitted too.

Times like this, I would think that I’d rather smell durians (not eat, no, I’m still sane) than smell steamboat or Bak Kwa.

On the second day, we went to my aunt’s place again. I just lay on her bed and played FFIII on my Nintendo DSlite for the entire day. Boring.

On the third day, I went to K-box for a Karaoke Session with my ex-collegues.

It was 5 hours of fun and laughter.

After that, we went for dinner. Someone suggested Billy Bombers but I know that would make me puke. So we settled for Sakae Sushi.

It wasn’t so bad in there. I only felt like puking when I smelt the unagi bento rice thingy. I only ate 1 piece of salmon sashimi. Which was my favorite. But apparently, someone inside me doesn’t like it so much.

I ate two plates of Edamame, one chawanmushi, 2 tuna mayo temakis, 1 fish roe sushi (thank God someone else ate the other because I would have puked if I ate two) and 1 green tea ice-cream.

Sigh.

As you can see, I’m having very puke-y days.

I am also suffering from insomnia. I toss and turn for 3 hours on the average before falling asleep. Already with tears flowing down my face due to all the yawning. I am SO TIRED but I cannot sleep!

And then when I finally get to sleep, I HAVE NIGHTMARES!

The day before, I dreamt of myself screaming at some Sony Ericsson customer service officer and I woke up with a shock.

Last night, I dreamt of my room being haunted by a ghost and I kept telling the thing to get out or else…. I wasn’t even afraid of the ghost, apparently. Just very annoyed with it.

“JUST GET OUT YOU IDIOT!!!! GET OUTTT!!!!!!!!!”, I screamed.

Ok.

7 more days and I fly off.

I wish I could post pictures and stuff but my mom’s comp is laden with viruses. The mouse cursor dances around the screen and Msn cannot work properly.

I guess this is better than not having internet. Which will happen to me in 7 days’ time.

Happy Piggy Year. That’s my year. Hehehe. Good’day.
