I registered online with like FIVE tuition agencies and there is still no reply from them after 2 days! Maybe I should have registered with more...

On a random note, I feel like organizing a BBQ somewhere in around Jun-Jul period. But I dunno where.

I need a job before I go crazy rotting away at home. How the hell did I spend all my school holidays last time?

I am very sad that Chinese New Year is ending. I love meeting up with friends and relatives for gatherings. I think it's a great opportunity for me to catch up with people whom I've not met for a long time. This year's CNY was not as happening as those that occurred on 2009 and before. I shan't go into the details but because of circumstances, we did not visit most relatives. In fact, I haven't seen most of my mother's extended family in the past 2 years! Also, gatherings with cousins are also severely limited. One good thing is that we made full use of whatever time we have together and it actually turned out more fruitful than what I had expected.

Highlights of my past week.

And in an instant, the CNY festive holiday is over. Did you guys collect loads and loads of red packets? Mine was not as much as before. And it's not because people started to think that I'm an old man who is supposed to have married. It's because of the passing on of relatives last year and thus majority of my family members are not allowed to give red packets. But it's okay, since the main idea of CNY is to allow long-lost relatives to meet up, gather and catch up on old times. Erm, maybe it's the red packets for us kids la.

But anyway, I've been gambling these few days and luck has been not on my side. Maybe it's shining on my backside because I lost a whopping $42 by playing 50cents blackjack in a day. Can you believe it? And that exact same day, my mum won $68 being our dealer. She insisted that her luck was good thanks to the bird who shit on her after our dinner at AMK S-11. Oh well, now trying to jio mahjong sessions to recuperate my losses.

Today was Grandma's birthday and we had high-tea at Carousel, Royal Plaza on Scotts. The buffet selection was decent, the quality was decent, but it's not very value for money. In addition, the timing for our meal was restricted to 3.30pm to 5.30pm. So it was rather rush for us. Personally, I like the laksa and the salmon sashimi there.

With that, I shall sign off and look forward to this Friday.

It's Chinese New Year again! And it's the season of red packets! Oooh, I love it!

Just had reunion dinner at Owen's again. Somehow, due to the massive amount of customers today, the standard of their food is seriously not up to standard. But, I shall forgive them because their food rocks my life every other time I went there! Haha!

This morning, a few of us went back to CHS to visit teachers. It was really nostalgic as we walked past the corridors, the classrooms, the assembly square, the staff rooms, the hall, the canteen, the staircase...... At that point, I had the sudden urge to go through my upper secondary school life with 4-3 again and enjoy what it's like to be carefree again.

This year, my house seriously don't have the CNY mood. No decorations. No never-ending display of tidbits and snacks. No cotton plant thingy for me to peel the outer layer off. And most importantly, it's the first time we celebrate CNY in the past 2 years. Lol, okay that was dumb.

So anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing all the relatives' faces in the next few days. And of course, looking forward more to my dearest ORD date (:
