Chapter 298: Chinese New Year

Wishing everyone a Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year!
Have a wonderful/great dragon year ahead!

On the eve of CNY, it is time to 守岁! Before that, its time for EPL!
It is a good start to the New Year where the Red Devils (Man Utd) beat Arsenal away 2-1, from goals from Valencia and Welbeck.
I slept at 5am due to 守岁, while waiting for my dad's download to complete. What a filial son I am I know, now my parents will live longer! Muhahahaha.

On the first day of CNY, I woke up quite late... around 1230 hrs.. thanks to the 守岁 process last night haha. Reached maternal grandparents hse at around 2?
Red Packets flow in of course. Went to eat lunch then.
We then went to play Monopoly Deal. And I cant remember what happen... but we left for paternal grandparents place after a rich time collecting Hongbaos :)

Reached paternal grandparents place shortly after and more hongbaos!!!
My grandfather dotes me, knowing that I'm going to NS this year, he gave me a really fat red packet... much fatter than my sis's one :)
He knew that I need $2 for haircut in the army and so I got 5 $2 notes in that red packet... plus some $10 in there (which I will not reveal how many.)
My sis is filled with envy, wow, I'm surprised and happy for having a great grandfather.

One of my cousins then went out with me and my family to Changi Airport T3.
Second time there FYI.
so, my cousin fetched me in his car (so I can entertain him), while my sis and mum rode on my dad's car there.
Went to T1 through the skytrain (I love to ride on it when I'm young. Well, that doesnt mean I'm old now, I'm still relatively young :D )
Went to dine at Astons.. and the most funny thing we're being told is that the Coffee machine just broke down.... epic.
My cousin is very knowledgeable about planes.. until he could name me each respective planes we saw...
We deliberately spent more than 50 dollars, so that my cousin could get the Angry Bird for his mum (or my aunt, or my dad's sister)

We then headed to Junction 8 for movie. We watched the show "The Viral Factor" a.k.a. "逆战". A show which starred Nicholas................
...
...
Tse
and Jay Chou!!!
An interesting action film. Nice to watch. The movie set at Malaysia, and they spoke several tongues like English, Chinese, Cantonese, Malay.

We then went back to grandparents hse as my mum forgot to take her phone charger with her while leaving... So, I went up to retrieve the charger and her phone before going home with parents.

---

The next day CNY day 2. We went to maternal grandparents hse and we played lots of games together ("we" refers to cousins.)
We played games like "Monopoly Deal","Daidi","Bridge","Ah Zhap","Cheat".
It's really alot of fun together.

My grandmother spoke to me in Hokkien, and I could barely understand/speak. So I did my best in answering. She asked me if I wanted fish... I told her that fish is not nice LOL.
Then I don't know what she is saying already ... Hokkien too chim for my tiny brain to understand.

We spent majority of the day at grandparents hse basically.
Of course, the other relatives gambled.. but I somehow quitted gambling since a few years back. Gambling is bad as losing money is easier than winning. And thus it is not a wise choice.

9 more days to NS... sian...

Got a rather packed schedule this week... so expect more updates I guess?
