Chinese New Year

It is indeed a tough Ox year.

A tiring Chinese New Year with lesser and lesser sleep each day.

I am packed with 2 whole days of house visiting and extended family gathering,

house visits and unwelcome relatives visit to my humble home.

大年初一

It is nothing uncommon to pay grand-dad a visit on the first day of cny,

the mega family gathering at the old kampong area i grew up - The Railway Mall.

Grand-dad's place turned into a major gambling den every year during cny.

With the new year gambling family of a total of 10 uncles and aunties,

25 cousins and some distant relatives as usual.

It was late afternoon and we headed to my maternal grandma's place at Balestier and had an early dinner at 5pm and took a nap at granny's place before the entire family head off for a family gathering movie day just behind granny's place.

Later part of the night, ( which is the most relaxing and enjoying part of the day )

i drove down to hubbiee's place at SengKang to spend some quiet time with my bao bao hubbiee,

it is enjoyable to watch PPstream with my bao bao in his arms and both of us had a good laugh over stephen chow movies.

大年初二

I got home around 7am in the morning and headed straight to bed after wash ups. I was then awaken by the knockings on my door and some horrifying laughters of some uninvited guest. They were slibings of my dad.

* Dad is an adopted child, those uncles and aunties were dad's biological slibings, anyway i wasnt close to them and they were like strangers to me*

Its was 9am in the morning and i barely had 3 hours of sleep.
