Chinese New Year In Singapore

Finally, for the first time, we get to travel to and fro dubai and singapore with Max as a complete family instead of having to bid a tearful farewell...

At the airport, we met Uncle Gan.. who was flying back to Malaysia at around the same timing and Ace got his first ever ang pow for CNY;) hehehehhe....

When we arrived in Singapore and was taking a taxi back to my mum's place, it started to rain:) Gee... havent seen rain in 5 months lor!:) wahahahahahaha... Anyway, I loved the rain but hated it at the same time.. no fun lugging luggage in the rain without shelter.. or even if underneath shelter, the rain was still spraying at us lor...

Anyway, this was how I looked when I arrived in sgp.. i tried on my cheong sam and it was a good fit! woo hoo! finally:)

In the next few days though.. after many days of eat and eat and eat... hai.. I put on quite a few kg lor....

Anyway, right after we settle our lugguage, we went to Rochor to buy some stuff... and also to eat the best vegeterian laksa tat a fren recommended:) hehehehe..


Ace also got to order a hokkien mee... his fav noodles with black black sauce.. and it was yummilicious! I have forgotten how yummy the yellow noodles with their distinct taste tasted:)

And then we went around rochor (bugis village area) and they had some sort of pasar malam.. sort of like chinatown and we found two cute dragons to decorate our house door:) swee boh?

I had expected Ace to be excited and thought he will enjoy seeing all the CNY things.. we initially planned to go chinatown but changed our plan last minute due to the rain... alas he was just complaining about the long walk and seem totally uninterested in all the CNy stuff... glad we din go chinatown and squeeze with other pple or.. if not I would have felt very cheated when i see his super xian face...

After that, we went to meet up with Seok Ling ganma who hasnt seen Ace in a long long while.. Ace asked me if Ganma is going to buy him a present... wahahahahahahaha.. he is so used to getting presents everytime he sees his godmas man.. I told him "No, of course not lah... you cannot always expect godma to buy you present.. this time round, it is our turn to buy godma present... " and so we bought some lovely CNY goodies (which I love and hopefully godma seokling will love)

Anyway, because we had very short time to meet up, SL godma also din get to really spend alot of time with Ace.. most of the time, the two of us were just talking to each other and catching up...

The next day, I woke early morning to make my way down to cut my hair.. yes! Finally! And then I went to meet Karen godma (by myself) and found out tat she was meeting Linda and YX.. so I went along lor...

Finally after i finished meeting them, I went home to get ready for our next gathering with the 19 hole gang:)

That is where this exciting thing happened.. we had wanted to go to North South East West vegeterian restaurant but it was not opened! So leh we had change of plan to go to an indian restaurant nearby called Bombay cafe... our frens in another car chose to walk there and we chose to drive...

As we were driving along the main road, a car just suddenly come out from the side road and Max quickly brake to a stop. We heard a bang and knew he hit our car lor.. but the man actually tried to drive away!!!!

Max keep horning at him and then he kan cheong and then went to stop his car in the middle of the entrance to a petrol kiok.... and at this moment, I think he might have almost peed in his pants to see a tall,big botak man with fierce face (Max was dam pissed) come out of the car to confront him... and one second later, another tall, dark handsome man too... (our other fren whose pregnant wife was seated in the front at the side tat the stupid car bang into )

When they went to confront him, he tried to say tat there is nothing wrong with the car.. and Max say how can he say tat when there is already a scratch.. and then at this moment, Nick, Steff and AC who were walking over to the indian restaurant came over and asked what happened... and the pregnant mama also went out of the car to take pics... so suddenly, I think he realized that we are this huge group of people....

He really sweat man.. now i think about it.. it seems quite funny.. but at tat time very stressed.. ahahahahah... You can literally feel Max's mood turn pitch black lor..

Our poor xiaobai... we feel very paiseh lah.. cos we borrowed the car from another fren lor...

Anyway, we got the guy's number and went on with our gathering... it was a very happy and pleasant gathering and I am glad to be able to meet these frens again... cos we havent gotten together in a long long while since two of them were away in London for a few years...

We had such a great time we even went on to have drinks at a little cafe after the dinner:)

Ace for Ace, even though I asked him to stay at home.. he still wanted to come with us..and maybe he did not have enough rest or wat.. the poor boy was sneezing away.. But leh, while we were hanging out with our frens, I tried to entertain him by giving him a few coasters and a pen...

He actually surprised me by writing out a long list of words that I did not know he can already spell! wow! Impressive!

PS: we went to buy 4D of both car numbers but too bad din win.. If we did win a million or two.. maybe we can go back to sgp for good! wahahahah Anyway, heng we finally got the car fixed swee swee swee before we left.. we were so worried tat we cannot fix it cos most of the workshops we called not opened till the day we were due to fly!
