and we all herald the year of the cock. i mean chicken, i mean rooster.
Gong Hei Fat Choy! Gong Xi Fa Cai, Xin Xiang Shi Chen, eh... Xue Ye Jing Bu, Bu Bu Gao Sheng, erm... Hong Bao Na Lai!
So after another round of ba kuas, pineapple tarts, eggrolls, sweets. drinking soft drinks and beer by the barrel-loads and not to mention having lost or gained hundreds of dollars through couple of rounds of Ban Lat (blackjack). the first 2 days of CNY has passed by for us all.
Spent it together with my men at Sembawang Wharves, not the more romantic or the most "fantasy-stic" of CNY ever celebrated, but at least there was some meaning to our duty. and nto to mention really actually kinda had some fun with them in the KIN, playing cards, and....
*drumrolls* I'VE LEARNT HOW TO CYCLE... *gasps*
finally, actually got down to tryt he bicycle and got it going about 2 hr into leanring, with minimum scabs, lacerations and band-aid.
Ok, so i'm no Lance Armstrong, but this bodes of more such learning to come. gonna hv lotsa more stuff i wanna learn, driving, diving, guitar, skate, etc etc. the lists can run into 10 toilet rolls long.
Anyway, had a interested day yesterday in SW while on duty, imagine ang mohs actually coming up to ya while u are walking around, serious looking, gun in hand, and he smiles and says, "G'day man! happy chinese new year, gong xi fat chai!" with that american slang and grin. kinda perks u up abit y'noe? and knowing that these ppl acknowledges ur presence makes this job feels abt 10 times better and feel good abt urself.
moving on, today spent the entire day at home after i've reache dhome at 12pm, my 4th uncle and his family, wif my fav cousins from my dad side, minus my granny, came over to visit today. like to hv them on visits and visiting them too, haha dunno why, but feel very comfortable with them, its jus those relatives u particularly look forward to seeing no matter which time of the yr.
so they spent the afternoon here, and entertained my cousin. haha she's sec 3 and kinda reminds me of some of the fun n kinda silly stuff i've done back then. also played with my other cousin and the 2 adorable twins, who took turns to cry, sleep, stone and look blur the whole day through.
then my 3rd uncle came over, also entertained them, and a tuition job may hv jus poped into view, their kid is quite willing to let me hv a go at tuitioning her, hmmm but mum has a point, harder and also may cause more problem if i tried ot tuition her and also cahrge her... hmmm.... dunno if i should offer my services concretely to them... still pondering...
anyway other than all those above, its another day in my life. had the TiMe of mY lIFe today.
hope u guys had urs. :)
