雪人の宅

新年快乐！Although it's already 初七, I'm still kinda in the holiday mood. Why? Cos' I'm only working on Monday. That's a total of a week off from work. Okay start being envious.

New Year is probably one of my favourite festivities. The added bonus of being able to get ang pows is certainly enticing. Anyway it's actually the idea of seeing so many family and friends that you may not have the time and chance to during normal days. Also the added perks of mahjong! I've been playing mahjong from 初一 to 初四. Sadly afterwhich, everyone else has to work and no more time for mahjong. But we're going for another round at my granny's house later! Woah~

It's not like I earn much from mahjong. In fact, I'll be thankful if I don't lose. But it's the game that I'm addicted to. I love how you manipulate the tiles so that eventually you get a set that works. I'm definitely not an expert but I simply loved the game.

Another wonderul thing that happened in my life. One of my best friends is getting married. Sy called me during a mahjong game at Jyna's house to tell me that she's going to get married to Eric in a month's time. The actual date is set to be 24th March. Omigosh! Can you believe that? She's getting married at such a young and tender age and this old aunty here is still not attached??!!
Anyway I'm super happy for her and I get to be the 姐妹 for the first time. I mean I was forced to assume this 姑姑 role when I was in secondary school for this distant uncle whom I may not even see once a year. Anyway that time was horrid cos I have to wake up super early in the morning and travel all the way to God-knows-where part of Singapore and go out with the entire entourage for the entire morning. That being said, I don't get the deserved ang pow that all-my-friends-who-did-it have! I almost wanted to die on the spot. All this trouble for nothing. But of course, Sy, I'm not asking you to prepare it for me, cos for you, I'm literally FOC. Anything for a friend, ya? *winks*

I look forward to the day. In the meantime, I must go shopping for new clothes~
