Hey hey.
I'm GRACCI.
She's all I ever need
To fall in love again
I knew it from the very start
She's the puzzle of my heart
It's the way she's always smiling
That makes me think she never cries
I feel I'm losing my defences
To the colour of her eyes
Hahas, here's a joke from Milian: (H)wa (C)hong (N)an (Y)ang = (H)APPY (C)HINESE (N)EW (Y)EAR peepsssss!!!
Ok, thought it was damn cool, thumbs up to Chua Milian!!!:P
erm, I guess Chinese New Year was very fun:)
Day before 除夕夜: Went to grandma's house to 拜个特早年, 顺便吃年货, 变成大肥猪;D had lots of fun and laughter, reminds me of my childhood where I always go to my grandma's house to eat, sleep, play and 胡搞。Then, I spent the night there, and there's like music pumping through the air cos their house is like very near to the 夜市,so got lots of feel:D and of course, I couldnt really sleep well, partly cos of the festive music, but also because of the stupid timely arrival of my damn red friend. Irritating!!! Anw, my 舅舅bought us mee goreng at midnight(which I didnt eat unfortunately) cos I was too 贪睡,醒不来!!!
除夕夜: Depart from Grandma's house. Went back home. Put on nice clothes(sth that my parents always insist, though I keep saying that it's such a waste to dirty your clothes in the hot humid atmosphere while eating and shopping in Chinatown) Yeah, waste of petrol right? Boon Lay--> Chinatown -->Boon Lay -->Chinatown o_O Haiz, anw we returned to Chinatown to have our reunion dinner. Steamboat!!! Chicken soup VS 麻辣(中). Aka me VS my parents lllT.T anw, the point is I got stuffed till so full, eating all the noodles(my fav "catch" of the day!!!), prawns(very fresh), flower crabs(very sweet meat), meatballs, sotong balls, fish(so tender:)), popiah, fried food, vege(:D), red-bean 馒头(外酥内软, 棒极了), etc before ending off with a touch of gentle jamine green tea aroma(damn my red friend, cant drink too many cold drinks). After which we proceeded to 夜市, which was quite disappointing cos it lacks the festive spirit from previous years. And there were lesser stalls selling lesser goods with lesser people 逛街ing also. In the end, it sort of rained a bit and we just headed back to sleep. Except that I didnt sleep cos I've got a mission on hand: 守岁(家庭万岁,守岁还不是为了您, 您可要对我说声:辛苦你了,小妹^ ^ hehe). But it ended quite fail, cos I dozed off from 10pm to 11.57pm before making a futile attempt to last till 12.47am. Then, I gave up and hit the pillow straightaway:D 还是睡觉万岁好了...
初一: My mum and I 决定组织个烹饪合作团队。Only two ppl( My dad kindly counted himself out of this grand event) involved. My mum ended up being the 厨师 and I became the 小助理。那就先祝自己合作愉快。actually, i realised that my mum and I really formed a great team. Both opposite personalities, opposite coooking skills and techniques, opposite appetite, opposite people actually could 擦出火花来。一会儿chop chop chop, 一会儿peel peel peel, 一会儿wash wash wash(my mum is very super clean, hygience level in our kitchen is A grade ok*o*), 一会儿手忙脚乱(起火,关火,加水,加盐、胡椒、麻油、油、鸡蛋、粉、etc),却忘了加料O.o (啊!!!快加啊!!!) .........................................................................................................................................................................乒乒乓乓一番美味佳肴出场了^-^ 有年糕、有鸡蛋、有蒜、有虾、有鱼、有。。。哎呀,总之什么都有啦:P even my dad 赞ok :D Mission accomplished. Then, went out to 小桂林 and 照相! Lots of posing and photos, other ppl still thought we are there for shooting or sth lor, hahaas:D it actually rained there, so it was quite romantic...except it was the wrong ppl walking with me under the umbrella, hahas:) glancing at the slightly green water(eutrophication?), i was reminded of cases of victims who swam in 桂林 and drowned:( So tragic, no wonder 老天爷also 掉眼泪:( haiz. Then, went to eat chicken fried rice, seafood mee goreng and seafood bee hoon goreng at some Indian stall. Very very nice leh!!! And finally, ended off with a touch of gentle jasmine green tea aroma(erm, WTH, green tea almost everyday?! hahas, but i was the one who suggested it so yeah:)) Cant drink too much cold drinks still, but a sip or two wont die right:D Then, at night, I watched some movies(which was quite lame and funny but didnt note down its name) and one particular movie that I loved was 叶问2。I thought the movie was very very nice, with very good actors who knew how to fight well, and with very good lessons to takeaway. I find Ip Man very inspiring cos he only fights when needed and his Wing Chun skills are like really really pro. A fine man indeed. Of course, I really admired the actor acting as Ip Man cos he really fight very well and it's like he's always so calm even in the face of danger. Very good acting leh. My mum said he's Zeng Zi Dan...? Quite good looking also. Anyway, I really 佩服all the masters' spirit, like they will fight to death for the glory of Chinese Kung Fu. Hate the Westerners now and the whatever Twister boxer. Go twist your head instead lah!!! But, the movie still ended well so very the happy. But got a huge surprise when I came to know that Ip Man was a real person(and not a fiction character or sth) and was 李小龙's 师傅 somemore leh!!! Grace ah, you really need to brush up not only on your general knowledge, but also on historical facts!!!
初二: Never cook. But I went out with my parents again:) During lunch, we 捞鱼生. It was quite fun trying to compete who can 捞higher, but well, I ended up getting my fingers oily and stuff. And I couldnt remember much 吉祥话, so I could only say a few good wishes. But it's the thought that counts, so good enough lah. Afterall, simplicity is the best thing to me^ ^But the 鱼生(not just the fish lah) was very tasty, like a little bit sour yet a little bit sweeet. makes me 看了都垂涎三尺!!! My parents complained why I ate such a huge portion, never leave for them...(actually, the 鱼生was meant for 8 ppl, but WTH, it looks like I can ttly finish it up all at one go lor) and I was like feeling so 委屈, so i said "谁叫鱼生这么好吃,加上人家肚子饿吗,not my fault ok?" Then, I gave them the puppy eyes and my dad finally succumbed to my pleadings, "aiya, she wants to eat then eat more lah:)" and he even 夹a portion of his to me!!! Muhahahas, Im so evil. Persuasion is so important ok!!! In the evening, I watched 我的特务女友. Very interesting, but didnt manage to watch finish cos it was time for little puppy to get to bed. And I just lay down and sleep........................................... But, I couldnt really sleep well(dont know why), I kept waking up at like 12am(when I thought it was alr 5am in the morning), 12.35am, 2.05am and blah blah blah. 犹豫在醉与醒的状态,最后才马马虎虎的睡醒。还好没有睡不醒。Reminds me of a Chinese New Year song "幸福来呀幸福来”,and someone joked to me about how “幸福来” sounds like "醒不来” Oh no!? Really bad leh.
Anyway, today went back to school. Then found out that there was an English Diagnostic Test againo.O Haiz, actually I did know that there will be one this week, but I thought it was on Friday instead, but turned out to be today. Yeah, ttly smart me. Last week, I dont know there was a test, so still 情有可原,but today is sooooo....*beep* It's like knowing vs not knowing actually dont make any difference to me. Should name myself blur sotong from today onwards:) Anw, the test was quite hard, testing on grammar(yeah, I know. Easy for you, but honestly my grammar is 满江红 horrrr), sentence structure(still ok) and compre(one that was at least do-able) All MCQs, but I guess MCQs arent as easy as they seem. Ok, so the best thing in life is not really simplicity now -__- And then, we had some General Knowledge Test which I so happened to score 10/25!!! Super pro, congrats myself for having the skill to fail. anw, here's a quote that was really funny: "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."~ Thomas A Edison. Yeah, probably, next time, I should find a million ways that wont work. Great job manzzzzz!!! :D
hahas, now in a super the happy mood, not cos of CNY or anything lah!!! ^O^ going to read manga now"kaichou wa maid sama":)
