Hugs and kisses baby. Mostly pictorial and chronological post coming right up. (Lazy readers say "Hooray!")
Hongwei's Dumpling blog inspired.Ay lovey, how did you spend your new year?Chu Xi - (New Year's Eve)Left to Right: Stephanie, Rebecca, Jasmine, Shiting, SamuelHad church before heading over to Ah gong's house and yes, I came into contact with some wonderful new friends. Gotta love what the girls are wearing. As for Samuel, he looked like he popped out from a Qing Dynasty film. That's okay, we still love you.
Left to Right: Rebecca, Jasmine, Shiting, Me, StephanieThanks Samuel for taking the picture :) Your skills are impeccable or we just make the picture look good. Can't see my green top from the picture though. Gosh, is it me or do girls
(or "matured" ladies) in church just look more beautiful?
After that, I headed over to Bishan. Geraldine *aherm* left me there to rot by myself. No wonder you're my
favourite cousin.
Chu Yi - (Day One of New Year)(pic coming soon)
Headed over to Lavender where we met the mama's side of the family. Undeniably, this is the side that I feel closer to. So many supportive cousins and relatives. They're ever so sweet and encouraging. Too bad Jasmin's family wasn't there. Wisdom from the elders:
1) Praise the Lord!
2) Engineers built Singapore. - I did learn a lot about engineers and all. Too bad they're a dying breed here. It would suck if we had to import more PRCs when we actually encompass the Singapore brand. Sigh, it's like trying to replace all the hawker centres in Sg with Macs. It just loses the local touch. Made in China? That's everywhere. Made in Singapore? Now that's something you don't see everyday.
3) Poly life is good. You don't need a supposedly fantastic start to be successful in life. Going off the beaten track is stimulating and it doesn't make you lose out if you try your best.
4) I have to fix my finger by attaching a "splinter" to it.
5) Little boys are destructive. My father still loves little kiddies though. Guess he's missing the time when he could baby my brother or me. He still babys my brother though. Everybody go "Awww".
Intellectually stimulating, yes. Boring, slightly.
Chu Er - (Day Two of New Year)
Ladies and gents, I present to you, my cousin. Gosh sometimes I can hardly believe we're related.
AngelFreak of Nature!Oh no! She's getting consumed by the mass of hair! Haha yeah, she was just telling me how she feels camera-shy. Picture speaks for itself. She's doing a Romeo to a pair of my Ah Gong's pants.
We have nice cheem English names, but everyone chooses to call us by our sillier pet names. *facepalm* Ping ping! Ah Ping! Bao bao!
Thank God I get called by my Chinese name more often.
Heehee, remembering one of my creepy nightmares... I was washing my face and looking into the mirror. I saw Geraldine in the mirror, screamed and promptly woke up. So now you're the stuff of nightmares.
So much for A1 in O level English. If you're reading this G, get to your compre after you're done with my post.
*pauses to stop self from saying anything that will make her ego explode with glee or demoralise her*Gave my rotting brain a slight workout by picking out the points for her summary and teaching her the basics.
(Girl you were supposed to write it down properly, but noooo...)Don't get mad girl, it's you as you are and I love it. You're everyone's favourite bad girl okay?Of course, no CNY would be complete without some tots in traditional Chinese costumes.
Left to Right: Sarah/Dionne, Jolin, Dionne/Sarah engaging in CNY bondingCan't tell them apart, but aren't they cute? Cute as a button baby! Well at least the twins are. Jolin's the most kaypoh, nightmarish little girl ever.
Somebody restrain her. Or give a kick to the pigtails is pretty good too.
Oh and Dionne's named after Celine Dion.
Ain't I a peach?Pardon the blurriness, but she totally captured the joy of children in that shot. She's practically bubbly with amusement from a very simple game. Darn, nothing makes us grown-ups happy like that.
Nappy time! Spread the love and the drool!Mmm pics are blurry cuz I was really tired then.
Ladies and gents, I present to you, my brother Lim Yu Cheng in an unglam shot!
Who said I wanted a nit-picking session you chimp!Haha, he had his finger between his toes before that. Yes, that's Jolin for you, constantly popping out of nowhere. Hmm my bro looks annoyed.
Of course, hanging out with Geraldine is fun since she does have a great fashion sense, perfect for the tropical Singapore climate but very copy-able. Nothing like browsing chick mags with her or talking about clothes and retarded incidents.
Dessert- Fruit cocktail in sweet stuffIt runs in the familyResemblances?Facial, yes. Attitude, behaviour-wise... that leaves a lot to be desired. Ah well, it takes all kinds to make the world and the family.
That's all folks. I'm dead tired and Chu San, Si, Wu, Liu will be updated soon enough. Yes, hongbaos and memories coming in everyday.
