Chinese New Year!

Hey hey Happy Lunar New Year people! (yes one day late)

Well, today there wasn't much to do. My grandparents on my mother's side have passed away, and we never ever visited my uncle (father's side) so there were only 2 places to go.. My other grandparents and my mum's first sister.

As usual my grandmother would cook this vegetarian zai thingy, as she's a buddhist, which isn't too bad... but i don't exactly like anything that's vegetarian.. Then we hung around for a while before proceding to my aunt's house. Everyone was gone already cause my family always takes eons to leave the house.. so my sisters and I missed out on ilke 5 ang paos..!! Nevermind haha

Highlight of today (for me at least): We had a gambling session as usual every CNY. Lots of my cousins came to gamble... Past few years I would lose like 10 bucks or win 10.. This year it was like a combination of all.. Lose 4 bucks to win 6 to lose 10 to win 14 to lose 8 to win 25 wahahaha at least i won only like 2 bucks.. then double ace, then blackjack, then a 21 (and since the bets always got bigger and bigger as we reached the end... I bet 7 and won 7 on the last round :D)

My cousin Matthew loves this 2 dollar note of his (since 2 years ago) cause he said it brings him good luck - whenever he bets it he usually wins lol now I've found my lucky 3 coins XD maybe I should keep it till next year too? hahaha

Well, Chinese New Year is a once a year thing.. but somehow I only look foward to the ang paos - the only chinese custom that I enjoy since I'm not the one giving them out =p; and the gambling of course..! Hey I was officially the biggest winner that night k =D
