...Happy Chinese New Year
**some bkgrd*
*My family's usual CNY Day 1 schedule:
Temple in the morning,
Malaysia relatives visits in the afternoon till evening(or overnight stay),
evening come home watch tv.
This year's CNY Day 1 is was rather screwed up. Just when i was about to cross over to Johor, at the SG Immigration Checkpoint, I was denied exit! Didn't realise my passport expired exactly 3 days ago.Sianzzz.. and my parents and sis had already crossed over, leaving me stranded at the counter.
So, after some discussion with my family over at the counter, they decided to go ahead and I had to return home. Not so much about not able to collect ang pao but spending CNY without my FAMILY?! and RELATIVES?! and FRIENDS?!(since everyone is busy visiting relatives)...how pathetic!
Its like splashing cold water on my CNY.
Even hours after doing the U-turn at the Checkpoint i felt as though this's a dream. Like so super unexpected k!
2 days ago my Vietnam colleague was still mentioning to me how bored it will be for him to spend CNY in SG, and I comforted him saying the Casino will be opening, can watch TV etc...now its like all these suggestions are for me!
LUCKILY, I have a super nice boyfriend who's willing to leave his relative's gambthering in the evening to have dinner with me:) My family's staying overnight by the way so i had to settle my own dinner. At least sth good(and wonderful:) happened today if not I will feel really super disappointed.
p.s. Sorry for the wordy post...its really meant to be a 'diary' post for myself to remember sth**Labels: I can feel it now:)
