Just realised today is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and according to the Chinese, it is known as 'Ren Ri' (People's day). Since young, mum had been telling me that Ren Ri is the day when everyone 'supposedly' turn another year older. Sounds ridiculous to me... i mean i just celebrated my birthday not too long ago and if today is everyone's birthday, that means i had just added 2 more years to my age instead of one within a year. So logically speaking, that means my mum's actual age should be 110 by now! Haha... Lame right? My curiosity got the better of me and so i decided to do a google search online and this is what i found out:
"The seventh day of the first month - the day of man (ren ri) The seventh day of the first month is the day of man. According to the ancient writings of Tung Fang So, censor to the Emperor Wudi under the Han dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD), the first eight days of the year are dedicated respectively to the rooster, dog, pig, sheep, bull, horse, man and grain. If a ewe has lambs on the day of sheep (fourth), her offspring will be exemplary… provided that the day is sunny. So it's on this day of the year that all Chinese change their age at the same time, rather than on their birthday. In China when a child is born it is already one year old and if it is born during the twelfth month, it will be two years old on the seventh day of the first month - even though it has only been in the world for a month! It is said that if the weather is clear and sunny on that day, there will be many births in the coming year."
Hmm... that means if you live in the desert, you will have many offsprings since the possibility of the weather being clear and sunny on that day is very high. Then the pityful mum will have a torturous time having babies one after another, unable to prevent her poor boobs and belly from sagging even further after each birth. Soon, the desert will be swarm with women trying to have babies, hoping that this will be the place where their wishes will be granted. Then again, which sane person will want to live in a desert or give birth there right? Forget it, i am just talking crap. Haha...
Anyway, we traditionally celebrate Ren Ri with a unique chinese dish called 'Lau Hei' (Yu sheng) or what i call it, 'The Chinese Rojak' because of the different ingredients that went into the mixture.
This is what Dad bought back just now. Yu sheng was intended to be colourful, tasty and symbolically auspicious for the chinese. Combining the raw slices of salmon (I wonder did they put it in cos i did not see any!) with a mixture of ingredients including shredded carrots, turnips, ginger, jellyfish, deep-fried pieces of flour and sweet-sour sauce (mum even added mandarin orange inside! -_-"'), each of us will then tossed it using chopsticks with cries of "_____"(just fill in the blanks with whatever auspicious word), the higher the better. To me, it was more of the fun associated with the occasion rather than a tradition thing.
8 more days before Chinese New Year offically ends and this is my Ang Bao collections thus far:
Hmm... Not a lot and not little either. Basically it is the same amount almost every year: $200-$300. However, surprise surprise! My uncle for some reason passed $1000 to my mum to distribute to me and my brother this year, not including the $20 bucks he gave us when we visited him. But mum 'kope' $100 from each of us to compensate 'her loss' so we only had $400 each instead. But still, i got $600+ altogether thanks to my uncle's generosity. *jumps up and down* Time for shopping spree! Yeah~ No wait, i think i better use it for my next month expenses. Survival is more important now. Sigh~ *Poof! Dreams disappear yet again~*
*PS: My uncle invited us to his house for steamboat tomorrow. One, Two, Three, Four, Five. That will be the fifth time i will be having steamboat this month! Thank god i just skipped one this week, otherwise it will be six! Well, i guess i must turn up no matter what, otherwise i will be perceived as someone who takes money and run. I am going to suffer from 'steambophia' soon. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Updated 25/2/07: Just came back from my uncle's place. Unexpectedly, he changed it to a buffet spread. Heng~Turns out it was actually an advance bday celebration for my nephew (yes, another bday celebration) which my uncle tried to keep it from us. (maybe he does not want my mum to spend extra money but nevertheless, my mum still gave my nephew an ang bao anyway) Guess what, my uncle gave us another ang bao with 20 bucks inside even though we told him that we already received it last week. Hard to believe that there are such generous person out there? Well, that person happens to be my uncle :)
Sad right? Of all days, Feb 14th is the only available slot in the waiting list to Japan. Arrgh! Lucky i still managed to meet up with him for a quick lunch since it was a night flight.
To sidetrack a bit, i just found out one interesting fact about Valentine's Day in Japan:
In Japan, it is only the women who give presents (mainly chocolates) to men. Japanese women are usually too shy to express their love. Therefore, Valentine's Day was thought to be a great opportunity to let women express their feelings. Chocolate given to men such as co-workers or male friends, whom women don't feel special love are called "giri (obligation)-choco (chocolate)." Chocolate given to a special man from a woman is called "honmei (prospective winner)-choco." Honmei-choco is more expensive than giri-choco and is sometimes homemade. However, this is a custom that smart chocolate companies spread to boost their sales, and it has been very successful. Men are supposed to return gifts to women on a day called "White Day"(March 14th), a Japanese creation.
Interesting right? O_o
By coincidence, i happened to get my dumb dumb this for Valentine's Day:
A box of assorted chocolate truffles (6 pieces) from Godiva! The price is also VERY NICE- $35 for 6 small pieces, which works out to about $5.80 for each piece! Lucky he is someone who knows how to appreciate good chocolate since both of us are chocolate lovers :) I managed to try 1 bite and it was delicious! Glad that he likes it too :) By the way, mine is a "honmei (prospective winner)-choco." Hee...
Oh, a special mention to my dear friend, Amy who bought 1 piece of Godiva Raisin Fine Champagne Chocolate for me to try. The sensation of champage oozing out from the dark chocolate, wow... amazing. *Happy* Lalalalaaa~~
Dumb dumb went PS with me yesterday to scout for my belated birthday present. I told him i wanted a watch. Turns out he is also quite particular about the overall design (I expected him to say everything looks nice) and we actually went from PS to Le Meridien to Orchard Point to Centrepoint and eventually back to PS again just to look for more varieties offered by each shop. Haha... I almost forgot that he is also someone who takes a long time to make up his decision. (just realise both of us have this weakness) *Shakes head* Of course, he left it to me to decide the watch that i wanted. Finally, we saw this metal watch from Sovil Et Titus which kind of suits me: nice and simple
Frankly speaking, when i first saw this watch there, it did not really appeal to me intially. It was dumb dumb who asked me to try it out. I guess the bright lightings there affect the colour cos it comes with a mother-of pearl face. The reflections from the light makes the colour very 'white'. Fortunately under normal lighting, i realised the colour is actually more towards purple-pink and the pearl face makes the colour more unique. It comes with a nice box where the theme of this season's advertisements is "Romance is how you feel". Just nice for Valentine's Day too - Sweet! :) It was a good choice eventually cos the more i see it, the more i like it. Muack! :)
Dumb dumb said i can choose 1 more watch as my valentine's gift since my original intention was to buy a white leather watch. In the end i fell for another Titus watch again cos City Chain carrys majority of that brand. So I chose this:
My first square face watch! Actually the colour is not white but more towards cream colour. It comes with a croco-effect leather strap with sparkling crystals around the rim of the watch face. Now i got 2 new watches instead of 1! Woo hoo~ :) Ironically, he just gave me 'double the time' (pun intended) which i alway wanted from him. Haha...
Before i forget, actually i did buy something for CNY. The A & F bag that i ordered online arrived just in time! See? No need to squeeze with sweaty crowd or listen to crazy 'aunty songs'. That is the reason why i am so addicted to online shopping nowadays. Been 'Bio~ing' this bag since last year. Finally decided to get it as a present for myself and at the same time reward myself for the effort that i put in during the school holidays. 1 more item on my wishlist fulfilled! Yeah~ *Skips away*
Unless you are someone who never step out of your house during CNY period, I am sure most of you are familiar with the lyrics above. Yes, these are some of the 'famous' songs which most departmental stores and even pasar malams like to blast and torture us with, songs after songs , year after year without fail. You know what is the worst part? The songs are the same every year! Funny how those older generations seem to enjoy it so much that they actually can even sing along with it. (Must be generation gap!) Can someone pleaseeeeeeeeeeee come up with some new songs? *Yawn*
Normally,this is the period when i will get all excited and rush out to buy new clothings or even accompany my mum to buy CNY goodies. Somehow for this year, i just can't get into the CNY mood or even feel any need to buy new clothings. Just the thought of walking past those places to browse for things is enough to make me cringe. If i can have superpower, the first thing i will do is to make all those songs jammed up so that i can shop in peace then switch them back on after i am done with my shopping. (At least i am not that bad to deprive others of their 'enjoyment' right? Haha...) Even my dumb dumb recognises them as 'aunty songs' though he found it quite amusing -_-"'
Well... this is also the period when my mum will start her "Everywhere red red" mission. To get a glimpse of what i meant, see pictures below:
Front of my house door
The ceiling outside
The wall opposite my house
Even the poor plants were not spared!
Some of these decorations have become a permanent fixture outside my house. So you see, finding my house unit no. is easy. I am 'celebrating' CNY almost everyday thanks to my mum! -_-"'
Anyway, i think i can already 'see' my 'CNY itinerary' in front of me since every year is the same:
Eve of CNY: Mum will start cooking some dishes during the day to prepare for offerings after midnight. Evening time will be a trip to grandma's house for reunion dinner(Steamboat). Return home to watch CNY countdowns on TV if there are no other programs (I think i will skip that cos sat night is 'soccer fever time' Yeah~). Ended up smelling 'haze' while i zzz cos this is the time when mum will start making her offerings for the god, with all the joss sticks and incense papers burning.
CNY Day One: Free alarm! Jolted from my dreamland by 'noise' aka hokkien CNY songs (Yes, suay suay my irritating dad likes to blast his hokkien songs with new or old vcds that he bought. No escape for me! Arghhhh!!! Every year listen to the same song, not sian meh? zzz...). Went to grandma's house for lunch (Steamboat again!). Spend the day playing poker cards with cousins. Meanwhile, wait for rest of my relatives to gather at grandma's house while i add to my ang bao collection. Haha... Night time: Wait for my turn to have dinner (Steamboat yet again! I am getting sick!). After that, watch CNY programs or continue to 'gamble'. Optional: Go out to watch midnight movie. Rest for the night at grandma's house.
CNY Day Two: Free alarm yet again! Jolted from ZZZ by 'noise' from visiting relatives this time. Lunch unknown (Hopefully not steamboat again. I am going to puke!). F&E for rest of the day (Eg. Pay a visit to my uncle, go someone's house or go elsewhere such as River Ang Bao to 'admire' the displays). Rest for the night at grandma's house or go back home.(Depends on my mood)
CNY Day Three: Still unknown - Maybe rot at home or chiong for my project and test which will be due in about 1 week's time. Gasps! I think Day 2 may have to change to the same as day 3 due to special circumstances this year. Sigh~
To those wondering how come i alway have a lot of birthdays, steamboats, buffets, BBQs and whatever shit (oops!) to attend, here is the reason why: My huge family tree! (Mum's side from my grandparents point of view)
Imagine we had occasions like CNY,Mother's day,Father's day,wedding dinner, House warming, 21st birthdays, niece or nephew's 1 month after birth, 1 year old bday and the list goes on...
Now you should know why i am alway busy celebrating some occasions for someone and most of the time, it is a 'grand affairs'? *Sweat*
Sadly, my ah ma and ah gong from my dad's side had already passed away a few years ago. Otherwise, i will get to spend CNY with them as well. To think i used to dread visiting them while they were still alive. Even if i want to do it now, i can't even have the opportunity to do it. Sigh~ That is the problem with human. We tend to take things for granted only to regret when they are not around. Haiz~ I really miss them :'(
Just wanna wish our 椰子小姐 Happy Birthday - the second member of our nutpals to turn 24!
Went Swensen's to celebrate a belated birthday for our dear Coconut today. Planned a surprise ice cream cake for her! Yeah~ Notice anything weird about the cake? It was a Valentine's Day cake! Not sure why but i guess maybe they run out of birthday cakes? Hmm.. Got to check with Peanut. Haha... The staffs at Swensen's even gave Coconut a balloon and broadcasted the birthday song to 'spice up' the atmosphere! Apparently, many people were celebrating birthdays on the same day too. Rong was so impressed by their service that she even wrote a feedback to commend their efforts :)
A delighted Coconut with her cake and balloon
A hand-made birthday card with all the wishes and greetings from all of us!
Clockwise from left: Donut, Peanut, Lian Rong Pau, Coconut, Me & Groundnut!
And FINALLY...
The best video moment of the day dedicated to Coconut and also my favourite!
And I~~~~ Will Always Love You~~~~
Lian Rong Pau and her exaggerated theatrics again! Just in time for V Day??? Haha... I just love this gal!
"So how did your birthday celebration with him goes?"
I was hesitating whether to put this into my blog since everything turned out to be a disaster. Practically everything went wrong. Well... Almost. Sigh~
By right, it should be a joyous occasion (of course subjected to which stage of life you are currently at) filled with fun, laughter and maybe surprise. (I did get a 'surprise' indeed) To save myself the time and trouble of repeating the same old story over and over again, i shall blog it here and divert those interested to know 'my story' to my blog. Please forgive me. I am lazy to explain again.
On my birthday eve, that dumb man finally decided to ask me out after going 1 big round just to ask whether i am free on the actual day -_-"' I wonder what makes it so difficult for him just to ask me directly whether i am free on wed? (Amy said must be because of his ego! Man & his ego... *Shakes head)
Anyway, he told that he wanted to bring me to the new cathay cinema near Dhoby Ghaut since i have never been there before. After some discussions, "Blood Diamond" by Leonardo DiCaprio was our movie choice for the night. Our plan was to go Orchard for my dinner celebration before heading for the movie. Worried that there might be a traffic jam, he decided to try another route to Orchard instead of our usual route. Guess where we ended up?
Serangoon Road! *Faint* That was the upteen times that we lost our way while trying to go somewhere. Pity i cannot provide much help in this situation even if i wanted to. Asking me for direction is like asking me how many strands of hair i have on my head. I am clueless! I know i am a singaporean and by right a singaporean should know his/her way better than an Ang Moh. I am embarrassed and almost regret to say that i am ABSOLUTELY the last person that you should ever look for to get directions. (everyone please take note!) You ask me 'A', i may answer you 'Z'. Yes... i know you are laughing at this point. Go ahead. I am used to it. In the end, We wasted about 30 mins on the road :(
Blur Ang Moh + Blur Queen = Blur Couple Who Cannot Find Their Way. Get it?
FINALLY we arrived at our destination and decided to get the tickets first before having our dinner. Strangely, we did not see "Blood Diamond" on the Movie listing there. He took out the movie listing that he printed out beforehand for a second look. Oh my god! He saw the wrong Cathay! The movie listing was for Cathay Orchard. (He thought that was the one at Dhoby Ghaut) and the one at Dhoby Ghaut is actually 'Cathay The Cathay Cineplex'. Seems like they did not screen this movie there or probably it was already taken down. Actually i was thinking why do they have to give it such a name? Obviously confusing people right? There is no meaning to the name. (or is there?) Something like 'Cathay Dhoby Ghaut' is at least easier to identify with. Agree anyone? Eventually, we were left with no choice but to switch to GV Plaza next door.
As our stomachs were already growling by then, we decided to take our dinner inside that 'Cathay' building. He asked me to choose and since there was not much choice there and we still had a movie to catch, 'Billy Bombers' was chosen as 'our dinner'.
The worst was yet to come. It was 9pm when we entered the restaurant. We picked our orders with only 30 mins left before the movie starts. He asked the waiter to check the duration of the orders just in case. Before the waiter returned to inform us, that blur man retrieved his movie listing again for another look. To our horror, he realised that the movie at GV Plaza starts at 9.15pm instead! He must have assumed that the show starts at almost the same timing at all the cineplex. In the end we had to cancel our orders and pathetically, went 'Subway' to dabao our dinner to bring into the cinema.
Somehow we ended up rushing again even though we supposed to have sufficient time.
What an ultimate messup!
Lucky the saving grace from that whole incident was that the movie was better than we expected. Leonardo's acting skill was really superb! *Thumbs Up* The movie was actually quite touching and stirred the emotions in me. As for the storyline, it was refreshing as in it touches on social issue as compared to the usual stuffs like romance,comedy or horror theme. It kind of change my perspective of those carats that most women craves for, probably not aware that somewhere in the third world country, people are suffering because of these 'stones'. I guess next time i may have to think twice before even considering buying those 'blings blings'. Everyone should watch that movie. Highly recommended!
As for that dumb man, he said that he will compensates me with another 'proper dinner' and bring me out to get something for myself. Actually if i have a choice, i would rather he compensates me with more of his time. Even though things did not turn out as expected (yet again), at least this time round i can really see his effort and sincerity in trying to make me happy. Meanwhile, he gave me a giant Hershey's Kisses chocolate that day. It was the first time i saw such a big Hershey's Kisses! (About 8cm in height!) My stupid brother refused to believe that was a Hershey's Kisses till i showed him the packaging. Wonder where that dumb man got it from? Hmm...
Decided to post this picture cos it reminds me of the "五指山", where Sun Wu Kong was pinned under the mountain by the buddha's palm. Haha... ya ya... i know i am very bo liao.
Gosh... I am almost reaching mid twenties! Demoralising man... I wish i could see more, do more and learn more. Actually, there are a lot of things which i hope to achieve in life but i always ended up with excuses like "maybe next time" or delay it further. All the talks and no actions... Sigh~ I got to change this bad habit of mine before it is too late. Like i said before, time will not wait for you and how many precious time can we afford to lose?
On the day(28th Jan) when i celebrated my birthday in advance with my nutpals, news filtered through that Taiwanese actress, Xu Wei Lun met with a serious car accident and was in a coma. It was reported that she needed 10,000 cc of blood! Can you imagine how much blood is that??? Unfortunately, she did not survive through the ordeal despite words of encouragements and prayers from all her loved ones. To make it worse, she was only 28 when she passed away just like that. She did not even had the chance to say her final farewells to her family, friends and loved ones. Although i am not exactly a fan of her, it saddens me that someone so young, pretty and talented left this world when she should have a long journey ahead of her. Life is so fragile and unpredictable. Therefore, i decided to cherish and treasure all my loved ones even more from now on. At least i will not be looking back in regrets when i reflect on my past.
Anyway, back to the main topic. I was supposed to meet the nutpals at bukit batok interchange on that same day. Even though i was late, surprisingly i was the first to reach. (That was what i thought initially) Shortly after, Peanut came and suddenly asked me this question:
"What is your age?"
Sensing something suspicious, i hmm and ahhh before finally saying 24 and tried to act blur that i forgot my age. At least i am right to say i am still 23 at that point of time since it was an advanced celebration. Peanut was expecting me to say 24. Haha...
Then she handed me this:
First clue: "8 x 5" My god! They wanted to play games with me. Oh no! Frankly speaking, at that point of time, i was not really in the right frame of mind to play the game. So naturally, my immediate reaction was:
"8 x 5 = 40 lah! What does it represent i really don't know"
I begged peanut for some clues and she hinted me to sing it out.
I was like, "to the tune of what?"
I started to secretly question myself did i leave my intelligence somewhere. Eventually, i managed to guess the correct answer. Phews~
Click Play to know the answer
Sounds familiar? This song is by Justin Timberlake (I love him man!) The song title is "I'm lovin It". Apparently, this song was used in Mcdonald's TV Commercial. So the answer is Mcdonald. Faint right?~~~ O_o Ba la ba ba ba~ (I just realise that there are only 8x4. Haha...) Went to Mcdonald and saw Rong waiting patiently there. (Or maybe she was already cursing & swearing at me for taking such a long time)
"So your beckham will be playing in which country in future?" she asked
"America lah..." This is easy. Hehe...
She passed me my second clue:
Seems like i got to guess what that weird symbol pointing to a building meant and then "Go find your cousin". Again, begging for more clues, they told me that the key word is "Symmetrical" and "Mirror reflection" I almost gone crazy trying to figure out what is that weird symbol. Rong even wanted me to kiss her to get more clues but i simply refused :p Finally with more hints, i got the answer.
Notice the Westmall symbol? So W & M=symmetrical.
The "Go find your cousin" part was easy. Upon entering Westmall, I walked straight and Voila! I saw a signboard of my cousin just in front of me! They did not expect the organisers to place the signboard so near the entrance. Lucky me. Hehe... The gals even told me a lame reason why they chose this spot. Notice the rice cooker there? Rice cooker = 饭锅 which leads to 郭宝钻, which is my chinese name. Both words have "Guo" in it. -_-"' *Faint for the second time
At this point, Coconut appeared and asked me to say out my nick in our gang. See the reluctant expression on my face? I was forced to say "Pau" Arrgh!!! I got my third clue:
What the heck is 624??? It can represents a lot of things. My brain cells were busy holding funerals among themselves at this stage. The gals even threatened me that this number is significant and will test how strong is my friendship with them. *Stressed* Rong was so impatient that she decided to go to the washroom first while i tried to solve the puzzle. Seriously, i need help! Someone please press the emergency button for me!
Suddenly, it struck me that the number could be groundnut's block number since she lives just beside westmall. The gals even said that if i felt that was the answer, i could take a look there and they would just follow me wherever i go. Well, i guess i got to take a gamble then.
Look at Coconut sniggering behind my back!
Seems like i am entering a twilight zone!
Almost lost my way while looking for block 624.
Finally found block 624 but all i saw was an old couple hugging and behaving intimately at the bench. Oops! But where is Donut?
Seems like she shifted to another block due to 3 reasons:
1. She waited too long for me (Apologies!)
2. The intimate old couple <3
3. There are cats (Donut claimed that she is suffering from zoophobia - fear for all animals)
After searching around the nearby blocks, i came face to face with this:
Donut holding a knife!
Turns out they planned a surprise for me! Very touched! :')
Cutting the cake - It was a good choice that they chose a chocolate cake. I loves chocolates! The cake turned out better than we expected as the chocolate coating was really thick! Yummy~
Went "Gone Fishing" for dinner. If only groundnut and Angela were here too. Then we will be one big happy family!
Finally i got a pair of roller blade - partly sponsored by my nutpals :)
A personal gift from Donut! I really love this earrings!
Received a second surprise on 1 Feb! In fact, i did not notice that there was an envelope attention to me on my living room table the previous night, as i was out that night. It was a birthday card hand-made by the nutpals! Oh my god! Totally did not expect them to give me a second surprise through the mail. *Shocked* Donut told me that they wanted to cheer me up as they noticed that i looked moody recently. Really appreciate the effort that they put in this time just to make my birthday a memorable one for me. I love my nutty pals! :)
Another hand-made card! This time by my SIM cliques - Amy, Jas, Zhi Yun & Tim :)
A black jacket from them! Fits perfectly too! Actually it was one of the items which i plan to get all along. This gift came at the right time. All thanks to my SIM pals! Yeah~
A box of assorted chocolate truffles (6 pieces) from Godiva! The price is also VERY NICE- $35 for 6 small pieces, which works out to about $5.80 for each piece! Lucky he is someone who knows how to appreciate good chocolate since both of us are chocolate lovers :) I managed to try 1 bite and it was delicious! Glad that he likes it too :) By the way, mine is a "honmei (prospective winner)-choco." Hee...
