A Look Back @ CNY '08...

Ok. So the CNY spirit or atmosphere was nothing like previous years. But strangely somehow, this CNY actually turned out to be the most fulfilling one for me. The word is 'fulfilling', and not like what someone told me - packed and exciting. Maybe packed. But NOT exciting. Rather, it's more exhausting than anything. Of coz it doesn't help when you spend the night chatting online til 2 plus in the morning. lolx.

It was fulfilling in the sense that I got to meet my Mum's relatives on the 1st day, Dad's relatives on the 2nd day, in btw meeting a lot of my parents' friends as well, and still managing to squeeze in time to spend with my work colleagues @ Jacqueline's house on 2nd day. Really had a lot of fun there playing the games though hahaha. What musical chairs lar, throwing oranges around lar, CNY greetings. LOL. And of coz, last night was spent with my group of church friends at Dawn's house for dinner. It was good to meet up with them coz I haven't seen them like in ages?!? Really neglecting my choir duties. Tsk tsk =P No thanks to all my Sunday OTs hahaha.. The best of all was getting to meet my good pal Sheldon on 2nd day night after the gathering at Jacq's house. Really glad to have been able to catch up with him and have dinner/supper with him at Tanah Merah. Mee Goreng Pattaya.. Yummz. He is leaving for his Cambodia mission trip tonight. Best of luck Shel and may God be with you always. =)

Of course, the highlight of this year's CNY for me was being able to drive around for once!! Many thanks to my Uncle Lui who agreed to lend me his 2nd car, Toyota Altis to drive around on Saturday. It was really convenient and it really came in handy considering the places I had to go yesterday - Hougang, Novena, River Valley, Lorong Ah Soo and back home. Glad to say I haven't lost my touch with driving yet =P. Really inspires me to work hard to get a car of my own. Ppl say I'm lucky to have such a nice uncle who is willing to lend me his car. I couldn't agree any less.

Yups. A really fulfilling and packed CNY period. Maybe exciting in someways. hahaha. But mostly, EXHAUSTING. wonder how it would be like nxt yr? =)
