**I decided to blog on Valentine's day because I have nothing better to do that this. Spending my Valentine's this year with my rilakkuma, my laptop, my family and also the 20++ cats in Neko Astume. Nope, ain't lonely at all!

Whenever CNY is around the corner, you can hear radio stations blasting CNY songs and wishing luck and prosperity to the listeners. If I were to translate most of the idioms they always use during CNY in chinese, the gist of it is this: "The spring wind blow blow, flowers bloom, everything steady, money come, luck come, huat ah!"

This year's CNY is one of the best for me. The first day of CNY fell on the 8th of February which was a Monday. Many relatives of mine took the whole week off to celebrate the festive season. This year is also the first and perhaps the last year I could celebrate CNY with zero worries. No homework, no assignment, no folios, no quiz, no tests, no exams. Absolutely nothing. This could be a reason why I find this year's CNY more fun than ever because I wouldn't need to think about completing unfinished works and studying for endless tests. Teehee xp

On the day of the reunion dinner, Ah Liang, Mel, and Zhi Xuan were already at ah ma's house when we went there in the morning. We didn't really do much that day. Mel and I wanted to learn the dance to a few korean songs in the afternoon but in the end we didn't get to learn much hahahah. We spent most of the time in the afternoon with Zhi Xuan talking about stuffs related to my course and conspiracy theories of some famous shows we read online like Harry Potter and Pokemon.

I don't really know how to explain what's conspiracy theory but you can Google it up. The stuffs we read on the internet are basically a mind-blowing explanation to something that happened in a show.

For example, the one I read about Harry Potter said that Harry actually suffers from some split personality disease and the household that took Harry in was actually trying to help Harry. Harry, who didn't realize them as his saviour, saw them as a threat and that's why the movie always revolves the Dursleys seemingly trying to get in Harry's way all the time and how Harry, with his magic, overcomes each obstacle the Dursleys gave him. Harry's hatred towards Dursleys led him to shut himself in the room under the staircase all the time, which means there was no Hermione, no Ron, no Platform 9 3/4, no Hogwarts and of course, no magic. It was all Harry's imagination. He never stepped outside the small room all this while.

Mind blown I know.

We went to a new restaurant for our reunion dinner that night which was located next to Petronas at Lukut. The food was okay. Our family took up 5 tables. We went out for Starbucks after dinner without be jie, ah di and zhi xuan because they went out before we did. The thing that I was disappointed the most is that there were no crowd at all at Waterfront and no fireworks at all!! My parents told us that there were a lot of fireworks at our house later when we went back and I regret going to Waterfront that night. TT

We woke up rather early and went to ah ma's house as usual. While waiting for everyone to wake up and have their brunch Zhi Xuan cut out newspaper and folded them into Ddakji, the one they play in Running man. Yes we were that bored. We went to the cinemas in the afternoon to watch From Vegas to Macau 3. Honestly, it was lousy. I mean some parts are really funny and all but overall I'm like "wth am I watching?" throughout the movie. PSY made a cameo in the movie and his English was not bad.

 I didn't feel very good that day especially after coming back home after the movie. I felt very dizzy and my stomach was bloated despite not eating much that day. Luckily after drinking 100 plus I felt much better or else I think I would've have to miss out dinner with them! (No, I'm not trying to advertise 100 plus lol)

We went to Kim's for dinner at night and this year there was no karaoke. :( and no selfies D; and no cheongsam TT

There's 2 family photos that my uncle took though hahaha

We went to Xing hua's grandparents house around 11.30 because Xing hua's house was under renovation. And again they gambled. But we did play a few round of mafia at the end after they finished gambling. Eugene won a whopping sum of 600++ from what I've heard. Port Dickson's gamble king perhaps?

I got to be the doctor for 2 rounds straight this time. One of the rounds was very exciting yet nerve-wrecking for me because it was down to 4 people including me and if I couldn't save the right person, the mafia won. I purposely saved myself for the past few rounds for 2 reasons:

1) I seriously don't know who the mafia will kill. The probability of me saving the right person is too slim.

2) I don't wanna die so soon, duh.

3) I want to convince the mafia that I am a selfish doctor who keeps saving her own life.

And with that, the probability of me saving the right person at last round is down to 1/3, since the mafia will assume I will be saving myself. I kind of guessed who was the mafia is so by taking him out, the probability is now 1/2. This is where I gambled. I saved the one of the 2 people before and the mafia would probably not want to kill him this time round so I chose the other person instead. PHEW I saved the right person and we won! Hahaha xD

Simon's brother fetched Yu Quan, Hua Wei and me back home and by the time I reached home it was around 2.40 am. It was my first time staying out till so late! Luckily my parents were fast asleep so I didn't get scolded. But I did told them I reached home around 2 the next morning and they were surprisingly chill with it.

Movie time with E jie and family!

We wanted to eat at Morganfield's before the movie at 1.45pm but because my whole family had upset tummy so we didn't go for Morganfield's. The movie we watched was recommended by many on social media, Ola Bola. The movie was very touching and funny at some scenes. Overall not bad, really. So so much better than From Vegas To Macau 3. At night we went to Aunty Lenny's house for her open house buffet and I bumped into my high school juniors but I was too shy to say hi ><

Chu 7.

A.k.a Valentine's day. I spent the whole morning and noon blogging this. My mom's gonna cook something nice this afternoon and I'm looking forward to it hehe xp

That's it for this post! This year is also the first year where I have programs all the way till chu 6. Normally everyone will be going back home during chu 4 and I would be bored again on chu 4. So this year's CNY was very enjoyable to me. :D

I hope you enjoyed your CNY as much as I did. Once again, wishing you all luck and prosperity this year! May you have a fruitful year. <3
