Chinese New Year
Soooo hot lar! I cannot wait till it rains, it is so hot that I am actually scared to go out of the house. My aunt and cousins came down for a visit along with my adorable niece. We had a great time, talking about stuff over lunch and then later went to Jonker walk to look for antique furniture. I was dreading the trip to town, so I geared up properly, wrist band (to wipe the sweat off my head) and sun glasses and I was amazed to see Melaka was literally deserted! We passed many houses bearing the red cloth draped accross their door frames, but the wierd thing was, almost all the houses were......locked up, no one at home....I was like huh? whoa some celebration huh? hehe
My aunt and cousins just came back from the U.K. trip they just recently got back from and the usual ritual is, buy chocolates for relatives, so I had my fair share of Flake and Kit Kat. hehe. I already decided on what to wear for the Impressions PROM 2005 Sparc/MMUBC/Tourism Club. Simple but tasteful I have to say. Nothing fancy pantsy..hehe. No connection is killing me..I think I already mentioned that in my earlier blog entry. I can hear the fireworks outside my house, I guess the CNY are just beginning huh when everything is cool and nice, not duing the day when it is blazing hot. MIGHT go to PD tomorrow, but yet to tell dad, cos I have a feeling he wouldnt want to go, so basically I am throwing gems up in the air, he just hasn't caught them yet. Today had a clean up at my house, contrary to the Chinese, where cleaning is like a Taboo on CNY, but hey we aint celebrating. hehe. We had our Chinese New Year eve dinner at Secret Recipe, dad had Lamb Chops, I had Chicken Kebab and mom had this Singaporean Laksa and my lil bro had his favorite Tiramisu (he wasnt that hungry). SUPRISINGLY there was another smal elderly chinese couple having dinner there too! hehe and they had the works, Milkshakes, Slices of Cakes, Soups, Salads and a few main dishes.
Later on that night, around 10.15pm, my dad and I were sort of lazy and didnt really know what to do, so we decided to go to Tesco, just for the hell of it, since it closes at 1am on festive occasions heheh. There were not many people around that time and it was really suprising, where are all the Malaccans?? After getting bored in Tesco, my dad and I hit the mamak stall, where another favorite past time was going on, watching Wrestling on big screen tv with a teh tarik in hand. It was sort of interesting as I gave up wrestling a few years ago but we still watched it anyway...because...yes..we were bored. Went back around 12am and I was STILL bored, and glued myself to the Tv, relying on Astro to quench my boredom and it sorta worked.

Holiday Dilemma and A Wierd Dream
Here goes, my normal bitching about how boring my holidays are. Sigh, this time I think it can be considered the most boring holiday. Thank god I have my laptop to entertain me. Last night I was watching Star World on Astro for sooo long, until the shows that I have already watched are repeating themselves. That was around 1.30am and then I had a call from a friend and we talked and talked till about 2.30am hehe. So by this time I was ready to switch off, then around 7am, dad woke me up cos we had some work to do.
Yeah his work consist of things that I wouldn't even bother doing, after pretending to be asleep, I summoned enough energy to get up and go to my room door and locking it. yiippeee! Now I can't hear my mom or my dad bitching about me not getting up, so i carried on sleeping. I had the wierdest dream, I am still trying to remember what the dream is about, all I know that it was wierd, it involved a photoshoot, a some sort of a convention which a bunch of friends and I were attending, I remember a few faces, Alex Ravin, Fade, Shakir, Nisha, nisha's 4yo sister Dhurvee(Don't know why she was there hehe), Sandhya, Ash, Joey, Zamir, ok lar I remember quite a few people hehe and a few other people who I don't quite know but were on talking terms, as if we had known each other for quite some time. I know it was wierd and all, but I had a feeling that it was in some sort of Hotel. Oh yeah I remember finding a car, hehe, if i am not mistaken it was an old Toyota, one of those small ones. Don't ask HOW the car came into the dream, but it was there. You know how wierd dreams are, don't you?...Then I remember going to fill up the car with petrol cos it was running low.
I was on the way to change my clothes or have a bath, something along those lines and thats when I came accross a group of people in yellow, all staring at a person whose picture is being taken. I am not too sure who the person was but he did seem familiar and then the girls were like going all hyper when he was posing for his shots. Then after having my shower and changing clothes, the yellow people were still there gawking at the dude whose picture was being taken. sigh. A hard dream to decipher, and it doesnt stop there, then I was on the way to join Ravin and all, at this convention thingy, and I got lost. I think that was the time when I got up glanced at my watch and it was 1.30pm. So i just lay in bed listening to whether anyone was at home, i heard mom on the phone, and the tv on.
After taking my shower, my mom smiled at me and said "You better finish your breakfast AND lunch", pointing to the table, cold pancakes, orange juice, cold coffee and chicken rice. I didnt think that I could eat it all but hey, to my suprise, I managed to finsh it.
OK lar, this holiday is not that bad, considering there are no little cousins all running around making too much noise. I was so bored, I think i finished watching all the tv series in my laptop atleast twice. As usual, I never fail to mention during every holiday, I can't wait till classes start again.
