CNY Recap, 2006

For 2006, Wii were already doing part-time instead of full-time, thus for the CNY week Wii took an entire week off with no qualms. Muahahaha finally holidays that are on the actual day itself!

1) Wii dragged lad, njapf and her friend around MidValley shopping for clothes, namely Wii were obsessed with getting a t-shirt with long sleeves meant to roll up to the elbows (to complicate matters more Wii wanted it in green). And on CNY Eve Wii managed to get a red SEED tee as well, which ended up with our sis and us wearing red at the dinner table, heh. Dinner was steamboat, and one uncle let us play with his N70.

2) Sis and us watched 'A Chinese Long Story' for our CNY movie, which because Wii had low expectations, turned out not too bad and rather funny (with bad special effects like 2D explosions).

3) The annual Klangite meetup at Vincent's had a big group, with old schoolmates from all classes. Dinner always saw us going back for the chicken and satay, and to finish it with fortune cookies. Usual gambling, Wii thinks Wii left rather early though...

4) Lad and us got into the mood of getting some Chinese garb to wear for CNY. And so we did, from a store in Midvalley. Cost somewhere about RM100? Anyways planned to wear them on the day we did our visitations.

5) Visitations itself started with us arriving late - Wii went for a haircut first, with the stylist using some darn blunt scissors that yanked our hair more than cut it. First visit was to SooJ's (her poh piahs are delish), meeting up with old batchmates Wii haven't seen for a couple of years now. Then over to Paddington's at The Curve for lunch and group photos. Note: the Treasure Box is too much for one person to handle. Fruits yes, but very very sweet.


After lunch we'd visited another friends' house, to admire her house, from the pond that went indoors to the kitchen to her room and bathroom...so much so that someone was suppose to offer up a flat-screen plasma telly as dowry to marry her! Wii spent most of the time sweating in our Chinese garb (surprisingly, while it looks light, it gets very hot despite staying in cool surroundings!) while playing with the putting lane that was set up in her hall.

The group split up after that, with us going onwards to esteban's place. Was it for the GameCube or some NDS-chat Wii can't remember, but what Wii do remember was that Wii noticed that esteban's house had this screen with an Asian motif - so Wii had otousan take pictures of us in Chinese garb using that as background.

Wii thanks Canon Photostitch for this piece of artwork titled 'VS Screen'.

Scene during the game, with colour palatte swapped characters a la Mortal Kombat.

Day ended at lad's, Wii think. Some other day saw us gambling at lad's neighbour, Puddy's, place, with esteban playing Electroplankton.

6) Vague memories of later visits to our pad, where Wii force-fed the visitors KennySia's YouTube of small girls going 'Hahahahahahahaha...' and Monty Phyton's Life of Brian.
