2007?
1) Steamboat at home once again, once again stuffed ourselves silly with enough to make leftover noodles the next day. Uncle who showcased the N70 last year told us the story of how within some 2 weeks of being a proud owner of the N70, he dropped it in a coffeeshop and it went missing. Oh dear. Sis and us experimented with video calling (we could see ourselves in her camera haha) until she screamed to stop as her phone bill may skyrocket. Self-congratulations required: manage to play about with video calling while not revealing fact to parents that Wii have new phone *hush hush*. Not yet, at least.
2) This year our initial plan of watching a CNY movie was rather last-minute, which resulted in us going to 1U, commenting on the high population of ahbengs and ahlians, taking a look at the queue at the ticket counter, and going back home. Next day Wii made the smarter move of booking online. CNY movie for this year? The Protege. Good movie.
3) Different job now means Wii weren't so keen on taking the week off just like that (not part time anymore, got limit to off days) and since no one had a definite plan for visitations yet Wii didn't plan our leave early. All Wii knew was that Tuesday morning was Twilight CNY in Klang, Wii're waiting for our Imperial Chronicler to write the report write the report write the report Wii've uploaded the pics for you already sorry it took one week to upload them.
Luckily word was out for visitations on Khamis petang (evening? afternoon?) so Wii took the afternoon off. Picked lad before heading to the twins' place, but lad almost ignored us when Wii reminded him of KennySia's CNY videoclip of little girls going 'Hahahahahahahaha...' This year's visitation had quite a fair bit of retro gaming - taught the guys how DOSBox works, which led to Golden Axe and Gods and the hunt for old DOS games. Then it was over to ours (with a quick detour to Burger Kings) where the Dreamcast once again saw life - just so that esteban could play Power Stone 2 and the others had another spot of retro, Golden Axe to the end and Streets of Rage 2. Wii tried to persuade lad about the merits of Prince of Persia, to no avail.
Onwards to lad's place after that, since we've all on different occasion visited esteban while at the same time visiting his sis's Wii. That was before what was known as the Incident With The Power Serve. The day ended at lad's for dinner (thank you lad's mum! Very generous but so sorry Wii were all feeling full for reasons unknown) with word puzzles and fiddly fireworks.
3) Friday night was the Klangite annual CNY, this year there weren't many around since some went back outstation during the week. Left 5 of us only to play Blackjack (although ayheng brought Carcassonne, Coloretto, Bang! and Wii brought That's Life upon request as contingency). Good thing there was Absolut Peach to keep us company...so much so that Wii zonked out in the car upon reaching home. Mana tahu at 2am-3am the Heineken keg still alive, haiz.
Is that it, then? Still, the essentials are there - steamboat dinner, CNY movie with sis, visitations here and with Klangites, numerous oranges to eat, bak kwa to eat (and to hide from others), the horrendous feeling of going back to work once the long holidays are over...
