This CNY

Is the first year we're having proper celebrations as married couple, like mentioned previously.

初一:

Took a pic first before going to daddy's, then to AMK.
Had lunch @ in-laws'.

Relatives from both sides (FIL & MIL) were there... total about 50 people!
Amusing ourselves :)

Planned to go for a movie together that evening. A few of us seconded CJ7 while the rest for Ah Long Pte Ltd. Eventually, we gave in. So in the late afternoon, after hours of snacking, bumming around & photo-taking, we walked to AMK Hub to get tickets for the 8pm show. Then some bites & chats again at Mac's.

Went home to take a shower before meeting again at the cinema lobby. Hubby, June & I were queuing for popcorns & drinks when I took a glance at our 8 tickets. And to my horror, I thought I saw 4.30pm on the tix. Took a 2nd & 3rd look in case my eyes were playing tricks. Still 4.30pm, date: 7 Feb. It was 7.50pm then. Told June & hubby & we all went blank for a moment. Went to the ticketing counter & spoke with the girl who issued us the tickets. She admitted it's her fault & re-booked us on the following evening's show as that night's slots were all taken up by then. We're very unhappy for having to make a wasted trip but frankly it's our mistake too for not checking. 6 of us went to get the tickets but none checked. Hmm...

Since we're already out, decided to go for ktv. Stayed till 12.30am & had fun.

初二:
Had lunch at home, like every year's 初二. Then went to 3rd aunt's (MIL's sis) place.

Aunt CT was lucky to have a big 'roof terrace' just outside her unit which is rarely used by neighbours who stay further.

Sent MIL home & met again in less than 2 hours for movie. Thereafter, we all drove to Sin Ming for supper at the famous prata place.

Reached home near 12am.


初三:

Lunch at 5th aunt's (mum's sis) place. Then to another aunt's (mum's brother's wife).


After the visitings, we sent mum & another aunt & her hubby (this one's 6th aunt) back to our home. We supposed to go for a movie but hubby didn't mind giving them a ride first :) Good also... I could claim my parcel from the guardhouse earlier. I made an online purchase & hoped to have it before CNY but it only arrived on Sat. We're all out when the UPS guy called. Told him to leave it at the guardhouse. Upon reaching home, I called the guardhouse so we wouldn't have to wait. But the guard said nothing for me! And there's no one by the name of Mustafa!

Just when we're wondering whether it's wrongly delivered to the development next to ours, the UPS guy called to confirm our suspicion.

On the way to next door to claim my parcel.

Yeah! Finally got my mis-delivered article :D

Hubby checking our mailbox

After solving the mystery, we headed to Causeway Point, intending to catch CJ7. But tickets were sold out for the 2 time slots that we wanted. So we went ahead to have an early dinner @ Crystal Jade.

Lion dance!

One of the lions who passed by our table posed for hubby... "It" was so near us that it couldn't fit into our camera hehe.

Returned home right after dinner... the earliest among the last 4 days (on CNY Eve we reached home also close to 12am & only slept at 3am+!). Watched [Lust, Caution], borrowed from hubby's colleague.

Sunday, besides the usual errands, we caught up with some rest.. but still not enough. And the thought of going back to work was just dampening.
