Actually it's still drizzling a lil. Caught it while hubby's driving on CTE, towards home. I could see the whole semi-circle spread across the whole sky... too wide for my phonecam to capture.
Simply beautiful.
When we're done with lunch, had just enough time for me to remove my gel nails in FEP before catching a 4.15pm movie (Look For A Star) at Lido; we used the vouchers given by one of hubby's aunts so it's free!
It's a dreamy show but we love Andy Lau ;)
After the movie and a big tub of popcorns, we shopped around... Thought of getting a pair of flats but couldn't find anything suitable.
Left Orchard before 9pm, only then that we decided to make a short visit to sis & niece who're in Sentosa and sis had been persistant in inviting us over.
What's in the pot:
Abalone, Shark's Fin, Fish Maw, Dried Scallop, Prawns, Mushroom, Chicken Drumstick, Cuttlefish Ball, Broccoli, Lotus Root, Cabbage, Beancurd Skin.
Hubby played a few sessions of card games with the siblings & uncle.
See, fat uncle's showing off his cards!
Can't do without the family pic every year
About 4pm, we left AMK & visited daddy, then had an early dinner in Northpoint's Xing Wang Hong Kong Cafe... the only restaurant that was opened on 初一 and served a very decent meal. Thereafter we returned home, had just enough time to take a shower & redo my makeup. We're meeting again at 8.30pm for a movie at J8. Hubby & I would rate the movie 1.5/5. We didn't think highly of it even before watching but it's all for the family get-together.Took some shots after lunch & while waiting for aunt no.6
6th aunt & hubby finally arrived after being late for nearly an hour. We went on to another aunt's (mum's late brother's) in Kim Tian together. Hubby & I left 3-ish & went to Vivo for a movie. Right after, we rushed to attend my ex-secondary classmates reunion at one of the guys' place in Pasir Panjang. Was interesting to see quite a few familiar faces after a long long time."Back to the Basic" pose with June's very oriental vase.. haha
Then to one of Vince's colleague's in Punggol for a late lunch. Had a very interesting chat with the wife of hubby's boss... exchanged beauty tips;) Stayed there for 2 hours & we left for the third destination - Gina's (da jie) in Bukit Batok. Supposed to be a poolside affair but the other girls arrived too late so we just stayed indoor, at her place.Been such a long time since we last took a picture together...
The gals stayed for dinner but we had to go. Meeting hubby's family for dinner. We'd booked a table at Swa Garden in MacPherson only to realise they only served limited variety during CNY period. This very old restaurant is hubby's & my most fav teochew restaurant, thanks to the good recommendation of one of hubby's colleagues. You've to make a reservation especially on weekends otherwise chance of getting a table as walk-in is very slim. Anyway we planned to revisit when the normal ala carte menu's back. Ended up having "zhi cha" at a coffee shop nearby. The food was not too bad.Our company's CNY Lo Hei on my first day of work.
Next to me was the Deputy Chairman.
Lo Hei!
My 4th this year and the 6th for hubby!Singing time
