Got my mudpie fix!

I have craving for TGIF's mudpie since a couple of weeks ago. Jon brought me to TGIF today and oh YES....yummy! I sort of ate the whole cake myself, Jon just took a couple of spoons. But now, I feel really bloated. Gonna stop eating mudpie for a while.

Gong Hee Fatt Choy!

This time around was a bit different. Being a married woman, this is the first time I had 2 celebrations with both families and the *ahem...the joy of giving out angpows and yes..we still received angpows. I always look forward to seeing all my family members gathered together, having a great bonding time with one another. This year, went back a couple of days earlier back to my hometown, SP for a pre-CNY celebration. And we have the newest addition to the family this year, baby Isabelle Ann, little bundle of joy of my 3rd bro, Wan Kian and my sis-in-law, May! What a great joy to see all my nieces and nephew again. They were such a bunch of mischievious and playful kids.

We were back home on Saturday, just in time for a reunion dinner at Jon's side. Didn't take long for us to drive back to KL. No jam at all but for obvious reason coz' we were at the other side of the road heading to KL whilst those going down south, pheww.....the jam started in Sg Buloh itself up to the Slim River toll. Unbelievable, most probably everyone was rushing back just in time for reunion. Reststops along the highway was packed with cars and people. We both hardly drank to avoid the urge of going to the loo. Haha! But anyway, here are the brief summary of what we did for the past few days:

CNY - Day 1

Makan time at Jon's place and thereafter headed to his uncle's place for more makan time and of coz' the thrill of "gambling session" with relatives.(I was hopeless in it, probably just break-even the capital, Jon did win big this time around!" :)

CNY - Day 2

More makan time, went to Ming Palace for a reunion dinner(Mom-in-law's side) and more "gambling session" again after that.

CNY - Day 3

Again, another round of makan time.

BUT tomorrow, I'm BACK TO WORK.....Oh bummer! Took a couple of photos during CNY but was too lazy to upload them. Probably later. The idea of getting up early tomorrow for work...:( *sniff sniff

So people, heres to a Blessed Chinese New Year and have a great PIGGY year.

THERE GOES MY WEEKENDS....

Working non-stop for 2 consecutive weeks has left me without weekends. These days, I lose my temper quite easily...early signs of stress and not having enough sleep. Hubby pointed out that I have been a real nagger these past few days. Sort of finding fault with him in every little thing he does. Thank God for a wonderful session in CG last week whereby our icebreaker was to have everyone repenting a thing or two if there is any. Repented on my repetitious nagging...felt much better after that. But..sigh...have been working my socks off and I am SO looking forward to the coming long hols. I need that long overdue well-deserved break this time around...I'm for sure on a very strict diet for this coming CNY, which is to whack anything I feel like eating. No cutting on carbo and "jaga badan" this time around. :)
