♥ 1st day of CNY 2008

Happy Chinese New Year to all of you!!! Today was quite a tired day to me.

My family went to my grandma’s house to pai nian which is to celebrate the Chinese New Year. I took the two mandarin oranges and gave them to my grandma to wish him well. And my brother gave them to my uncle. Then we sat there for a while. We ate our lunch there and we took photos with my grandma and cousins.

Say Cheese!
After that, my family went to Sentosa to see the flowers. This was the third time that we went to Sentosa consecutively on Chinese New Year. It was because my mother really likes those flowers and wanted to take a good photo of our family. Also, I think that there is no interesting place for us to go during CNY. When we reached the Harbour Station, the place was so crowded with people that there was quite a long queue from the station to outside the Vivo City.


So my father decided to go Sentosa by taking a taxi. It was really hard to take a taxi as most of the drivers need to eat lunch. When it was nearly our turn to take taxi, a bunch of Indian people pushed us away and cut queue and were flagging for taxi. We were so angry that we decided to go back to the Sentosa Express Train to queue up despite many people. As the weather was so hot plus we queued up for almost half an hour before we bought the entry ticket, I sweated a lot and caused my shirt to wet. After we bought the ticket, we queued up to take the mono trail which took us to Sentosa.

When we reached there, we ate the mandarin oranges and started our photo taking journey. The flowers were quite nice and the decorations were creative. Almost in all the areas, people were taking photos with their families and friends. For those areas where the decorations were super beautiful, people need to queue up for their turns in order to take a photo. It was difficult to take a photo as people were moving around and it was crowded. We took quite a lot of shots and sometimes, we asked other people and the staff over there to take photos of our family. Soon, we finished our photo taking and my family went to the counter to see the photos that the staffs have taken before. Then we went home to rest.

When we reached home, I quickly transferred the photos to my laptop. It was because my mother wanted to see. The photos that we have taken are not nice as compared to last year. I wondered why it would be like this.

Then our past neighbours went to our house and we chatted. Her son has grown taller since I saw him last time.


After that, my uncle’s family and my grandpa went to our house to pai nian. I had wanted to ask my cousin want to take any photos as we took the photos on the eve were not quite nice but I was too shy.


In the evening, my uncle’s family and my family went to cinema to watch the local movie which is “Ah Long Pte Ltd”. Although the movie has many creative and funny scenes, somehow I don’t know why I could not laugh. But I think overall, it was quite a nice show.
