Chinese New Year 2010!

Well well well, look who's back. ME!

I reached home from Kelantan yesterday night. I went there for 5 days and 4 nights. If it sounds like a vacation it's not. It's a celebration! Chinese new year oh yea!

This year I was hesitating to go back or not. After much consideration, I've decided to go to my father's hometown anyway. And I think it was the right thing to do!

Day 1: Set off at 6.06am. After about 11 hours of tormenting-ass-hurting-nerve-wrecking-car-ride, reached Kota Bharu, was kinda late, had dinner at Pizza Hut. Bought two new clothes. My only two new year clothes -.-

Day 2: Down to KB. Meet some friends and family. Cousins of course. Had dinner at Noodle station. Yum. Finally got to use Wi-Fi but realise that there wasn't much to do online anyways.

Day 3: Played pool and bowling. Great experience. Still, I never knew the difference between pool, snooker, and billiard. Stayed with cousin Shaun and the rest for dinner while my rest of my family had a barbecue and my dad's friend's. Things were kinda slow and dinner ended only at 10+pm. And when we got back, it's card time. I don't like to call it gambling, I prefer to say that we're encouraging cash flow. LOL. Won a few dollars. Nothing to big of a deal. Got to chat with cousin Alina and Mei Shia. I always thought it was Michelle. Thought wrong I guess. And of course Zi Yan Zi Wei Zi Qing was there to have fun too. They were um, energetic. Haha.

Day 4: Lunched with everyone. Cousin Shaun, Brenden, Aaron, Dan, Dean, went back to Singapore. Right after that I stopped by An Lok Coffeeshop to have a game of chess with the old elderly there. He's my grandmother's sister's husband's brother. Whose surname is also Au. Or is it Aw.. I think Aw. Anyways, he's kinda well known in Kelantan's chess league so yea it was definitely an honour playing who I would call a master. Lost the first two, won the third, lost the fourth, drew the fifth. Kinda crappy on my part but it was great fun. During night time, played cards with Chee Hong and Mei Shia and my sister who eventually quit because of 'financial difficulties.' It was awesome.

Day 5: Home sweet home. Right after another 12 hours in the car.


I just realised something, we went there five days and actually spent one whole day in the car. That sounds really really stupid. Hope to go by plane for the years ahead. Still, not my decision. Happy Chinese New Year people =)
