first few days of chinese new year just went past like that.
well.. shall start from the eve of chinese new year.
went for reunion lunch with my grandparents and relatives of dad's side.
by the time we eat finish was evening time.
ate a little before going for a show with my cousin's family and my family.
we watch Ah Long Pte Ltd. quite a funny show.
anyway, before that, it was about the time of reunion dinner that flashbacks of my grandma's passing just keep appearing in my mind.
my heart sank and all that was showing in my mind was the whole scenario.
from the time i left house for reunion dinner to the time when my uncle kept calling us while we're in the car to tell us grandma might not make it.
from how we rushed to how i saw my grandma lying lifelessly on the bed.
it's like watching the whole thing all over again and the feeling is totally unbearable.
tears just filled the eyes and pictures of grandma filled the mind.
i wouldnt say i have gotten over her yet.
i still miss my grandma.
felt better after telling poo about it. thanks dear.
first day of chinese new year is the usual routine of going to my grandparent's place (dad's side).
slacked awhile there before going to my great grandma's house as well as my great grandaunt's house to bai nian.
after dad's side, we proceeded to my uncle's place to gather since this year is a little different, no longer granny's place.
well well. stayed there til after dinner before heading home.
second day, almost the whole of my mum's side went to kukup, malaysia together.
we booked a coach and off we went there.
it was a fun trip there with lots to tell.
my dear cousin forgotten to bring his passport and he was the story of the day.
at the custom, he realised that he did not bring his passport and so we had no choice but to go without him.
and he, on the other hand, rushed home in a cab to take it and back to the custom and made his own way to kukup to find us.
was so proud of him! coz' all of us thought he'll have to spend lots of cash travelling by cab all the way but he took bus in malaysia and spent only 9 ringgit.
what an achievement.
anyway, we ate seafood lunch and headed to the "chalet" which is an attap house above the waters. so cool.
the toilet is those whereby ur body wastes just go straight into the waters.
and the water we used to shower was superbly cold.
we had to use those scoop with a pail and not those shower kind. i enjoyed myself just spending time together with my relatives and having chats with my cousins! (:
stayed there for a night and came back to singapore on the third day.
went straight to my uncle's house and stayed til dinner.
on sunday, woke up early to have breakfast with my family before going to my cousin's place.
brought poo poo there and he was happy to see my dad's side after so long.
my family left after lunch to go to my aunt's place (mum's side).
sat there not long before my brother and his girlfriend together with poo and i left.
kor fetched us to chinese garden and poo and i took train from there to meet ding dangs.
we met for dinner as our dear meiyu is going to thailand for ITP.
hope she is fine there and that she'll enjoy herself.
take care!! (:
that's about all for my chinese new year so far.
however, time passes really slow when you're working...
today is the start of ITP which is also my first time working.
was both excited and nervous last night.
woke up this morning, had breakfast and headed off to jp to meet derrek and ka yan who are attached to the same company as me.
we went there together and missed a stop, walked a distance to our company.
the moment i enter, my stomach started stirring. i was nervous i guess.
the HR person brought us to a meeting room where we are posted to different departments.
i was posted to the QA department where i mainly do computer work, analysing the defects and stuff. i thought that i'll have hands-on but mine is in the office.
i dont know if i should be happy or not.
office is nice coz' there's air-con and you can sit but it can get kind of boring if you have nothing to do. there's how i felt today.
everyone seems busy except me. i had nothing to do but stare into space or into the computer in front of me.
laboratory work might be more interesting but one thing, it is dangerous especially my company deals mainly in electroplating, it is very toxic to work in the laboratory.
but well, after feeling sad for a day.
i've decided to accept what i have been given.
like what my cousin's say, maybe it's God's plan since my nose is sensitive to work in a toxic environment.
my supervisor is not here today so maybe that's why i have nothing much to do yet.
i hope to have more things to do and learn more stuff.
and so, i shall look forward to work tml.
may my work be fun and interesting but not too stressful! hee.
got to sleep soon.
nites!!
