CNY 2009: Day 01

Woke up at 8.20am into the year of the Golden Ox. Went downstairs and greeted dad and GM. Then, I came up and started blogging about yesterday. Before that, I turned on the TV for GM to create the CNY mood.

I blogged till about 9am and went downstairs to eat the breakfast that dad bought. I ate the Roti Planta. It was fresh but only tasted normal. Next, all of us changed and got ready to go visiting.

At about 10.30am, we left the house. As usual, our first stop was my grandfather's siblings house. Moments after we arrived, SS and family did so too. We then stayed there for about an hour eating (dad's auntie makes nice cookies and cakes) , drinking (yummy tea too) and talking before we left.

J was having fever so we had to go back home. We spent about half an hour at home watching TV and lazing around. We then moved on to our next stop without mum and J. The second stop was GM's eldest brother's house.

I didn't realize until then that they stayed directly opposite the shop lots where out exam hall was!! They were having lunch when we arrived. As usual, the adults did the chatting while we kids entertained ourselves.

At about 2pm, we left the place. We then drove to Kepong to visit SS's mother. PP made her once-in-a-year-CNY "Zai Choi" (Vegetarian noodles). I ate some of that and also ate some (quite alot) of her snacks! Oops!

We were watching Kungfu Mahjong 2 till about 5pm. Then, GM went in to try the Zai Choi. After that, we said bye and left. In the car, we called GTA and told him we were coming. We then went to his house.

We were at his door but nobody was there. So, dad called GTA. Few minutes later, he came and welcomed us. He was walking the dogs earlier that's why he couldn't hear us. Went in and wished GG and PP Happy CNY.

As usual, we spent some time walking around the house. The adults chatted too... The only difference today was that the dogs were let out to run (usually not when guests are here). Amber kept going to E and even licked her! E got scared and went far away.

After warming up, LC, M and I decided to play with Amber. Patting Simba was a failure because he'll just walk away when you do it. Occasionally, Simba and Amber would go down and play with each other. It was fun to watch...

At about 6.30pm, we left GTA's house without E (E followed GG, PP and GTA to 97 for porridge). The rest of us then went around looking for a vegetarian restaurant. Finally, we decided to eat at Section 17.

The restaurant was packed so we decided to eat outside. We weren't that hungry so we just ordered 1 Lotus wrapped glutinous rice and 2 dishes of noodles. Few of us then ordered Longan Sea Coconut.

The rice was ordinary (what do you expect form a vegetarian restaurant, right?). But, the Sea Coconut was quite good. They also gave quite a generous amount of ingredients (although they charged RM5).

SS paid the RM 45++ bill and we left. Reached home at about 9pm. About 15 minutes later, we wanted to visit CM in CKK's house. Just as we stepped out of our door, CM and family plus AP, KK and YM came too.

They stayed for about 30 minutes before going home. Meeting those babies was quite a fun time. After they left, we continued to watch TV. M, J and I watched the ending (last 30 mins) of Shopaholics and Guess Guess Guess CNY 2007 Special (till 12.30am).

It was late and I was already tired. I then quickly went to brush my teeth. Immediately went to bed after that...
