Chinese New Year already

Yippee.. Chinese New Year already.. Eek. So fast..

We had a new year dinner yesterday. It started out rather hilarious. Dinner was supposed to start at 8pm and when we got to the restaurant we saw all these fire engines n firemen outside the restaurant n there was water EVERYWHERE! The first thing that popped into my head was, "Wow, cool! Did the restaurant we book burn down or something?" Turns out it wasn't our restaurant but there must've been one burning behind us perhaps due to the firecrackers. And there were plenty of lion dances too~!! Wahh.. make me miss Alex so much. *ouch*

Dinner was okay. Pretty much overate. The food wasn't excellent but it was good enuff to pass. I wasn't actually too happy with dinner initially bcos I always thought that Chinese New Year dinner should've been a family thing but my sis ended up inviting like 5 of her friends which annoyed the hell out of me (Even my real dad made a comment on how my sis doesn't think when I told him about it today). Thankfully 2 of them didn't make it. So the dinner ended up going pretty well. I'm pleased..

I'm so excited. We've selected all the furniture for the new apartment n we've basically purchased most of them already. Now all we gotta do is wait for the painter, cleaner n flooring people to finish n that's it! I can move in!! Wheee.. Almost there! Almost there! Can't wait to go to Ikea n get my stuff. Yeah.. I get the cheapy.. My sis got all the expensive furniture from Domayne n Freedom n all that places. I got my stuff from Ikea. Simple. Ahhaha.. She called me cheap. I called her high maintenance. She called me cheap again. I said at least no one will leave me for someone easier to take care of. Ahaha... a joke with subtle knives hidden within.

Anyways, Happy Chinese New Year to y'all. I called my dad tonight. First time in ages. Feel so guilty. Ever the irresponsible daughter. I'm sure my sis felt the same about me last night when I supposedly didn't think to call her when I was coming home late from Aun Joe's place. Bleah
