CNY 2008

Happy Chinese New year Everyone!

Finally got the time to get down to do some major updating as requested by many who pop by my blog to find it stagnant since November 2007.

Anyways, life has been pretty much comfortable with me, myself and ken. We kinda see each other EVERYDAY! Not that it’s not good, but now it feels weird if I dun see him for one day and I’ll miss him like crazy.

CNY was really different from the past 20 years. My sis and bro went to my uncle’s house for reunion dinner while I went to ken’s. Everyone at the dinner at my uncle’s said jokingly that I am already married into his family. On the first day of CNY, I went to ken’s mom’s parent’s house in the morning before going to my mom’s eldest brother’s house, and then to ken’s dad’s parent’s house and followed by my dad’s sisters’ houses, and finally to ken’s godparent’s house. We left for home at 8pm and being out the whole day since 730am made us really tired. I guess this is what it is going to be like when we really get married.

Went to bintan over the 2nd day of CNY to the 4th day. Got burnt real badly. I have put up some pics in my facebook so you can view it if you’re free, nothing much though. The food there is really expensive cos the only place you can eat is in the hotel. We kinda had no choice but to stay at Angsana cos Bintan Lagoon was fully booked till the 10th of feb, and bintan lagoon is so much cheaper than any other resorts in Bintan.

There wasn't much activities at Angsana so we had to book a taxi which costs us 20USD for a 2 way trip to Bintan Lagoon to do all the fun stuffs. We did archer-ing which was SGD14 bucks for 20 arrows per person and Dune Buggy which was SGD50 for 1 hour per person. 20 arrows seems to be very little at first, but my arms were way too tired to shoot after the 15th arrow and my arm was super wobbly. I had to give my last 5 arrows away cos I couldn't continue. I didn't get a bullseye, but I had one really close to the inner cicle and I’m proud of it. The Dune buggy seemed like a mistake at first cos I keep ramming into trees and into ditches. The buggy guide had to get off a few times to pull or push me out of whatever I was stuck in. the poor guy asked for a rest half way the journey.

Tanning was a mistake. But the worst part was that we actually fell asleep under the sun for almost 1 hour and didn't even feel the heat. Half my body is burnt and in pain. I cant even take off my top without wincing. I also have 3 different tan lines. One was the super dark tan I got on half of my body from falling asleep, the other was from wearing a sleeveless top to do the dune buggy and the other is my bikini tan line. Ken says I look better with fair skin and I totally agree with him. Cant wait for this ugly tan to fade.

More updating in the future. Toodles for now…
