CNY 2012 Part II & Chicken Pot

Are u very choosy on shoes? I am. I took ages to find a pair of covered shoes that I like. My covered shoes are torn and I got a new one from Rockster at Cine. :D

Photobucket

I think this is really pretty. The size 4 pair was so cute on display! But mine is not as cute since it is bigger!
First time that I bought shoes for more than $100. :D



I am very very happy that Jun Wen has gained a few pounds but sadly, i gained some weight myself. At this rate, we can never reach a weight equilibrium. Being really evil, I brought his favourite Ferroro Rochor from home for him. As the saying goes, "God, if u can't make me thin, please make all my friends fat." Of course in my case it will be "Please make my boyfriend fat." Lol. I came clear when my plot flopped. He saw through it. :D

Now I can't piggyback him anymore. He is deemed as too heavy.
29th Jan was our 3 years 8 months! And we went to Nex Chicken Pot for dinner. :P Jun Wen has been dying to try it. He just kept mentioning it to annoy me. Lols.


Photobucket

There was a long queue but I guess two people get seats easily. We were ushered to our seats about 5 minutes after we started queuing. This was our table with the empty pot. We were so looking forward to having our chicken pot.
We ordered the couple set that comes with shrimps, chicken and rice.

Jun Wen went jogging in the morning and came to bathe in my house. He wore my Temasek Poly tee. Lol. Kinda small for him though. His hair was still wet from the bath. Lol. And a secret about him was that he has never comb his hair since young. There wasn't a single comb in his room. But he still has nice looking hair. It's an unfair world. LOL.




Photobucket

The bowl of peanuts served to us. Jun Wen loves them! He was talking.. eating.. talking.. eating.. My mind was laughing. Lol. I am so evil! Tried all ways to make him fatter!





Photobucket

Me! Looking pale. Been receiving comments from people that I look tired. Do I? Why do they say that? I didn't realise I am tired. I am not. :D




Photobucket

The shrimps with lots of nian gao below. Simba was disappointed. Lols.





Photobucket
Likes this photo x1000.
Look like some prawn advertisement.




Photobucket

The chicken in the chicken pot came soon after. We got to choose if our pot is spicy or not. We didn't know we have this option since everytime we walked past this place, we smell spice! Lots of them so much so that I thought the name of this restaurant is Chilli Pot. Lol.



Photobucket


He was disappointed once more on the chicken. There were more bones than chicken.
Spent $26.90 for these two pots and he said we could have a steamboat buffet at Bugis with this money. Lols. It was the first time I saw Jun Wen so annoyed by the contents of a restaurant. He must have really look forward to eating there but was really let down by the food.





Photobucket


The chicken bones and the chicken.





Photobucket

The steamboat that my family had at home.




Photobucket

Every second day of CNY was the day I visit Simba's uncle's house. This is his daughter's room. She loves piglet from Winnie the Pooh alot. That was Simba holding up one of them.



Photobucket

Took a candid of his relatives playing mahjong.



Photobucket

And Jun Wen's mum spotted my camera.





Photobucket

Some were singing. I was surprised that the neighbours were friendly even though the noise level was so high in this house.




Photobucket

Simba, Simba's cousin and his wife-to-be.





Photobucket


His uncle kindly took a photo of us. He asked us why the corners are darkened and Simba's cousin lied that his fingers were blocking the lens. The uncle became really puzzled after a few photos. Lols.
Poor uncle!





Photobucket

See the girl in black dress? She is Jun Wen's cousin and always talks to him. Lol. She has gotten Jun Wen to play Black Jack for $2 each game. Lol.
Then she went broadcasting it to the other cousins. Hearing that the bet is $2, every cousin over 21 came to play. Jun Wen lost quite abit and couldn't believe it. (His life seems to be always smooth and lucky.)





And we had CNY gathering at Joanne's house too. She is really a good host. :D



Photobucket

There were 16 of us. Most brought their bfs or gfs. :D
We saw Jason's new girlfriend for the first time. Like Daniel's girlfriend, she is really friendly. At the end of the gathering, she paid for our taxi fare. Lol. (She stays in Seng Kang, and I took the cab with her. I was initially afraid that it will be awkward, but it isn't!)

Photobucket

We stood around to have our steamboat. :D



Photobucket

And our rice is brown rice.



Photobucket

Her house was filled with CNY deco and her curtain was red too.




Photobucket

And after dinner, we were ready to sing. Joanne's dad is so nice. He set up the karaoke system for us before we came. I remembered the time when I was at her house waiting for my flight and her dad woke up at about 3am to send me to the airport. So nice right!

This is Jason trying to pose as if he was some art. Lol.



Photobucket

The basket of mandarin oranges! Love it. Lol. Gives the house a welcoming feeling. Like the abundant amount of oranges are always ready for exchange. :D





Photobucket

Samuel picking songs. He always starts the ball rolling. Lol. My nightmare again came true when he deliberately sang funnily.



Photobucket

Photo was supposed to be candid but Jason had to pose for it.




Photobucket

Tried it again but he was still aware of the camera.



Photobucket

Took 2 photos of Si Ting and Sam but Sam was dissatisfied with how he looked in them. He thought he looked fat. Hence, he got Song Hua to sit down with Si Ting while he stood behind them, away from the camera. Smart hor!





Photobucket


Photobucket

Then it was mahjong time.






Photobucket

As you know, the few poly friends signed on with the army. And for sometime, they talked about army. Sam was beside me and said he didn't know how to get into the main conversation. He suggested that we count the number of birds in the protrait hung on the wall. There were supposed to be a hundred of them. Joanne said she counted a few times and there were only 99. LOL.



Photobucket

And a group photo before we left for home.
There were 3 couples that have at least a 7-year relationship. They stayed together since poly days. Joanne and bf, Chia Liang and wife, and Wei Jian and gf.


Will be going to Langkawi on 10th Feb. :D Groupon was having a 62% off the Lagoon Resort in Langkawi. We didn't know that it was a five-star hotel until my colleague told me. We were so blur. We only booked our transport last night. It was too last minute and all flights in Air Asia were booked. Jetstar has only a Friday afternoon departure time and we will be still working (Jun Wen can't take leave as he is on course!). We decided on taking Silkair (SGD200 each) but that night it was booked as well.
I fell asleep and woke up the next morning with a msg from Simba that all Silkair flights were fully booked too. I then searched for flights with Tiger Airways and Firefly: From Singapore to Sudang, then from Sudang to Langkawi. It would be 2 separate flights to get there. About SGD200 each in total.

And after a while.. Simba said he booked the Malaysian Airlines with SGD590 each. Omg. We could go Hong Kong or Taiwan with that amount of money.) LOL. He said he didn't get a reply from me that night (I dozed off.) and he just booked it. Hahaha! I think my boyfriend is always willing to spend. He is not willing to take a 10-hour coach at ~SGD50 at the risk of his life and him getting an achy back. (Okie, I admit I was quite willing in order to save money. Lol.)

I have learnt not to be so last minute ever! Lol. We were also very last minute in submitting the flat application documents. I think that's us.

:D
