This is the 1st year my family celebrated CNY away from Kajang. We travelled down to Johore Bharu, to my uncle hse. We started to travel bout 12 pm. The traffic was very heavy, especially at the Seremban Highway. There's nothing amusing sitting in the car only, so i msged Ian for a while, seemed lk his pretty busy with his friends and family. It took us bout 3 hours plus to reach Johore. Uncle brought us to check into Austin Hills Resort. Its a golf resort and man! it was so beautiful! After that, Ta Pak led us to his new house which is in Austin Heights, 1 min from the resort. We looked around, had our reunion dinner which is cartered from the resort. Had a great time talking and playing poker with my cousins. There was also mahjong games. Mathias, my cousin's husband from Germany, joined too. Oh man! He is really good at it, even better than most of us.. paisehnya..haha..This continued until past midnight. I called Ian and chatted for a while. I miss him so much at there. There's fireworks and i think most of the ppl there are quite rich, cuz there so much fireworks around the area and it continued for 30 minutes non-stop. That was the best fireworks i ever saw in my whole life. Not even KL had such beautiful fireworks. The mahjong game continued until 1.30 am in the morning, then we went back to the resort and doozed off..
1st day of CNY
We woke up at 10 something, went to Ta Pak hse for breakfast a.k.a brunch. Then, we start to travel to Singapore. Luckily the traffic was great. Dad speeded a lil. The limit was suppose to be 110 km/h but dad went over 120km/h cuz according to him the car did not seem lk moving at all. Mom kept on asking him to be slower, in case got road block or anything. Reached the Custom bout 4 pm, went through all the procedures. There's a lil traffic jam there and the officers there work super slow..serious! After that, we went to gu gu house. Its been a long time since the last time I went there. 3 years back?? I not sure but there not much different there. We help to prepare for the bbq stuff that we have to bring over to our resort. I managed to contact jie at there using Irene jie jie laptop. It felt lk something is missing without jie with us for CNY. Talked for a while with her. Then, we have to move to our resort in Pasir Ris. The place is called Downtown East, which is a very huge recreation centre for tourist. Its almost lk Sg's Club Med. Everthing is there, from shopping, to amusement parks, water parks, and any kind of food. You can get pratically everything there provided if you got money..haha..There's even this dorm for circus shows. There's a lot of tourist there. We checked in the Coastal Sand Resort which is also in Downtown East. We startesd to bbq at 6.30 pm. Gu gu also prepared some buffet dinner for us. Fen Fen jie jie and Ken Wai joined us later at night bout 8 something. Everyone is so excited to see her baby bump. We had bbq chicken, sausages, satays and becon. Its feels different to celebrate CNY away from home. And that feeling is great! Its different, not eating restaurant food. There's a lot of families there too for bbq. You can sensed the CNY mood there too. After everyone stuffed themselves with food, it was mahjong time again!! Played until bout 2 am only sleep.. hehe..it was only during CNY we can play until this late so why wasting time sleeping..haha..It was a memorable day!
spot me 
2nd Day of CNY
We had a full day in Downtown East. After having breakfast in Burger King, us, the teenangers went to look around. We went in The Escape, the amusement park. It is like a mini Genting there. Sat a few rides. It was not as fun as Genting but better than nothing. Later, we went for bowling in E! Hub. The bowling centre is very huge, and not to mention the crowd there. Had to wait for a few minutes to get our place. We had one game, and its so UNBELIEVEABLE! I actually won it..haha..yeah!! We return to the resort, refreshed ourselves then gu gu bring us out to dinner. Later at night, we went to Ang Pao River, where there's this CNY Celebration there. It is at Marina Bay. Oh my gosh! the crowd there was so huge..There's perfomance on the stage. We went around to take pics of the decorations there. There's also food carnival there, lots of stalls with many varieties from around the world. We tasted some korean, Japanese and taiwan cuisines. In front of Marina Bay, there's this huge construction site. And guess what..it is going to be the largest casino in Asia. Its called The sand and will be completed in another 2 years i guess. It looks so grand from the river front. We hang out there until about 11pm then went back to resort. No mahjong game for tonight 'cuz everyone was too tired di.
I am overweight, over height and over age for this..ISH..

3rd Day of CNY
VivoCity Shopping Mall
I was waken up by some telephone call from the receptionist to remind us the check out time. Packed! Packed! then checked out.. We then traveled back to M'sia. Nothing much happening. Before leaving SG, we went to ViVoCity, a megamall in Jurong. Shopped a lil while. We stopped by Seremban for our dinner then went back home. Later at night, Li Li jie jie fetch me and bro to my cousin hse for another mahjong session. Played until 2.30 am yesterday. There's something i discovered bout Singaporeans :
1. You seldom see any fat ppl there given their healthy eating style
2. Singaporeans loves reverse parking
The prove3. There's no old cars in Singapore
4. You cant see any rubbish on the road sides
Lol..anyway, it feels good to come home. I nvr miss home so much b4. I keep on looking forward to talk to Ian..haha..at least i chatted a while with him yest. Today, having some party at jiu jiu hse. We are celebrating two of my cousins b'day. Then, tomorrow got visitings. Still i enjoyed this few days a lot. More pics in my facebook. Drop by and take a look k. Bye bye!
