happy chinese new year...

yep...it's THE time of the year again...time to make money! hehe...:p can't wait to know if this year's collection will match up to last year's... one good thing bout the new year this year is that i finally get to enjoy the reunion dinner. yep...i haven't had any reunion dinner before this. maybe i had many many years ago but then it was ages ago so guess it's gone from my memory. in the previous years, my family will wait till bout 8 something at night when everyone's finally back and walked across to my grandma's house to eat steamboat (grandma's a big fan of it). by that time, everyone would have finished eating and my family will be the only one left at the table.

this year is the 1st year i'm having reunion dinner with my grandma and my uncle's family from s'pore. though the dishes were just normal dishes that we eat everyday (with the addition of a very big fish and many big prawns) i really enjoyed it very much. looking forward to doing this again next year.

besides that, it's just the same as every other new year. everyone sitting down watching tv while me and my sisters help my dad to prepare the angpows. when the clock strikes 12, all of us will pray at the alter and then wish our parents 'gong xi fa cai' and get our first angpows from them.

the bad thing bout this year's new year is that i have to study for my summer semester's exam which is next week. how can anyone study during holidays..much as during chinese new year????? but no choice...really have to start...

final year in uni...

well....cny is over now....time to start studying again. classes are starting in 2 days time. part of me can't wait to get back to uni cos of meeting up with friends but the other part just dread it. going back means assignments, tests and exams. i'm planning to make this last year of mine in uni different. going to study more and play less. i'm hoping to get better results this year. hopefully i'll stay on track and not wonder off....

exam finished 2 weeks ago. it was ok though i think i will fail one of the subjects. it was the first time that i broke down and cried. guess it was due to the stress and also i was scared that i couldn't finish and remember wat i studied. well, it's over now and i can only hope for me to pass.
