HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! i am glad that it's here because it would mean that the break's here! it would also spell that i have TONNES of essays to finish by the end of this CNY break. damn the freaking school.

last minute new year shopping was alright. bought the overall thing and didnt manage to find anything else already. therefore, i'm going to do POST CNY shopping. ANDANDANDANDANDANDAND, I WATCHED SWEENEY TODD!!!!!! dear Cindy told me that we can catch it at Eng Wah so we went down to AMK's and watched it! the entire cinema was damn pathetic, with only like 8 people inside if i'm not wrong. initially there wasnt any sound at all. thank God this guy went to tell the people there. THE MOVIE IS BLOODY GOOD. bloody literally and yeah. i love their singing and i totally adore Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. she's damn perfect for the role, just like everyone else is. she didnt get it because her boyfriend's Tim Burton but rather, she got it through her own ability and auditioning. COOL EH. it's a sad movie seriously but i love it. the movie's damn good really. everyone who's 18 this year who wants to watch it, go Eng Wah. it's definitely worth the money.

went over to grandma's house for reunion dinner yesterday. the freaking jam was damn long so my father cut the queue. we were practically busy swatting flies and eating at the same time. i so love the soup my grandma cooked. pig's stomach soup - HEAVENLY. the table was damn small so i had to swallow my rice and let my grandpa sit in. watched a little of Miss World and went off shortly after dinner. came home and rotted in front of my NEW TV while watching some show by Nicholas Cage and John Travolta. went to bed and ta-da.

woke up this morning and went back in. pretty lame but oh well. yesterday, this custom guy wrote 'CHANGE PHOTO' in my passport. hello. i dont have the time to do so. seriously. anyway it only expires next year. shall do it when i'm free.

my grandma is one weird woman. my father's siblings forked out money to buy them a new pretty house and a car but my grandma prefer the old kampong house with NO toilets. oh i diarrhoea-ed yesterday the minute i step foot into my grandma's house. have to shit OUTSIDE the damn house and the toilet doesnt have the flushing system. -.- oh anyway, the old kampong house is like an oven. it's cooking all of us alive. sat down and fooled around with my beloved nephew who cant speak properly for nuts.

lunch was the same. swatting flies. after i had my lunch, i just held the yellow thing and started swinging it around to prevent flies from coming near the food. did that for near 3 hours and my hands are near the verge of breaking. the eat in batches and they talk a whole lot so i have to sit there and swat flies. i felt like i'm in Mars because they converse in Hokkien, a language that i DONT know and the irony is that i'm a Hokkien. -.- even though my job was deemed as NOBLE, i wasnt even paid for it. cant even eat the big fat prawns right in front of me when i'm busy swatting flies. after swatting flies, i chatted with my cousins for a while and left grandma's place with my cousin. here i am, having Macs for dinner and Monster and i are going to be home without our parents till Sunday. it's a good thing but with Monster? -.-

i realised that my grandma looked so old. my grandpa is a good old 78 years old already!!!! that's like damn fantastic. he smokes a hell lot and he's so old already. it's a damn good thing. my grandma looked way older. i feel the pain that i hardly know her or talk to her because of the stupid language barrier. my uncles and aunties wanted to give her a good life so they bought them a house but she didnt like it there. i guess it's up to her. i hope she'll continue to cook more pig's stomach soup for me till i'm OLD, just like i told my parents that i'm not going to get married and that they'll have to feed me and support me till i'm OLD. sounds selfish but i guess it's not such a selfish wish to have them around for as long as you can, especially my grandma. okay it's a happy occasion, no such crap.

i'm damn bored. shall go rot in front of the tv later. baaahhhh.
