cny eve

today is cny eve... no steamboats, but we're about to go out to a fancy asian restaurant. tried to do a cny theme for my nails yesterday but i was so damn moody three attempts at different designs just didnt work out. (plus i dont fancy red or gold on my nails XD)

so eventually i got lazy and just used water decals and rhinestones with a nian nian you yu theme. cant believe i forgot i had cute little goldfishies.


for my spring 'cleaning', i packed up my xmas tree (finally) and vacuumed and mopped up the place fairly quickly. four new additions for my ornament collection arrived a couple of days ago from mary. They're the Wernick's family Old World ornaments thats traditionally made.. but made in china?i really like the houses, so pretty XD and the other two are simply cute.

random pic of joco's avocado tree in the growing.. he's used string to make them grow in a twisty way, which is cool. wonder how it'll look like as a tree? he's also talked about growing his own bonsai with mini apples or something like that hehe
then today aunty siu hong sent a message saying she found old videos of us celebrating birthdays at the chalets! oh no! hahaha. at least in photos, i wont hear whatever possibly embarrassing nonsense i said as a kid!
when i look at my eyes here... its just funny cuz i have double eyelids and there my eyes are slits.
to this day i still do this face......
finally a pic of my crazy cousins facetiming with me. one of them very kindly slowly crunched new year goodies in front of the cam. yeah.
then weng meng kor sent a picture of their steamboat reunion dinner. I REALLY WANT STEAMBOAT!? so envious.
so for those people who complain about how troublesome cny is..... just appreciate being able to be with your family and enjoy the good food.
