CNY steamboat with the friends.

Since don't know when, every other year we had steamboat during CNY over at my house with the skating friends.
The clique changes with people in and out and there's my ICE ACHIEVEMENT darlings to add on this year.

Stuffs happened and such so only Cally and Jake came from the other side.

Jake was the first one to arrive and make a mess in my room with his balloon sculptures.
The bursted balloons and it's pieces were lying everywhere on the floor of my room.

Headed to NTUC after tonton reached and started shopping for ingredients.
We didn't really need much as there were really lots of left over from the CNY reunion steamboat, what we mainly need was MEAT and more MEAT.

If I didn't remember wrongly, we bought 3 packets of MEAT to feed the 8 of us, which was actually not enough.

Andrew popped by when we were preparing food ALONE.
Everyone thought he will come together with Maggie and the others.

There wasn't much to be honest but the meat and it's marinating sauce was the main point of everything.

We kinda started eating first while waiting for the others to arrive.

Chinese New Year 2012

Finally blogging about Chinese New Year 2012.

A little different from every other years of CNY as this year I went visiting with Tonton.

It's like ever since my paternal grandma died, my father's side do not have any visiting to do but a dinner or lunch meet up instead, and normally it only happens at a later date.

So, I was super free on the first day of CNY and went visiting over to Tonton's side.

reunion dinner with parents :) Steamboat my fav

Every year we ate steamboat for reunion dinner and it's always love. 

With the scenarios of parents and I complaining how full we are and yet we continue to stuff them down the throat.

Thanks for the cousins for the treat, it's good to be the youngest, CAUSE YOU GET PAMPERED :X

I practically shivered

It was so damn cold for goodness sake, I was glad I brought my scarf along and partyworld rents out jackets.
