Happy Chinese New Year 2010!
Haha, a crappy video which I think most of you have watched it at facebook already.
Zoom, reunion dinner was eh, awkward. That is what I feel. Just missed the days of home cooked food. The duck, the prawn, the roast pig, the abalone the scallop, the pink wrapping table. All this in my memories already. This year, went down to long beach restaurant just beside Burger King East Coast Park. Guess complacency sets in when you know you have attained that level of achievement. First thing that we saw in the restaurant is one indian guy as a waiter.
I know it sounds racist...until this point of time.
But the fact i want to point out is , this dude is still wearing his Temasek Polytechnic Polo T-shirt. Diao -_-" He may be a temp staff or what, but at least get him to wear something plain or at least the restaurant's own polo t-shirt. Image totally shattered.
The way the served their food was also quite horrible. Just leave on the table and walked away. Whole family just stared at the food, and was about to go find the waiter, then he walked back with some more plates and then start to distriute the food. Weird eh, I mean for a restaurant with such a reputation, and have been long in this food industry, they still having such basic errors. >_<. JUMBO FTW the next year...!
Countdown show wasn't really that nice this year. Yup yup, for the first time in 21 years, I didn't travelled to the west for any visiting on the first day. Hahas, all at Bedok and Tampines. Lol. Some of my aunts asked if I have entered NS already??? Some asked me if I have gone to the US to study??? ( The most shocking one...) Some asked me how is the life of a debt collector... lol.
Of course, the cousins, Senior ones, got promoted already, as the batch of us have already hit the magical 2, were like discussin how was it in the past. We used to play catching, take out all the toys that my grandma use to store in this huge 1960s cupboard which they still used until last year. Had all the funny toys, used to hone my dribbling skills with this small ball. Lol, played pictionary. Come cny, we use to select sweets, STUFF A HANDFUL INTO OUR POCKETS before we leave whoever's house. Played with sparklers and those POP POP. Used to pour the gun powder into one big one, then when we saw people walking past, will throw and creat a ruckass. LOL.
Come back to 2010, where WHISPER is going to be overtook by IPAD, I see my young cousins, playing with their phones, Nintendo DS Lite, all into thier own world, and do not talk to the rest of the cousins who are of the same age. Elder cousins will huddle one corner, talk about life, stocks , work, relationships, future plans.
You definitely feel super old when you are questioned about when you are getting married and when are you planning to have more kids. HAHA.
