s.a.l.t.z: GONG XI FA CAI!

on the eve of cny eve, a very bored bunch of us decided to not go to WB..but instead, we headed to guess where?? .....CHINATOWN! a totally insane decision because it was freaking hot and crowded, and we had a hard time finding for a parking space...but well..we still braved the crowd :)

doing stupid poses.having to squeeze through the very crowded, hot and humid crowd..reminds me of KL's chinatown.hobz with the hugeass ong lai.

"diet piggy cookie jar" - manufactured specially for meems..it even oinks when u lift the lid! entertaining ourselves (booo..ugs me in toot specs coz of mucus emitting eyes :S ) while ah soh meru was in action. she bought cny decorations and spent a damn long time choosing the best "fu". peach got influenced by meru and decided to get an ong lai with the words "zhao cai jing bao" on it ...tsk these bankers!

some interesting sights: "Piggy Porky" eatery - meru's once again..wah meru..it is indeed ur year, and now we know chinatown is actually where your home belongs! "King of the King's Durians"..wtf??? Hobz braving the yucky trishaw for a photo. and Hobz pants..oh sorry...i mean peach's!hahah..kidding...the pants was so big..i think 4 of us cld fit in!

For our reunion dinner this year,my family (mom's side) gathered in a nice little Italian restaurant that served pretty good Italian food. Aren't we hip?? haha...there was yu-sheng too..Italian style..with smoked salmon instead of raw ones..and err dunno what veg that was. Calamari and portabello mushrooms for starters..marsala veal or seafood linguine or duno what seabass for the main course...tartufo ice-cream or lemon sorbet for dessert...and to end the night..a tiramisu cake...which was actually a birthday cake for Mar. Okay..we had such a fine menu because it was also Mar's 21st birthday..haha..HAPPY 21st cuz! welcome to the oldies club :P

cny day was spent visiting the same old houses that we go to every year and dinner at my uncle's place. it was there, that i finally found the answer to why i have been feeling fatter and fatter everyday..it's because i'm actually shrek's relative! 0_0 and the numerous reunion dinners are not helping to make me less shrek-like...sob sob.

and last night, a small group of us gathered in my rp's house for steamboat..wah the food is even better than the one in my house! thanks rp for the lovely spread :) and fifi for the cake..which i forgot to eat...bah! after dinner we went for kbox at amk central (bloody expensive! gonna boycott kbox from now on..28.80 per head for 3hrs.plus extra compulsory charge for tidbits and 10% service charge..wtf! might as well go and rob the bank! teo heng is the best!)..and erm..some ah beng waiters asked meru for her number..hahahahah..meru u are an ah lian who attracts ah bengs!
