...cny in kuantan...

day 0::
was awaken at 6am and began journey to kuantan. i was driving my good ol'iswara. started journey at 6.30am. arrived kuantan at 9.30am. somewhere between kepong toll and the toll before genting was driving at the fastest speed of 50km/hour cos dad ask to wait up for brother. do'h. arrived kuantan, started to sleep. sleep and sleep until lunch. not really anticipating lunch cos the dishes served are the same every year since 1974! (before that i do not know lar). dinner also same dishes. imagine how creative my family are when it comes to cny reunion dinner. sat at the corner of the table and ate only half a bowl of rice. after reunion dinner, everyone sat in my grandma's living room which can only accomodate like less than 8 people. others just sat somewhere doing nothing.i took a seat nearer to the door so that i can feel the cool breeze at nite. tv was only tv1, 2, 3, ntv7 and 8tv. thats all. a decade ago was only tv1,2, 3. everyone was sleepy and i was dead bored. went to uncles's house. slept at 1am. luckily 8tv was still visible. its not so happening these days as my cool cousins did not come from singapore. if he was here, the situation would be different.

day 1::
woke up to a beautiful morning of cny. its just good weather. went to the kitchen and aunt ask to eat breakfast. nasi minyak with some chicken and mutton curries plus acar. you see, my unlce has this open house during the 1st day of cny where he invites all his frens and relatives over for breakfast and lunch. and yes, the dishes served has been the same every year since gawd knows when. first to arrive was my aunt rita. she is the most "in" aunt with 2 daughters and a rich husband. (i have not changed into my new year clothes yet, as if i have any). they were talking quite loudly. they usually are the first to arrive cos they do not want to clash time with other aunties and aunt rita’s husband is not so fond of her wife’s brother in-laws. yes it was boring. went back to the room and watch movie on the notebook. aunt rita came to the room and said hi. then when there is no more movies on the notebook to watch, started to work.
yea, some jerks didn know how to plan and arranged for me to the the pathetic training cos the jerk doesnt know how to conduct it. i was starting on writing the device manual; all the time cursing that idiot jerk. browsing thru oracle, toad, ms word, i was like f* this stupid manual. was working on it till about 2pm and fell asleep again.
woke up at about 3 cos feeling hungry. yes, same food for lunch. during the whole working morning, heard alot of aunties and uncles come and go and giving ang pows. and saying hi to them and saw me working. (if i don work on it now, i dunno when i can finish it. dem the jerks). after eating the same thing for lunch, took a shower changed into new clothes. wakakaz, a snail shirt i bought way back in june 2005 but did not wear it. i think can be considered as new clothes kua. anyway, changed then went to aunt rita's big mansion. i always look forward to go to her house cos, there are things like astro, airconds, different types of food served and very comfi sitting area and she grows grapes in her garden. after that, went to another uncles house. also always looking forward for this visit cos this uncle is the most generous of all uncles, and he has a whole big ice-cream cooler in his house (a gift from his vendors. nope he doesnt sells ice-cream). so he will serve us alot of ice-cream and we can choose whatever flavour we want, from magnum to cornetto to anything that you usually find in a ice-cream seller's little fridge. and of course alot of keropoks to eat. at nite was dead boring again. nothing to do. dad slept at 9pm and i watch tv together with the mosquitoes until about 1am again; falling asleep in between.

day 2::
woke up at about 8am. ate breakfast. yes same breakfast as of gawd knows how many years. some sort of noodles. took shower. went to grandma's house. ate lunch. same lunch from day 1. after lunch, i went outside to sit on the swing in my grandma's garden; then i saw crv's, mercedes, bmw's all big cars arriving and parked just outside my grandma's house. yea, that marks the arrival of all my aunts. the house was very noisy. aunts chatting and chatting. though they are like filthy rich, but they are all very down to earth aunts. enjoyed listening to them chat. met some cousins that i have forgotten their faces. gosh, these people grow so fast. and they left at about 6pm. at nite we were supposed to go to their big mansion but dunno why, parents say not going at about 8.30pm. haih, spoil plan to go out with sufong and miew pulak. cheh. slept at 1am again.

day 3::
was really looking forward to going home. had lunch. then packed and all ready to go back to kl. cant wait. arrived home at about 5pm. switch on tv. and it was so satisfying. just sat there and do nothing. watch tv whole nite. didn’t want to continue with the manual cos the jerk is killing my holidays.

day 4::
supposedly go matt's house. but do'h car problem. fix the whole morning. brakes not good. dad fixing it whole morning. and i slept whole day. worked on the dem manual again. dead boring. still cursing that jerk.

summary::
boring cny. no gambling. yea, i do not like to gamble unless my cool cousin is in from singapore. it has been 2 years since he came back to kuantan for cny. i think the whole situation would be different if he was around. everthing has been the same as usual. nothing has changed. anyway, happy cny to everyone. hope everyone else had an enjoyable and fulfilling cny. ang pows? not much, yea same as every year. gxfc!!!...
