As Suanie Sees It

Continuation from this:

Mom cooked another huge dinner for my sister’s boyfriend and his parents were in town…

… to officially ask for her hand in marriage, the almost traditional way without the cows and chickens…

So now my eldest sister is no longer available…

We also had yee sang…

I had my hair trimmed and dyed…

Super kawaii!!!

I think I look more like my mom now…

She kept bugging me about my beer belly.. zOMG!!!

I had lontong back in BP.. it’s teh good.

Bet most of you wouldn’t know what it is… when I first came to KL, no one knew what it was.

Went out with Melissa and Shee Teng again, and met some more old friends in the process. But they are a bit camera-shy.

I went out mamak-ing with Richard…

And closed a bank account with Shinn and Ti Mei… it was set up during our YBF presidency period, and since we are no longer involved in it, time to close the account…

Well, that’s the end of my Chinese New year for this year. I am now back in PJ. Beer, anyone?

It’s the third day of Chinese New Year and I’m at Starbucks @ City Square JB. Might as well utilise their free wireless service and post some photos.

Mom cooked up a feast of everything I like for our traditional reunion dinner.

Since we are Fu Chow people, we always have the zhao kuey for breakfast on the first day of Chinese New Year.

It’s rice wine thing with chicken and mee suah, someone feel free to explain it in proper English.

After breakfast we went to my grandmother’s place for the maternal extended family get-together.

That’s my grandma and I (duh)… she gave me a very big angpow this year, yay!

I also met up with my high school mates, Melissa and Shee Teng.

I did drink with my auntie and uncle with the fridge full of expensive alcohol. I also drank (a bit) with these fellas:

Somehow I get the feeling that Jimmy is afraid of me.

I wonder why.

Then today I drove down to Johor Bahru to meet Pinky.. coz my passport expired and so I can’t enter Singapore, she came to JB instead.

She’s gone back to Sing-kah-poh, I stayed around a bit for the wireless access. And now I seriously need to pee then drive back to BP. Bye.

… also known as the state of ridiculous-ness in many ways, also known as what I did, saw, blah.

Yesterday I went to Bangsar to get my eyebrows threaded, then thought of going to Blook for last minute clothes shopping… what the heck, might as well make my mother happy and not wear black all the time…

But I turned in the wrong lane and got honked by some impatient driver in a 4 wheel, so at that time I was too embarrassed to turn into the right lane, and that embarrassment made me leave Bangsar… a bit ridiculous come to think of it… but I ended up at 1U.

At 1U I wanted to buy a birthday+retirement present for me mom. I did, and also ended up with…

a pair of jeans, a pair of shoes (which I totally don’t need), two pairs of ridiculously colourful socks, some beaded accessory thingy and the Dior perfume for me mom. Ridiculous.

Then Paul came over and we went to Dave’s Pasta and Pizza Vino for beer and dinner.

Hoegaarden… BEST T HING EVER!

When we left 1U, we were stuck in the parking lot jam for 45 minutes. FUCKING RIDICULOUS OK!!!

Then I came home and someone showed me this:

Korean sex noodles… wtf… ridiculous!

And I also came home to this:

Because the night before on MSN…

Suanie: [bla bla bla] I’m dead inside
Friend: I’m sorry [to hear that]
Suanie: send flowers [to my funeral]
Friend: what do you like?
Suanie: lilies
Friend: nice

I am now officially dead. Anyone else wanna send me flowers? I’ll give you my house address

Ridiculous lah… but they smell nice and I’m bringing it home to my mom.

Speaking of which, I’ll be going back to my hometown for nearly a week for Chinese New Year. It is an extremely remote place where there’s no Internet connection and we all live on tree tops and shit wherever we like…

… fucking noobs. Of course we have Internet connections and proper houses and toilets. I just seem to have to answer this a lot whenever I tell some noob that I’m from Batu Pahat, or even Malaysia. Noobs.

But anyway it’s the Chinese New Year soon, I won’t be updating till I come back to wherever I am, I’ll probably be drinking with my uncle and auntie who have a fridge totally devoted to expensive alcohol, and when I come back I’ll be 10kg heavier. It’s all good.

Mwah.
