Happy New Year!!! (It's Chinese New Year!!) :)
Okay I'm seriously gonna finalized my new year resolutions tonight.
This year is the first time I experience two-full-days of Chinese New Year celebrations! I joined Paul for reunion dinner at her dad's family side, then yesterday we went back to his dad's family side. Paul's godparents also came to his house.
Today I went again to Paul's dad's family side (Paul said it marks the starting of the new year together, that's why we all gathered at his dad's family side before visited Paul's mom's side).
I'm not used to saying the new year wishes with oranges =P Each person holds two oranges as he or she wishes the older person all the good things for new year. I tried to say another Cantonese line to wish Paul's grandma. However, I startled in front of her and forgot all the tones =P
Yesterday I also watched Hong Kong drama in Cantonese (without any subtitles) as other people were talking to each other in Mandarin or Cantonese =P I could understand the story! hahaha (the power of gestures =P) Today I tried to learn to count in Cantonese, and also to say 'very naughty', 'ugly' and 'handsome'. (Well, now I can only remember the numbers and also 'very naughty' --> ho koai --> how to write??)
Tomorrow there's one more celebration at Paul's aunt's house. She'll celebrate with her friends too tomorrow! Xin nian kuai le! (Happy new year!)

I managed to write a post last week. A reflection after having difficulties to find a 'perfect cut' for clothes. Last weekend I went around with Paul to try some blouses. Even though I chose XS or UK 6 already, the long sleeves were really too long!! Since I'm not inclined to shopping, I really didn't enjoy trying out clothes. Anyway, Paul's sister gave me some blogshops link to buy clothes for short people like me =D Ahhh, I'm really like boys, I prefer online shopping and I feel tired easily when I go shopping =P The best time for shopping is Saturday morning when people haven't started shopping. The services are usually good and I have less headache of seeing too many people =P

It's February already!! And people start selling various Valentine's gift. Hmmm, I don't really celebrate not Valentine's day, so I think I'll start to think more for Paul's birthday instead (it's still in March, but I'm not too talented in finding gifts, so better start now).
However, 14 Feb is a special day for Paul and me for some other reasons, so I guess we'll still celebrate something somehow. (Last year we ate noodles to celebrate hahaha)

We also watched this yesterday. I love the way they portrayed the different period of time in Singapore and the little dots that connect the three generations =)

Technology...
Sigh.
When I was waiting outside the lift yesterday, two young gentlemen were typing on their phone while their mother was talking to them. It's sad to see that more people sit together in one room, yet they are disconnected from each other. Somehow I feel that smartphone absorbs people differently from how a TV absorbs people. It's easier to turn to the people and reject the TV (same thing with books), while using smartphone, people can type AND talk to someone else at the same time! Sometimes I make these mistakes too. When I remember how I really don't like when people do not give 100% attention to people in front of them, this makes me leave my phone when I talk to other people.
Ohh...and I think next time when I have my own family, definitely I don't want any phone on the table.. >.<

Because of the continuous celebration for the past three days, I re-watched some videos that I used to watch with Ci Yaya, my ex-roommate who currently lives in Germany, to find a little tips on styling my hair. HAHAHA. I really need hair spray. I tried the braided bun, but I needed to re-do the bun for a lot of times yesterday and today. Grrrrr!!! I'll buy hair spray tomorrow >.< Oh, I also tried the fishtail braid, but I think my hair is still too short. It was a big failure so I changed back to yesterday's style. Hahahaha
Happy New Year!!! May we grow as strong as horses =D
