Nice weekend

This weekend, I'm not going to let it past by just like that. Well, every weekend is almost the same so why bother? Ah, just that Monday is a holiday. Sunday is Independence Day, so time to have some relaxation and activities.

August came and go quickly. Just a recap, I mention before that I'm going to be aunt 3X this year...Yep, my nephew was born on 6Aug2008! Yay!
Next will be another baby boy which will be somewhere in October. Now onwards must keep track of their birth dates!! muahaha... This niece and nephews are from my dad's side. My mom's side, a nephew which was born on 28Nov2002, which means he's entering Year 1 primary next year.
August was when I officially graduated. And I it is the month where I spend the MOST money too...in the history of my life. :p August too, the most memorable month in this year.
Besides that in working, I think it is the busiest too, since 3 months I have worked.

Next, the most talked by-election in Malaysia's history. That was the day I went to Kedah to work, when Penangites got a holiday. LOL. I left early and was lucky to not being caught in the jam. Since that day, things have not really settled yet and many dramas are going to unfold soon.

CNY 2008 is a meaningful but quiet one

CNY celebrations are getting less noisier and much quieter these days. Long gone the days when I was younger, I would go house visiting (barely missing a relative, all house pit-stops are a must ) and angpow collections were so many, till I lost count who gave this one and that one. But I do notice that although the number of red packets are lesser, the amount of $ inside is getting more! I am thankful it's not directly proportional (lesser packets = lesser amount). Yay! This 'pattern' is observed ever since I was in upper 6 till I enter uni, and currently in my final sem. I am feeling thankful... :-)

Today, my relatives on my mom's side gave us a surprise visit. It's CNY, and it's mom's Birthday! They came along with a Birthday cake and angpow for mom too! We don't have any significant bday+CNY celebration for mom every year from relatives coz when it's CNY, people will focus on CNY instead of birthdays. Well, a good one indeed for this year coz somehow they thought of it this year out of the blue, and decided to take action. Well, from this year onwards, mom's birthday will stick into everyone's mind when it's CNY. Haha..

Yesterday, I had a reunion with almost all of my classmates. It was nice to catch with old friends, old as in friends ever since the schooling days but studies, work etc. had made us far apart and have not met face to face and old as in it will always be the good ol'friends we had known till we grow old! We had the biggest turnout of 25 people, and this is the biggest reunion we managed to gather for CNY. We all hope from this year onwards, the turnout will be good for years to come. Probably target for 30.
