Let's GO!

yay! had visitation today.... Elaine and I were late to Sandra's house though.
Was supposed to meet in church at 10.30am but the traffic planned otherwise. So we went straight to San's house instead! Andrea made a surprise visit on crutches because of a recent surgery for a corn in his foot.
Anyhoots, lepak-ed there for like... 1 hour + then we went to Fish's house (12pm something) and saw MEGA SIZED KOIS. seriously. they.are.huge. and so is his house! lol.. so, we went into the tv room and Adrian, Carl, Emmanuel and Samuel played Mah Jong. FUNNY! then we moved on to Elaine's house. On the way, there were SO MANY CARS on the road. drived us nuts in Fish's car. fuhh!
We managed to reach Elaine's house (1pm +) in one piece and collected more ang paus. Daniel ate a ginseng candy and made a face. Eww. It smelled bad; must've tasted worse.
Then we proceeded to MY house. (1.30pm+ i think)
We had Soto for lunch and Carl, Elaine, Mark and Andrea i think tasted my grandma's infamous sambal! Carl nearly cried when he drank the sambal infested soup. haha! His face was RED!
Then we played Settlers Of Cattan. FUN GAME! carl and adrian were SOOOOO into it. :)
the rest played my PS2 and my piano; making my house a noise infested building :D
Next came the ANGPAU GIVING CEREMONY!
if you asked all of those who came to my house, they would say getting an angpau from my family was HARD. :p

it was pretty simple actually..

all they had to do was kneel, and greet the elder(s)

but we did it with a few twists of course... Andrea, Fish, Daniel Yean, Mark & Adrian had to wish my mum in Hokkien, Hakka, English, Tamil slang+Hokkien slang and Bahasa+Hokkien slang.
While Elaine, Sandra, Carl, Emmanuel & Samuel did something else.



it wasn't that hard.....




all they had to do was....














.RAP.

loL! yes you heard me! they had to RAP in Cantonese to get their angpaus :D but in the end, they rapped in Chinese and English. XD
that's what MY family does every year! It's pure torture; yes, but it was hilariously fun!
i took a vid on Sandra's cam, will have to wait for her to send it to me first. :)

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!
