♥ Three in One Celebration
Last night, my family and I had a three in one celebration at my house. Tong Yuen + Christmas + my cousin & aunty's birthday. The Tong Yuen festival is on Tuesday but it's on a weekday so my grandma decided to celebrate all the celebrations in one day.
I love Tong Yuen festival cos I love to eat tong yuen hehe
On Saturday morning, the whole family woke up at 8am to clean and cook the house. Erm I mean cook and clean the house. I was sleeping till 11am plus. And not that I didn't want to help! But nobody woke me up haha
My job on that day was just to make the tong yuen tong sui. So I rolled them in to balls and boil them in to a pot of pandan leaves and ginger. I was so busy making it I forgot to take picture of my hard tong yuen work!! Grr so I stole a picture from last year's tong yuen at home too. haha
This year had no colourful balls though. All was plain white. Don't look good, but sure taste good!
We had 16 people (and one adorable dog) in the house. And in total, my grandma, mum, and aunty cooked 17 dishes and one soup! Wait, they only cooked 16 dishes. The duck was bought from USJ 2.
My mum loves to have dinner gatherings like this but she would only cook if she had the "mood". That explains why I do not have dinner every night! She'd rather play her Farmville than cooking after work. BTW, my mum now is in Level 62 in Farmville and I'm only Level 36. fml.
If she had a maid, she would do big dinners like this every weekend! Too bad she got a lazy daughter like me.
Ooo, and it took me 2 hours to set up a small white christmas tree yesterday! It should be quicker but last year, don't know which lazy ass did not keep the ornaments and lights properly, I had to spend half and hour untangling them off!
Then then then...... at the last part where I set up the lights, I on the switch, and no lights came on. wtf. So I slowly took the lights off round by round. I found another set of lights but this time I'm smarter! I test the lights first! There's light! So I off it and curled it up on the tree. When I plug it to the switch, there was no lights.................. wtftwtf.....
Obviously I emo already and leave it just like that. But when I look at the Christmas tree without the lights, the tree look so bare.
So I got up again, find another set of lights. Tested it first. Lights on. OK. Good. Off it and set it up on the tree, for the third time. After curling it up on the tree, I switched it on. TA-DA! There's lights blinking and twinkling on the tree! Whee~
my xmas tree
Now the tree don't look bare anymore.
It has life now.
All thanks to my NEVER GIVE UP ATTITUDE.
hahahahahaha.. what crap.
