CNY at Home

besides the JC gang visiting, this yr my house also hosted the impre programmers and my UBS colleagues hah. quite shiok to hav ppl coming for visit, cos no need to travel.

the CNY gathering with programmers were on last sat. to thank their help in my wedding proposal last yr, i promised them a treat. but it has not materialised cos all the gatherings cfm hav at least one who couldnt make it. so 4 feb was set way in advance to ensure everyone can turn up. and so we decided to give them a treat that day. it was CNY, so of cos it will be steamboat hah.

went to the mkt with my mum early in the morn to get some steamboat stuff – prawns, squids, fishballs, meatballs, chicken thigh meat etc. then in the afternoon, went to NTUC with dear to get some more stuff like salmon, tofu, mushrooms and a bottle of moscato hah! tgt with some other stuff left over from the reunion dinner, shld b sufficient to feed them ba. oh and we also got yu sheng for tossing too!

we started our dinner at abt 8pm (with some ppl coming late). without xiaowei and bf, jieen and cindy, cos they will be very late due to some other plans. tsk tsk. it was a simple dinner, but was nice and filling. great that we finished most of the food hah. u noe how steamboat usually resulted in wastage. after dinner, while waiting for the rest, we started with ban luck (wad else ha). xiaowei + bf joined at abt 10plus pm and we continued with the ban luck. almost 12am alr but jieen and cindy still hav not reached! cos hianyin worked that day, she was damn tired and decided to leave first. after cindy and jieen finally joined, we had the yusheng and had a short catch-up before calling it a day, since it was alr pretty late.

CNY with impre programmers

would be a perfect gathering if everyone could make it early! oh well, as we all grow older and get busier, that is the sad thing. failed to get a complete grp pic, again.

sun was my colleagues’ turn to visit! that was the first time they came over to my hse (except ade) and thanks everyone for coming! some all the way from tampines and punggol and ang mo kio haha. everyone was fashionably late as usual. supposed to reach at 12.30pm but most reached like 1 hour later. damn. it was another bonding session over ban luck (again!) and with some pizzas. lost almost $50 lo! haha but in the spirit of CNY, nvm la.

CNY with UBS ETD colleagues

anyway CNY is over! looking forward to the next CNY where i will b distributing angbaos haha. huat ar!
