food and family

It's rare these days for my family to get together especially with the three siblings working across the straits and can't come back at the same time all the time. I'm so happy and thankful for each time that we do. Tonight was our belated CNY reunion dinner (plus lunch of lo meen made by sis-in-law earlier in the day)... Oh happiness! ^_^

We ended the day with a tea and angpow giving "ceremony" where we'd serve tea to our parents while wishing them good health and longevity and happiness, and get angpow in return. It's a tradition which we've had for yearsss.. and still we'd stammer our way through the well wishes haha..

whee! Glee!

i practically "worshiped" my lappie over the CNY break -- spent most of my awake time with eyes glued to its screen, watching movies (more on that later, probably), and Glee!



caught season 1 from episodes 7-13, and started all over from eps 1-6 cos i'd wanted to refresh my memory -- i watched eps 1-3 over video stream way back when i wasn't working -- that was what, October? wow, that's like 4 months ago. ack! anyways, i only streamed the first three episodes then -- gave up watching when the connection was too slow. i then got eps 4-6 from chongy, which was all she had then, to watch on my (somewhat new) comp lappie hehehe.. and last week with the long CNY hol coming up, i knew i had to stock up on something to keep me occupied (i used to read, but mm, not in the mood to these days :( ).. i was asking around, and there were some kind souls who offered but getting them were logistically difficult.. but thanks to lils (who i wondered if she wondered why i was so insistent in meeting up with her the few days before CNY.. haha..) she completed my (tv watching) life with the remaining eps (plus other movies)! thanks, babe! ^^

so, Glee. i would not use superlatives here to describe it -- it's just a(n intentionally-so-i-heard) stereotypical high school drama with lotsa songs ^^.. i.e. it's FUN!

anyways, my fav scene so far is the guys' mash-up - where they combined bon jovi's it's my life and usher's confession. i super lurrrve it! hehe.. the energy, the song combo, the other asian guy ;) (check out 1:21 in the vid below, isn't that like the coolest dance move!?!).. ^__^[yeah, i broke my earlier no-superlative rule.. but it's a well deserved mention.. hehehe..]


apology for the video (it's like watching from behind the mirror) but it's the best on youtube i cld find rite now. this song was on loop the whole of today. makes me wanna... grab a mic and sing out loud here in my cubie!! ^_^ karaoke wld be a safer and saner option. *excited*

[managed to rope zul fel n jazz to go K with me.. but when i called to make reservation for Mon night at Red Box Gardens -- this is after a longgg logistics discussion [cheers to gtalk group chat! i missed using this.. reminds me of my very fun Cyberjaya days..] -- they informed me that it would cost RM48++ per pax 0_o sorry ler, i got no $$ to spare this month :( sighhhh.. i really really wanna go..]

minor grievances abt the show aside, i'm proudly wearing my Gleek badge! ^__^w00t!



note: ep 13 is the mid-season finale (the remaining 9 eps will be available for illegal download soon as they are broadcasted. hahaha..)

p/s: CNY this year was so so hot. but NOT HOT ENOUGH to melt away my fats. arghh..
