Celebrating the arrival of the OX

25 Jan 09 - CNY Eve, I went to VivoCity in the afternoon to collect the Acala Disc and Ball from WOFS. I bought it for my dad's birthday but was out of stock so have to wait till now.
The Acala Disc and Ball helps to overcome the illness star in the west in 2009. After the collection, I went to Armani Exchange to look for Lily. Stay with her for awhile, chatting before leaving. Took a bus from VivoCity back to Sengkang Interchange, total time taken was approximately 1 hour. Transfer to bus number 83 and proceed home and get ready for reunion dinner.

Woke up in the afternoon on the first day of CNY. Received my relatives that came to my house for prayer before getting ready to go to some of our relatives' house. Simple day for me this year, nevertheless better then previous years as I had been missing on going to relatives place.

Today (27 Jan 09), woke up in the morning and waited for my friends to come to my house. As usual, every year we will gather at a few of our houses to celebrate CNY together. This year it's my place, Youxing's and Ronghui's place. After late lunch at Ronghui's place, we (Ruilong, Ronghui, Youxing, Yvonne, Frances and me) went to watch the Love Matters at GV Tampines Mall.

"Love Matters" is a movie revolving around three main protagonists - 52-year-old Tan Bo Seng, his 17-year-old teenage son Benny and 36-year-old Jeremy, Bo Seng's 'adopted' brother - and their accidental journey in seeking and keeping love and happiness. Bo Seng (Henry Thia) who leads a routine life attempts to revive the passion with his wife Jia Li (Yeo Yann Yann). Jeremy (Jack Lim) lives a colourful life; with "Never to commit" as his motto for love. Benny (Alex Leong) has just started school life and his only distraction is his crush, Jennifer (Natalli) who is his classmate's girlfriend.

After the movie, we send Ruilong home as he is going to join his friends for clubbing. Ronghui, Frances and I went for our dinner at Simpang Bedok. Since we were still rather full with the late lunch at Ronghui's place, only Frances had her full course of dinner while Ronghui and me had light snack and drinks. After that, it's home sweet home and for me to prepare for my wisdom extraction tomorrow... ;p
