This is going to be a long post because I merge CNY Eve & CNY Day 1 together... with a number of pictures.

13 Feb 2010: Chinese New Year & Valentine Eve
The heart-shaped box of lucky chocolates
Still remember this blog post about the chocolate? =P
After booking out, instead of going home straight, I went somewhere else.
Instead of usual book out in the East, I'm booking out in the North-West instead.
That is, down the road further away from Mandai Zoo/Yishun... it will be CCK/Bukit Panjang.


Routes:
Point 1 to Point 2 (Mandai to Pending LRT) - Bus 171
Point 2 to Point 3 (Pending LRT to Choa Chu Kang LRT/MRT) - Bukit Panjang LRT Line
Point 3 to Point 4 (Choa Chu Kang MRT to Boon Lay MRT/Int/JP2) - North-South/East-West MRT Lines
Point 4 to Point 5 (Boon Lay Int/JP2 to Jenny's house) - Bus
Point 5 to Point 6 (Jenny's house to Boon Lay Int/MRT/JP2)
Point 6 to Point 7 (Boon Lay MRT to Khatib MRT to my house)

Point 5. I went for lunch 1st, just a simple lunch even though I skipped breakfast (Ok, techinically I only ate Fish Cake only for breakfast.) Reunion dinner in the evening with my family.
Then go her house pass her the chocolate.
(Hmmm... can consider as Valentine gift? lol... lucky heart-shaped chocolate box brought me luck during my driving test 3rd attempt?)
But it ended up... met tio her mum in the same lift. =.="
Under the so-called bobian act, have to step into her house.

1.45pm-2.45pm, just talk? LOL.
Food? No, thanks... though being asked repeatedly by her mum. =.="
(My Mum #2... same pattern in my thought... bleh, not to forget #3 who is a parking instructor.)

The reunion dinner
Apparently, my father SMS-ed me when I will be reaching home.
At the time of receiving this message, I was only at Bukit Batok.
Also true lar, normally I reach home 2pm latest... but on this day, 3.50pm.
Anyway, the reunion dinner rocks. Eat till full! Yum!

After reunion dinner
Patched MapleSEA to v0.90 from v0.87.
Sian, my Ice Arch Mage in Aquila can't access.
I wonder what's inside. Oh well...

Route 1: To late-grandparents' house
My father's sibiling bondings remain quite strong.
This year, more new faces:
- New married couples
- New babies/kids of new generation

The house isn't huge either, no space for the kids to run around.
But at least got some spaces for everyone to walk around/through.
Start with... tidbits on table


Closer look at these 2 containers... it is home-made by 1 of my relatives! Yum!


Beware of camera... wanna take extra Ang Bao? Just don't get caught.


This isn't a Toy Handphone.


Route 2: To AMK Hub - Taiko/Jubeat
Top $28, get $28 free promotion (14-16 Feb 2010) O_O
Condition: Remaining value in card less than $8
My action: TOP up lar!!! =D (And slowly use.)

拜启，於学校 (Oni 7*, non-coded): Attempt 2


Jubeat, apparently someone who asked me about the e-amusement pass... nowhere to be found.
Oh well, played 1 credit of mine and 1 so-called free credit.

Route 3: Home
Father's friends coming to 拜年.
My Magician in Gemini is now Level 31, advanced as Ice Wizard.
Yes, I'm not kidding... it is my 2nd Ice Magician class. =P
Now can explore Mushroom Castle again.
Hopefully can explore around Kerning Square soon.
