Time flies and in a blink of an eye the first two days of Chinese New Year has passed. I had thoroughly enjoyed these two days, but I found that the red packets I got were seemingly lesser (probably due to the economic downturn).
On the first day of New Year, I went to my uncle's place to pay respect to my ancestors (this is a tradition which we do every year). After which, we sat down and watched television (this is the most boring thing we did in the whole of New Year).
After sitting down for awhile, we went to our grandaunt's house. We had a good meal of yong tau fu (it was really delicious but my father as usual, kept on giving me dishes which I did not want). After I ate my lunch, I sat down and played a friendly match of play station portable (PSP) games with my cousins (which was constantly distracted by my relatives as they kept on persuading us to take photos).
Later on in the afternoon, we travelled to another cousin's house to eat popiah, it was delicious but the chili sauce which I added was really spicy. My cousins later came to my house and we had spaghetti for dinner.
Some of the photos we took:

On the second day, we went to a dim sum restaurant. Although we reached the place very early, we still had to queue for an hour as it was really crowded. After a sumptuous meal, my parents went to my uncle's house again (where they played mahjong for the second day in a row).
By night time, my father fetched my cousins home and then we went home and slept.
This year's Chinese New Year was shorter then the past two years and probably due to this, the red packets I had collected were lesser then the past few years. But all in all, I had enjoyed this year's Chinese New Year as I got to meet up with some of my cousins whom I had not seen for ages. So, I cannot wait for next year's Chinese New Year and I hope it will be a longer one compared to this year.

A time spent with my family :a reunion dinner
Today is the eve of New Year, and as usual, we have our family reunion and we have steamboat like the past few years. But unlike the past few years, there are lesser family members attending the reunion.
When I reached my grandma house today, the first thing I did was to went to my aunt room and sleep (I was really tired) the next thing I did was to cover my nose to block the pungent smell produced by the burning of charcoal (I am annoyed as other people said it smelled nice when obviously it stinks). Soon, I was ask to drink some shark fin which was made by my aunt (it is the type of shark fin you can buy at any night market but my aunt added a few real shark fin in it).
Then, we started eating, it is really delicious, as we had lots of dishes such as crabmeat, fish balls ,prawns and many others, but my all time favorite was still the crabmeat, as it is long and eating many of them can make you full but with soy sauce, it will make you want more of them thus making you really full (to me that is the objective of eating steamboat).
I was about to stop eating when my parents kept on giving me vegetables to eat (the type of vegetables which is bitter and are dark green in color). I ask them to stop giving me, but they say it is good for my health. Soon, we were ready to go home after watching television.
All in all, I enjoyed the chance for me to be with my family members to sit down and eat our dinner today and I will certainly looked forward for next year new year eve, which is a year more…

a problematic day
Today was such a bad day, everything (almost everything) I faced was a difficulty and a weird coincidence.
I woke up, after having a nightmare (actually it is just a bad dream). I dreamt of fighting a person (this is anonymous) whom I most hated and I lost. This fact made me very annoyed and thus I was already angry from the start of the morning (okay I am a unreasonable person who was so desperate that I decided to get angry over a small and harmless dream, but this dream harm I ego!)
After this, I went to school realizing that I forgotten to study for my chemistry test and thus I have only three and half an hour to study for the test from the subject that I failed (not terribly) in my end of year test (I failed not because of my fault the relief teacher did not even teach us what we do not know.)
Soon it was English and nothing went wrong until I realize I did not print out the blog assignment (which I am doing now) but luckily I still got a day grace.
The next period was design and technology and all went wrong when the teacher gave us to have a weird and we need to move in front in thirty seconds to sit beside another person from the front three rows but apparently the person that I was with coincidentally wanted me to sit beside him and thus I had to move behind.
A difficulty (or should I say problem) happened when I was going home and I was on the bus and my senior told me to give him the particulars form and then I had to alight the bus and take another bus but the bus broke down half way! I had to walk all the way back to school and I found up that I cannot find my senior at all (later I find up that he got maths lesson) and thus I had a wild goose chase around the school until I found another senior in the canteen, by the time, I am already dead tired from climbing the stairs for at least five times up and down!
Now I am really annoyed when I think of this problematic day and I cannot wait for the day to finish!

Today, when I go home, I decided to watch television and I decided to watch my favorite show Looney toons (okay I am a very childish guy who like to watch show which pre-school kids watch but this is really funny) although it is funny, my sister said that the show is violent and it will lead to other form of violent.
After this, I went to play my play station portable (PSP) and I played many different games such as gundam seed rengou vs zaft (obviously a Japanese game) and DJ max portable and I enjoy the game thoroughly (of course all kids enjoy playing the most and usually I cannot play this much so I try to play as hard as I can). Although playing games may be a waste of time to adults, it can actually test your reaction and also increase your speed. Also DJ max portable also allows you to play and listen to music at the same time and thus allowing you to learn more about music (actually it only test your hand and eye coordination).
I rest my eye for a while and then after this, I went to play my computer (okay, I have been playing for the whole day but all kids enjoy playing). I played Counter Strike (CS) and it was one of my most favorite first person shooting game ever. Unlike what people think that this is just a violent game, actually it also test your reaction and I had a great time playing.
Today was such a fun filled day as I got to play and enjoy so much games, but I have to stop playing too many games so that I can concentrate on my schoolwork.

1.Something that took place in school today
Today, I went to school for my cca, Boys’ Brigade (BB). We had muster parade which was one of the most exhausting experience I had for the whole of my time in BB as I had to stand still in the scorching sun (so I am getting tanner and tanner) for forty-five minutes.
After that, I had drill practical test and theory. Although it was tiring, I passed both of my tests and thus this was my seventh badge and this will make me a lance corporal this year.
Following this, I had Christian education and I learnt more about the effects of sin and more about sin itself. Also, this lesson taught me to trust Jesus Christ. I also realized that god is merciful.
I was supposed to have physical training (PT) and games but due to my drum training, I could not make it (I regretted not joining bagpipe instead). The training was funny as I had got a strange drum pad which made a louder noise than all of the other people around me and so I had to play softer to prevent my mistakes being heard. Later I got my first aid certificate (actually it was just a card to certify that I am trained to be a first aider.)
Although we have fifteen secondary one students short listed, only two came and that was quite pathetic as last year orientation we have had twenty students. This shows that this year secondary one students are not as enthusiastic as us.
All in all, this training was a tiring but fruitful one and I cannot wait for the next training.

This is my very first blog post.
Test.
Got ready my template already. Looks rather girly though. (According to my sister) But I like the shocked apple and you can move the clouds around when you're bored. So fun right. (: (:
