Happy CNY Eve & Day 1

[CNY Eve] Had my reunion dinner @ home yday with aunt. Had my steamboat feast la, and the funny thing was we were experimenting on boiling the calms. Conclusion was...bao beis can be cooked longer so as to make it soft...and it applied to another circular calm..dunno the name though. Butta...dont do this to the abalones...eat them using the "sashimi" way ba..delicious.
Went to Chinatown @ 10pm plus to catch the fire crackers & fireworks. Before that, was busy switching scv channels for tw cny shows...Anyway, didnt like Chinatown's deco this yr..too simplified...and not nice at all. Many ppl la..but E.W said nt as crowded as before. My previous 2 CNY countdown experiences were quite good, butta this yr's countdown was a little plain, maybe becoz' there were no Mediacorp artists hosting the event (only Mediacorp DJs..). Anyway, recorded the countdown stuffs, but wont be putting it up la. Enjoy the pics below~


Lion & Dragon troops outside a huay kuan...
Street decos~too plain

Some pics drawn by students ba~
Part of the crackers...
There were crackers at the rooftop too..but too dark liao..


Water "fountain" with lightings...kinda waste water sia?
[Day 1] This yr Hong Baos not alot ah...soobbzz...Went to watch "Ghost Rider" with Tuan in the afternoon @ Cine. Initially wanna to watch "The Matrimony", butta we were late. The movie's action effects were great, butta the plot was kinda simple. The baddies were so easy to deal with and the movie was damn short..105 mins? Err...in the end the devil who gave the special powers of the Ghost rider didnt die lo...hinting that there will be a sequel soon? Hahaha! Nicolas Cage was good...but the other female lead was kinda like "flower vase" la..what's her name huh? Hahaha!
Went to my aunt's hse later...saw my long-time-no-see cousins. WT was kenna bombed by my aunts and E.W.....hahaha! I was not spared either...well, what's wrong with being plain? haha! Will be gg to their hse on Tues for a feast ba? Ha! Gotta shed some weight after that.
Btw, wanna thank those who have sent me CNY cards.
