CNY thus far

Day 0 started with reunion dinner @ uncle francis' place. we had red wine chicken noodles (which would be a recurring dish on day 1), popiah, and lo hei. And we played agricola, though josh had to leave early so it was just yang, alden and myself. Haha, i had a really bad game - made all the wrong assumptions about the market (reed and animals disappeared too quickly) and yang had a field day - end score, yang 43, alden 29, nick 28.

After sever lack of sleep, the morning of Day 1 found most of us cousins in church earlyyyy. But we had an awesome worship, though 'most everyone was a little stoned. Forgot a few cues and was not warmed up enough, but it was fun. And with andrew recording, the drums came out really nicely! can't wait to get my hands on the mix.

Then after that we went to ama's place for our annual red wine chicken noodles breakfast (now brunch - wait, deja vu?). Followed by visits to the usual people:

Oh did i mention, aunty kat and uncle chris are back! With baby bel - you can see aunty grace carrying her above. They have the other car, so it was awesome that i got to SLEEP IN THE BACK. Some others were not so lucky, see Josh below:

(that's the sofa, not someone's stomach, silly... oh wait. then again...)

(some were less fortunate than others and had to be chauffeur for the day)

I had red wine chicken for every meal after that. What a day. None of them could beat ama's one though. ngoi recipe FTW.

Visited dad's side as well - this year the annual late night movie did not materialise - guess the cinemas were filled with valentinos. toyed with the idea of hanging out, but in the end, went home and just chilled. man, need to get a drum teacher to get me back in practicing shape.

Didn't take as many photos this time, will try and do something about that! In the meantime, alden has a better photo of josh, i'll let him see what he wants to do with it ;)

Ah yes, asher, enjoy! You have visitors soon!
