CNY 2010.

Let's me start this post by wishing all friends a year filled with prosperity, good health and happiness.

Was given half a day off on Friday and so made good use of the late afternoon and evening to clean up the kitchen, and to vacuum and mop the whole flat again. And then I left for Changi Airport in the late night to receive R. Actually when R told me her in-bound flight details over msn, through I used the phase, "if i cannot sleep", haha i already made up my mind to surprize her by showing up. The timing is really early as in 3am, but I decided to save money and travel via train, that means arriving at Changi Airport like about 11.45pm. Haha. So I made use of the time to eat, and explore the Airport terminals since I dun frequent there often, and then proceed to Budget Terminal when the timing draw nearer. Haha was my first time at BT, intially was abit worried that I might miss her, but then the worry is gone when I see the terminal is so small. =P

So the moment arrives. R was surprized to see me, but as promised on msn, I didn't want to hold her back for long as we are both tired by the lack of sleep, and the activity that we individually have the next morning. We boarded the taxi to her home. Talked a bit on the taxi and at her void deck before parting ways.

Given the hours that I have waited, the encounter finish in like less than 30 mins. Hahaha. But it's worthwhile - I have not seen her for years. I am happy. Maybe it could be better if we have more conversation - but sometimes the more you want to see someone, when you finally see the person, you suddenly become mute, dunno what to say. Haha. That's basically what happened.

Nine years. At least two rejections I remember. The story might not have a happy ending at all. But I still haven learn my lesson I guess. I tried to move on before, but haha the heart still ...... There is the saying, the person you marry mostly likely wouldn't be the one you love the most. Haha I think it would happen to me, provided I got married in the first place.

After napping for about 2 hours plus upon reaching home, I woke up again and go to Kwong Wai Siew Peck San Theng to pray and give offerings to my late mother. I wanted to be even earlier but I was lazy. But it's alright, I have learnt the mistake from last year. I went there in the late morning and it was superb crowded. So this year, I reached there at seven plus. There are already pp but alright still manageable, I managed to get it done before the crowd came in.

And then it's back to home. Did a bit of new year shopping. Well not expecting vistors but haha at least got a few new year goodies just in case and also to soak in the atmosphere. As compared to the last few years, I did more spring cleaning (haha that's subjective) and got more stuff. I even got a plant this year. So unlike me.

Slept for the best part of the afternoon before going to my uncle's place for reunion dinner. Finally the topic emerged. And also my sister got my niece to call my father to tell the "whole story" and to inform that they are visiting the father tml. So the "whole story" is "the English man who was supposed going to marry my sister dies in a car accident with his family members so the marriage is off". Btw, my tang jie heard the story before my father finally heard it today. Haha I almost laughed till I cannot tahan. She even told my tang jie that she not celebrating the cny due to this "unforunate incident". My tang jie told me over the dinner and my reply is, "hahaha she got 3 kids, cny how can dun come". Basically straight to the point, and being direct. I knew her too well. Lies, lies and more lies. I seriously dunno why a person like money so much. Yes money is important but is money that important?

Why it is a lie? If it is the truth, and you have the cheek to tell pp that you are not celebrating cny, why are you reversing the decision? The lure of hongbao money is just too great. But why that story about the "ang mo"? I dun think the mind is stable. It is just her imagination. If she can claim she murdered my late mother, what other stories she cannot tell?

I never regret my decision to draw the line between her and me, cutting away all contacts. Just that it could be a tricky situation if we are going to meet tml. I have a strong feeling that this would happen this year, after avoiding it last year.

Is things going to change if we meet? None. I do not wish to change the present state at all. I am comfortable without all the nonsense she used to give me.

After the reunion dinner, I went over to my dad's place for a short while. Basically he hosts some of the company workers from China. So I went over to "show face". Haha. I am not in the mood to drink, i am still recovering from the illness that I have early in the week. Stayed for a while before returning home.

Okay lah, about time to zzz soon. Cannot tahan for long le after last night.
