Haha we had such a fun Chinese New Year!!

Our reunion dinner was at my grandmother’s house. 30+ people. 3 tables. 4 steamboats. So much delicious food!! Then we spent the rest of the evening running around the garden like lunatics playing dodge ball with the little kids.

The next evening, we went to a Chinese New Year Ball. This year my dad organised two CNY events – a glitzy grand one for 1200 people (next week), and a more uh, kampong-styled one this week. It was still pretty well attended. 400-500 people I think? And 5 lions!

It was a plastic plate dinner, Chinese tea in styrofoam cups, live cover band, Chinese singing performances, door prizes, line dancing, and the function hall was still decorated with Christmas tinsel. Haha. Basically it was a big party, and my husband and I were really over-dressed!

My aunties asked me to “help out”, so I ended up serving platters of rice and food. I discovered that I suck at being a waitress. I was sloshing the sauces, slipping on the dance floor, bumping into people, stopping to chat to people I haven’t seen in ages, forgetting which tables I had already served. Ha, luckily I wasn’t getting paid.

Andrew snapped a funny pic of me on the dance floor, looking very jolly and unsure, amidst the line dancers, dancing to Dancing Queen. Hehe, we had a great time.

Stumble This!
