Chu1 Si4

Everyday is ang pows, red packets, ang bao, hong bao... *Lots of Smilez*

Oh yes, I love receiving red packets but no, I'm not money-face hor... I simply love receiving LOTS of them. Quantity.

I haven't count how much I've received so far. Today I got 3 more. One from my paternal grandma who dotes me lots. I don't need someone to tell me that, everyone can see my grandma is biased. :P (She thinks I look like her.)

Grandma's ang pow felt thick, I thought, Wow, so thick? Indeed, inside contained a $100 note and 20 pieces of $1 notes. Hmmm thinking about it now, I felt bad for receiving this much from her. Afterall, my grandma is retired, no salary.

I have wonderful grandparents. Maternal grandpa (used to or still?) dotes me. I remember when i'm small, he would say I'm a little China girl, very quiet and lady-like.

I used to be quite quiet when the adults talk and cousins play or watch tv. Sometimes, I happened to catch my grandpa looking at me, and he would smile and say 'Guai hor?' And I just smile back (shyly). Little silly me used to think maybe grandma won't like me because I 'stole' grandpa's attention.

Come to think about it, I'm very blessed. I would understand why my siblings would get jealous once a long while. (Haa, I assume they don't read my blog.)

Anyway.

For the past few days, I woke up early to shower and dress up. Been doing so for 5 days continuously.

Continuously. This word I will always remember and never spell it wrong. Why? Because this word has memories. When I was in Primary 6, my English was quite of good standard. (Used to attend Collin School.)

However, my Spelling was horrible. Even so now. Haa. Sounds familiar to Sec 4 friends. :P

Anyway.

There's this guy in my class, sitting next to me. In other words, my partner lar. Remember, I kanna scolded by Mrs Ng (and almost burst into tears), because I couldn't spell 'continuously'. Felt so sad. Then he leant over and told me,

'Just remember it has 2 u. See?' He wrote, 'Continue.' And said, 'Add a uos-ly to continue, you'll get the word right.'

Wow. Thanks to him. I always remember the word. Even if I forget, I'll recall... And remember. Like what I just did. :)

Ah, enough of my digression.

CNY has been fun for me. Before CNY, I went shopping and shopping. Didn't buy a lot of new clothes, but enough to wear. Just went orchard with dear sis and we spend $52 at Tangs sale, then went Haagen daz for waffle and ice cream. Used up the Starhub vouchers.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow!
