Chinese 牛 year!
Compared to last year's 9-day long leave from station duty, this year's break seemed to be ticking fast. Fetched 二姐 from airport on Saturday evening and it's a day gone! On 除夕, alicia, tze hau and me went for lunch at great world city before watching 赤壁 2. I was playing gooseberry when aveline 'pang-seh' me saying she'd watched already. =x
The 2nd sequel wasn't better off than the 1st, but it was a good movie nonetheless. As predicted, the actions were against the law of physics; mythbusters should do some experiments! Apart from the tactics used by that smart-ass 孔明 being good about this movie, the pace of the movie is taking ages from chapter to chapter. The battle wasn't even the bulk of the movie! 7/10.
After the movie, we had our mini-reunion dinner at 二叔 place. From then on till today, I had consumed food which will be worth for 6 days!
This year's celebration was a mild one. Nothing extravagant; nothing euphoric. Just 2 days to get-together with family. A decade ago, most of us wasn't suffering from the wrath of the working society or the stress from tertiary education. We have practically nothing to worry about. We had loads of time to spend enjoying this festive season. Now, we have to work, study or even serving our nation. Less commitment to freedom. But we'll still try to find ways to put down our burdens for awhile; that'll be a freedom more appreciated than before.
Organising for a BBQ anytime soon for the cousins...please keep your weekend free!
