okay so this is like the update post ya?
k lets back track to december. i got back on the 20th of dec but i lied to lenny saying i'd be back on the 21st and she believed so thats very very good. i got back on the 20th of dec 3 am and i msgeed her mum asking if i could head down and surprise her cuz she didnt know i was back already. of course i didnt ask her at that inhuman time!! people need to sleep!!
so she said yes and i headed down to her place around 5 [auntie told me that they were heading to ikea and would be back by then] i took a cab down and got there 15mins earlier and staked out at the playground keeping in sight the front door. i creeped over around 5.05pm and hid just then i heard voices and i peered around the corner to find lenny and her mummy returning from ikea!! so i hid under lenny's bedroom window hoping that she'll open her window and then TADAH!! HERE I AM!!! but no no she didnt. instead i waited in the sun and wondered why the hell was the gate opening and closing for the 2nd time. i though, dammit dont tell me she's smoking?!? low and behold, there she was sitting on the bench infront of her house lighting up. so i sauntered over and made my presence know with a little 'ahem'. her reaction. perfect. shock to joy. it was the best thing ever!! ahaha
i love my lenny baby so so much. anyway, after so much our relationship was on the rocks during open house. the long hours and my stupid hormones. we almost broke up. i had many sleepless night. waking up crying cuz i was so scared of loosing her. she means everything to me. more than anyone has. it was terrifying, the thought of loosing her. but things are back to the way it is now. i learnt to be selfless and not blame everything whenever something goes wrong. i love her so much.
I LOVE YOU BABY BABA!!
so today is chinese new year 2nd day., XING NIAN KUAI LE!! hanyu ping ying all gone. but nevermind.
yesterday was off to visit the kweks. like what we have always been doing for the many many years. so first stop. mama's house. all of us were in sarong kebayas. duh. we are peranakans!! and im a damn proud nonya and NO i didnt need some show to reinforce my pride for my tradition and culture. unlike my mum and sis. gah. I brought them shopping for kebayas, I brought them to buy kasut manik but do I get any credit? nope. whatever la. i give up. [thank u baby for bringing me to arab street and looking through the many many shops under the hot sun. i love u.]
so then after mama's house [all the women were in sarong kebayas, we bought a batik shirt for my dad. baba kwek!! ahaha] headed over to church where we were gawked at. duh! we were so frickin colourful!! i felt like a peacock. look at me!! my glooooooooooooriousness!! my beauuuuuuuuuty!! but yeah had to get over myself. so after mass it was off to auntie noni's. normally we'd go to auntie diana but she's off on some cruise to god knows where la. at her place. u want to makan u only eat at the kitchen. u want snacks? use a paper plate. her eyes follow u wherever u go. its so unpleasent going there. even mama hates going there. so yay! no auntie diana's. i love auntie noni's. u go there and its FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD!! food is abundant and she just shovels food onto your plate. like my grandma. its genuine hospitality. the old talk to the young with so much joy. its not about how u stand in the world there. their main concern? are u having fun and are u enjoying life. like how my mama is la. so peranakan. so just one house yesterday. as the years pass, the number of houses also decrease. i guess its just the way it is.
today? off to my mum's eldest brother's place. my tua gu. and i dont and have never liked going to my mum's side. the food also not that good. down there we pakay kebaya then everyone say: oh the little nonyas. must be watch the show then wear one right?
in my mind im like. u say that again? im a peranakan girl. a nonya. i knew my root long before that stupid show came about. dont be irritating. dont talk to me like im stupid ah. i know whats what.
try explaining to them the meaning behind each piece they tak faham but they talk damn big.as if they know everything! irritating. i didnt enjoy myself there. the noodles made by my tua gu which i used to love we bleh. nothing.
the food my mama cooked during reunion dinner were outta this world. excellent. her ayam buah keluak, he pio soup and chinese new year yellow noodles. yum yum!! her pineapple tarts and kueh bangkit. omg DELISH!! my mama is the best cook ever.
i love my grandma so so much. sometimes i wish i could stay with her. to be close to her. i envy the helper. she's closer to mama than i am. but still i love her so so much.
i love my peranakan family. it is so wonderful seeing my grandma in her kebaya. the matriach stole the day no matter what anyone says.
oh my pics are on facebook but i will post her another day too.
