Wonderful Weekend.

It was one of the weekends where plans were made like 7 days ago. Met up with nigel, wenyao and nicole to go collect the bbq stuff from gen's condo for gen's surprise bbq party. yes without gen knowing. haha.

After that met up with my dad and had dinner before meeting up with the rest of my family for the cemetry visit. It's the period of Qing Ming where we pay our respects to our ancestors. While waiting at the cemetry for the rest to arrive, I went online on my gprs to keep in touch with the FA CUP SEMI FINAL Between Man Utd & Arsenal. Man utd won 1-0!

Back to point, some brief history about my family. This year cemetry visit was probably the first time I see all my uncles present. (My dad has 4 brothers and he's the 3rd one). Now usually, being the only male in my generation. I have to pay respect for my uncles to my grandpa and grandma if they didn't come, well this year... to each his own. haha!

Some brief History
Having never seen my grandpa before, I was told my grandpa was very seriously ill around MAY 1983. However, as my mum was pregnant with me then, grandpa somehow kept going. It was only after my first month then grandpa pass away in august 1983. I guess he really wanted to see his first grandson then. (First uncle had 5 daughters, yes they kept trying... 2nd uncle had 1 daughter. My father had my sister first. My 4th & 5th uncle was not married then. Well I guess my grandpa was happy to see me since he manage to kept going despite being ill in May.

5th uncle got married about 7-8 years ago. I was trilled when his wife was about to give birth. I thought I could finally have a male direct cousin but to no avail, it was a girl. Sianz... all my direct cousins are females and the age difference is quite a great deal. My eldest cousin is like 37 already.... my youngest cousin... only 14... liewz... well Iguess no point lamenting as I got my friends.
History ends here

Anyway, we ended around 11pm and gathered a while for some snacks before my dad send my sister home before sending me to nigel's place.Sorry gen for not being able to come earlier. The moment I reach frist thing was to try out some of the bbq food i instructed them to leave for me as i heard it was quite good. After eating, it was mahjong!!! Woohoo.. We played till morning manz 7.30am. den all had a short sleep before waking aroundam to go eat breakfast/lunch at WHATA FISH @ parkway. Great meal. After finishing, all of us left for home sweet home.Once again I had another mahjong session and had to sleep till sunday night to let my body catch up. But I really like mahjong!!! Haha

: Name: Peter; Location: Singapore

Not boring not exciting, not lazy not hardworking, not handsome not ugly, not short not thin, not a bad guy not quite mommy's boy either. Regular Singaporean guy who like most guys probably get several different colours of the same shirt, t-shirt, berms, jeans once they fall in love with a particular design. Been through the era of cassette tapes of walkmans to discmans(remember the anti-shock technology) as well as MiniDisc(coming out at a bad time) which obviously lost to the emergence of mp3s and the CD to LD which saw LD losing out to VCDs. Next came the DVDs which 0wned the vcds and try to act smart by having 2 groups, HD DVD and Blu Ray. 2 words BLU.RAY. Loves to reminisce the old days when A&W rootbear float was still around and KFC was still a restaurant complete with waiters serving you Kentucky Fried Chicken. The days where bus fares were 10 cents for students and pizza hut's lunch buffets. Moves/dances to the jumpy music of Ipod Ads and likes to laugh at the Hello I'm a Mac, Hello I'm a PC advertisements!
