cny

ok this year's CNY was memorable in (just) a few areas:

1. Winning Eleven 2010

2. V-day

3. Abalone Noodles

1 - for those not in the know, WE2010 is a soccer game on the xbox/ps3 and which is the MAIN game for most guys. i have like a hundred games on the xbox360 and yet i spend 50% of my play time on that damn game. which is alot. and i know guys who do the same.

it's quite amusing playing even the com (5star difficulty is alr getting boring), what more human players? this CNY, my usual few challengers had a great time playing the game with me. and happily for my competitive self, they no longer posed a challenge to me. afterall, when i lose once in anything i care about, normally i hide and practice on it till i'm good.

2 - ah v-day. it's my 1st proper one and therefore i made sure it went well. i thought it went fine but i dunno if the gf thought so too. haaaa. anyways i folded roses since the gf commented that the flowers i gave her b4 were attracting insects. so there. and of course a nice card with my fastidiously neat handwriting. hehhh.

3. i went visiting to a rich relative's house on CNY Day 2. the seat covers, cushion covers and even the damn tablecloth was LV, the decor was tasteful and the furniture obviously expensive. i commented to the maid that i was hungry and would appreciate some instant noodles.

and she cooked this up for me:

there was a total of 6/7 gigantic abalone pieces inside, and i heard from mum that she gave me half the can of abalone. so generous right. this bowl of noodles potentially cost like 20 bucks la i think. i look forward to going back again next year.
