FIRST CHINESE NEW YEAR AWAY FROM COMFORT ZONE!!!

yesterday night(chinese new year's eve), i was feeling rather miserable,alone and pathetic before the clock struck twelve.
i did have a nice dinner at my another cousin's hse.
dun get me wrong,i did enjoy myself alot in their hse as my cousin's kids were hillarious and one of them actually reminds me of bas.
its always when night falls,im all alone in my room,
my soul somehow feels like being swallowed by the loneliness surrounding my room.
and that's when i started to feel lonely and start crying.
like wat kirks said,its no point crying,i know that too,and somehow i just cant help it.
missing my family and frens like heaps.
at the same time,wondering how is my first cny away from home would be.

well,my first day of cny wasnt as bad as i expected.it was much better infact.
i followed my cousin's wife to her parents place near chinatown.
her families were there.i felt kinda awkward.
but they were very frenly,its just tt ur like d only outsider thr,duh u will feel weird rite?
heard firecrackers from their apartment but couldnt see. *wa,more happening den m'sia?'
planned to meet up with sookyen's bestfren,jason(who is also from taylors and goin 2 unsw) in the noon.
and my nephew,jeremy sorta "abused" me when he found out i was leavin.
he was kinda violent.actually really.
he stood on my thighs and start usin his toes to pinch me,and then he started KICKIN me,and also he whacked my head.not once but numerous times.
wtf?
i aint ur punching bag,kid.and even my parents DON'T do that to me!!!
but i cant really do much since i was stayin in their place.
seriously,if he was someone close to me,he is definitely a dead meat!!!!
i mean i AM grateful towards my cousin(i would be 100x worst if it wasnt for her),but stil u will get kinda pissed when u were being treated liddat rite?

of course,i stil met up with jason.he suggested to go townhall and have a look.
i din know townhall is actually queen victoria building(qvb) ,if not i would hv walked there instead of paying 1.50 AUSD for train.
had a brief look.im definitely gonna explore further tmr since my bus interchange thr.
that place is just sooooo effing nice!!!!!!
thou i hv only been to part of qvb only.

im definitely going thr tmr again on the way back to uni.
after that,we decided to walk back to chinatown.

omgggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THEY HAVE SALES IN ALMOST EVERY BOUTIQUE ALONG THE STREETS!!!!!!

holy shit man,the shopaholic here trying so hard 2 prevent unnecessary shopping,here they are,having farking cheap sales everywhr.
when i say cheap,i mean really cheap.a top for 5 AUSD.its stil cheap after u convert sial.
i felt kinda bad cuz jason was with me,so i didnt try any shirt.
but i bought a funky white shades,for a freaking cheap price.




i lurve my gorgeous shades!!!!

oh man,im so gonna go back to that shop again alone to do more shoppingggg!!!!!teehee.
shopaholic will reward herself a lil' with the angpaoS she received.=))

when we reached chinatown,i was like WHOAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
chinatown is so effinggggg packed with people.jampacked.
people mountain,people sea *translate into chinese*




they have lotsa lil stalls selling diff kinda food.


satay.


this is a total rip off i tell u. 4 freaking AUSD for a friggin piece.

now the shopaholic started pigging out. *like i havent out on any weight sial*
i ate dumplings,korean potato pancake and japenese pancake AND bubbletea.





total damage?8.50 AUSD.on food. (i did rather not convert or else.......)
also,there is lion dance in chinatown. *not bad.not bad*



i had vietnamese food for dinner,some sorta rice skin or wtv u call them.
delicious!!!!!!!its healthy(no oil) and nice!!!!with some wine.yummy.
stuffed 3 of those and i think im on the verge of becoming obese like d americans.






its quite an interesting cny i would say,something different.
like what my mum said,since im goin home for cny next year,why dun i enjoy to the fullest while celebrating it in a different country.
and i did enjoy.=)))
