#GMKS #12 – Chinese New Year Eve Reunion

Chinese New Year is around the corner.  A week so to speak, and a week from now we would have pride ourselves with Chinese New Year Eve reunion dinner.  During this time, it will only be the time where all family members will gather together and asked how’s life hanging.  And of course for those who are single out there, the number one questions relative would be asking especially when you hit the mature age is “When will you be getting married?”

Cheers

For me I suppose it was pretty much passed that stage when I brought Deluxe home the first time during Chinese New Year back in 2007, but fortunately for her she has been interviewed years back when most of the relatives were here in Kuching.  Funny thing, how relatives tends to ask you questions even your own parents don’t.  I guess maybe that’s what they are there for.  To ask questions that parents won’t even dare to ask, so get the relatives and pretend to be on your side. LOL.  But never the less, it’s all good.  Lol, but I think a lot of you may have similar experience maybe you might want to leave a comment and talk about it.

Calling Everyone I Know

Is it just me or am I the only one who is having difficulty with Streamyx -_-” Keep on disconnecting, and couldn’t load a page properly >_<

Chinese New Year is around the corner. Yeap, and there are a few people whom I’ve still contact this year. Lol. Yeah, a good friend of mine whom I met during our Informatics days. Seriously need to catch up with him before I go back. Been a while since I last heard from him.

One of the most memorable things that we used to do together was probably writing a program for a school project. And apparently our group leader wasn’t really being helpful, and asked him to drop out from that subject. As he pretty much told me about it, I told him forget about what he said, and we’re going to get it done tonight. As I asked him to email me his source codes, and told him not to worry and will try to help him fix whatever his problem was. We pretty much worked the whole night through, as he was explaining it to me via Yahoo Messenger and I was going through it to see what I can do for him. To cut long story short, we managed to fix his problem and got him to prepared his part of presentation. In the end, we managed to pull through together and he pretty much scored higher compared to our group leader. Lol. But it’s all good. Anyway, once the holiday started, both of us celebrated by playing games the whole night through. That was because both of us just applied streamyx back then, so we didn’t had to get out from our homes. Yeah those were the days lol. Anyway, been a long time since I’ve checked up on him on how is he doing. Never the less, he has been supportive whenever I look for him for “kang tao”. So it’s all good.

Apparently he does reminded me a little about Bong while I was back in Miri. Yeah, we used to scratch our heads the whole night through to get our programs to run. Apparently we feel that our brains works better when everyone else was asleep. Probably less distraction, and we pretty much had the whole work place to work on. After completing our task, we would end up go to one of the 24 hour shop and have fried mee or roti john to pretty much reward ourselves. And of course, we too play games the whole night through back when Counter Strike, Starcraft, & Warcraft 3 was hot. Looking back, I still couldn’t believe that we actually participated in competitions which was pretty much sponsored by our previous company haha. Man, that was funny.

So before I go, I pretty much need to catch up with the Bong of Kuching (yeah that’s his surname), and also will indeed catch up with the Bong in Miri who will be back a few days earlier from me in Singapore. The very last time I saw him was also during Chinese New Year, along with Francis as well as Alex Kong a.k.a “Si Boot”, while I was also given the nick name “Si Boot Lung”. Lol. Anyway, forgotten how that all started but these are the guys that I normally would love to hang out with when I get back. And who can forget my Ah Beng friend Alban, who was my best man for the wedding. Lol, too bad Mars ain’t around then probably we would have also start another jamming session.

My childhood friend Idham has been close to me along with Faizal. As we pretty much had a blast during Chinese New Year as well as Hari Raya. I miss both Idham & Faizal mum’s beef rendang and chicken kurma. But ever since I came to Kuching, I guess I pretty much miss out going to his place. But never the less, they has never failed coming to my place for Chinese New Year. Along with Azizan who may be small in size, but we pretty much got the kick out of everything whenever we get back. Can’t wait to see them as well.

I’m glad to have these festive season as it not only pretty much brings the family together but friends as well. So you guys have a good holiday for those who are driving back. Drive safely, and do have a good time with your family and friends. See ya.
