Eve of CNY
Half a day of work and to head home to help Mummy to prepare for the night's sumptuous dinner. At 1330hrs, the whole dept kena called into meeting room, and kena a tongue lashing. A super not nice way to end the last day of work before a brand new year starts. And wad is the tongue lashing session all about? Punctuality, surfing of net, absence from work. Punctuality is targetted at the oily girl. Surfing of net and absence from work is targetted at me and Sharon. Anyway tried to cheer myself up and went home, to complain to my mum.
Helped Mum to prepare dinner and went for an express mani and pedi and got to know that Number 2 (second sister) will not be coming home for reunion dinner, she will be heading to her FUTURE husband's place for dinner first then come over for second round. Our dinner always starts around 7pm, and will end ard 8 to 9pm. And her FUTURE husband's side always start dinner late, ard 8 to 9 pm. So isn't it more sensible to have dinner over at her own Mummy's home before they proceed over to the guy's side for dinner?
They should have said earlier that they have dinner on CNY eve at the guy's place, then Mummy would have arranged to have dinner one day earlier or on the weekend, so that it is a really reunion dinner. Previously with her ex-husband, we always had dinner one day earlier so that the married couple wun get caught in between the 2 families, and it was a perfectly fine arrangement. And it was only after she divorced that we started having reunion dinner on the eve of CNY. Number 1's in-laws are pretty flexible too, they always have it the weekend before the CNY, so there was no issues. Anyway Mummy is pissed off, and feels that she can't wait to be married into their family. Which I personally also feel so.
Anyway dinner ended around 9 pm, and they started with the round of mahjong. Ended quite late, and poor little Tingting was so tired she slept in my bed and had to be carried home at 1 am. James went home to sleep coz it's the New Year. And I slept at 3 am, sleeping alone on the queen sized bed made me feel weird, not used to sleeping alone... Hehehe..
