This is gonna be a longgg post...So rub your eyes and wake your brain...Haha! Our CNY celebration was TOTALLY AWESOMEEEEE POSSSUMMMMSSSSS! :)
But, behind every awesome get together is a team of hardworking and dedicated people...which is...ALL OF US!! HAHA!
Jamie & Zon took charge of the planning and delegated who buy what, bring what, etc...For us, as hosts...we wanted to be OUTSTANDING hosts...Guess how we did it? :D
 |
| Me, Soon Hwee & Zhi Sheng trying out our HOST UNIFORM :D |
YEAH. We saw this at the shopping mall and it was like 40元 for one...so...WHY NOT? This corny CNY outfit is sure to up the 春节气氛! LOL!
Here's one pose by me that's sure to up the CNY atmosphere...HAHA! :D
 |
| Ready to spar...LOL! |
As we were shopping, Xuan Qi, Li Seng and Jiamin also joined us at Century Mart to buy their meat stuff for the coming get-together.
And yes, our outfits are meant to be SECRET...so we were like burying our outfits inside our shopping trolley so that the 3 of them wouldn't see it. HAHAHA!
OHH one more LOL story! I was calling someone on my phone when my phone suddenly jumped out of my hand!! HAHA! I also didn't know how or why I suddenly flinged my phone...I think it was my hand natural hand movement that went out of control.
When my phone left my hand, Xuan Qi and Jia Min's face was like "HOLY SHITTTT"..HAHA! SO WAS MINE. LOL!
Here's the epic part...My phone flew at like Xuan Qi's face and my instant reaction was to save it so I simply grabbed it off her!! HAHAHA!
And the thing is...I CAUGHT IT!!! HAHAHAHA! Jia Min was totally ROFL while Xuan Qi & I were like laughing uncontrollably. HAHAHA!
Ok, if you didn't witness it, it's hard to know how EPIC the whole 10 second moment was. LOL LOL LOL!
Because they were only 3 persons, I went over to join them in their shopping and to help them carry their stuff at the counter...
Meanwhile, my housemates were already done with their shopping...and they went out first...Little did I know their sneaky little plan.
Jamie then came running in with her camera and asked me to go out like they wanna take a group photo together like that...
When I went out...THEY ALL ATTACKED ME WITH SNOWBALLS!!! ARGGGHHHHH!!! I was really taken by surprise...HAHA!
 |
| Innocent me fending myself :( |
 |
| In defensive position while holding their shopping stuff... |
 |
| Me melee-ing Zhi Sheng...HAHA! |
These are the pictures of my evil adversaries...one of them is not pictured probably because he's too ugly or something...HAHAHA! JUST KIDDIN' :D :D LOL!
 |
| Evil fat Chor Seng |
 |
| Dark Zhi Sheng |
 |
| Sinister Jamie |
I successfully fended off their snowball attacks like any formidable hero would even while holding my damsel's belongings...HAHAHA!
I then went back in to help them carry the rest of the stuff...I knew when I come out, they will launch another evil attack! LOL!
So this time...I came out with Xuan Qi and USED HER AS MY SHIELD!! HAHAHAHA! That's what friends are for right?? LOL LOL!
Anyway, of course I didn't let my damsel get hit...LOL LOL! Round 2 of snowball fight began and of course, good always prevailed and thus I'm still typing this post. HAHAHAHA!
Yeah, costumes settled. Food settled by Xuan Qi, Li Seng & Jiamin. Drinks settled by Kah Wei, Zon, Yong Qiang and Gareth. We're READY :D Haha!
After a good night's rest, I once again woke up to a nice breakfast - custard buns! :D Haha..It's actually some egg bun or something...but it tasted like custard bun...haha.
 |
| Custard buns for breakfast! :) |
After breakfast, we started to ready our house for the influx of 20++ guests later...the next few pictures are like checklists...haha
 |
| Snacks and drinks? Check! :D |
 |
| Firecrackers and Fireworks? Check! :D |
 |
| Dessert? Check! :D |
 |
| One bowl of dessert for me? Check! :D LOL! |
 |
| Soon Hwee slacking? Check! HAHAHAHA! |
I must interject at this juncture...HAHA! Soon Hwee sat there playing DOTA 2 all the way...even until the guests arrived!
Our guests had to even tell Soon Hwee to stop playing!! WOW. Jamie was pretty pissed with him actually but didn't want bad blood...not auspicious la...HAHA!
This happens all the time...like after they cook dinner and after we're all done eating and his food is left there cold...he'll still be on his computer DOTA-ing. Haha!
We likened him to be like a secondary school kid. And Jamie's like the mum calling him to eat. HAHAHA! True story bro.
I kinda identify with that cos I was like that too last time. HAHA! But now, I stopped playing computer games already...Maybe once in a while. Now I'm stuck with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Blogging. HAHA!
And yes...here comes our first few guests! :D
 |
| Gareth, Charis, Zon, Julia & myself playing cards :D |
 |
| Take 2 :D |
While the 6 of us were playing asshole ti-tee, Soon Hwee was still DOTA-ing...HAHA! But asshole ti-tee was really fun...because I kept WINNING! :D :D HAHAHA!
 |
| Jon & Zon's photobomb successful! :D HAHAHA! |
 |
| Waiting for the rest of the guests to arrive... |
Yes, we were ALL WAITING for the rest of our guests to arrive. The meeting time was 7.30pm...and Shu Min, Ting Yi, Serene, Kah Soon and Yu Fen strolled in at 8.30pm!!
Not only was the steamboat boiling, but our blood was boiling too! LOL LOL! Just kiddin' :D HAHA! Yi Xiang was getting hungrier and hungrier which means...angrier and angrier. HAHA!
He was poised with his chopsticks all ready to strike...and he posed in our 花木路 whatsapp group "Where you all? Don't make me angry ah" HAHA!
But, what to do? Wait lor. While waiting...here are some of the stuff we did other than playing asshole ti-tee...HAHA!
 |
| Take random photos! :D LOL! |
 |
| Li Seng preparing the meat :D |
Eric and a few others helping to set up the steamboat pots and laying out the food :D :D Ohhh...just look at the spread :D
 |
| Getting ready to whack...ahaha |
 |
| ALL WAITING IMPATIENTLY...HAHA! |
The picture above is really EPIC...I think that was when Yi Xiang got pissed enough to send that whatsapp message out. HAHA!
Everyone was impatiently waiting with sweaty palms...sweaty from controlling our muscles to prevent our hands from attacking the food. HAHAHA!
Yup, finally, the VIPs came and WE GOT STARTED! :D :D Like, FINALLY...whew. LOL!
Ohh, regarding our costumes...as you can see in the previous few pictures...we didn't wear our corny CNY outfit YET...that's because we got a awesome plan :D
All of us had a favourite CNY song by Andy Lau called "恭喜你发财". WHY? Because, in every supermarket, THEY WERE SPAMMING THIS SONG!! HAHAHA!
Be it century mart or Carrefour, this song was spammed all the way, making our shopping experience a horrific one...HAHAHA!
We all heard it until it's in our bloodstream already...so yeah...And we PURPOSELY didn't play this song at our get together...BECAUSE WE'RE SAVING IT FOR OUR GRAND ENTRY.
The plan is...mid-way while everyone was eating, the 5 of us hosts will go in our rooms to change into that outfit.
Once we're changed, we'll get someone to play the song LOUD LOUD and we'll all BURST OUT of the rooms with our costumes and sing along with Andy Lau!! HAHAHA!
COOL RIGHT?? LOL!! So yup, Shu Min was our VIP that's in charge of playing the song...The thing about her is...our arrangement was when I signalled her...She will play the songs about 5minutes after the signal.
So I signalled her and we all went in to change...and guess what? SHE DIDN'T PLAY THE SONG. KTHXBYE.
After waiting for like 10mins in the room in our disastrous outfits (LOL), I called her "Eh, play the song leh -.-" HAHAHA! And she was like "OHH, OK OK!" KTHXBYE. HAHA!
So yup, when she finally played the song, we all came out and sang along with it and wished everyone 新年快乐 :D
In actual fact, I was the first one out...The rest were all waiting for me to go out and SING LOUD LOUD then they will also come out...HAHAHA! So...I'm the second cue...LOL.
 |
| 恭喜你发财 song played on my laptop and HDMI-ed to our TV :D |

After spamming photos at by the bridge...some of them went to the road to take jump shots! Since the roads are like totally vehicle-less at 2am, why not? haha
While they scattered to the roads to take their road-shots, the few of us decided to take photo at the 世纪公园 sign :D
 |

 |

 |
| Me & Yan Ling! :) All the way from Suzhou! :D |
Yes, Yan Ling came to join us in Shanghai with 3 of her friends during this CNY :D Glad to know she's doing well :)
 |
| Zhi Sheng & I :) |
 |
| Last BIG group shot :D |
 |
| Last group shot before we went back :D |
BUT, there's usually no guard there and people just walk in and out freely. -.-" But people can enter the blocks because the entrance is controlled by tap-card. So...that's where the real security lies.
Yupyup, that was more or less our whole CNY experience :) I'm glad we made it this fun :D Yes, it fell short of my expectations...I regretted not leading group games and stuff to warm everyone up with laughter.
But oh well, it was still awesome...it could've been worse right? Haha...Yeah, HAPPY CNY 2013! :D
Here's a video of the whole 花木路 CNY experience! :) Video credits to my awesome bff Xuan Qi :D Hahaha. Yup, first hand account of what happened :D
Let us teleport to the next day!! I woke up and saw how Chor Seng dressed up the angry bird in our house...haha
 |
| Angry bird with my ski cap and gloves...LOL |
Just after we finished steamboat yesterday, we got started with ANOTHER ONE!! HAHAHA! The thing is...I think our cosy, 5-people steamboat was MUCH BETTER :D
 |
| Cooked the leftovers :) |
Yes, those are the leftovers! One of the blessings of being the host :D Haha! Yes we gotta wash up and clean up...but, we also get to enjoy another round of steamboat ourselves! :D
 |
| Chor Seng & I steamboating :D |
 |
| Zhi Sheng & Zi Sheng enjoying the food :D HAHAHA! |
 |
| BEST SAUSAGES IN TOWN!! |
When our teeth sank into its crunchy body, the juice within oozed out and filled our mouth with wholesome sweet-salty meat flavour :D
 |
| Curry noodles!! :D |
So, yeah. That was Chinese New Year for us! :D 新年快乐2013! :) May the snakessss be with you! HAHAHA!
And yes, I'm born in the year of the snake :D #randomfact Haha. HAPPY CNY! :)
