shall write up another pose before feb comes knocking on the door! 

i developed an interest for yoga recently and decided to try out one session at this place which my aunt frequent...woke up super early on thurs for the yoga session as i have no school that day...and cos it was my first lesson, i was kind of unprepared, no mat and no towel lol....luckily my aunt did not have yoga lesson taht day so she let me use hers..and i gt a shock when she told me its going to be power yoga that day!!! 

this was the place! it was at the old premises of horse city...super far i should say!


and theres still some horses and ponies ard!


me after yoga lesson...super drained and feeling wobbling at my arms after that...but it was a super good workout and i love the challenging poses required of us..it was not surprising that my arms and shoulders were all arching like mad the next few days...it was my first lesson and the teacher alr wants me to try headstand and lift my whole body up using just my arm power alr...i suppose aching means its a strenuous workout yes? haha so im still considering whether to cont joining this yoga class. hopefully if i join, i can be able to master the headstand!! HOHOHO


there are some small animals there too!


this was my bro doing his yoga therapy..my bro has been complaining of backache for some time alr...and after x ray checkup, we realised that he has developed a backbone problem...its slanted to a degree taht requires him to go for physiotherapy..and my aunt introduced him to the yoga master that is trained in yoga therapy. so my bro has been attending his lessons religiously for the past few weeks. so, my bro brought me to the yoga place taht day too!

on Friday, i had cousins gathering! we decided to meet up after the cny period cos one of my cousins is going  back to Australia for study and also cos my bro is going to enter army soon. after much discussion, we decided to eat at thai express and sing k afterwards!

8 of us...this group of cousins is so called the teenage group of cousins...lol excluding my sis cos she wanted to join us thinking that we were going for bowling...but we were all itching for some k so she decided to go home by herself after that


yay!! k time!! we checked in at party world!!



we all come from the same age group! 1990 ftw!!:D





yay! we sang for 3 hrs and by the time we finished, it was alr midnight lol it was a fun gathering and i think we all enjoyed ourselves singing and laughing our hearts out...cousins are still the ones whom we spend our childhood with and who grow up tgt with us:)

i never take much photos this year though haha so tahts all the pics i took for day 1 haha!! i went to gene's ah ma's place on day 1 too and we played poker! i decided to play with $5 and in the end i losed $.50 though i felt taht luck was on me that day ahah

day 2

after so long, my relatives alr have a pattern of going to whose house, and on which day to visit every cny...and my paternal relatives will come to my house every second day of cny. my cousins decided to play cards! i have a big family, so while the adults are out in the living room talking, we kids will steal a corner and play (ok la, im not an adult anymore but i still join in the fun) lol and playing cards is a great bonding game!!


my nephews




jun and her jump shot again=.=


after that, we went to my maternal relatives' house to bai nian!

here is jun and the baby swing..i was highly doubtful that the swing can bear her weight lol


the second day of cny was also my 22nd birthday! lol so coincidental..and i feeellll soooo oldddd alrrrr:'( shall talk about my ageing another time though..lol so, after visiting my ah yi's place, gene and i left for our own time  tgt. and for my bd, we decided to dine in at buffet town!!:) heard some good reviews about it, and so we decided to give it a try:) luckily we decided to pay a visit there cos we did not make any reservations for it and when we called, we were told that it was fully booked for the night. and prob it was my bd luck, cos they were still open for walk-in customers when we reach there just to try our luck! yay! the only con was that, the bill for the 2 of us was super ex! i dunno if it was due to cny period or their huge gst, but *blurps* we underestimated the price lol 

gene with the chilli crabs!



buffet town has snow crabs toooooooo!!!


i decided to spam sashimi first. and look at their sashimi...they are so so thick!!!


this was what gene called the "meaty dish"
