Yea, after about 25 hours of sitting in the car and being in the car for an average of 5 hours at one go, my butt is sore and numb, my right shoulder is aching, i am grumpie and tired and what do i have to show for? About RM 100 (Singapore $44.50) and an essay i have barely started on! *grumbles* Sorrie, i had begged my mom to let me off going to Malaysia for CNY but noooooooooo she wouldn't budged. And now i have a freaking sore throat and a slight cold. *grumbles*

Though, i do have some cute pics of my lil cousins and photos of my maternal grandparents place. :P

This year it didn't feel like CNY at all ... there was something lacking and there was definitely no mood on my end that it was CNY too. Maybe it was all the travelling and being on the road every single day. But whatever it is i am definitely glad to be home.

I guess the highlight of the trip was that my sis and i were walking around the area of my maternal grandmother's place and we saw two cat going at it. Call me weird but heh i have never seen something like this before up close and personal. *LOL*

So how was your CNY? Any interesting stories to share?

Here's wishing everyone a Gong Xi Fa Cai. Xin Nian Kuai Le. Xin Xiang Shi Cheng. Cai Yun Dang Tou.
