End of the CNY Holidays :(

The CNY holidays has come and gone so quickly! I feel as though I didn't get enough rest. It's Tuesday evening already and I feel a little sad that tomorrow will be a regular work day. There won't be another holiday for months to come. :(

Here was how I spent my CNY long weekend.

Sunday

Went to watch Inkheart with Kyo, Akira and Yonghao in the afternoon. We were accompanied by 2 rarespawns, Mango and Michael (this is the first time in years I saw FunZ close early). The night before, we were voting on which movie to watch; too bad not Chandi Chowk to China was met with objection. :(

Inkheart wasn't quite what I expected. I initally thought it was about a guy who got sucked into a book. It was pretty okay but the plot seems very rushed; I am guessing they just removed all the 'unecessary bits' from the novel and squeezed it into one super-abridged movie.

After the movie, everyone went for their reunion dinner. My family don't really celebrate it so I went over to Michael's house for dinner and Rock Band 2 with Mango. The game is amazing and the drum kit is a shining example of what a quality plastic instrument should be like. It makes the GHWT drums look like a cheap toy. I really hope they localize the Xbox 360 version soon.

Oops, Mango is off-camera.

Monday

I woke up early to prepare for house visits. This year, my mother's side has er, escaped to Genting so we have one less place to visit. We went straight to my father's side. This year was pretty peaceful for me. No one probed on my job, whether I had found a girlfriend, etc.

Someone rented Ip Man on DVD so I just saw there and watched it for the duration of the visit. The movie was really good! Now I wish I caught it at the cinemas. I didn't get to finish it as we left after an hour.

I went straight home cos' Miya was dropping by in the afternoon. I feel a bit sad that I didn't spend time to clean up my room at all. We played Xbox all through the day. Mainly SF2 HDRemix, Castle Crashers, and the usual music games. I hope Miya picks up his Xbox 360 soon. haha.
