Long weekend of 2008

I just have a long weekend last week due to the Chinese New Year holidays. Let me recall what I have done for the past few days.

6 Feb 2008 (Chinese New Year Eve)
I reached home around 2pm after half day work and ate reunion dinner with my family. I wanted to go to gym but I was so sleepy that I took a nap. So in the end, I stayed at home the whole day.

I continue watching 寿司王子as I wanted to finish it and watch ガリレオ again. I wanted to sleep early (around 12am) but in the end I was addicted to watching Face Off. I watched the last quarter of this movie on TV few years back. So I wanted to watch the earlier parts. In the end, I watched almost the whole movie and slept at 1plus am.

7 Feb 2008 (Chinese New Year)
First day of Chinese New Year… I got “hangover” after sleeping so late. Anyway I managed to go gym and did Bodypump and Bodycombat during afternoon. I was rather tired so I did not use the usual weights that I did for Bodypump.

It was the first time I took Kristy’s class and I like her detail explanation on things to look out for in Bodypump. I enjoyed her class. Also first time for me to attend Christina’s Bodypump class. I kind of enjoy it too. She is abit crazy. Haha.

I went home to continue watching 寿司王子 after gym. It was really nice to have a great workout!

8 Feb 2008 (Second Day of Chinese New Year)
Our family has a lunch where our Cantonese called it 開年. It means to have an opening for a new year. It is an important event to Cantonese.

I went to Rus’s house and meet up with Rus and Sharon before we proceed to Kat & Irene’s house for Chinese New Year visit. Poor Siew Peng is sick and she can’t join us. So we chatted there for a few hours before coming back to Rus’s house. We continued with our chat and started cooking dinner. It has become a practice for this group of friends to meet up at Rus’s house during CNY and have 魚生. It was rather fun when we said good phrases during the preparation of魚生. We ran out of good phrases and kept repeating it.

The gathering ended around 11pm…

9 Feb 2008 (Third Day of Chinese New Year)
I started watching ホタルノヒカル and got addicted to it. The story is rather funny. I am a bit surprised that Nao can act in such comedy. His acting is abit still and it is strange to see him in comedy. Maybe I am not used to it.

I attended Collin’s Bodybalance class in the evening. It is the first time I attended his class and I kind of like him. His explanation is detailed and he is friendly. I asked him about the discomfort I feel in my kneecap when I did some action and he is patient enough to ask which action and explain to me. He warned me that my kneecap may be giving me signs and I really hate to hear it. I need strong kneecaps to dance!

I continued watching ホタルノヒカル back home and gosh, I was enjoying myself! Haha!

10 Feb 2008 (Fourth Day of Chinese New Year)
I went for JD’s Bodypump as usual and did a 20minutes Cross Trainer after the class. I planned to attend Collin’s Pilates and JD’s Bodycombat class in the evening but gave up the idea as I want to rest my kneecap.

In the end, I finished ホタルノヒカル the whole afternoon and took a nap. I started watching the first episode of ガリレオ without any subtitle. I played back to watch the parts with subtitle if I cannot catch it. I did that for ホタルノヒカル and I understood most of the conversation as most are daily conversation.

Anyway, this is how I spent my first long weekend for 2008. Sounds boring? I am quite satisfied with what I have done though.
