Chinese New Year

I've shifted into my new house already. It's much bigger than the old house i was staying in. On monday i had to get up early cos the table we bought from Freedom was scheduled for delivery on that morning. They said they were coming between 9-11am. So i had to wait n wait n wait for them cos they only came at bout 10:30. I actually dozed off waiting for them! I still couldn't sleep after the table came in. I had to wait for the foxtel ppl to come in and install foxtel. The technician came in at around 1pm. Poor him..he had such a hard time with the wiring. Apparently there was some problem with the wall. He spent at least 2 hours doin the wiring ONLY!! All in all, he finished the installation after at least 3 hours, which otherwise would have taken him only half the time. Anyway with foxtel installed, at least i have something to do at home. Otherwise i'm bored to death!

Was working Tuesday n Wednesday. Tuesday was alrite at work..just a normal nite. Wednesday however, being the first day of Chinese New Year, was ever so busy!! It was like everyone came in at the same time, so there was a bit of a rush. And for watever the reason it was, people seemed to drink a lot that nite. We sold scotch like no body's business~!!! We had a lot of mixers to make. Plus~!! we were serving *Yee Sang* so we had extra work n service to offer. We definitely had to talk more..explaining what the *Yee Sang* symbolizes n stuff regarding tradition n the chinese customs, bla bla bla.. LUCKILY i was working with Brenda, cos she knows exactly what she's doin. Anyhoo..dinner at work that nite was superb!! We had *Yee Sang*, long life noodles (or is it prosperity noodles~i'm not too sure) and CRAYFISH~!!!! (It's like lobster)WoohooO!!! It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO yummy!! Best dinner ever!

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!! Hope u have a happy n prosperous year ahead!!
