CNY is a festive period for get-togethers and getting ang paos....as for me, it's also baby-sitting time for my cousins' kids. HAHAHA. Got to play with them and interact with them! Gosh. Never really got to visit them often enough so it's good that we came together once a year at least. Guess everyone's leading their own lives huh??
Playing with the kids was fun...but it's not when they get over-rowdy I guess. Esp. the boys la. haha. The most impt thing was to ensure they do not do a low-wall stunt on u and end up heads-first on the ground. shudders.
Also, watched 2 movies on the first day, after the kids have gone home to nap! haha...功夫灌篮 (Kungfu Slam Dunk) starring Jay Chou and 长江七号 (CJ7) starring Stephen Chow. In my opinion, CJ7 seems more worth it...the main draw of this movie was not the plot or special effects, it was more of the cute alien 'dog' and the wonderful acting by Xu Jiao, who plays Chow's son. (Okay as u all should know by now, she's acting as a he.) And the alien 'dog' is super cute la! Gosh. Loved the scene when the son thinks there's a ghost, and the other scene where the alien does all the funny faces you can possibly imagine!!! To top it off, Chow does spoofs of famous movies like Mission Impossible and even his own Kungfu Hustle!!!
One of the most funny scenes in the movie!
CJ-7!
On the other hand, Chou's movie was not that nice. Other than the draw of watching him do slam dunks and do some gongfu here and there, there's really no plot at all and the apparent lack of clear direction was shown. Love sub-plot was hinted but not developed. A waste, indeed.
More angpaos for the next few days I hope! Hope CNY's not gonna break into another routine again. Gosh.
