It had been a few days since I input an entry. The crux of falling sick b4 every CNY always happen to mi due to an overdosage of bwa kua and not drinking enough water. The next thing you know, I am on my way to Osaka and now I am back a "recovered" man!

It is so nice to have a reunion dinner after being away from the previous one due training. This time round, my uncle and the rest of my family got together to eat dinner. It had been very heartwarming. Not much words mentioned, but I can sense that my mother was very happy to have mi eating reunion dinner. Next year, there will be a new family member joining the reunion dinner - that is of course, my wife, Huimin.

Chu yi : Played Manjong with my 2 brothers - 2 rounds...shiok! Had been a while since we brothers got together to play manjong. With my constant travelling, it is important to find time to catch up with my two younger brothers. Had a wonderful streamboat with my nephews. Nice! As a kid, you always looked forward to get Hong bao, play and eat delicious bwa kua(Yes, this is the third time that I had mentioned it) Had manjong(again!!!) with Jaslin, Dave, Jeffrey and Mingyun. Felt sick, prepared for my Osaka flight b4 I fell asleep. I hope to recover b4 my flight to Osaka on chu er. Popped a few panadols and tried to catch some quality sleep.

Chu er: Was at Huimin's place. Huimin side had the tradition to gather together at her place. Had buffet and lots of interaction with her relatives. Tried to catch an hour sleep with all the rattling outside the room b4 I made my way to the airport. Destination - Osaka

Chu san: Reached Osaka in the morning. Caught some sleep b4 having sushi lunch with my Capt and first officer (FO). The sushi set was.....Original! Definitely not the ones that we had tasted at Sushi tei and Sake Sushi. Man, seeing the master chef prepare and serve it entree to mi as a set meal was definitely a joy. Not forgetting the aquarium full of puffer fish and see urchins infront of mi. :)

Did some walking around with my FO. Really enjoyed the walk cos I had the privilage of the FO to show mi around so willingly, so selflessly. Thanks! Went to Namba and ...mashi. Did some light shopping b4 having a Katsu don for dinner. Things in general, are still very expensive. With careful searching, you can still get good lobang for food and shopping.

Chu si: Preparing for my inbound flight back to Sing. Next thing, you know I am back in Singapore :) Let mi try to catch some CNY mood in the air while it is still around. Gtg now, meeting Lip Chee for lunch. :)
