A few days ago, my high school friends and I decided to do a gathering before CNY. We decided to do the gathering at McDonald's where it is beside Melaka Mall. The first gathering of the new year, who isn't excited right? I got myself ready around 9.18pm, which means I had a few minutes before my best friend, who was going to pick me up. As I was about to wear my shoes, she arrived on the dot. Yet again, my grandmother had to entertain her while my mum helped me with my hair. Once everything was done, I walked out to greet Yu Xuan. Grandma asked why Siak isn't coming along with us. Yu Xuan said "Siak Zhong has plans every time," My mum almost forgot to pass my bag before we left. Luckily I reminded her.
Along the way, we chatted about our recent activities. I asked Yu Xuan when she is going back to university. She said "I'm going back after the Chinese New Year celebration. So I heard you're heading to university in March?" I said:"Yes, yes I am! Together with my younger sister." Suddenly a big black car cut the left lane which left us in shock and the driver gave us a really weird stare. It almost knocked our car! When we were about to arrive at our destination, we had to make a U-turn. When we made it, we had trouble to get a parking spot so we had to call Shi Wei for help through my phone.
After telling where we were, Shi Wei walked towards us. We were a little hesitated because he had a small fracture on his shoulder bone. "Are you sure?" we asked. "I'm sure! It's just a small fracture. What could happen?" Shi Wei said. Once the car was parked, the three of us hopped off and headed towards the fast food restaurant. There were ups and downs path along the way, Shi Wei kept a watchful eye on to make sure that I was safe. Chinese New Year is coming in two weeks, I don't want to break a bone. Anyway, we managed to find a spot inside of the restaurant because the outside is kinda heated.
I made my way in. Not long after, Zhi Bin arrived. Since the four of us were all here, it's time to order up! I wanted the McChicken wrap unfortunately it was only for breakfast so I decided to stick back to my all time favourite- McChicken burger along with fries and Coke, you know since it comes in set. Yu Xuan and Shi Wei ordered prosperity fries and the normal French fries. When the food arrived, we mixed all of our fries together with a mixture of pepper and salt. While we were eating, we discussed about the up coming CNY gathering. Most of us are busy during the first two days of CNY so I guessed it's from CNY day 3 onwards. We agreed to do it on CNY day 5 but I have to ask my mum first. We left the restaurant at 11.00pm.
When I arrived home, no one was in so I had to call my mum. She told us that they just done shopping at Jusco, she thought I would stay up till midnight. We parked the car at the house compound to wait for my mum to return. After a few cars, mum finally came home with my grandma, aunt and sister. The first gathering in 2017 is done!
