type='text'>The Dawn of the New Year</title><content type='html'>And thus,the Year of the Dog came,creeping slowly,silently canine paws(tired and panting and slobbering all over the place)onto the Cousins, taking all of them by suprise...&lt;br /&gt;-gasp-&lt;br /&gt;Well,maybe not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clad in their various armour-Ming in her formidable buttonskirt,which forces the enemy to Count-the-Buttons (including the really pretty PURPLE ones),Sheng and Nick in Stripey shirts, Aud,ready as ever in her garb the colour suitable for camouflage in the jungle, Lea in her jigglyness which oh so often warned the enemies that the Cousinship was coming and gave them time to hide (their sweets, i may add),the brave fellowship started to complete all the Rituals of the New Year so as to ensure prosperity and wellbeing in the Year of the Silky.I mean Dog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1)The Carryingout of The Operation Chilli Chicken."The chicken has cooked.I repeat, the chicken has cooked."-static sound-.This extremely delicate procedere must be accomplished at all cost.Even at the expense of killing the abalone that Shengle was taking to see the world.There must be a Netholder and at least 2 Flippers to perform this extremely delicate task so you are not advised to try this at home unless you have the license and the skill to.This ancient ritual was started 17520 years ago.(2 years=1 hour)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2)The Filling of the Plasticbags.The long process of helping a lone object which has not fufilled its sole purpose of carrying the delights, the angels of that-of-the-young (aka sweets) was done every year,'til alas,'tis fateful year when the lone objects were not brought out of their dark and hidden prisons in the cupboards of the Mamahouse.and so they were forgotten and abandoned,doomed to a fate carrying the waste materials of the sole canine-guard of the House.That and because the Long Travels of the Cousins to welcome the New Year only consisted of at most 5 houses,and attempting to extort enough sweets to fill an entire plastic bag is kind of impossible.And maybe pouring the entire jugful of sweets into a bag might be a little rude too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3)The Ho Jia.After tossing the raw fish salad (or lauing the yusheng) and consuming it one must then put the plate back in the center of the table and say hojia.This was done by every  single one of the race of Adults.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And thus, the Celebrations of the New Year Ended.just kidding.this was only the first day =P.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[[' I Call

Of course, because of our template our blog-entry titles aren't displayed so you, the reader, probably didn't know what the title was and, therefore, what the title was suggesting and/or the top-secret beginning of preparations for dog-year!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In simpler terms, Chinese New Year's coming. CNY is ultra-special because it happens around the end of Jan or beginning of Feb, which is when the year &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; starts. You see, the new year doesn't really start at Jan 1st because we all spend the 1st month or so of the year wishing it was still the last month of last year (with holidays) so by the time we all settle down into the groove of a new year and get everything started, it's the end of Jan (or beginning of Feb)! The ancient Chinese, of course, knew all this, and tabulated all these quirks of human nature into their calendar-rical calculations. Hence the genius celebration 'Chinese New Year'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*ahem* Back to the entry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is the upcoming year (the year of the Dog) so important that us lazy cuzinz must begin our frenzy of preparations? Well, this is no ordinary year! Each cuzin shall be facing wondrous and amazingly perilous...er...perils in the Doggy-Dog-eat-Dog (woof woof, doggies are cuuute, whosa cutey dooogy? OooOoo) Year of the Dog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's start with the youngest and work our way up, shall we?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuzin Audrex, the youngest of our brave Cousinship, is a Dog. Nono, she's really a Dog, I'm not just randomly insulting her. This year is HER year, the Year of the Dog. It is also the year in which she shall have to face and duel the dreaded monster whose name begins with a P and ends with a SLE. It is the year in which she faces her first intiation battle (aka: Major Exam) of many to come, which all young Singaporeans must likewise battle to fight a place for themselves in Society. All fans of the young Audrex will be pained to hear of her many preparatory measures which she has submitted herself to in order to come out victorious in this battle. She has *gasp* to limit her time spent Kadding at Neopets to a measly 1.5 hours a day!! And there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuzin Titi...well, to tell the truth, amongst all the Cuzins his adventures of the upcoming year seem to be the least epic and awe-inspiring. For him it shall be an ordinary year filled with ordinary trials and tribulations (aka exams, homework, bad-hair-days, bad-clothes-days, tennis elbows). By the end of the year he shall be faced with a most grueling and heart-wrenching choice...&lt;strong&gt;what combi???!!!&lt;/strong&gt; But that's another matter that shall be saved for our Cuzinz' End-year Post (just in case nothing else of interest happens to us throughout the whole year).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuzin Lea, with a mighty flourish of pen and brains, and managed to get herself early induction into a prestigious school! *applause* In fact, it is also Cuzin Ming's school, so the 2 of them shall be able to enjoy many joint adventures exploring the wilds of Gelare to hunt down 1/2-priced waffles in the coming year. Brave huntresses in search of cheap syrupy waffles (mmmmmmm). So you can see why this year is also a particularly thrilling and adventuresome year for this adventurous Cuzin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides having waffles to look forward to, she has also a &lt;em&gt;whole new school!!!&lt;/em&gt; Everyone say 'Woa!'. This includes a whole class full of new friends to make, a staffroom full of interesting teachers to poke fun at, a canteen full of previously un-sampled food (eh Lea, try the 2nd last Malay foodstall, very good), a campus full of waiting-to-be explored places and, of course, wonderful seniors everywhere! As this record of our adventures is being written, the young Cuzin has probably just about finished her Orientation and shall soon be launched headfirst into the delights of the upcoming year! Many preparations have been undertaken to prepare her for her new journey. We have outfitted her armour (aka uniform, which is as stiff as armour anyway) with the spiffy new high-tech 'drawstring' equipment and her hair has got itself a new cut, so watch out New-School, Cuzin Lea approacheth!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuzin Nicky shall this year be facing an initiation battle akin to that of Cuzin Audrex's, but far greater in it's difficulty and future repercussions. It is a battle whose name is widely feared by those of our nation and whose preperation time, that of 2 small years, is the measliest of all. It is a battle whose name begins with an A and ends with a -levels. Shall bold, brave Cuzin Nicky be able to fight and conquer? Shall his new arsenal of mighty weaponry, such as the 'cool handphone pose' and 'gravity-defying hair' be able to sufficiently abate the coming heavy stresses of this battle to help him retain light-hearted joviality throughout?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah-HAH! Oh battle foes beware! For this year Cuzin Nicky has a new secret weapon (which won't remain secret for much longer, seeing as it's being posted on the web), which is an alliance with a amazing superhero 'Supermaths-Tuitionman', formerly known as psychorapistsingaporeancist but now promoted to superhero status. Ally Supermaths-Tuition has a super-secret summons which Cuzin Nicky uses to summon him, and that is the handphone of&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuzin Ming, who likewise faces the battle begining with A and ending with -Levels this year. The year has started on a rather, well, detrimental note for Cuzin Ming. Having to battle with the horrid R-demon upon her return to school, she now finds herself beset with many more duels to skillfully sparr, with many worthy opponents to duel. Opponents such as Sir Finishreadingkinglearandhamletbyfridaythat'sin3daysandIdon'thavethebooks and Knight Prelimsarein5weeksandwehavenoscript. Of course, we must also not forget the ultimate opponent of all opponents....Lord HeyMingwhydon'tyougoonlinewatchcartoonsreadabookgoandblogbutdon'tdoyourhomework! Ah yes, that last opponent is indeed the hardest of all to deal with...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an effort to rid her mind of these horrid opponents, today Cuzin Ming took a well-earned, though technically not allowed, break from school to join in the end of Orientation fun. This included a dangerous, adventourous trek on bikes with 2 trusty bike-panions on a 2-hour ride to Changi Airport, with Cuzin Ming battling many vicious muddle puddles, aka muddles, on the way. Her secret-ultra-effective method of vanqushing muddles are to ride through them at high-velocity, thus scattering the dreaded muddle into splotches everywhere (her battle-scars included the many mud-spots found on the back of her shirt later). It ended rather un-heroicly with first a horribly painful crash into a gate-post and then an ignominous pushing of the bicycle over an over-head bridge, in the rain, against a wave of Orientated humanity who were cursing, swearing, refusing obstinately to '&lt;strong&gt;keep to the left&lt;/strong&gt;'&lt;strong&gt;,&lt;/strong&gt; in order to return the rented bikes to the shop. Our efforts were even mistaken by some (looks meaningfully at Cuzin Lea) to be those of idiots wanting to cycle in the rain. Wet, squishy, with runny hairgel in her eyes and floppy hair on her head, Cuzin Ming was melted by the rain. Quote Wicked Witch of the West 'Heeeelllppp! I'm MEEeeeEEEeeelting!!'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuzin Sheng, hopefully, has had a dryer ending to his day. Cuzin Sheng, too, has to face that dreaded A-monster in the coming year but to combat this he has his super-magic ability to turn to. The amazing power of watching m-18 movies legally as of this day. Of course, he shall have to watch them alone for now, but that's just a minor technicality. The Cousinship wishes Cuzin Sheng a joyful reading of his birthday book (which we sincerely hope is in English) and may many enjoyments be reaped by him this year. The year thus far has been uneventful for him, and this resourceful, genius-minded Cuzin will no doubt find a way to render the dangers of the following year into docile milk-hating rabbits so that peace may reign in his world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joint Cuzin adventures have not been experienced yet this year, except the mini-adventure (by Cuzins Titi, Ming and Sheng) of the family dinner with the famous personae (so famous a certain muscle spray was named after him) along with most of his famous family (who thus far have no household objects named after them except 2 softtoy doggies in chi paos, beware of such doggies, apparently the breed 'giordano' gives birth to litters of 6 pairs at a time). It consisted of many adult-initiated forages into the wildernesses of buffet but yielded only the results of weird-tasting ice-kachang and no funny cupcake-thing *sigh*. The onus of 'making conversation' was almost placed upon us, but thanks to strategic adult placement, we were freed of that by having the ever cool and shuai (though not as cool and shuai as Cuzin Nicky) A.Jie be a far more interesting conversant. Our bounty were atapchees (which come from the atap plant).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that's all the doings of the mighty band of Cuzins thus far. May further adventures of the Cousinship be recorded and read.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, right, almost forgot to write a bit about Elder-Cuzin A.Jie. But M.M. basically sums it all up for us whenever she says 'Wah Ah Jie!'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scribe: Cuzin Ming *woa*&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11727507-113680984458626528?l=cousinshipofthelamers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cousinshipofthelamers.blogspot.com/feeds/113680984458626528/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11727507&amp;postID=113680984458626528' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11727507/posts/default/113680984458626528'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11727507/posts/default/113680984458626528'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cousinshipofthelamers.blogspot.com/2006/01/preparations-begin-for-journey-into.html' title='Preparations begin for the Journey into Dog-Year'/><author><name>thecuzinz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17437443695439795451</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11727507.post-112867043685009418</id><published>2005-10-07T00:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-10-07T00:34:25.630-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Message...</title><content type='html'>-A message has been picked up by the radio-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sorry this blog is currently unavailable.Please try again later.Thankyou.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-End of message-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Recorded by Lea(who is still having exams unlike SOME people)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11727507-112867043685009418?l=cousinshipofthelamers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cousinshipofthelamers.blogspot.com/feeds/112867043685009418/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11727507&amp;postID=112867043685009418' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11727507/posts/default/112867043685009418'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11727507/posts/default/112867043685009418'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cousinshipofthelamers.blogspot.com/2005/10/message.html' title='Message...'/><author><name>thecuzinz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17437443695439795451</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11727507.post-111736618491376061</id><published>2005-05-29T04:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-05-29T04:29:44.916-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A Month Later...</title><content type='html'>Begin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lea has gone and come back! *yippee!* Gone where? I won't tell you, read the previous post to find out (nyah nyah). During the trip, she and her team-mates entered a worldwide competition called 'Odyessy of the Mind' and are officially the 32nd team in the world! Also...but, wait, let's move on to more important things first (more important than that silly competition anyway). They did SHOPPING!*yay!*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They also stopped over at Japan, Narita, and did shopping there too! Though they mainly just bought food. Yummmm, Jap food *salivates*.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well lets not waste our time typing about the trip =P and move on to more important matters (like what?) like the JUNE HOLIDAYS!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Jiejie pehing again)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This holiday, the (unsually?) studious Nick has decided to begin his revision work for school. We are all amazed. (wow) The rest of us will also do our work like good obedient Singapore students of course...just that we'll do less of it in less time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok that's all (for now) folks!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11727507-111736618491376061?l=cousinshipofthelamers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cousinshipofthelamers.blogspot.com/feeds/111736618491376061/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11727507&amp;postID=111736618491376061' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11727507/posts/default/111736618491376061'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11727507/posts/default/111736618491376061'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cousinshipofthelamers.blogspot.com/2005/05/month-later.html' title='A Month Later...'/><author><name>thecuzinz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17437443695439795451</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11727507.post-111433905211550369</id><published>2005-04-24T03:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-04-24T03:37:32.116-07:00</updated><title type='text'>What has happened since</title><content type='html'>Not a lot has happened since the last post (the first post).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No! Wait!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Ahem* Quite a lot has happened since our last post (first post).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lea (our resident modern dancer) has went for the SYF dance competition (YAY!). Her costume was, by the way, very pretty. It was red, flouncy and wavey. Very pretty. Yep. However, the SYF judges were screwed up and, presumably, one was blind, one forgot to wear her contacts and the last 2 were too preoccupied flirting with each other and digging their noses to pay proper attention to the dance item. According to them, the dance had nothing to do with the title and there was an abrupt change of music halfway through. Thus, these obnoxious bunch of stuck-up prigs and pompous traditionalists gave Lea's school's amazing dance routine a *gasp* bronze! Are those incredulous gasping I hear? *gasp gasp gasp*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In lighter news, 2 of the cousinship girls will be making trips overseas in the interests of the counsinship, as they will no doubt be spreading the laminity around the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nah! Lea'll be making a trip to Colorado for 5 days to represent the country in a competition 'Odyssey of the Mind'. This is because her group managed to top the national finals in the aforementioned competition. Go Lea! :) The other girl, Ming, will be going to UK for 10 DAYS during the June Holidays*aww...* for a literature excursion to further her intellectual abilites (which are so great already they need not be furthered) *blush by her*.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news, titi has become addicted to ROSE Online and keeps smsing Ming and Lea about it everyday (eg. How's your character? What level liao?) and he even had a dream about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nick sprained his index finger the yesterday and went for an x-ray. No doubt the whole cousinship was thrown into fits of anxiety and worry over the condition of his middle finger (which is an important finger).Oh and his x-rays looked very funny*giggles*.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ming also turned 17 *gasp* on Tuesday *hinthint for belated pressies*.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is The Cousinship reporting on "The Cousinship". Thank you for read this fortnight's update.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reporting done by Ming and Lea. =)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11727507-111433905211550369?l=cousinshipofthelamers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cousinshipofthelamers.blogspot.com/feeds/111433905211550369/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11727507&amp;postID=111433905211550369' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11727507/posts/default/111433905211550369'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11727507/posts/default/111433905211550369'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cousinshipofthelamers.blogspot.com/2005/04/what-has-happened-since.html' title='What has happened since'/><author><name>thecuzinz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17437443695439795451</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11727507.post-111193137369172602</id><published>2005-03-27T05:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-03-27T05:49:33.693-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Day Has Come</title><content type='html'>Welcome everyone to the blog of the Cousinship.This blog's main purpose is to record the many varied and miraculous events that befall the Cousinship, such as The Dinner, The Screwed-up Posting, The Receiving of RESULTS, The SYF Dance Costume (red with sparkles!) and The Starting of our Blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are a funny, wacky bunch ( at least, to ourselves) and have lots of fun squashed together in the dark on the small bed upstairs(which broke once because of us) in the magical Blanketland.
