This year Lunar New Year coincides with Valentines Day.

This year I did not follow my usual routine of visiting my grandmother first instead I went for church service.

Morning we went for the 1st service, and then we went for lunch. Most restaurants aren’t opened as expected. We finally settled for the only Chinese restaurants opened in Suntec, but it was a very long wait even for the menu.

Next we proceeded to Aaron’s maternal uncle for gathering. Finally we went to Aaron’s grandmother (paternal) place for gathering.

Our way of celebrating Valentines Day is watching movie. I wanted to watch Percy Jackson and the lighting thief but ticket was sold out and most movies were either selling fast or sold out, thus we settled on Little Big Soldiers.

It was supposed to be a comedy film but I don’t find so. The ending was unexpected and the actions were so-so.

The backdrop was set during the Warring Period where minor states were vying for bigger piece of lands.

It’s about an ordinary soldier (Jackie Chan) saving an enemy general (Wang Lee Hom). His intention was to capture him alive so that he can claimed reward and be exempted from serving in the army. He did not know that the “general” he captured was actually a crown prince and the crown prince’s younger brother was eyeing to kill him and be the future ruler of their state.

Along their journey, they encountered bandits and trapped. Eventually Jackie Chan freed the “general”.

It ended with Jackie Chan being killed by invading troops upon reaching his homeland.

After the show, we headed home exhausted. The next few days of the New Year we have been visiting relatives and ate non-stop. I hardly get to rest at home. What a waste of such a long weekend…..
