A day with my family

Since it wa going to be chinese new year eve, my parents and i decided to go to city hall to procure the items necessary for new year decorations at home. Actually at first I was not fond at all about going. Past experiences with my mum taught me that going out with her would surely result in wasting more than 4 hours of precious time.Besides, if i stayed at home, i would surely have an enjoyable time doing " homework" on the net. *ahem*

After much persuasion from my mum ( even my father did not really want to go), we finally managed to leave home after 30 min of dily dally. I groaned as I thought of shopping with my hard-to-please mum. She never ever bought any stuff when she shopped, not because she liked window shopping, but because she never ever found any clothes, handbags etc. that could, in her words, bring out her character. *sigh* I doubt I would enjoy that trip.

When we got to our destination at 5pm, I decided to watch the newest movie released,"The Red Cliff". My father, who was always a quite stingy man, to my amazement, offered to pay for the movie tickets. To others this might had seemed nothing much, but normally my mum was the one paying for all these. My father, on the other hand, always paid for the " big sums" like bills, taxes, my school fee etc. I was suddenly seeing my father in a whole new light (lol ). The movie would be starting at 6.20, so we decided to have an early dinner first.

We went to a seafood restaurant to eat. The food their was simply supererb, and after filling my stomach with satisfying contents, we went for some shopping ( my hatest part)to digest our food.
Well, at least it did not turn out as I expected, that was, wasting time. We bought many goodies and posters for our decoration, and my mum even bought a new handbag for herself ( this was very rare as she seldom saw accesories that fit her). Finally, we went to watch the movie. Hurray!!!

The long hours of waiting paid off, it seemed. The movie was excellent, no wonder it was offered " gold with honour" award by the media. By then , when we got out of the theatre ( I was feeling rather pleased with todays trip) , it was already very late. We decided to take a quick taxi home and retire. ( my idea again :D )

That day's trip with my family is one of the most enjoyable ones I have ever gone to. Due to the fact that our family always argues whenever we have any trip, this one is rather successful. I am looking forward to the trip for the actual new year.
