HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR. This is my fav holiday, no 2 questions about it. People give $$ instead of presents (like in Xmas) and it suits my pragmatic, practical style way much much more! HAHAHAHAH.
This CNY, is the probably the 2nd last CNY that people will hand out red packets to me. This has got to be the no. 1 sign that I am a kid NO MORE.
This CNY, our relatives on Pa''s side, could only gather for a short amt of time. which means, really I only see them about 3h in a year. I dont understand how come people want to escape house visiting for a total of 2 days out of 365 days. Our relatives may ask the same questions all over again and that is just becoz they see us on a yearly basis, its only natural they forgot all about it. And of course, we are doomed to have those insensitive and unimportant topics to be discussed like WEIGHT?SKIINNY?FATT? and DOYOUHAVEAGIRL?BOY?FRIEND kinda topics and i think to tolerate it for a single day is ... ok! Anyway, I love my family, extended, poor, rich , close or not, simply they are my relatives and have seen me grown up and have nothing but good wishes for me. :D
Anyway, CNY is great because precisely, we only meet 3h this year, there isnt much to tolerate and we have just enough time to eat and make small talk without feeling fake and awkward. HAHAHAH. My cute bachelor cousin is still single and cute. AND still ask if i club or not. i dont! lol. well well, i also become those auntie-relatives that ask how old r u, hows ur sch and stuff. heheheheh. i've got nieces-extended that is already 15 years old. and is a probably gonna be a SNAG coz he ask questions starting off by "It may be a offensive question but can I ask... what is your age???",
ROFL. LOL. SO cute. His name is Louise, before i forget. Louise who is now currently aspires to be accountant , at age 15 y.o. because he loves numbers. His Sister, Chloe, 11. y.o, wants to be a lawyer and this year, we look alike cause we got similar hair styles, bangs with a bob cut.
my brother has grown heavy again and he is so sweet to lug 6 heavy packs of my fav penang coffee mix back home. Such a guy thing- i only want to have A FEW but he has to bring back 6 packs (which is like 6 months supply???). Probably because he thinks by buying 6 packs back, he can escape me bugging him to buy such things again. HAHAHAH. True.
the passage of time. so scary to me. but it is a journey that everyone needs to complete and go thru. no one can stay stagnant and even if you do, you are just living in your own world while everyone proceeds with time. i cant believe that my uncle/auntie are already 60-70 because they somehow remain as the younger selves of 50s. I want to them to stay the way they were... strong & healthy.
I have to say, that. yes, i am one of those who is staying stagnant, staying behind in my old world. remaining as a kid in my heart even tho I am approaching 30. LOL.
I also house visited my bf's relatives too. I envy his AH_MA who is about 90 year old but still every strong and healthy (for her age). She has 4 generations of kids with her, and everyone is filial to her. I think she is very fortunate and life is nice. She has alzemir, she forgets stuff and remember the old days clearly. I think i have these sort of condition too. didnt I just say I remember everyone as tho they were the young(er) relatives whom I have the strongest impression, in their prime, without kids, or without white hair....?
ANYWAY, i just want to say, please treasure your family!!!! everyday! especially during CNY, during a time of expressed intention of reunion & a precious grand total of 2 public holiday granted to us by our pay and pay gov...
