CNY celebration
Tuesday, January 31st, 2006just came back from Seremban..muscles aching..u’ll know why soon enough.
28th Jan(’nin 30 man’)
Reunion dinner day..had LOTUS SOUP with noodles..that’s it.Well,only my mom and I..no need so grand.
29th Jan(’cho yat’)
went to church,got 2 angpaus..happy enough.then started our journey to Seremban..very excited.Quite jammed up(the road)..but it wasn’t as bad as I had expected.when we reached,we went straight to my cousin’s house..and they were having a ‘buffet’ there..so of cos,join in lo.hehehe..i ate KFC,curry chicken,fried wantan,and drank LOTUS SOUP.nice..after that got angpau..go to grandma’s house.
when reach po po’s house,got more angpau..my uncle increase angpau money..was happy cos it means that he is now financially MORE stable compared to last year.
then went to another uncle’s house,got angpau,ALSO increased..5 times more than last year eh.funny.hmm i dun reli like this uncle..cos he scolds my grandma sometimes..and his children dun respect my grandma AT ALL.dunno what’s their problem.jus bcos they are rich??—one of the reasons why i hate money
after that went to an aunty’s house(if u’re wondering why so many uncle aunty,my mom has 12 siblings..)..got angpau,ALSO increased!!!wahlau..i think economy better oredi la.when we got into the car,my mom asked ‘how much aunty gave?’..EVERYTIME i get an angpau..she sure ask.and 9 out of 10 times i answer ‘i not yet check’..how to check in the house right??ish..and somemore i also dun reli mind how much..as long as they give me a red packet..hehe.if not no face la..like i so old like that,cannot get angpau.
i dun mind my mom asking..but this year,things are different.my bro isn’t here to celebrate with us.some of our relatives still pass his angpaus to my mom,but some don’t.like the uncle who gave me 5 times more than last year.my mom said i took my brother’s share.what the..huh?????my fault ar?u want me to cut the note in half?sure no problem..but then there wouldn’t be anymore value to it.it’ll jus be a piece of paper with the Agong’s face behind.haih..felt so sad when my mom said that.all my life..i’ve been feeling like my bro’s shadow.this time is no different.and my mom said i was too sensitive.
after that went to ANOTHER aunty’s house to eat dinner.we had LOTUS SOUP.i can’t remember how much i got.
then went back to 5-times-uncle’s house.watched tv with my grandma while my mom ‘caught up’ with relatives.waited till 12am.was really happy cos i could spend some time with grandma..and pamper her a little.she must think i’m an ‘angel’ compared to my cousins.
30th Jan(’cho yee’)
ANOTHER aunty of mine came to grandma’s house to pai nian.my long awaited day.i could play with the baby!hehehe..but she didnt want me to carry her!=(
after that an aunty oredi mentioned above came over with her sons..(my cousins)..and i realised that the eldest cousin looks VERY FAMILIAR..but i stilll can’t figure out who he looks like.
then went back to 5-times-uncle’s house to eat lunch.we had LOTUS SOUP.ate quite little..all also not to my taste wan.hehe.picky picky me.ANOTHER aunty came over..this aunty i’ve only met once before..when i saw her,i was like..OK!and i didn’t know what to call her..and my mom didn’t offer any assistance till it was too late and they all realised i haven’t greeted anyone.embarassing.
after they left,my mom started complaining about them.and then i knew..that lady i was so nice to actually didn’t wanna have any relationship with my fanily.she scolded my grandma last time!what the………HOW DARE SHE?????who she think she is leh??my mom said she didn’t wanna have anything to do with us last time cos she’s a GRADUATE.and i was like..OK!!again. GRADUATE SO WHAT???????I ALSO GONNA BE A GRADUATE IN 4 YEARS TIME LA BABE! I DON’T SEE ME SAYING STUFF LIKE THAT!if i wanna balas dendam for my grandma,i can go up to her and say ‘I TOOK UNDANG AND GOT 50/50 EH!U LEH???I GOT NUMBER 2 IN CLASS IN KINDERGARTEN,100 MARKS FOR MATHS IN STD 1,NO 1 IN CLASS IN STD 2,NO 1 IN CLASS IN STD 3,MANAGED TO SKIP STD 4,GOT 4A’S IN UPSR,STRAIGHT A’S IN PMR,8A’S IN SPM,93.4 TER FOR SAM,WHAT HAVE U GOT TO SAY NOW?I AM ALSO A GRADUATE WHAT…i graduated from CHIM kindergarten ,from SSP,from SRI AMAN,from SAM.u only graduate from one place,don’t talk so much la..i seriously cannot tahan ppl who are disrespectful..ESPECIALLY TO MY GRANDMA..after that i didn’t mind not greeting them.
FINALLY managed to carry my baby cousin.she’s so cute!!!!she hugged me le..hehe.and when i took her picture,she was so happy!!it was AWESOME.
at night,went to my aunty’s house to eat dinner.’CNY is all about eating’..an undeniable statement.u guessed it..we had LOTUS SOUP.then went back to 5-tims-uncle’s place..and waited for my mom till 1am.helped my younger cousins to light their firecrackers and stuff(oops..)..learned some new mandarin words..fruitful experience indeed.then went inside and fed my grandma oranges.she was supposed to eat only one..but i fed her 2.muahaha..and when she realised,i had oredi fed her the last piece of the 2nd orange.too late po po!oh it’s not that she can’t feed herself..no no.but it would be so mah fan for her to go wash her hands,so i feed her lo.felt so happy when she enjoyed the oranges so much.now i realise,no matter what,your family is the most important.i think my CNY this year taught me lots of stuff.
my grandma was saying that she likes the comfort chair in my uncle’s house.i decided on the spot that i would use my angpau money to buy it for her.but my mom wasn’t as enthusiastic about it as i was.all i wanted was to make my grandma happy and healthy.i don’t care about the money.but i guess that’s how adults are.i dun wanna be like that when i grow up.
i’m getting tired.
31st Jan(’cho sam’)
my mom woke me up to eat breakfast.we had prawns,’fatt choi’,and LOTUS SOUP(good choice).that was breakfast.lunch,we had prawn crackers,and stuff.my mom and aunty were discussing other people.there’s another word for this,but i prefer to refer to it as ‘discussing other people’.they started naming all the ‘kiam siap’ ones,all the fat ones,who gave u what,who DIDN’T give u what,did she give u back any mandarin oranges?u know..she gave me ONLY 2 AR!!so kiam siap ooo.u know..the 3 of them,all share and give ahma only RM20 ar!!!how could they!after sitting there for 10-20 minutes,i realised the second reason why i hate money so much.went to the room to listen to songs.
dinner,went to aunty’s house for STEAMBOAT..at 3sth in the afternoon.that was dinner.after that came home..fell asleep in the car.when i woke up..i remember that my fren is gonna have a dinner with his extended family today.wondered how it went.
i’m exhausted.did u manage to finish reading my CNY experience?if u did,good for you.but u weren’t there to experience it with me.unforgettable.i doubt anyone finished reading.it’s too long.should have cut it short.but i couldnt’.
