day 1/15
today seems to be damn boring.
went to gran's hse lay out popiah...let everyone eat then still
there...watch the kids play ard with the senior citizens.then some
ppl left..then more left...then my family ate together. then
sleep
nowadays hongpaos like they give away when they see u. last time
is, u go greet them then got.
i just realised i barely wished 1/2 of all my seniors there new
year. *hopes my dad doesnt find out*
down there really damn boring. go there...see the kids play...eat
sleep...wait till evening then go home...sibei sian....
even my uncle and aunt knows that the past few years' CNY SIBEI
boring. when we were young( as in my generation) it seems to be
much more lively,etc.
then as usual,my sis and i mix ard with the same few relatives, for
others, we at the most say our greetings and some small talk.
i talked to my dad abt this when i heard some disputes being raised
when my aunt came over in late noon. i told him disputes between
their generation are ever so complex, complicated and
conflicting.
he said, here in sg, we can gather whenever we like. but for
overseas students, it's difficult.
CNY is getting more and more boring,mundane and has this mindset "
i-come-because-i-am-supposed-to-come,receive-hongpaos-and-mandarin-oranges"
or at least at my family.
1 thing abt the food is, as usual, we have an overflow of food. the
popiah is in such great surplus, we can eat it for dinner for the
next few days. then for the yusheng, i am counting how many are we
eating this year. last year was 8.
Yusheng count: 1
