I hate Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day. This year God decided it would be funny to collaborate both the events. (actually maybe its a blessing in disguise)
Reasons why i hate CNY:
1. Everything is red. i like black. or yellow.
2. The food is like shit- pineapple tarts, white cookie shit, love letters, bak kwa.
3. Decorations make me want to walk around with my eyes closed. (Lanterns. Red glow. Red lights. Machiam like red light district. and WHAT IS WITH THE Stupid cows/tigers/rats dressed in cheong sam. srsly)
4. The music. O. M. G. (I stayed away from the malls this year so i didnt hear much but still when i heard it i was like hayllleee no.)
I guess thats more or less it. I like the fact that we get to visit. And actually i realised meeting the relatives i meet only once a year is actually rather...pleasant. They are extremely lovely people even though I have no idea how i am related to like. half of them. And nowadays the small talk made is pretty ok. Like, i don't get "Wow you are so fat" anymore. HAHAHAHA.
Last time (when i looked like a monk), my distant relatives would come to us (my brother and i), look at us and then tell my brother he's so tall and handsome. then they look at me and they are like... Uhmmm ok next!
At least now i get a "you've grown up to be so pretty!".
On a side note, CNY is really fakeness at it's best. Today someone called the house and i picked up.
Lady: Errr hello, is this betty (my mom)?
me: Uhm No.
Lady: Oh er............... er... er.................... -trying to remember my name-
me: Sarah. Haha, hello. Who is this?
Lady: Ohhh yes!!! hello sarah -pretends she remembers me and didnt forget my name- this is Aunty meizhen
Me: -no idea wtf she is- OHHH hello!!! Ok, hold on i'll pass the phone to my mom.
Then later on i go to my distant relative's place where we gather every year instead of going to everyone's houses. one stone kill like 20 birds.
So i walk into the house and i've been seeing everyone for the past 17 years of my life every year. Still no idea who they are. Don't know how to address anyone either. So i smile sweetly and say hi aunty and hi uncle to everyone. AHHA. Champion. There's no going wrong with that.
Anyway, wilson and i stood in the kitchen for about 45 minutes laughing, catching up and bitching. I told him all about Rachel (ewww, gag, puke, faint) and he laughed and told me no one disliked her. Omg, HOW is that possible ok. Then i tried to clarify with wilson who some of the people in the house were. I didn't even know who the owner of the house is. And i dont know how wilson and i are related either. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA.
Oh and yesterday we went to Vallo's mansion to celebrate CNY with my dad's side of the family. The food there was really. amazing. there was catered indian food that came along with an indian chef to help us make thosais and prata and all. and then there was cheesecake and carrot cake and pork ribs and popiah and chicken wings and abalone and alot of other rubbish. We sat at the table and gambled for a couple of hours. My luck this year (As with every year) was like fuck.
We played black jack and i helped the dealer (korkor stu and isaac took turns to cheat our money) cut the deck. So each time i cut the deck the rest of us lost. So after a few rounds i was banned from cutting the deck while the two dealers tried to cheat me into cutting for them.
the best part came when i was left with 3 chips (one chip= $0.50) so my brother jokingly asked me to bet everything. I was damn sian that i lost my other 17 chips so i was like ok wtf im just going to put all in. then everyone joked that it would be funny if i got 5 cards and lost and had to pay double. In the end i really had to pay double. SO i was like Knnwtfccbicantbelievethathappenedmotherbitchtothemaxomgletmedie. But luckily dad took pity on me and forked out the rest of my debt and bought more chips to help me win back. I won back $4 so like............. yah. HAHAHAHA. everyone damn shiok. Just keep bastarding me. Like, really EVERYONE. jiejie lisa was like wow sarah so many chips left eh. and then korkor andrew also and then when i stopped playing the adults all laughed at me. ahhahaha DAMN BAD.
ok. thats more or less the end of my CNY experience.
Reasons why i hate Vday:
1. Bears are stupid.
2. Flowers die.
3. Everywhere is crowded like a mother bitch.
Ok anyway, contrary to my pessimistic tone, i am having a wonderful CNY and Vday. Went for a movie at night. Percy jackson is a DAMN stupid show. Like srsly. so stupid until it was quite funny so not so bad. ahahahahaha. The half man half horse srsly looks DAMN stupid.
Ok, off to complete Vectors I now. It is killing me that i cannot do simple subtraction and addition (careless mistakes. urgh)
Hope you guys are having a great CNY too. :)
