chu er wow. i like cny. its not about the angpaos......ok. maybe a bit. but its more of meeting people. especially when you get to meet those you only get to see once a year. and i've come to realise that you can guage how well the economy is doing by looking at the number angpaos you recieve during cny. haha.
now this is one festive that drains every bit in you. i am SO burnt out. yet there's more visiting tmr. my family literally celebrates 15 days of cny. and my parents are opening up their place tmr. malay food buffet on cny. haha. anyone who is interested to come over please msg me. my mum ordered 'insanely excess food'. so it's pretty much an arms-wide-open concept.
ok. this is serious. one of my resolutions is to improve my hokkien. was sitting with my ah ma and grand aunts today. i tried to converse in hokkien. ended up making everyone at the table laugh their heads off... like i just cracked some hilarious hokkien joke. i mean.. i CAN speak quite a bit hokkien. maybe artculation a bit off. but whatever it is.. i think i still need some improvement. sigh.. and its rather saddening that hardly any of the cousins can speak hokkien. for people their age.. understood speech from the young is like loving embrace.
