Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year is here, again. It's the same old routine every year.
Eve: Go Grandpa's house for dinner then go home.
1st Day: Go Grandpa's house in the morning, have lunch, wait till everyone reaches then we all set off for our distant relative's stuffy hot house. Then we just drink their cocktail, make some small talk. The usual being:
"Whoah! So tall already, grow so fast!"
"How old are you now?"
"What school?"
Like hey, you ask that every year. It's not like I change schools every year (: But I guess this year is much better. They don't talk to us boring kids anymore. The aunties talk to their own generation. And us, we don't talk to them at all all. Cause they don't seem to want to talk to us. More on that later.
But this year Adeline, Jeanette, Chris, Szeying and I went to watch a movie to kill time. I Not Stupid Too. Like Shawn Lee has grown to be soooo handsome! Adeline & I were like exclaming whenever there's a close up. Like, so shuai. He looks like Tuan, only much much better looking. Haha (: Shawn, come to DJC! Haha.
Ok, the 2nd day. Which is today. We intended to go bowling. All of us. But we had to wait until we finished lao-ing yu sheng. Yes. But after that, the adults were so intent on gambling no one bothered about us. So we just basically rot in the rooms like we do every year. Waited till the distant relatives came and we became waiters and waitresses. Not bad, kills time :D I quite enjoy serving stuff. Haha, Tuan kept to his word and mingled with them. Applaudable. Hansel was just sianning everywhere and bullying me. Haha (: And Andy, he's grown up already lah. 21 and he doesn't wanna mix with us anymore. But there's an advantage: He can drive us around town next time we wanna hang out.
Oh, and I've this distant cousin. Who is my Grandma's sister's son's son. Yeah, let's just call him distant cousin. He's actually quite goodlooking y'know! Haha. He looked good in the striped long sleeved shirt and jeans. I mentioned in earlier posts (if anyone actually reads them) that any guy can look good in the attire mentioned. And boy, yes. He studied in British Council too, 2 years ago. But I've quit since then. We have the same timing: We see each other before lessons and after lessons. And we have never spoken or made small talk before. Only our Dads. What a waste. Mwahaha. Ok, whatever. I'm going to make an effort to talk to them next year. Yeah, like I will.
Going to Adeline's house tomorrow to bum around. The adults are gonna play MJ while we people just yeah, bum around. Hope Andy they all turn up (: Then we can do more fun stuff.
So yeah, people. Happy CNY.
