Gong Xi Gong Xi. Happy Wang Wang Year ahead my friends.
So fast, today's Chu Er already. How's your CNY been so far - went to throng the chinatown bazaar? collected mountains of ang baos? met up with long-lost buddies? entertained naggy-but-well-meaning uncles-aunties? gorged urself silly with heaty goodies and expensive delicacies? prayed to ancestors and asked for blessings at temples? struck gold-pot at mahjong and blackjack tables? hid at home and slept whole day? hit the gym and sweated it out?
It's a nice long break eh, these 4 days. I can't bear to see it end. The next public hol will come around only in mid april, guess we'd be as dead as the dried bak kwa by then. Darwin's theory of evolution - only the fittest will survive. See you at the finishing line.
I thought I wouldn't be able to get through this period very well. Suprisingly, it has been easier and more normal than expected. I must thank all those sensitive, generous relatives and friends who offered their presence.
Then again, there are also some who tried to jokingly wish papa good luck in finding gf soon. Call me humourless, but I couldn't seriously even manage a nanometre of smile. Give us a break. Mama's as immortalized in my heart as in papa's heart.
Then again, maybe I'm taking it all too seriously.
But life, is not all just a big joke.
Or is it?
