It's Sunday.......so for me dat means CNY is almost officially over for me liao even though in reality it lasts for like 15 days or so.........i'm already bck in my room rite now as i'm writing tis entry......luckily my dad sent me bck or else i'll most prob be stuck at the custom........u wun believe the traffic jam......both vehicles and human......
So another Chinese New Year went past me again.......it was pretty much the same thing all over again tis year.....but funnily to me it felt like i was a by stander watching everything unfold in front of me instead of being the participant........cos everything was like exactly the same........we set off on new year's eve to malacca to pick my 2nd bro up, den headed bck down to Muar to my grandma's place......stayed at the same hotel/apartment.......same level summore........met the same old relatives........ate almost the same old dishes for reunion dinner (with the slight exception of having yu sang tis year cos my uncle bot those pre-packed one) played blackjack with the same group of uncles/aunties/cousins and won about the same pathetic amount of money....ate the same old breakfast on the 1st day of CNY (muar otak and fried kuey tiao) got about the same amout of ang pao money.......watched the same old CNY shows on the tv......set off for Malacca the next day and met up with the same old relatives......ate our reunion lunch at the same old restaurant 4 years in a row (which was paid by my aunt 4 years in a row)....had almost the same old home-cooked dishes for dinner.......got exactly the same amount of ang pao money frm specific relatives.........den set off for home the next day.........but not before i got to eat dim sum for breakfast (at a specific place) and satay for lunch (once again at a specific shop).
Talk about deja vu........... By the way i just realised "deja vu" is french.....it literally means already (deja) seen (vu).......
So even though i've been looking and looking and looking forward to the CNY hols, i still went thru it just like any other year.......but then i still enjoyed it loads........not becos of the food (its almost the same every year though i concur that it's much better than wad i get in hall) or becos of the money (still my ang pao money is veri IMPORTANT to me....my major source of income every year...) but becos of the company.......i enjoy the atmosphere of having everyone gathered together and just having fun........but u dun really get the chance to do that all the time......its already hard to be able to meet up with a large group of frens, let alone relatives rite..?
Altogether, my ang pao money tis year came up to a grand total of RM966 and S$50. Satisfied...? U bet i am! And my dad gave me an extra S$50 when he sent me bck to so yay! Got money liao.....! But i dun wan to simply spend.......already spent quite a lot when i did my contact lens plus bot my new shoes.....so ya gonna save those money!
For me, its always onli after CNY that the year officially start anew, not when we reach the 1st of Jan......so its a fresh new start once again for me........i've really been slacking a lot.....n at those times to me it feels like i'm really not fulfilling my responsibilities......esp towards my parents.....cos all my expenditure here is burning a BIG hole in their pockets......so........today (Sunday) is the day when i want to make things right. To start i cleaned my room ( cos i forgot to spring clean my room be4 i went bck) and did my laundry. Next i'll start revising all my notes n complete all my overdued tutorials.... I also have a french test coming up tis coming Friday and i dun wanna screw it up so gonna revise my French everyday for at least 2 hours to prepare myself for it. I wanna do well tis semester....i really really do.....a lot depends on it.....and i'm definitely not going to disappoint myself, not after all that i've achieved to reach where i am right now......
On a side note, i tink i'm bloated......too much good food and absolutely no exercise.....AND my mum still gave me one whole bag full of chocs and cookies........most of which i wun eat anyway with the exception of the pineapple tarts i guess.......but i really need to slow down AND cut down my food intake liao........shud learn frm kenny sia and go detox for 5 days........
Super long entry hor....? Lol.......always feel a bit down when i come bck to hall after being home for more than 3 days.........call it home sick if u will........i contribute it to the miss-being-slack-at-home syndrome........but wad the heck.........as i said.....i'm gonna buck up.....so i'll save being melancholy for another time then. :)
Melancholy song for melancholy me? I don't tink so............
