It's that time of the month again, the time to blog of course.
Valentines' Day was just before the New Year. Huh, such coincidence. Wonder what year will it be when Valentine's and New Year is on the same day...
Valentine's has always not been the day for me. No lovers or whatsoever. Alright, I've nothing to say about Valentine's anyway.
New Year Eve's reunion dinner was fine. Had steamboat as usual, yearly event. My family has always been the "united" clan. I mean, every New Year, we would always get together. And always at my home on the first day, even though my home is only a 4 room flat which is only 103 sqft.
Reunion dinner is always steamboat. I guess it's because my family, including my relatives, are from the
Earning-Just-Enough-To-Get-By group of the society. So we rarely have dinner at the big restaurants, unless it's a really big event, or we have more to spare. But reunion dinner always has it pro-side
lah.
My grandma asked me a silly question: When am i getting married.
Seems she already is looking forward to the 4th generation coming...
I didn't know how to answer her question (besides the fact that she speaks hokkien but i know only a lil' of it). She also "aimed" at my cousin who is almost past her supposedly golden age. And of course the uncle who still hasn't had any child wasn't spared either.
At the age of 82, its surprising that my grandma still remembers who has children and who has not married, even though she can forget her grandchildrens' names.
Now, in the past I've always wished there wasn't CNY. I was very shy back then. Shy, to the extent that saying "Happy New Year" to my relatives is a chore. But now, I would gladly say more to get more of that red paper thingy. People say the recent economy is not good. But i think, at least it's better now. It was so pathetic last year. I didn't even get $150 last year! I expect to reach $200 in a week's time, considering the fact that i'm
just $12 away from that '2'-zero-zero mark. Visit more homes!!
The first day of the New Year was somewhat boring (my house has always been boring anyway). This year, we ordered buffet. I pity the uncle n auntie who had to work on the day...
The buffet came at 9.30am, when my relatives are expected to reach at noon time. Oh well, what to do besides letting them set up...
