Why do we love?

CHINESE NEW YEAR DAY 1

Went to my Uncle's house first, the one who got a stroke and became paralysed. Now he's starting to learn to stand on his own already. Not bad progress. Stayed there a while, after which left for Ahma's house for lunch. Ate quite alot, then slacked and watched MVP: Most Valuable Primate. It's quite touching, and quite nice. Though i found out at the end that the "monkey" wasn't real. They were actors in costumes. It really seemed real though. Well, as with every year, went to my grandaunty's house and then back to my other grandma's house for dinner. That's day 1.

CHINESE NEW YEAR DAY 2

Today was exciting. Visited my godma! I only see her like once a year, so i always look forward to going to her house. Her daughter is so big already, and she's only K2! Very cute and shy. Ate lunch there, my favourite bratswurst sausages. Stayed for about 2 hours, then left for another grandaunty's house. It got more interesting. This is the first time that i visit her that so many others were coincidentally there too.

All my dad's cousins appeared, and i've never ever seen them before! For crying out loud. They looked please to see me, cos i think the last time they saw me was when i was like tiny. Anyway i just sat there and listened to their conversations, it was so... interesting. They reminisced about how they used to spend all day baking/cooking/sewing something, and that now they cannot do so because they have no time.

I totally agree (with the no time part) cos Singapore's pace is too damn fast, once you stop to catch a breather, you're few steps behind everyone else. So yeah, that's why so many people choose to migrate overseas, like Australia, New Zealand... I would want to go there too. After listening and everything we finally headed home cos we had visitors coming over. Ate, played, talked. Same stuff every year, and i hate it.

Did i mention i hate routines? Yeah i do. So it's like crap lah, every year, we never expand our family circle, and we just visit the same few people, and my angbao collection is limited. LOL. Just kidding. Well, that's my New Year's for now. Tmr heading out with boon kai and sim to Queensway, and if it's close, to Town.

See you guys in a bit..
