how was cny?
falling sick is so sian. my cough got worse yesterdae morning n a fever came to play. so see doctor, gave me 2 days mc. this time my cough better go away 100%. i’ve been having this cough for too too too long. i followed his advice to rest well. he said the last time, the medicine didn’t manage to fully cure me ciz i didn’t rest enuff. so this time i sleep like nobody’s business. everydae i’m probably awake for 4 to 5 hrs. eat n sleep eat n sleep.
n theres no mood to do any work. i’ll find out wad i missed when i go back to sch tmw, n perhaps catch up during the weekend.
this yr’s cny was generally ok la. our family as usual didn’t visit many houses. sometimes less is more. house-visiting is dam sian. the less houses u visit the better. i see my maternal cousins n uncles n aunts on average 2 or 3 times a year. i don’t even noe them la. they r like so distant. n u go to their house is just stone in front of the tv n pretend to do something like eat pineapple tarts on the coffeetable in front of u(something which u can also do at home) n hear the aunties gossip n play banlak. basically try to while away the time until the adults feel they had enuff gossip n gambling n decide to leave.
n there r some aunties who u just don’t want to see. every year when my jiu mu saw me, first thing she ask me is the proper name i’m supposed to address her wif. wad the hell la. i only see u once a year n ur only interested in ur nephew calling u by ur proper name.
this year cny also never go chinatown(if u don't count the one chinese ao students have to go), but never mind. i cd still feel the new year atmosphere.
still the best thing this cny was cny mass n baiduri. baiduri always has a special place in my heart. so many many memories there.
