Dong Dong Chiang!
I am very tired, but out of customary practice and respect for my chinese culture, i have to do this.
Gong Xi Fa Cai! Hong Bao Na Lai ( Give me Ang Pow )!
Going home by train tonight. Country road, bring me home...To to the placeeee, I belonggggg...La La La
Get to see relatives and cousins in our AGM (annual general meeting), and bicker about who never even turn up for this once-a-year event.
Have to have immense discipline to ward off temptations of evil chinese new year goodies laden with fats and sugar so not to come back to Singapore with a spare tyre.
Have to empathise with older cousins who get questioned by the elders why they haven't found THE ONE to get married to...and grimace at the idea that would do the same to me in 5 years'time.
With the passing of every year, ang pow money gets lesser, but more questions come with them. Really have to work harder for the money as u grow older.
But in all, I am still looking forward to it.
So, have a HAPPY ROOSTER YEAR, bok bok bok!
Dong dong chiang!
