CNY
I start this post with the biggest and longest crying emoticon ever in the history of time wtf
T_________________________________________________________________T
I’m so sad today cause it’s Chinese New Year but I’m still stuck in this place. Here begins my first of many years of not celebrating CNY T__T
CNY is such a big part of my life. I, for one, strangely love to go visiting and go back to my hometown and all that jazz. (I know no one is surprised anymore cause I’m aunty like that wtf) I just absolutely love the sights and sounds of this whole festival. All my CNY celebrations had been somewhat similar and monotonous but I still love it. And I love the reunion dinner on the eve!
What us kids usually do is we’ll walk to this shop that illegally sells fireworks/sparkles/pop pop etc while our parents busy themselves with the cooking. We’ll miserably beg them for RM10, sometimes 20 and sometimes our very generous uncle will give us 100 so we can buy the huge box of fireworks!!!! We will then run and hop merrily to the shop and carefully pick our favorite explosives for the night.
Then, our moms will yell at us to go eat and we’ll go “alaaa wait lahhh” but as usual, I’ll be amongst the first who will sit on the dining table wtf. Thus begins the best dinner of the year where adults will all tend to talk at the same time and yet still understand perfectly what everyone said and kids will eat in front of the TV. Me? I sit at the table so I can get more food wtf. Pork, chicken, fish, vege, soup, more pork, roast duck omg *salivates. I miss that so much =(
After dinner, we’ll sit in the living room and start eating tidbits (my 2nd fav part of the day wtf). All types of nuts, cookies, PINEAPPLE TARTS, candies, KUEH KA PEK…..=((((( I’m so sad now I can cry wtf sigh last time when I was young I used to help my grandma make kueh ka pek ok I was the person who folds them in the end!!! anyway after eating tidbits and chit-chatting, we’ll all go outside and play fireworks!!!!!!!! woooot!!! I love the sparkles they’re so pretty =D Then the guys will light up those huge boxes of fireworks =D
The end of the first of many celebrations. The next day, we’ll all wake up extra early and get angpows from our parents =DDD but I usually get RM50 only wtf nevermind lah CNY is not all about money ok! *lies to self wtf. Then, we’ll go around collecting angpows from all our relatives and we’ll eat more more more and chat more and gamble! This, times 100, is how I usually celebrate my CNY. Extremely simple but it used to make me soooo happy!
My angpow money usually accumulates to around RM100-150 only and I always thought that that’s a huge amount but when I found out that some people actually get up to a 1000, I almost died of shock wtf. Sigh I’m hoping that when I go back 4 years later, relatives will give me 4 times of what they usually do..haih wishful thinking.
I usually don’t buy a lot of new clothes for CNY, maybe one or two tops and I’ll wear my cousin’s second hand clothes wtf why do I sound so poor like a peasant wtf but I don’t see the point of getting more new clothes when I’ve already been buying new clothes all year round anyway. My grandma used to make all my new clothes until I was 13 then she told me she couldn’t make them anymore cause I was getting too big =( . Then my mom had to force me to buy new clothes wtf cause I kept wanting to wear my cousin’s although got holes already one wtf sigh I guess my stingy-ness is innate one.
Ok lah don’t wanna talk about CNY anymore makes me feel so down =( Let me go eat dinner and feel all better *forced smile
Happy Chinese New Year!
p.s: i’m back to 48kg whoopdeedoo!

yaya you look really hot in all those pics (the fact it made this silent reader comment says alot!). Seriously i think if people first saw you, they would think you’re that hot, sexy, bitchy and snooty chick. Do you ever get that? Then do people suddenly go all WTF when they realise how wacky, crazy, humble, funny and aunty wtf you are? Hahahahaha. Happy CNY!

people working for my dad always wanna suck up to him n give me alot of red pockets like 1000USD each WTF and my relatives all gave me alot then my mom said “I will put all ur money in ur bank account, along w/ mine and daddy’s” So i said okay.
