it's officially the year of the pig! (how apt)


how's that. does it look like a pig? HAHA.

i realise every year (for as long as i can remember) on chinese new year we do the same thing. wake up (reluctantly) too early for a holiday. take FOREVER to dress. take FOREVER to get out of the house cos we need to critique each others' clothes and take turns with the full-length mirror before deciding that we're ok to go. go to my big (in terms of seniority) aunt's house for breakfast snacking on goodies. bump into my ex-teachers (i.e. my cousin and her friends). then head off to my other big aunt's house for lunch with my mum's side.

and every year at my mum's side we take a picture at the same couch. haha.

we took less pictures this year, thankfully. cos most of us migrated to one of the rooms to play with little lucious and his toys. and i realise university makes a very good topic of conversation. cos that's practically the only thing i've been talking with my cousins today and on friday.

oh and this year, the big excitement was over my cousin who's in cleo's top 50 bachelors list. haha! poor guy was mortified as the magazine (which had a pic of him half-naked) was passed from uncle to aunt to grandma to cousin.

ok well, tis been a rather good cny this year. went by really swiftly and painlessly :) see, this is why i always say EXPECT THE WORSE AND ALL WILL BE FINE. heh.
