huat ah!

so. cny's over.

what have i done?
attained a stack of angpow. (merely symbolic in nature, because my parents suffer losses of a similar magnitude.)
had a reunion with my relatives and cousins. (really? i'll ask myself that again. really?)
wore havoc clothes. (it was fun looking at my relatives' reactions.)
did homework. (more like, used it as an excuse.)

cny was 3 days of being superficial and pretending to be concerned about each other while looking at the adults stabbing each other in the back.
only the kids were spared.

and i spent a large part of it challenging traditions (like refusing to buy new shoes) and being cynical (do you believe what you're praying to, anyway?).

that was harsh.
but hey, the 2nd day was fun. (my mum's side is alright. my cousins are all guys. how political can you get around guys? first thing they say after 恭喜发财 is "开table 开table! who wants to play 21点!")
and i did get around to packing my room.
and it was a sorely-needed break.

i got these a lot:
1. wts you're 18 already?!! i thought you were, like, still in secondary school!
2. oh this year A levels? aiya easy for you lah. (DIE, I SAY)
3. so what are you gonna do after As?
(me: i don't know ...)
doctor is it? doctor is it?
(me: ...)
4. wah, japanese ah! (erm, my leggings, but NVM.)

my sis and i were wondering what kind of cnys we would have when we get married and all.
i'd probably dao a lot of people.
we'd just camp out at one of our houses and play mahjong, or something.

still, i'm kind of glad to be back in school, away from the stifling atmosphere.
(so flame me.)


there's more coming on saturday save meeeeeeeeee ...
