Chinese New Year Day 1

This is basically what I wore for Day 1. Didn't buy it specifically for Chinese New Year, but the beige top manage to arrive a few days before Chinese New Year, since it was new I decided to go with it then. Although Mom gave me RM100 (she was rather generous that morning) for me to find a decent top, having to raid a total of 3 shopping malls but to find nothing, I count that as failing miserably. Plus, I had Angie by my side most of the time, double fail :(

The morning of Day 1 was started of by the usual tea ceremony. It's a Cheong tradition to have the tea ceremony every Chinese New Year. Basically, it's where the young ones serve the elderly tea while saying a couple of auspicious phrases to bless them, and only after that we'll receive what every kid's longing for every Chinese New Year - Red Packets, also known as the 'Ang Pao'. We usually have our family tea ceremony at home first before leaving for my Aunt's place to have another tea ceremony there. But this time, for my grandmother.

too early for Yee Sang?

Dinner at Super Tanker with the relatives on mom's side. Cousins who just came down from Kluang were there too, had a great time hearing about what they have been up to lately. Most of them are furthering their studies out station, man makes me wonder where am I gonna be no wait, what am I gonna do in the next 3 years time. Well, I just have to wait and see what interests me :) & no Angie, not a Ninja.

They say wishing for you is like wishing for snow in California

Hi all, this was my Christmas.

Christmas this year was rather quite, no Christmas tree, no decorations, no jolly Christmas songs playing. I can't even remember anyone saying 'Merry Christmas' during the Christmas dinner on the 25th. Wow, the Christmas spirit has definitely decreased drastically as years pass.

Relatives came over for Christmas Potluck dinner on the 25th. Since PMR results were out just 2 days before Christmas, not a doubt I would get away without any questions being asked, am I right? Well, I just blabbed it out, 4A's (BM, Science, Maths, English), Science Stream *walks away. I mean c'mon so you/re son/daughter/father/mother/sister/brother did better, so what? I aimed and I got it, I'm happy. I'm not gonna stand there and take all your bull crap just to make me feel bad. & AS IF I didn't try my best! And I thought questions regarding my PMR results would sink my mood, turns out "You better exercise more ... (i don't even wanna continue)." =___________= The fact that he said it in an enclosed room was fine, why the hell must you blab your pie hole to the entire family, that's what I was pissed off at the most.
