Happy Chinese New Year
After a sleepless night, I finally dozed off in the morning. Stared sleeping from 0700+ until 1100h+ when elder sister came for visitation. Just walked around, talked and all. Forgot about the details already, but I remember watching this violent video on the web- the happy tree friends kind. He's only barely 10years old, but is already exposed to such violence. I hate to admit this but even with a small age gap of 7 years, I sense the kind of gap between the two generations. Darren, be more refined ok? =)
Then, I preened myself a little, before going to the various houses of the aunties and uncles for visitation. Sister didn't come with us, because she's forsaking the visitation for the double pay at work. She thinks too highly on money already=P. And I wore the OP shirt I got with clone the day before. Matched it with the blazer I got for prom last year, and the outcome-Not too bad, yea? Now that I'm looking at the same picture, I think it would probably look better, unbuttoned=). Shall try it next time.
First stop was the house of the distant uncle of my dad, my grand-uncle. He was at alone at home with his wife. They are without children, except for one fostered daughter, so sometimes it hurts to see them. They are like so lonely. So I swear I will probably have kids when I'm married. Senior life with kids would be so enriching and fulfilling. They conversed with my mom in Hokkien, which I barely understood. Hence, I could only watch the Taiwanese Variety on the TV featuring the comedy version of the Justice Bao. Kind of funny.
After a while we proceeded on to the second stop- my dad's cousin's, my uncle also, house. There were already some people who had come earlier than us for visitation, one of whom is an Indonesian, whom we mistook for a maid at first, and was stunned when she gave us AngPaos, only to realise that she was the secret wife of my other uncle.
The third house which we visited was like the central area for the entire Koh-family-- my dad's eldest brother, my uncle's, house. I was bored there, because i wasn't exactly close to my cousins and my sister wasn't around. So, I decided to chat with one of my uncles- my favourite amongst all, my forth uncle. But contents were pretty limited, so in the end overcame by tiredness, I lied there for a little nap. My mom was tired too, and she fell asleep. So my auntie was like asking us to go home and rest first, which we agreed to quickly. So tired*
However, amazingly, once out of the house, energy begun rushing back into me and once again, I'm charged! Bought Mcdonald's meals for late-lunch. By the time we reached home, sister had already come home from work, whining about the pain on her sole. I had the fillet-o-fish, and soon after I dozed off. One thing I learnt about myself today- I sleep readily in enclosed rooms.
When I woke up, it was already 1900h+. Had the remaining twister fries for dinner because appetite wasn't particularly good. After which, I came online again. Surfed the net to look for inspirations on how to celebrate the coming Valentine's. It's gonna be so fun!Labels: tired yet again
