A Very Happy Lunar New Year to everyone!
Today is the second day of the lunar new year and at this time of writing, we are waiting for my sister to get herself ready for the Lunar New Year.
Yesterday marks the first day of the Lunar New Year and as our family tradition goes, it was omy family's turn to host the annual "Tan Clan" Lunar New Year family gathering. There was not much exciting except the usual gossips and the usual comparisons of one's sucess as defined by monetary gains?!?!?!
Aunty "Fishball" will traditionally rant on and on about her children's success, the size of the flats, how clever the grandchild is and so on and so forth. Yes, this is the one time you will see me unconventionally and extremely quiet. Most of the time, I am not interested in their lame conversation.
Aunty "Fishball", as tradition goes, will gladly tell you that it is enough to meet only once annually so that there will be much to catch up on. Catch up on what??? Enough??? What does she mean by enough!!!???? Is that what family gathering and ties mean to her??? What exactly is wrong with her??? But then again, since she is the much dreadful relative of ours, I agree with entirely with her that we should only meet once annually. Enough is enough... ...
And of course, there is this wife of my cousin who wanted to comment the LV and Prada of kuehs!!! Luckily before she could say anything, she saw the price tag on the bottles and decided to shut up before I glared her to blindness!!!! I know I am evil!!!
So, we are now waiting for my sister to get herself ready then we will visit my maternal grandparents and then there will be so much more to talk about. Even with so much family gatherings at my grands', there will always be much to talk about. My littelest cousin will have something to talk about, even telling you that she supports Obama!!!! And mind you, she's only 11!!!!
So, who says that meeting once annually is enough!!?? Well, meeting once annually is enough if one is not well like or if the person is the much dreadful relative!!!
Enough said.
Getting ready to travel soon.
Happy Lunar New Year!
May the year of the Ox brings much prosperity, good luck, good health, joy and happiness to all!!!
