Rant & Raves

I will be off to hometown today and I am having one week break! *grinz* (Don’t be jealous ya?)

What this means? Well, besides going back to hometown, Chinese New Year breaks normally mean the following:

1. I get to rest and recuperate for one whole week! Yay!

2. I can get Ang Pow (translation: red packet that contains money inside)! But some people complained that I am too darn old to receive Ang Pow. I say Fuck it. Its either you are too damn stingy or poor. If not, show me the money! Let’s hope this year will be as good as the previous year!

3. Gambling! Gambling! Gambling! Please do not misunderstand that I am addicted to gambling. For your information, I only gamble during the Chinese New Year, so its pretty much once a year. So gimme a break ya? Let’s hope this year I still have the luck to win big! If you have the luck, please play far, far away, kay?

4. Food! Nothing can beat the homecooking. Do you know that my mum is an excellent cook? Nothing beats homecooking, except maybe TukFuk restaurant in Sri Damansara… No…Hell no, nothing beats homecooking!

5. No one calling me about work and shit like that. Finally I can get it off my mind for awhile. So if you wanna call me for work-related issue, fuck off far far away please!

But this is the list what I dread:

1. Aunties will be asking me about the marriage questions, again. Like “When are you going to get married?”, “Still don’t want to settle down?”, “When is your turn to give out Ang Pow?” (Note: In Chinese tradition, only those who are married can give our the red packet), or “Still take Ang Pow? It’s time for you to give already!”
(I am considered lucky compared to my poor sisters. They will get questions like “So when are you going to have a baby?” or “When are you planning for a second baby?”… Well, before they get married, those aunties pressed my sisters about marriage. Alrighty, now that they are married, and aunties started to press for babies. Dammit, give them a break can? Why don’t you ask your daughters and sons about those questions?)

2. The boredom. Well, because my hometown has nothing much to do, so it can be pretty bored. But I have came up with plans to go out everyday to gamble, drink, gamble, and drink!

3. The same old CNY songs. They are all the same, except different singers singing it in different ways, but it is essentially the same thing. I mean, why can’t they get creative and make new songs? We have enough of the same old songs for too many fucking years!

Well, that’s it folks! I will be off for one week! I am not sure if I will be able to blog during this week. So for those who misses me, Gong Xi Fatt Cai! For those who don’t miss me: Gong Xi Fuck Cai!
